Complete Walk-through For Doing A Clean Windows 7 Install

Hi! What is that "ASUS Aircraft Hanger" wallpaper? I bought G51Vx-X3A from newegg and the second DVD includes 2 crappy wallpapers with G51 laptop on them. The laptop depicted doesn't even look like the one I bought (white lcd lead).

Would you be able to post those better wallpapers somewhere? Thank you beforehand!

good job on the guide, but what about those with no cd/dvd drive eg UL30? is there a way to copy the contents of the disc onto a usb drive and boot it?

I would think there would be a way, but you would still need a ODD to read the disc and at that point you might as well use the ODD.

What is that "ASUS Aircraft Hanger" wallpaper?

The image depicts two G73JH notebooks sitting back to back on the floor of a hanger (one with the lid partly closed behind one with the lid fully open), with a F-117 Nighthawk stealth strike aircraft in the background. From what I've been able to determine, a Google search almost always shows the CES version and not the one supplied on the disc. CES example:

Of course, neither would using the G73JH wallpaper.

A Google search turned up this full 1920x1080 resolution image, click to download:

Thank you beforehand!

A word of advice; please don't thank people beforehand. That's like when people use "Thanks In Advance". If meant to be actually meaningful, thank them afterwards. It shows that you were paying attention which I'm sure they would appreciate a lot more.

Ok, thank you, Kalim!

Ok, thank you, Kalim!

BTW, the second of the two background hanger images is clickable and it will download the full 1920x1080 resolution background hanger image. I'll change that to make it clearer.

Very nice writeup.
thanks!

You are both quite welcome.

Thanks for this thread.

I'm also someone who has a new Asus laptop without any discs included. Got most of the files from the Asus website you listed, but for some reason I cant get the Turbo Boost to install. It says my machine doesnt meet the minimum requirements.

Cant figure out what im missing...

Any other way I can get the Touchpad, camera, and mutil-card reader drivers? They are not on the Asus website. =(

The Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology Monitor requires both the driver and the monitor. I made that a little clear in the guide.

You are correct, the G73JH download area doesn't contain these. However, there are variations available on the ASUS website. Do a search on the ASUS main download page for each one to bring up their download page.

I have added links in the guide to the ASUS archives that I could verify.

I've noticed that many users have some issues with TurboMode (overclock tool on Power4Gear High Performance). It's necessary to install the "ATK Generic Function Service Utility", then the TurboMode will work normally.
