Hello folks, I just have bought a Toshiba A305-S6839, and after installing the Windows XP Professional SP2, I have the following drivers issues:

- Graphics card: I've downloaded the ati_8-7_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_65993.exe and when I was installing it, a window appears with the following message: "Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit".
- SD/MMC card reader
- Sound driver (Realtek alc268 intel 82801hbm ich8m)

So, the question is: where can I find the proper drivers for this issues?

One more question: if I install Win XP SP3 with DriversPack integrated, can I solve some of these problems?

here is what i have found about the Toshiba A305-S6839 notebook:

1) graphic card drivers for WinXP 32 description:

Drivers Catalyst Mobility are certified WHQL Microsoft. They take care of the chipset Radeon: HD 3200, HD 3450, HD 3470 AND HD 3870 X2. Function MultiView takes care of Radeon X1K and of Radeon HD. MultiView supports OpenGL applications.

2) couldn't find anything about xp on this device, i searched for more than an hour, and still nothing, ecept that it's a "5-in-1 Media Bridge Adapter", as Toshiba likes to put it...

3) this is waht i found on your audio card driver, on another froum and for a different notebook, but it should work for yours too since the specs are the same:

Realtek ALC268 @ Intel 82801HBM ICH8M

link: ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/WDM_R190.exe

try these drivers and post again if you have any problems, sorry i couldnt help for the card reader, but there is nothing out there that would be considered as a WinXP driver for this card reader...

also might be a good idea to use some kind of hardware inspector, like Everest, or some other one, post what are your card readers specs and maby then find an apropriate driver based on those specs

here is a link for all the drivers you will need under XP, someone else has done the job for you, so i'll just paste the link :

Drop.io A215_S7428Drivers

download them and install them, here is what the package contains:

Included Drivers


* Agere 56k Modem Drivers (Toshiba Softmodem)
* AMD AGP Filter
* AMD DualCore Optimizer
* AMD Processor Driver (Turion64 X2)
* Realtek 8187B Wifi (need to be installed manually!)
* ATI Radeon X1200 Drivers (need to be installed manually!)
* ATI SB600 Drivers (Southbridge)
* ATI SM Bus Drivers
* Microsoft UUA HD Audio
* Realtek HD Audio Drivers
* Realtek PCIe Ethernet drivers (2 Versions, for A215 and A210 based notebooks)
* Ricoh Cardreader Drivers (memory stick, SD xD)
* ALPS Touchpad drivers (the ones with the "scrolling function")


don't loose them

edit: @ fluizp

not a bad idea for you to try the card reader driver from this package, it could work, they both have a "5-in-1 Media Bridge Adapter", as the "detailed" specifications of the Toshiba pdf file for both of the notebooks read...
