    Hi all, today my brand new m17x r2 kepy BSOD'ing whenever i tried to use a digidesign pro tools driver for audio, i tried disabling the other drivers and then uninstalling them but to no avail.

    so i completely wiped the main partition (raid 1 160gb each?) and installed windows aswell as the drivers off my resource CD, but my wireless card wont install from the drivers given, and i have no drivers for the 5870?

    can i just reformat it with the recovery partition i noticed when i was clearing the main one?
