Xp to Vista

Subject: Xp to Vista Fri Jun 20, 2008 2:03 pm

Hey I have a toshiba satellite laptop with Window Vista and decided to install Xp, but when i did i was unable to retain a few drivers including the drivers for my graphics card. I've spent hours checking online for those drivers and even downloaded a driver pack off torrentz. I was able to get back a few drivers but still was unable to get for my card. Also seeing that my graphics card is the Ati Radeon Express 200M, I went on the website to get the Catalyst software suite but it couldn't be installed due to some controllers that were missing, so i decided to reinstall vista. Can anyone tell me where i can go to get those drivers?

ohhh my friend your are in luck indeed I have a toshiba and went thru the very same deal, ok since i dont really remember were i got it from coz i looked en several places all i can say is that send me a pm with your email address and i'll gladly send them to you. Notice that this are custom made drivers although they work great on my laptop so far, i can not be held responsibe for any error, misshap, blown hardware, dead puppy u could find along the way of installing this drivers...

on a side note: SCREW VISTA!!!

Latest update; this fragment was substracted from: http://www.nodans.com/index.cfm/2007/11/9/XP-Drivers-for-Toshiba-A215--S7428

Recently I removed Windows Vista and installed Windows XP on the Toshiba A215-S7428. The Windows XP installation is complete and functioning properly. Due to the driver incompatibilities, this process was much more annoying than I thought it ever could be.

To get this to work, you have to pretty much forget the Toshiba site. It is mostly unhelpful and will send you over the edge. Instead, one must dig down deep into the operating system. One must manually edit driver inf files. One must deal with trying to find a driver for "Unknown System Device".

Fortunately, some unnamed kind soul has done all the hard work for you. I have been asked by unnamed kind soul to say the following:

You could experience a severe drought
All the beer in your refrigerator could disappear
A puppy could die
