    Going to wipe my dad's laptop and reinstall xp, but I don't want to have to try and track down all the drivers. Is there a place online that I can get them all at once? I found a site through Google that offered to sell me ALL the drivers for ALL the Satellites for 17.99 plus shipping, but I don't really want to do that.

    thanks!

    There's also Driver Guide. It's not perfect (I have encountered broken/dead links) and they do make you register, but it's free and it came in handy for me when I was looking for a driver for an old DVD drive recently.

    17.99??? I wouldn't pay anyone for drivers you can find for free. You might be better off getting the drivers from the manufacturers, often they more stable than what Toshiba may offer.

    Sook,

    As Anubis said, I have no idea why anyone would pay for drivers that the manufacturers provide freely. Since this is a Toshiba notebook, just go to the Toshiba site and download them there. Or if you want to search a bit (since you're already searching sites that provide the drivers), you can get some drivers from the manufacturers of each part. Chipset & WLAN drivers can be d/l'd from Intel, if it's an Intel card, video drivers from the video card manufacturer. You might even be able to get modem & sound drivers as well, but I usually get them from the manufacturer. Everything else you might need can be d/l'd from the manufacturer.

    I did a quick search for you on Toshiba.com's support site. Only took 15 seconds to locate all drivers for your exact unit. Below is the link.

    Hopefully this link works, but even if it doesn't, you can goto the Toshiba.com site, goto Product Support, scroll down to Computer Systems & Digital Products, click on Downloads, select your model & click go, click Downloads and you're done. All the drivers for the Satellite 1115-s103.

    I'm sure you did go to this site and look for the drivers right? If not, that should have been your first step.
