    Hi all,

    I have an Aspire 9303 which i have installed Vista Business on. It originally came with Vista Home Premium. I have kept all factory partitions and took the liberty of creating both an application and driver backup and a factory restore backup DVD.

    From previous factory resets i am aware there is an application which runs to install all the factory drivers and software and this runs against the Vista Home premium OS.

    My question is there a way to use this application under the Vista Business OS to install all the drivers etc that it would install for Vista HP only it is installing them on Vista Business.

    Cheers.

    I was going through all the files and folders on the restore to factory DVD i created to see if there was anything there. I am sure there must be something.

    If i cant use the automated driver and application installer is there a specific install order for the software?

    Cheers
