    Hi here. 3:50 in the morning.

    I was brave(stupid)enough to try to swich from vista to windows 7 tonight.

    Windows 7 installation proram doesn't recognise my dvd drivers, and it asks for drivers before the actual installation begins.

    Anyone else with the problem?

    What can I do? I coldn't install windows 7...

    Thanks!!

    I think you might have got the incorrect version of Windows 7 that hasn't been properly tested? If you get the RC version it should be much better. From my experience all my drivers worked properly after installing Windows 7.
    I would suggest reinstalling Vista and getting a better version of Windows 7 because Windows has claimed no compatibility issues. Let us know how it goes since this is relatively new and I'm actually trying to compile a list of drivers required.

    Oh, I got it fixed. It was a dvd (rw) problem. I burnt it in a normal DVD and I installed it...

    Now... what drivers should I install? I mean, there are no W7 drivers for m1530...

    I usually downloaded (in vista) webcam drivers, sound, touchreader... etc

    Where can I download those 7 drivers? I am currently trying with Vista drivers.

    Is there any "M1530 - Windows 7" post or something??
    Thanks!!

    If win Se7en did not install your drivers just use the Vista drivers for your laptop.
