-   Hello, I'm using toshiba l300 and has preloaded vista home, when i downgrade to xp sp2, has an error during cd formatting, it says "no hard drive found". can you please help me. -   kingfishr122

-   actually tried to wipe clean to instal vista ultimate, same issue no hard disk was found. This seems to be acer releasing hardware but deliberately "pocketing" the drivers away from us.

Anyone with a solution?-   Guest

no there aren't any drivers, but the problem you will have is that the bios is updated to suit Vista and installing XP will cause problems with components in the notebook.

My advice is to keep Vista if you havent already uninstalled the operating system, but you will notice that your hard disk has two partitions, install XP on the other partition and have a dual boot notebook, if you have uninstalled then lend a friends copy of Vista and use your own instalation product key code on the underside of your notebook and re install.
