    Hi All, just fitted ssd to my CF-1, on one of the partitions I have a loaded a normal version of w7, I now have to download and install all the drivers.
    I do have the toughbook recover cd for this laptop, question is:

    can I extract the drivers from the recovery disc and load then direct to save me a little time and if so how ?

    Thanks

    Here is a ftp link to the driver bundles. Install in administrator mode.

    Description: Win7, Intel Core i5-540UM 1.20GHz, vPro, 10.4" XGA Dual Touch, 160GB, 2GB, Intel WiFi a/b/g/n, TPM, Bluetooth, Dual Pass (Upper:WWAN/Lower:WLAN), UL1604 Haz Loc, No Drive, Toughbook Preferred

    If you have the recovery disk why not load W7 that way. In about an hour you can load W7 with all the drivers installed for you.

    OK I see now. Then go back to post #5 and click on the link I posted. Downloading the driver bundle is faster than downloading each one separately.

    Must be a linking thing.
