What do you mean "again"? This is a new OS installation, the drivers
haven't ever been installed. paul3200 wrote: i am planning to install a windows 7 ultimate on a new hard drive. i have one question will i need to install all of the drivers again?? if i do will it just be the motherboard or the video card etc.??? ps i have a Fujitsu Esprimo E5905 with upgraded ram

If Fujitsu has not posted any drivers for the E5905 then install Windows 7 (but "do not activate", you have a 30 day grace period) and then check Device Manager) to see if the drivers Windows 7 installed all the device drivers you need. Then download and install the driver for your video card from the card manufacture's web site. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com

It will be the drivers for all your hardware that is going to be used under
win7 Though I believe Fujitsu only lists Vista drivers, so you have run the Win7 upgrade advisor?

That's clean. Not "again". You are starting fresh. You will want to get the drivers for the mainboard chipset, video device, audio device, network device(s), etc. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

A new hard drive used to install does not have the correct and complete drivers for the PC. This is known as a "fresh" / "clean" install
