    Ok, very standard install. Once you get the desktop going update your Intel INF drivers.

    Next, update your ethernet driver (Marvell LAN), which also appears as not working, from Gateway here.

    Finally, your O2 card reader, aka "Mass Storage Controller" in Device Manager here.


    Finally, I'd recommend pulling the 177.85 drivers for your video card. They work great for me. When you restart, go into msconfig (run) and uncheck nvsvc. Get the drivers here.

    You can use the dox vista 64 drivers on 7. Don't uncheck the nvsvc though..
