Topic: downgrading a Toshiba A205-S5000 to XP

I am considering downgrading my new laptop to XP.  I tried and it says no hard drive of course.  i've read nlite tutorials but they are suggesting i am only able to slipstream inf's .  I was wondering if there is a way to know what all inf's i will need?  Thanks in advance for your help.

What do you mean by "what all inf's"?

If you know the chipset of your laptop, you can then DL the proper chipset/mass storage driver from the manufacturer's webpage and slipstream the INFs included in that one.

OR you could use our DPMS and have virtually all INFs provided already.
I just don't think they work well with nLite as the txtsetup.oem files have been stripped, but they do work if you use BASE after nLite (read our guides/tuts!).
