  1. Hi,

    I just got a new Toshiba U205-S5067 laptop, Vista preinstalled.

    I somehow managged to downgrade to XP, but I am missing two things:

    1 a battery installer, that is not part of the downloadable drivers on Toshiba's website.

    2 it does not recognize sound device, drivers available do not help.

    Please help!

    Maybe is there someone with a toshiba u200 or u205 laptop that has toshiba's XP instal disc?

    Thank you,

  2. Hi,

    I have just purchased a Toshiba u205-s5067 new laptop, with Vista home premium preinstalled on it.

    I need to have XP, so I would like to make a dual boot option. I managged to partition the drive, started to instal xp, but failed. Then I researched and figured out that it is the SATA drive that causes the problem. With the F6 option I managged to instal it. I had many error messages (battery, CD, ... etc drivers), but seemed to work, until

    the first reboot, when it dies and tries to reboot, but fails again.

    I can see, it is a common problem and now I will try to make an instal cd as advised in this forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mp;#entry356029

    But how could I get back into a working condition on the laptop? How do I instal the new xp cd? Is there a way to boot in the still existing vista so I could find out exactly what hardware is inside?

    All help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you,

    IZ
