I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 that was dropped while running and the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive and used the System Recovery discs that Toshiba sent me to restore the laptop to an out-of-the-box condition. Everything seems to be fine, except that the drivers for the wireless adapter are not installing correctly. Vista only sees it as an "Unknown Device" under "Other Devices" in the Device Manager. I tried installing the driver manually from the Toshiba web site, but it wouldn't take it; I tried letting Vista look on the Internet itself, through a LAN connection, to try and locate the drive but it reported that it couldn't find a driver...
Toshiba is telling me that the laptop has to be factory serviced for a defective wireless card, but I have trouble believing that since this same technician also told me that unless I updated DMRI, DRMI, DMI or something like that on the hard drive, then it "wouldn't accept all of the information written to it." I've been doing computers for twenty-five years and, unless I am missing something, I have never heard of such a thing!
Is there anything else that I am missing or that anyone knows that I am doing wrong? I already got paid for replacing the hard drive and restoring the system, so I am having to do this for free. I really need some help here. Thanks....
