    If the sata controller isn't displayed in the device manager, you won't need to install the drivers for it. I'm pretty sure that the FE's don't use an external SATA controller, such as the silicon image one (Those are the drivers for it you are trying to install)

    Also, with the bluetooth, make sure you have wireless switch utility installed, and the bluetooth box ticked in the settings. Then turn the wireless switch on, and THEN install the drivers for bluetooth.

    you need to have the shared library installed first I think. And I had the same thing with the sata controller, I checked in the device manager and it has detected and installed everything correctly so I wouldnt worry about it.

    It looks like you have installed the incorrect chipset drivers, or the USB hubs/controllers are disabled in device manager.

    Have a look in device manager to see if there are any unknown devices, or any disabled devices, and post a screenshot here :)

    No.

    There is an application in the start menu which enables you to burn your own recovery DVD's, which in turn can be used to recover the laptop to it's factory state.
