Vaio Missing XP Drivers
Hi Guys,

Ive just downgraded my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ18E from vista to XP pro.

I dont have the roll-back CD so i dont have to drivers for it.

Does anyone know where i can download the correct drivers for it? ive tried the Vaio website but it only has the vista drivers.

Any help would be fantastic!

Thanks

Scott

Use SIW or Everest Ultimate, paste the results here and maybe we'll be able to help you...

Couldn't find the right ones on there unfortuntly!

use the SIW or Everest Ultimate tools to identify your hardware (manufacturer, model, version, etc.), then paste the results here, or link them to a text file of some sort... we'll see what we can do about finding the drivers for that particular hardware, since most of the notebook manufacturers don't state which devices they have installed their products (for example, in the specifications sheet it just states that the notebook has a 4-in-1 card reader, it doesn't state who manufactured it or the model of the product)... sorry, there is pretty much nothing we can do till we know that...

If you scout around the web you should be able to find two rather useful ISOs around (or at least one); a 100,000 driver disc and/or a 45,000 driver disc. I put them both together and made a 145,000 driver disc, through in a few more that weren't covered by universal drivers and now, I never go looking for drivers whenever I rebuild an XP machine. I strongly recommend it.
