XP drivers needed for Dynabook E8/520CDE (Japanese model)

Hi guys,

My friend has a Dynabook E8/520CDE with Japanese Windows XP Sp2 Home installed and her OS is all messed up.
I was thinking about installing her XP SP3 Pro but I wonder where I could get the Toshiba drivers (in Japanese), since she doesn't have the cd that came with the laptop.
I checked Toshiba's Japanese website, I found some drivers but not all of them.
Could someone please help me out? Or at least, can someone tell me how to restore her XP without the restore cds?
Thanks!!

. list out the devices that are missing driver
. share with us the full specs and all, you might be the only one that has access to that particular model
. if you are able to access the japanses site and understand the description, maybe there are way to restore the comp with the recovery partition (if available) without the need of restore cds

cheers ...

I found the dvd drive driver, the "configfree" utility, the display driver, the "hot key" utility and the "easy button" utility but I'm missing the sd card reader driver. I wonder if I could use a generic driver if I can find out the model of that card reader.
There's one download that I can't translate and it's "ぱらちゃん のアップデートについて"
I will try to install Everest on her laptop to list the full specs.
I didn't find any info about a hidden recovery partition, I need to check that out with Partition Magic.
Thanks for the help.
