I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate Pre Beta again for reasons I will go into later.
This time Around I have disabled Automatic Updates because the patch KB958644 breaks Windows 7 and forces the Dell Mini 9 to boot into System Restore mode
So, anyway, after installation and initial patching, this time I am left with an Unknown Device in the control panel. The Device ID's are
DETECTEDInternal\blbdrive
DETECTED\blbdrive
And according to Chirs123NT's rather helpful Windows 7/Dell Laptop Site :-
"Now, it seems that this points to a file in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers called blbdrive.sys. Our best guess is that it has something to do with the Block Level Backup Engine (which is responsible for image-based backups in Windows Vista and higher, through a feature called CompletePC Backup and Restore), but we’re not 100% sure. If anyone has any information on this please let us know."
Now I am really confused, I have just plugged my Dell Mini 9 in at work, with Full Size USB keybaord, Mouse and External VGA monitor. I go to the control panel and said device is not longer listed as requiring attention.
More soon...

It is the JMB38X MS and SM/MMC Host Controller. I have just installed the XP drivers and they work.
He is right. I had to re-do my system after that vicious update as well =(

Thanks for all your hard work.
Is that the only troublesome update? Or to put it another way, is it safe to do every other Win7 update but the one you listed on the Mini 9?
That's the only one I have encountered so far :-) I always install them one at a time and hide the troublesome ones in WIndows Update
Where can I get those drivers? I have the same problem, but in an Aspire One. Thanks.
Sorry for the double post. I forgot to check for follow up e-mails.
