Possibly, but it would be a very involved process and there's no guarantee that the Vista drivers would work with Windows 7.

"can i have pre-installed win7 instead of pre-installed vista? "

No. Not unless you have Windows 7 preinstalled in the recovery partition, which is highly doubtful.

You can't just "extract" them.

You would have to build a disk out of the recovery partition and find the driver files themselves.

What's wrong with going to the mfg. website and just downloading the drivers?

Just make a recovery CD using HP's tools. Windows 7 is very similar to Vista. Most vista drivers will work on win7.
