Since the 2000/ME days an upgrade of the OS means the installer for the newer version will delete the current Windows installation as it proceeeds. It doesn't overwrite existing files but wipes all existing Windows folders and files off of the drive unless the option is there for reverting to the older version later.
It takes a little more then simply selecting the right click update driver option with makes like Samsung. Generally those have a hidden partition on the drive where drivers and softwares are compressed in case the need for a system restore comes up. With the new OS finally upon us you would have to contact a local dealer to get a support link to download the Vista version of the necessary drivers. Updates for laptops will often be a bundle possibly with an installer.
