Driver problems after reformat

kittysacattack · 01-17-2008, 09:23 AM

I want to reformat my toshiba satellite m115-s1061 to increase the startup speed by removing all the toshiba garbage. Does anyone know if windows xp pro will have the mouse and wireless internet drivers for this model, or will i have to acquire them from Toshiba website.

Mouse yeah most probably, will be the generic pad drivers. But will work till you can get the Toshiba ones from the net. The wifi drivers on the other hand probably wont be. So while your computer is fully functioning I suggest you head over to the Toshiba site. Download as many drivers as you can for that model (Audio, ethernet, wifi, display, etc...) then back up on to a CD ready for the fresh install of the OS.
