Well, one lesson learned is: If you can wait for Vista-64 to be a delivery option on a new laptop (January one would assume), do so. Let the OEM guarantee the driver/OS/HW configuration We don't have a copy of WinXP64 lying around. Maybe we will download one and give it a try. But it looks like a 64-bit driver issue either way. It's either in the DV6000 motherboard or in the nVidea board - probably the marriage of the two. The last episode seems to have worked out thus: After we made the All-in-One System recovery, We repartitioned the drive. There was a hidden Z: partition which we didn't touch. We created a D: for our Data partition and wanted to put all system stuff on C: We installed Vista 64 and it ran, but we saw those missing driver issues. We wiped C: We installed the All-In-One System recovery -- to reinstall the factory operating system - Media Edition 2005. >> It seems that the All-in-One restored to the D: partition, not the C: When we tried to reboot, it asked us for Operation system disks -- because it was trying to boot off of C: (naturally). Only be installing an MSDN copy of the OS, did we get it to boot. Only then did we see a bunch of system folders on D: that we think was put there by the system recovery operation. Sheesh! -Magrathea
