Found New Hardware message on 1st boot into new Vista Installation - S62Fm Notebook

Our testing has found that the sysprep process is stripping out some drivers from Vista during resealing the installation. The driver is not removed from the system, but disassociated with the device. Upon boot-up you may see the following message:
