    Im going to do a clean install on my A6Jc when it arrives soon and was wondering if theres anything i need to know before doing it?

    Do i need any special SATA drivers or anything like that? Are all the drivers/utilites available on the Asus Support website? Do i need anything in particular e.g. the Fn+whatever buttons working?

    Any advice before i start will be very helpful thanks.

    I knew about the CD is just that i have heard lots of problems when doing a clean install on other laptops like:

    Thinkpads needing a seperate SATA driver on CD, and a special order to install things to get everything working e.g. bluetooth and Fn keys with Sony FE.

    I was just wondering if there are any issues like that i need to be aware of before i start installing the OS?
