A compatible device driver is a requirement to ensure correct operation
and performance of each component in your computer. Lenovo provides
all the drivers you need in your hard disk. (This assumes current operating
system is Windows Vista.)

Notes:

Most installations require a reboot to update the driver, otherwise the
system’s stability and audio or video may be compromised, or you even
have to reinstall the operating system.
