This is all the drivers that's listed in the CD.

Sidenote: Dell has the turbo memory (Robson) built in if you check the Bios under "Flash cache module". When reinstalling the OS, disable that and choose ATA in "SATA Operations". If you dont, it will hang. Do this beforehand before installing the OS. Do NOT return them to their original state after completing the installation. I did it, and windows couldnt load. Although I'm wondering how can I restore them back without having any problems?

 

grr that CD is useless. After one successful install and a reboot. Its suppose to show a check mark next to the driver, but it doesn't. how do I know if it really installed the driver or not?

 

If u can tell me what u got with ur system, basically what u added, I can tell you exactly what to install and walk u threw it, so post back mate, cuz i did the same thing

 

T7300
Vista Home Premium Edition
Jet Black
1 GB of RAM (will definitely upgrade afterwards)
1920 x 1200
256mb 8600M GT
160 gb (5400rpm) (will probably upgrade afterwards)
CD/DVD writer (DVD+/-RW Drive)
high def audio 2.0
Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N mini-card
No webcam
9 cell battery
bluetooth enabled

 

bump........

 

are specs are similiar, and my 1720 is on its way, so i would like to know which drivers I need reinstalled also. Hope we get an answer.

 

I just did a clean install of Vista Ultimate and everything is working great.

Here is what I have

T7500
256MB 8600M GT DDR2
4GB RAM
320GB (160GB x 2)
17'' (1920 x 1200)
Vista Ultimate


I have also tried loading Vista Business and it needs the same things.


If you are doing a clean install, you will need to click the link "Load Drivers" during the Hard Disk definition screen. That will load the AHCI driver so you won't hang during the install. It took me 1 whole day to figure this one out.

After Vista boots and is up and running, don't be connected to the internet or Vista tries to load it's stuff but you want to load the Dell drivers first.

I download the drivers from Dell instead of using the CD


I installed the following in this order.

Intel Mobile Chipset
Intel Turbo Memory (if you plan on using ReadyBoost)
Intel Matrix Storage Manager - Notebooks
nVidia GeForce 8400M GS
Ricoh R5C833
Dell Touchpad

The only rub I have is Vista 32 only sees 3.5gb ram.

If you have any questions, email me directly if you like
