Toshiba satellite A205-S4707 MODEL psaf0u

Hello! i have an issue with my Toshiba laptop. I had a friend format the OS so i could have winxp on it instead of vista which i hate. The problem that i have now is i cant find any drivers that are compatable with windows xp. Other then throwing vista back on the laptop what are my options? I know that there is still a small partition on the HD that looks like it is probably the Toshiba ghost image or something. Anyway please help me!! Drivers at Toshiba's Website are just for Vista not for XP.

How to fix TBX Error on Toshiba Satellite a205-s4707

Take out battery from it, and re-insert it after 15 minutes or so. This must make it a hard reset. If it too doesn't help you, make sure there is a software corruption has been occurred. Re-install the O/S is the only solution. Electro help

On my Toshiba Satellite a205-s4707 dvd player not working

Allright this one can be tricky so we need to isolate the problem between software and hardware.

First, get into the bios and see it's being detected.

If not then turn off the computer and unscrew the drive from the laptop, MAJORITY of laptops only need to have one screw unscrewed to release the drive. If yours doesn't then you'll have to do a little more work, let's just assume you have the majority for now.

Next, pull the drive out, feel free to give the back connector a quick puff of air, now carefully place the drive back into the laptop so that it's nice and tight.

Check to see if that solves your problem.

If not we'll try something else.
