    I want to use the recovery disk that came with my Asus G1S-X1 to get a clean slate. So I put the recovery disc in and when it asks me to put the cd with the drivers in i cancel. So what do i do after that?

    Then you take out the recovery dvd and boot into windows. You have a nice, clean install. Then you instert the drivers cd and install the drivers. Start with ACPI and Inf updates.

    I just redid my Asus, and all the threads I have read say to do the ACPI (ATK0100 driver) as late as you can. You might do some searching in the Asus subforum and see what others say.
