    Thanks to Centjie who posted a thread about Working XP on Sony VGN-TZ90 . I was able to take it from there and get the required drivers for Windows XP SP2 needed for the Sony Vaio VGN-C21GH.

    The drivers are for:

    Chipset
    Bluetooth
    NIC (network card)
    Wireless NIC
    Memory duo slot
    VGA
    Sound
    Modem

    Now Im not bothered with getting the function keys working. The only FN keys required are for the screen brightness, which don't bother me. I could get it done but I wont bother. There are no other FN keys except for the volume, which work using the FN key.

    Also all the other utlities such as LAN utility, battery utility etc etc I haven't bothered with either.

    If you do want them you will have to download and install them yourself. You need to go to HERE. That is an older model that came with Windows XP preinstalled. So the drivers are the same. When running the drivers it verifys your notebook model. So to work around this you need to refer to the universal extraction tool (found this thanks to forum member Centjie) You will need this to extract the installation files so you can bypass the model check.

    Once you have installed the universal extracton tool and you want to extract the files use the Extraction method "WUN Unpacker"

    Here are the drivers that I have uploaded to RapidShare in the quoted area

    So for I have had no troubles with any drivers. Bluetooth, Wireless etc etc all work perfectly.
