I had Ubuntu 12.04 per installed on my laptop.
Touch pad worked fine on Ubuntu.The moment i put Window 8 installation disk on Cd drive and
started to install window 8 ,the mouse pointer disappears and touch pad does not work.
I installed window 8 using keyboard.
Now, when i connect USB mouse,mouse pointer appears and started to work fine .when i disconnect USB
mouse,pointer disappears .when i press Ctrl without USB mouse attached i see circles but no
physical mouse pointer.My touch pad is dead.There is no and off button on touch pad.But USB mouse is working fine. I use laptop only with the help of USB mouse.

when i open Device manager there was no option for touch pad .It has only USB mouse option.

Things i have tried:



1) ran “Hardware and Devices” troubleshooter to diagnose the exact issue.
2)Installed driver from dell support center.
3)Installed synaptic driver for window 8.
4)installed softwares like "driver identifier" and "driver scanner" etc.
4)Installed latest windows update.
But no luck.
