Do i need (s)ata drivers for toshiba satellite u400? or i can install xp without a problem?

It is probably a driver issue. First check the device manager, from the Control Panel. A red triangle with an X or a yellow triangle with an exclamation point indicate that the issue is with the driver.

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp?nav=Download will let you search for your model and download the XP sound driver.

The specific driver may be: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2043975&rpn=PSU41U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768667# (using the Satellite Pro U400-S1001V above)

I hope this helps.

This is a missing driver issue
If your using Win. XP or Vista o/s
Download a free program called Drivermax and follow its directions, it can search all of your systems hardware and allow you to choose to download a missing driver or update those existing.
Note: I am not a spokesperson for Drivermax, it is just a program that I have had success with in the past.
Good luck...

Yes you can downgrade it to windows xp. go to toshiba website www.toshiba.com and from there you can download the drivers for Windows XP. befor installing Windows XP please download the Network driver and save it on a CD or any other driver. Then install Windows XP. Install the network drivers, connect to the internet and install the other drivers required.

Thanks
