Hi aman,
Have you reinstalled the OS by any chance ? there would be a key on your keyboard to activate your wifi (F2) if i am not wrong, if you could post a screenshot of your device manager (right click on computer > manage> device manager) with the network adapters expanded i could help you with the right wireless software.
Also do check under network and sharing center > change adapter settings if the wireless adapter is disabled, if its not much of a problem a screen shot of the same would be great.

2. I Formatted XP With Windows 7 But by Default it taking 64 & 86 bit. not Showing 32 bit option, i Choose 64 bit
3. After Installation my Fn+11 key Not Working, Wifi & Bluetooth not Working, I installed every driver as other web suggested, none of them working, check device Mgr,Updated Driver, Done Every thing as u think.
