some help needed after a clean install on a AW 21s/b laptop

Hi there this is my first post as I'm a new Sony user.

I have a few question on my sytem setup after a clean install of vista home premium.

I think I loaded all the driver ect after the clean install as per the instruction in a post on this site, I then istalled SP1 on.

My first question is that when I boot up the system it boots fine to the desktop but then the HD disk light stays on for a good few minuets with CPU usaged in the 3%-10% ranged will this is going on, after that the HD light just flikers constantly......is this right?

2 Should I load Sony update prgram and run it and Windows update?

3 I have not loaded any Sony stuff so no keys like eject or BluRay etc work I cant seem to find what drivers are need and I dont wont to load all sorts of stuff on as that would defeat the perpuse of a clean install. I have only 50 processor runing after booting up

I ahve a few other thing i like to ask but I will leave that for another post as I think thats enough question for now!

That you for all your help

dont worry about blinking your hdd's LED ... it's ok in vista it doing always after reinstall ...it will stop ....
download all soft what is on sony website select your nobo model and select originaly installed and then select updates...
