w2k drivers for VAIO PCG-K215S

mandrei — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 22:15:23 GMT

Hello,

I have just acquired (in France) a VAIO PCG-K215S with XP pre-installed.

I was hoping to be able to install a w2k on another partiton and have a XP & w2k dual boot (I have MsDev on w2k) , but going on the sony.fr site there are only XP drivers and on the US site this model is not known.

Anybody knows if there's any way to get the w2k compatible drivers and install w2k?

Regards,
-Mihnea

I don't think that model can take Windows 2000.
Is there no update for MSDev?

Try Windows 98SE drivers - they are based on a similar kernel (NTKern) technology.

Failing that - contact all of the manufacturers of your hardware for Windows 2000 (W2K) drivers via the internet - it is a major platform so many vendors will still support W2K.

Use this - its Everest Home Edition which will help you identify the make, website and vital hardware of your VAIO.

Failing that i'm out of ideas...:smileysad:

Good Luck - it won't be easy.
