    I want to do a reinstall of Vista on my new laptop due to all of the bloatware. I have seen some very useful threads on doing this in the past, but have lost them.. can anyone find me a link? Also, will I need to install any drivers or will vista install all of my hardware automatically? (Webcam & fingerprint included) Thanks!

    You should have a Drivers & Utilities CD, right? You can always update drivers via the Internet later. And it's wipe, not whipe. ;)
