I just installed vista and i have some problems. I did an clean install and everything went great, But after problem reports and solution reported a had 5 drivers that i need to dl but they cant find them. I think one i need is the hp utilites, and others i dont know is there a place where i can see what drivers i need. Im think im missing alot of hp programs that came with my computer?

2nd i wanna make a system restore but i have no idea how you do it? I want a system restore that goes to vista when installed?
can anyone put i guide i can follow

thanks

I just received my new Laptop (VAIO SZ330). I am planning to do a clean VISTA install.

What is the best S/W,Utility to use so I can make a perfect copy of the the entire hard-disk with all the hidden restore partition intact.

I want to have the option for some reason if I don't like VISTA I will have my Laptop back to factory install state with all the restore partition valid.

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of it, nothing but problems.

1)How do I remove/delete/un-install software/programs/drivers. I found the Programs & Software icon in control panel that gives you the option of remove/repair or install. I thought that would work. My problem... everytime I try and remove something, I re-boot to flush out the memory then attempt to re-install. Next thing i know, I'm being told software is already installed. Last week something got messed up and i lost my video and sound drivers. I tried re-installing them, but everytime I tried I got a notice that they were already installed. I had to use system restore and go back to an earlier time to get them working again.

backup also includes files for my programs. after I reinstall Vista (clean) can I just use restore feature to restore those programs and make my computer the way it was before I reinstall?
