    Hello every one

    Today i successfully installed windows 7 ultimate on my sager NP8660.
    But after installation on opening device manager i find 4 drivers missing. I dont know exactly what these drivers are for but i am guessing they are for my
    1 fingerprint reader
    2 web cam
    3 sm bus driver(what does this do)???
    4 card reader

    I have tried installing the stock drivers but windows 7 wont let me. I tried updating driver automatically online but still uncessful
    Also i am not able to instal daemon tools (can some one give me a good alternative for win 7)
    A link to the best 9800gt driver for win7 will also be great

    I too had some missing drivers.

    Mass storage Controller is the only one coming up now. Everything seems to be working well with the exception of the IE explorer. It hangs up regularly and shuts down the recovers. Kinda annoying but other than that no prbs.

    Hope you can figure it out.
