a215-s7427 Vista to XP - Dual Boot - Drivers

Thread Starter 
Love my laptop but need to dual boot it for work purposes. I have collected a few drivers here and there like the ATI video, realtek wired and wireless drivers, but I assume I'll need a dozen others.

If anyone has a list of drivers I should download, please post those here. I can even host a driver package for this laptop if so desired.

I'll post whatever I find as I find it.

Thanks to all in advance.

So far I have found the: video, sound, modem, wired network

Microsoft Update found the wireless adapter for me, but I still have 3 items that I cannot identify. I'll post a pack up here once it's done.

Also, just about every driver install has been manual - meaning "I have a disk" option for updating the driver.

Keep you posted.

You can download all of the drivers here - I will move this to rapid share or something similar - soon.

Includes all the essentials and even the card reader drivers. Sorry - no FN key driver. Only one I could not find.

When installing the wireless driver - run it - let it finish, reboot. If it still did not find your card - run windows update and it will now detect it and install the correct driver. Worked for me.

Video driver - you have to use the "Have disk" method. Works fine if you select the X1200 from the list.

Enjoy
I now have a nice dual booting Toshiba - Vista and XP.

Amendment to this file I uploaded to rapidshare.

Use the Ricoh Card Reader driver that came on your restore disc #1 - it has ALL of the drivers (not just 2 out of 3) - so you'll no longer have that last remaining "Base System Device".

There - 100% working set of XP drivers for your Toshiba. Enjoy - I know I am.

Noone used this? Come on now... lol - hope someone is getting some use out of the driver set. I've handed it off to several folks in person (since I highly recommended the laptop to friends while on sale at Fry's for 599.00). Still running strong for me on the dual boot system. All my computers are Windows Vista now - so I keep the dual boot on this one to use my Plextor Convert X which does not work with Vista. Someday Plextor will catch up.

Enjoy the drivers!

Rapidshare is garbage, I can't download anything from that site, even with a premium account. This is worthless.

You have an A215 ... the drivers mentioned should work for every sub-model.

cheers ...
