    Hey guys,

    I finally received my Sager 9130. I would like to do a clean wipe, but I'm afraid that for some reason I will not be able to find all of the drivers needed. Sager did not send me any CDs with drivers on them For those who have done a clean wipe with Sager laptops, did you run into any issues? I hear that Nvidia doesn't have any drivers up for the GTX 670m. How would I get the driver for my GPU if it doesn't exist for download on the internet?

    If you just got it there isnt much reason to do a clean wipe as Sager does a very clean install to begin with. There normally is a drivers disc included with it but if it cant be found you can download them directly from Sager here custom gaming laptops - Welcome to Sager Notebooks

    ^totally agree with Hutsady.

    if you received your laptop with the operating system already loaded then you should have received the OS backup dvd and also a drivers disk. if you didnt contact your support who should be able to send you one.

    Thanks for linking that to me, Hutsady.
    Ahh! you're right! I forgot to check through the pockets of the Sager carrying bag. Hopefully Sager didn't leave an drivers out. I'm coming from a December/2009 HP DV6 laptop where HP would not give me all of the proper drivers. I suppose it was in an effort to keep people from doing a clean wipe. I even talked to an HP rep. and he told me that I'm not supposed to do a clean wipe and that I would have to send my PC back to get all of the drivers back. Thankfully, I had done a backup/restore.

    Do not worry about missing drivers. Your driver disc shall have all the drivers inside. You can also download the driver from their website. Good Luck!
