Some 5720 Questions

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hello, I just ordered my first sager laptop a few hours ago.... I ordered the 5720 as stated above. I ordered it without Windows because I have a copy sitting here. I am curious as what software will be comming with the laptop if any at all, or if any drivers will be comming with it. I know I will need a SATA driver, but I can not find one anywhere. If anyone could point me out to where I may obtain the SATA driver I would be really appreciative. Also about how long on average does the laptops take to be built a week, two weeks, more? Forgive me I am really excited to get my new Baby. I just have to put some life in her first, but without the SATA driver I dont tink I will be able to install my copy of Windows Xp Professional. Also one other question. I am assuimgin that I will be able to use a external floppy driver to install the SATA drivers from when asked in the Windows setup. (I know it seems dumb because the laptop does not come with a Floppy, but ya never know with technology). I thank you for all of your help, and I am looking forward to recieving my laptop and I hope that I havent annoyed anyone, as I am sure I will have more questions to come. Thanks so much

I installed windows myself on my NP5720 with a Sata hard drive. I used a version with SP2. Windows recognized the hard drive without the need for any F6 driver loaded. Either the Sata is handled by the bios or the SP2 version on windows XP Pro can handle the Sata driver. Just so ya know .. BTW if you have a copy of win XP Pro without SP2 you can make an SP2 disk using your regular win XP Pro and a downloaded SP2 patch. I did it once, google for it if you need it. I think they call it slip streamed or something like that . Hope that helps
