- I tried windiws 7 RC on a virgin drive. I did not pick up my usb DVD RW and my usb HP Photosmart 1115 printer. I downloaded the HP driver software and Windows 7 did not install. It did not recognize my sound card. I tried several other things recommended by MS. To no avail. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 that picked up all hardware. I will try the real Version, hopefully they will have these problems fixed.
