    Hello,

    I ended up doing a clean install of Windows on my sz140. Everything works great but -

    Couldn't figure out how to get my D: drive to be my C: drive (I kept the restore partition) can't do it with disk manager as C: is seen as my boot partition. I'd like to hide the C: drive (6 gig restore partition) Never had this issue with the Dell restore partition.

    Couldn't get my intel video drivers installed - acts as if it doesn't exist. I've tried the sony intel video drivers as well as the latest from Intel's site.

    Intel Drivers must be installed first and then the GeForce. Did you do that?

    Also, I did a clean install and everthing works ok EXCEPT the S1 and S2 buttons???????????? I read a little on some posts but still cant figure it out.

    DOOOH - no I did the nvidia first. I'll try that tonight or tomorrow.

    The S1 and S2 buttons don't do anything on mine as far as I can tell.
