Edit, read above, durr, so Toshiba site have driver downloads available or wut?

My brother wants to install a fresh Win7 os from me but we wondering if the lappy will burp. He don't have any toshiba install/recovery disks.

Satelite C675D-S7101
Yes, you can download all drivers from Toshiba...just type in your model number. Here were mine... http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...lFamily=804517 . Even my Win 7 Lite got held up by one of the drivers, but not sure which it was. I went back and just snagged the WiFi driver alone and all was good. If he needs more than that I would get it up and running then try each one at a time. I'm thinking Toshiba's junk has to be applied in a certain order to work correctly...don't understand why the recovery discs did not take tho. Here are all the drivers for your laptop... http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...ily=1073768663 .

Went from a base score of 5.8 to a 6.9...much improvement for little effort.
