Everything works perfect except for that.

When you delete the current partition it forces you to format the drive. So no, only one OS would be installed (XP).

The link is working fine. Make sure you click it, not copy & paste it.

Hi. I'm from Brazil, I'm in search of these drivers to instal ATI RADEON X1200.
I tried the solution above to this driver but I didin't obtain nothing.
Bye.

Belmont, thanks so much for these drivers. I finally got sick of Vista yesterday and used your driver pack to install XP onto my Toshiba. The only one that isn't working correctly is the ethernet driver (not Wi-Fi) but it's not a big deal.. I'm sure it won't take much to get it working. I haven't even used the ethernet port since I've gotten the laptop anyway. Ahhh, XP works so much better than God-forsaken Vista! Thanks again Belmont!

The download works fine. You must be using a shared IP that RapidShare doesn't like. I'd upload it somewhere else, but RS is the only place that gives me decent upload speeds.

benbox · 12-02-2007, 09:50 PM

oke.. i already download it,

thank you so much for your help

Ok I have done all of the tips here on getting the vid driver going and I can not get it to go. I keep getting a mesg. saying " Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or OS, Setup will now exit."

and when I go thought device manger I get there are no drivers for the selected hardware no matter what choice I use.

I am not dumb, but this is my first laptop, could some one help me here, I love this laptop but the drivers for this thing are a pain in the rear. Please help

EDIT::: I went back to Vista, it is all I can use till Toshiba puts out drivers for XP, I need the FN keys to work and well they will not work with out some XP driver being put out by them...

gpeters2 · 09-04-2007, 11:31 PM

I feel like I owe you something! I couldnt for the life of me get the pci devices going. The TI chip and the ati pci/isa bridge were driving me crazy!(PCI Device and Unknown Device)
Thanks a bunch!
Now to get Ubuntu running smoothly.

BelmontSlayer · 09-04-2007, 11:51 PM

No problem. It took me several hours to gather these drivers and donjski helped me out quite a bit too. Hopefully Toshiba will make some XP drivers now that they've been bought out by Acer.

saugen48 · 09-05-2007, 06:49 AM

now that they've been bought out by Acer.
I dont recall seeing anything like that. When did this happen????
