I tried looking for these on different sites, and I found a few but most don’t work.
If you could help me get more details on these drivers or suggest a site where I could get the driver I would greatly appriciate the help and if there is any other information that you may requier to help in the process I will be glad to provide.
It seems like I’m not the only one that is attempting this and it also seems like everyone os having a problem attaining drivers. I an attemting this in order not to void my warrent on this laptop but it seems that even if I opted to do so it would still be a problem getting the laptop to operate correctly without the drive. I guess I’m being forced to use Windos Vista wheather I like it or not. THANKS AGIAN
