Re: downgrade a notebook from Vista to XP

["Bob Crothers" <bob.crothers@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had the same thing happen with a Toshiba laptop. Except I was trying to
upgrade it from XP Home to XP Pro.  One of the drivers wouldnt work under XP
Pro and Toshiba said "tough luck" and would offer any assistance.

I've not bought a toshiba since and wont do so in the future.
