    Hey guys,
    I thought Toshiba laptops were great until a friend asked me to upgrade his laptop from vista to Windows XP. Now Im stuck! THANKS TOSHIBA B_TCHES!!
    I have a A200 PSAF0A and cannot find the drivers for:
    Mass Storage controller
    Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus
    Video Drivers
    It would be much appreciated if someone could help me out with these drivers if there are any that is?

    I use to import heaps of Toshis from Japan put English windows on them and load all the drivers, then change the jappo keyboards. I found the European Toshiba website the most comprehensive for drivers but mind you your lappy is probably a Filipino import being an Aussie model.

    (And so ppl arnt the wiser!!)
    FYI
    TOSHIBA A-holes ARE NOT supporting Windows XP drivers for laptops that didn't come out with XP.. That is with a lot of the newer laptops that come pre-installed with Vista that you would like to revert it back to windows xp. So it's looking bad for XP enthusiasts. So xp is getting the flick.. LOVE Toshiba!
    Which is quiet rude if you as me. (but don't ask coz Im pissed!) So what do you do? Buy a different brand of coz.. for now

    Same with HP, you need to search for older models with the same hardware and try and do your best. Once you get close you can use one of the Driver Genius or Driver Magic type apps to get the latest versions of drivers... although it isn't foolproof. See post 8 of for help

    Default Collection of XP drivers for A200

    I did a lot of digging around and came up with at least most of the drivers you'll need if you have the european model of the A200. for the following:

    LAN
    Realtek Audio XP
    Softmodem
    SD Utilities
    Wireless card driver
    Bluetooth (if applicable)
    Intel Chipset
    Some helpful links on other drivers and download locations

    Hope this helps. You'll need to unzip the archive.

    Hi guys Thanks for all your help. I haven't replied since coz I told them to stick with vista. Less hassles and time was of the essence.
    They like vista now. It was a bit slower but the bells and whistles paid off! It was a matter of adjusting which I guess was the biggest problem.

    You are talking about the cheap mum's and dad's harvey norman models.

    I can get XP dual install on ANY Tecra, Portege model.

    You get what you pay for.

    You pay through the arse for vista, it is a real battle to purchase a pc from harvey norman now without the vista curse.
    You can not purchase one without an operating system from there either( tried to different shops, funny times).

    I notice in the latest dell catalog that XP is available via Vista downgrade rights( bottom of all system specs) I wonder does this mean if you own Vista you can run any XP you want legally??

    Vista CD's are good, for drink coasters or for the kids to play with.
    What happens if I press alt + F4?
