Windows 7 64 bit is supported. Where Dave and I differ is I would not update the BIOS and run the risk of upsetting a working configuration.

You CAN do updates with another computer, but this will be fine as long as you disable it when you don't need it(like 99% or the time). BTW, don't do any Windows updates unless you REALLY need them(and NEVER leave Automatic updates ON).

Perhaps just run SP1 installer instead.

No. Install the drivers first, and avoid the 9.0.5 updater for now as it seems to have some issues.

I'm with Dave here, I would also give Pro Tools 9.0.5 a miss. Pro Tools 9.0.3 would be best IMO.

Depending on what video card manufacturer grab only the driver, no utilities.

Personally, I use to use Acronis, I find
Casper superior, faster, easier and cheaper.
