    If i do a clean [not upgrade] install of Windows 7 in "C" drive, will i be able to access recovery center when booting up [by pressing "F8"].

    If anyone has already used Win 7 on Vaio-FW, then please tell me if there are any issues with drivers.

    Hi [SaaD], I installed Win 7 on my FW a few days ago. All drivers worked well, except for the graphic card drivers, which refused to install so I just downloaded the newest version off ATI's website. :) By the way, I used the guide posted in this forum. Just do everything that's written there, use the newest ATI drivers, and you'll be fine.

    Sorry, I can't answer your first question, because I'm dual-booting Win 7 and pre-installed Vista :(
