    Hello, I have a Satellite L40 with Vista. Ive got a copy of XP to install on it as some of my software doesnt run on Vista.

    Ive been looking about for the drivers & think I have found most of the ones that support XP for this laptop. Does anyone have any tips or things I should know before I start this installation?

    I read somewhere that the sata drivers need to be installed while Windows is installing, to enable the HD to be read at all. Can anyone confirm this?

    Any tips greatly appreciated.
    Thanks :)
