I’ve Vista and would care about it to go XP but need directions on how to do it. Toshiba can't help me, they state they don't have anything compatible in XP to fix my laptop so I won't have Vista anymore.

Satellite A135- S4666

Answer:
ok first go to

www.notebookreview.com

that’s where i found all the drivers when i did this very same thing

i purchased a toshiba last summer i open it and there it was vista

sooooo i took my xp pro disk (must be a bootable xp pro) and put it in the cd rom or dvd and rebooted

when it say to Press Any key To Boot From CD do that

it will give you choices just format the darn thing and install xp

but first get the driver from either toshiba or that link i gave you

P.S. when the your laptop asks you again to press any key to boot from cd after the format DO NOT DO THIS it will start the whole process over again i did this 3 years ago lol
