    I just ordered a v100 with vista business and want to do a clean install of xp pro with a corporate disk.
    Anyone done one and what drivers from the web page are necessary?
    I have done numerous clean installs on many different dell models but this is my first lenovo.
    Thanks.

    The common part is still the same :
    WLAN/BT/ACPI/GPU/Sound drivers.

    I have been looking at some thinkpad forums and they seem to make it pretty tweaky or is just newbies?
    And frankly it looks like there is quite a bit of proprietary sofyware that needs to be installed and I cant tell the good from the bad.
    Anyone actually do a clean install?
    Thanks
