The basic story is:

My grandmother (wonderful things aren't they?) bought me a lappy about a  week ago and it arrived yesterday. Being new it came with Vista and being the fair person I am I gave it a try. I would only get rid of if if I had more than 15 problems within an hour. I had 37. (Incompatible hardware/software, having to use Help and Support to find out how to do something that was easy in XP, etc...)

The laptop is a Toshiba A300-1BZ with a Core2Duo T8100, 3GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, Intel 965 Mobile Chipset...

Anyways, I've since put XP on the thing and all is working fine, except for one thing. When I was installing I had to put the SATA controller into compatability mode before the XP installer would see it. After I installed I put the controller back into AHCI mode and XP BSOD'd on booting. So I put it back into Compatability mode realising I'd forgotten to install the driver. Thing is though, I've had a look on the Intel Website (965 mobile chipset with ICH8) and all the different drivers say that "Your computer does not meet the minimum requirements" when I go to install them. Could anyone point me towards a compatible driver? It all works in compatability mode but that big yellow question mark in Device Manager is pissing me off...
