Same... no reason not to leave them on that I know of, runs cooler during low use and draws less power for no loss whatsoever, during light/idle usage.

Just remove all usb devices from your PC to help the process and put the asus CD in the PC so windows can locate most drivers.

Manually from the CD you may have to run the Bluetooth driver and the intel management software (I did)
Yeah, I gather it works but there's a lot of possible underlying glitches... for some reason my external slim USB DVD burner can't read the DVD that came with the motherboard, either... had to find the drivers on Asus site once I reinstalled Win7 for things like the NIC, using a laptop then putting them on a thumb drive.
