| | Drivers needed for new hard drive I've posted this on another thread but adding it here just in case others can help as well. I just purchase a new hard drive, and am wanting to put Win 7 64 bit on it. I have a HP Pavilion dv6700 series laptop, with the product name dv6833us. HP Pavilion dv6833us Specs (Core 2 Duo T5550, 15.4" TFT) - Laptops - CNET Reviews For full detail. So as you see, I have new hard drive on an old computer that isn't 64 bit by default. If anyone could help me out, and help provide the drivers I will need in order for my Win 7 64 bit to function properly I would greatly appreciate it. |

| | Does that mean I won't have to install video/sound or other components for the computer? |

| | You'll have to try it to actually find out. Windows generally does a pretty good job. You should be prepared to have to configure some things---either in the BIOS or within Windows. Most importantly, you will need a working Internet connection in case you have to go online to HP, Intel, or elsewhere to get driver updates if and as needed. |

| | Right, I have purchase recovery disk in the past, but it was for Vista 32 bit, not sure if they'll over Win 7 64 bit. I know I'll have to find out, it's just that I wanted to get a heads up before I go ahead and load Win 7 onto the new hard drive. I didn't want to have to scramble for drivers, I wanted to be prepared and just move on quickly. |

| | You may want to run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor First Go here and Download all your Drivers First and save them to a USB Flash/Pen Drive (HP-dv6833us) That way if you do not have internet after install you will already have all your drivers. |

| | I can't run the advisor, the laptop I am doing this on is currently not working. Which one do I select to download though? The Vista 64, or just normal Vista, since neither Win 7 is an option. |

| | It should work with it, it's basically the same thing, just a lil faster RPM. From 5400 to 7200. Okay, I'll start looking for the 64 bit drivers, thanks theog. |
