Hi everybody!

I have a big problem. I bought this laptop Vaio VGN-AR51SU. It came with
VISTA. And I want to install XP on it now because of too much
bluescreens and too much programs i couldn't install.

After a lot of research i managed to slipstream the SATA/RAID-driver
in my XP-setup disk so I managed to install XP. Now i still need everything
to work. The wireless and the videodrivers are OK but i can't find the
right driver for the sound.
Then there's also the Bluetooth device, the Ethernet controller,...
Also i would like the buttons on my laptop like the "eject" for the
disk-tray to work. Which driver is this? I don't even know what to install
to make this work.

Please can somebody help me to get it right?

Here is my scan of my hardware with Everest Ultimate Edition.
How is it possible i got 2 audio-devices?
Realtek & Sigmatel???

what a shame that many people are buying Vista-based laptops and later on found out that they couldn't use it.

After a lot of research i managed to slipstream the SATA/RAID-driver
in my XP-setup disk so I managed to install XP. Now i still need everything
to work...

Can you please tell me what driver you did have used for that because I'm also looking for the correct driver..

I hate the fact that it just doesn't work and I do understand why it doesn't work but still I don't like it at all..

I already did used some sata/raid drivers from various sources (intel, sony, driverpacks,...) but I keep getting the message that setup can't find any local hard drives.. I do use the F6 methode to load the drivers I tried..

Is it nessesary to slipstream the setup disk? Because now I just use a external usb floppy drive..

Thanks
