    Long story short my laptop is in need of a reinstallation of windows vista. i try to do it but it hangs on the completing installation screen. i heard this was a problem with drivers. so i downloaded all the drivers onto my other computer and tried to burn them but they don't show up. im guessing because they are only .exe files. how can i get these .exe files to be read as drivers and how do i burn them onto a cd or dvd? thank you!

    During the install at the screen where you choose where to install Windows, it has a place that says load drivers. You can put those .exe files on a pen drive, and load them from there...I think, I have yet to see a problem with the install except when I needed to load a hdd driver during a xp install.
