Installing a PCI Graphics card into a Lenovo M52

Well my card arrived today and its now in the machine and working, there was a bit of fiddling around to both physically fit it and to get to working properly in Windows but as promised heres the walk through.

Open the case (use the buttons on the side).
Remove the riser array (I had to use a screwdriver here).
Fit card on riser and replace riser array.
Close case and put video input onto PCI card.
Boot machine and enter BIOS (press enter).
Press F1, go into Devices then Video Setup.
Change "Select Active Video" to PCI and press F10 to save settings and exit.
Boot, if boot fails enter safe mode.
Enter Control Panel and Disable all Intel video drivers.
(if machine still wont boot then update ATI drivers from cd)
Boot machine, it should now login with your new card all working.

Nice post, but if a common man will give it a try he will definitely get confuse while performinf this stuff. So, it would be beneficial to users if you include pictures into it.
