    plus i wanna delete partitions and make a huge one instead

    Yes. You can pop in the Vista Restore DVD and restore the OS. At the end of the process, the restore program asks you to insert the drivers cd, simply reboot your Asus without putting the drivers CD. This will give you a clean install of Vista on your Asus. You can then install the drivers manually.

    Check my Vista Optimization Guide (signature) for a quick description of the utilities, perhaps you'll find something you wish to install.
