WinXP - Downgrade Vaio to XP
Ok so today I bought a Sony Vaio VGN-NR385E and I want to downgrade to Windows XP, when I put the cd in it would not detect the hard drive so I started doing a little more research and found that I need sata drivers.

I can't seem to find where to find the Sata drivers and I also don't have a floppy drive so don't know where to put them when I have them

any help would be greatly appreciated

USB floppy drive will work and they are pretty cheap. Or use nLite to slipstream the raid drivers onto an XP cd....
