I clean installed my laptop for 3 times, as far as I know it doesn't really matter in which order you do it.

 

Yep...same here, 3 clean Vista Installs and also 3 Windows 7 installs, just let the updater do its magic, then check the device manager to see if there are any unknown devices. From there on help is good.

What about other points which are not in list, like bios,motherboard,click to disk,security,raid and others.. ?? Because first i was trying to install drivers for W7 myself, there were found many unknown devices and the switching between stamina and speed was not working, so i thought that it has to be the special order to install drivers

 

After the drivers were installed according to this list, switching between STAMINA-SPEED is not working ,there is no memory card shown in device manager and one more, i'm using large capacity battery and it indicates 3.30 hrs/ instead of 6.2 hrs. how it was on Vista. Any suggestion >???

You may find the above thread helpful.

 

Thnx, a few minutes ago switching stamina-speed was fixed by installing wista drivers.
There are few problems left
1) Battery capacity 3.3hrs instead of 6.2 like it was by Vista OS (Naybe i need something like battery cheker >?)
2) memory card is not shown in device manager after installation
3)There is unknown device in device manager " Standart SDA-compatible SD host contoller" --What is it >? which driver needed for it >??
