All of a sudden my power management is behaving differently. I can no longer use the mouse to bring the computer out of sleep. I must use the button on the front of the machine. This isn't a big deal really, the issue (for me) is that while alseep it seems to lose touch with any USB devices...

Problem solved. Turned the laptop on today and Windows 7 flagged the problem for me, and helped me download a new driver for the memory card reader. Only issue now is the hard drives aren't recognised, but plenty of solutions seem to be around for that.

I have several drives in the Windows 7 box, both IDE and SATA. They all work fine. I put a drive that was working fine into a USB enclosure and plugged it in. Rebooted the system, and although I couldn't see the drive in the BIOS (it goes by too fast), but I presume it's getting found because...
