    Has anyone with the R500 tried W7? I have two problems:

    1) One device in device manager remains unfound, "TOS602A".
    2) My Mogo BT PCMCIA Mouse doesn't work.

    Any ideas?

    I've just looked through the XP installation on my R500.

    There's a "Toshiba HDD Protection - Shock Sensor Driver" under System Devices. Do you have this?

    I am using the R600 and Windows 7. If you look up on Toshiba's site they do have some beta Windows 7 drivers for a lot of things. I assume you were smart enough to look there first, right?

    I have a few issues which are non-Toshiba related (i.e. installing VMware took out my transflective screen button).
