Hello,

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-543 laptop running Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I would like to know where I can find the drivers for my computer to download? (Toshiba support can't help me because my computer is too old and no longer in their database).
Or how can I back up my current drivers so that I can restore them after resetting the computer? Thank you for your responses.

    Download and install --> 7Zip

    Download this driver --> Ethernet
    and put it in your documents.

    Right-click on --> sp33939.exe
    Choose --> 7Zip
    Choose --> extract to sp33939

    Go to Device Manager.
    Right-click on the device
    Update driver
    No, not this time, next
    Install from a list or specified location, next
    Include this location in the search
    Browse
    Go to your documents
    Select the extracted driver folder --> sp33939
    Next, etc...
    Restart.

    Alright, thank you, and what’s next? Once I’ve downloaded everything, I’ll put it all on an external hard drive. I’ll restore my computer to its original state and then just plug in the external hard drive?
    Will my computer recognize the external hard drive?
    Thank you for your answers.

      Yes, that's right, and your computer will recognize your hard drive.

    Hello,
    The drivers are available on the Toshiba website, just go and get them!
    Under the laptop, a label, copy and paste here the references starting with PSA??
    Example:
    PSAA8, PSAAR, PSAA2, etc......
    Regards.

    Hello,

    Okay, thanks, I will look for it. Otherwise, once I have my drivers on my external hard drive and my Windows XP Service Pack 3 Pro CD, what do I do to restore the computer to its original state? Do I need to:
    - Go to Start -> My Computer -> Right-click on (C:) -> Format
    or
    - Run the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Pro installation CD?
    or
    - something else...

    Thank you for your answers.

    Go into the BIOS
    Advanced
    Boot menu
    Boot sequence
    Set the CD drive as first boot
    Insert the Windows CD into the drive
    Press F10 or exit with save
    Restart the PC.

    Ah yes, that's it! I was told about a boot control and I don't remember what else, a special mode. By the way, where is the BIOS on my Toshiba laptop? :(
    Thank you

      Okay thanks, I just finished downloading the drivers and BIOS from the Toshiba website. They are compressed folders in WinRAR, should I leave them as they are and put them on my external hard drive or should I decompress them first?
      Thanks!

      Why an external hard drive!
      It is on the PC that all this should be installed and not elsewhere!
      In order to install the drivers, the compressed files need to be "unzipped."

      I put them on my external hard drive because I’m going to reset my computer to its original state and I would lose everything, that’s why I put the Drivers and BIOS on an external hard drive so I can install them after restoring the computer.

      Okay, in that case you place them as you download them to your external drive, you will decompress them during the installation afterward.
      If you have the recovery partition of the PC to factory settings, why not use it? It will restore the PC to its original state, drivers and everything else!

    Hi, I managed to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 Pro and some drivers, but not all! I couldn't install the driver that allows me to go online via local network, but I was successful with the Wi-Fi driver. If someone could help me :) Thank you very much!

    Hello,

    I tried, but nothing changes; I still have the "?" next to "Ethernet Controller" in Device Manager. What can I do? Thank you for your responses.

    PS: After rechecking, my computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-991 and not 543.

    For A100-991, install this one --> Ethernet

    If it still doesn't work:
    Right-click on the device
    Properties
    Details tab
    Provide the hardware ID number.

    To find the ID number, look --> here <--

    I tried with the "Ethernet" that you just gave me, and I still couldn't get it to work because I have this page that appears: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/ethernet3.php (I click on "YES" but nothing happens).

    For the hardware ID numbers, I have all of this:

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1092&SUBSYS_FF101179&REV_02
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1092&SUBSYS_FF101179
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1092&CC_020000
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1092&CC_0200

    Thank you for your help..
