My uncle bought a Toshiba L305D-S5900 from Walmart. a few weeks later he wanted to run some GPS software on it and it crashed his Vista machine. So I get a call, "Can you Fix it"? So I start the task of loading Windows XP Pro. I managed to find all the drivers and am going to share them with anyone else who needs them.
The Toshiba Windows XP drivers are from a Satellite Pro model L300D-EZ1001V. It has the same AMD processor and chipset. The modem is a Toshiba Software modem so the Modem will not be in the Sysem/harware directory until the software is installed. The Biggest problem I had was with the Antheros Wireless card. I finally found the drivers Here: http/www.atheros.cz/ I downloaded the AR5006EX and it finally worked. Non of the Toshiba drivers did. The SM Buss driver is included with the ATI Graphics driver from the Toshiba L300D-EZ1001V. Everything on my project works flawlessly. It took me a long time to get it right! I hope this helps some poor soul out there that has the same problem I did. I am no fan of Windows Vista..
Good Luck.
I edited the Satelite Pro Model from L300D-EZ2101V to L300D-EZ1001V. Sorry for the mistake.
