Vista - Several Issues...

First off Vista installed on first try. Looked great until I started looking
at my devices and and restarted without a disc in the DVD drive. Let me list
the issues and see igf anyone has any suggestions.
1. Vist will not boot unless the install DVD is in the drive and Boot order
is optical drive first. Any other settings give a boot disc missing or a
forced restart.
2. Sound... I see many others are having problems with the REaltek AC'97
drivers. As am I. The package installer runs but gives a message stating the
drivers are only for Vista/Vista x64, which I am running! Trying to install
the drivers using device wizard results in installed drivers that are unable
to load.
3. Unknown devices....Followed the instructions from Nvidia on these but
they aren't being shown as compatible with the drivers.
Obviously 1 and 2 are most serious as the unknown devices haven't seemed to
keep anything else from working.
Anyone know of any solutions to these issues?

Hi Sigil ...after installation Vista should have searched & installed the
drivers automatically ! all drivers are working perfectly !

i did not have to put in my manufacturer driver CD !

the Realtek AC97 driver version 5.10.0.5850 is working perfectly & Ati
Display Catylist 32 bit driver for Radeon X1000 mobility
