I have a sony z46gd with vista business 64bit edition.

i wanted to install win 7 so i created a new partition with the freespace and sucessfully managed to install win7 on the new partition

But now I'm trying to install the drivers from the europe sony site as pointed out in another thread , but sadly. ikeep getting the battery is not compatible error pointed in this thread

I suspect that the drivers i installed are for win7 business and not win7 ultimate

where do u find the win7 ultimate drivers for this sony vaio ? Any one tried something similar.

To tell you the truth, I didn't install the battery check...left it out with a few others. Don't think its a necessary component.

There is no distinction between the different editions of Windows. A Windows 7 driver will work equally for Business (actually is called Professional) or Ultimate edition.

Some of the Windows 7 drivers on the US support site have a higher version number than the EU support site. This is a good list of W7 drivers for the Z4.
