    Hi all,

    Im trying to downgrade my a205-s7466 to XP, but the worst part is that i formatted the drive and i got no recvery disc, (they say that they dont provide one and i shold have made on myself) so now im stuck with a worthless peice of something that could be used as a computer,

    As everyone knows that XP does not support SATA, so i was trying as hard as i can to find the driver for the HDD with no luck,

    has anyone had this issue before, or does anyone have a solution for it?

    I would really appriciate your help, and yes i did a search on this forum, and I spoke to Toshiba Tech Support, but they say that they dont have any XP drivers for this model, and i looked all over the Toshiba website for drivers and didnt find anything.

    Can Anyone help me out here??

    The HDD is a 200 GB toshiba mk2035gss-(s1)
