subigo were do you live, I need to send you british hookers in my thanks big_smile you rock dude!

im not too worried about the modem, not sure why this laptop even has one actualy lol.  The sd card reader I can live without aswell, Thanks though!

(in short I already started loading it with my software and junk and don't want to install yet AGAIN)

I very badly wanted to go Dell because they provide drivers all the way back to windows 95 for even their newest products.

Unfortunately, this laptop was $400 while the minimum that I could purchase a laptop from Dell for would be $500 + s/h + tax(very bad stats too.)


I hate being a soon to be college freshy thats tight on funds sometimes.  I hope that I edited the first post correctly.

Toshiba Satelite a205-s5000 XPsp2

First of all let me say YOU GUYS ROCK! I slipstreamed my xpsp2 install disk with all the drivers and I was immediatly able to get on the net with this toshiba laptop. I called toshiba and they officialy shut me down saying NO XP MUHAHAHA.

The only two drivers I am missing are,

Mass storage controller *this has to do with the sd card slot on the front of the laptop.
PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_803B&SUBSYS_FF021179&REV_00\4&3B3A03B5&0&22F0

Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus *the audio works just fine. However the Function key is not working correctly. This bafled me for the fn is usualy hardware and not software.
HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_11C1&DEV_1040&SUBSYS_11790001&REV_1002\4&6499669&0&0101
