Ok so ive come to my witts end and am not sure exactly whats going on but... if i load up the untouched copy of win 7 for my acer aspire one it detects the HD no problem; however if i use vlite to remove a few components, setup then fails to find the HD. how can i add the single driver its missing back in, or is some other component effecting the HD detection??? when i get win7 fully installed using the "OEM" disk there is no problem w/ drivers or anything so i don't know whats getting removed by mistake. thanks
