    Hello everyone.
    I've recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A305D laptop computer that comes with Windows Vista installed on it. The computer is really good but I don't like the operational system. I think that if I could install the Windows XP would run much faster.
    I tried to contact Toshiba tech support but they said that they wont put the drivers for XP for download and basically I'll have to deal with this crappy operational system.
    So here I am hopping someone have had the same problem I have and could post the necessary drivers for download.
    I asked them if they have some kind of deal with Microsoft, because they make it impossible for regular guys like me to change operational system. Of course they didn't comment on that.
    I also was thinking on trying the Linux operational system. Is that even possible on this laptop?
    Thank you very much for your time.
