Reinstall Windows 7 from scratch on Area 51 ALX

Hi again all,

So, I just bought a new area 51 R2 (not upwards and turns yet, but I'll be sure to change my signature to the new machine in due course!) and need to restore my machine with a fresh install of W7 before I sell it on.

My machine was purchased as a refurb almost new that I got from the selling company to install W7 to before they shipped it. I don't have a recovery partition or DVD (although even if I did, they would put Vista on), so I need to start from scratch. I have a W7 ISO and obviously valid an OEM key. This works because I had to do an excessive installation of W7 a few weeks ago that things started to go wrong.

I remember correctly see the instructions here on how to re - install from scratch, who went into the details on how to add drivers and in what order, but I can't seem to find it.

Can someone point my in the right direction? Thank you! :)

Let's assume that your Mio worked before the reinstall & still work afterwards, given that your case illuminate at least one color; I'd be willing to bet that cmndcntr expected on .net framework 4; If you have installed CmndCntr 2.08.11 while the version need. NET3.5 certainly.
