[Ham-Computers] Toshiba Laptop and XP pro

[Fr. johnny]

Yes please - How does one get into the BIOS on Toshiba I think Vista is 
a piece of junk after running it for 2 weeks now and I bet XP will run 
much faster as this dual core runs slower than my old 500 Mhz laptop 
with XP plus everything I do runs just fine with XP and not Vista - 
Appreciate the help 73 Johnny

I just reformatted and installed XP but you must go into bios and disable the native SATA mode. Wont make any difference on XP because only Vista uses the native mode.
