Re: Vista downgrade to Windows XP--> HELP

if you dont have the correct driver , you can disable the SATA Mode in the BIOS , and the XP will find the HDD as a normal hardrive and you can proceeds with the instalations.

Re: Vista downgrade to Windows XP--> HELP

Ohzhan,

 

I did try your idea at the start and it did not work. It's apperent that if you do have a the correct driver on floppy you need to buy Tosibas USB floppy, not just any USB floppy will work.

 

What I did was to Slipstream the Matrix Storage driver in the CD with nLite..great little app.

 

To let everyone know the Toshiba A355-S6925 was delivered this morning with Windows XP PRO, all drivers working and no problems, and they said it could not be done...bull..where there is a way there is a will.
