First, the model is an "S6825"...not a '5'.
No worries.
Secondly, before he hoses his Vista install, have him go here (or on another computer): http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/...1210211623@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccceadeeddifhelcgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ModelDLOS=Windows+XP+SP2%7C838443&ModelDLCat=null&BV_SessionID=@@@@0225783835.1210211623@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccceadeeddifhelcgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ListType=Model&ct=DL&moid=1998602&rpn=PSAG0U&OrderBy=D&PublicStartIndex=0&PrivateStartIndex=0&PublicCutOff=&PrivateCutOff=&AddOldPublicItems=false&AddOldPrivateItems=undefined&all_docs=false&x=38&y=7
...and download every driver there (should be all XP drivers), put everything on a USB drive, CD, whatever...then have him reinstall XP (if he has it already, if not...then he may be able to contact Toshiba for a disc, or will have to purchase one). Once he is back into Windows XP...have him go to the disc that has all of his drivers on (ignoring any prompts XP will pop up saying it has 'found a new device') and install them one by one...restart, and he's good.
