At least that's how it works for me. The only time I need a driver is when I re-install my entire system and the windows installer doesn't see my raid set-up. But for normal W7 users, drivers seem to me like a non-issue.








You sure that is not a manufacture of your computer doing this thing? Not a windows 7 thing?


I know my Dell laptop at work was set up that way and worked fine with updates...then one day while searching "Canon Camera Rumors" a web site had a nasty bug on it that killed the lap top. The IT guys ended up reloading windows and wiping the hard drive, they said this was easier. When it came back it was bugged bad and I had to de bug it myself. The problem was the IT guys (I believe that stands for Idiot Techs in this case) loaded all generic drivers. When I finally figured out the problem I went to Dell's website and got the right drivers, problem solved. Of course it wasn't windows 7 on the system, I was just wondering if windows had put a way for the PC to figure out what it needed and update itself.
