Has anybody upgraded TR3A to XP Pro successfully with all the Buttons and Applications working again?

If yes, whats the secret?

I have seen people crying out for Drivers…

Regards

I had no trouble doing it with the recovery DVD and the drivers I downloaded from the Sony site.

The only tricky thing was getting the camera working afterwards.

I did a clean install of Win XP Pro, then installed all the Sony drivers I had downloaded.  Then I did installs for the Hotkey Utility and the Camera from the DVD.  That took some trial&error; to get them installed in the right order.  There may be someone here who can help with that part.

Then I had to do this fix to get the camera working:

1) Go to device manager (under system in the control panel)
2) At device manager, look under USB section.  You should see 4 USB Root Hub.
3) Open up the 3rd one, under the second tab you should see Sony Communication VC10 as one of the entry in the hub.  If you can’t see that, you may want to choose one of the other 4 root hub.
4) When you find the right root hub, go to the 4th tab and uncheck “allow power panel to shut down device”.
5) Hit OK or Apply.
6) Restart your computer.

Hi
where do I download the Drivers of TR3A?
I dont find them anywhere :?

If you’re in the US, go to http://esupport.sony.com or in Europe to http://www.vaio-link.com .

Thanks!
I found http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-list.pl?template=EN&mdl=PCGTR3A

Do you think these Drivers/updates enough to get everything at work after I install XP Pro?

I used this guide…

http://www.hexleyinmotion.com/archives/2004/03/06/how-to-install-windows-xp-professional-on-sony-tr3a-with-everything-working/

And I can say everything works perfectly.  All you have to do is install the drivers manually, which is what that guide pretty much covers.

Yes I had a look at that Guide and also the modified version which Rahul has posted on this Board. If nothing works I am going to venture into it

But now the question is I found http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-list.pl?template=EN&mdl=PCGTR3A

Do you think these Drivers/updates enough to get everything at work after I install XP Pro?

My TR3A is FULLY functional under XP Pro SP2 with all drivers, hot keys, FN key combos, camera, Memory Stick, everything.

You mean using the Drivers listed at http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-list.pl?template=EN&mdl=PCGTR3A  ??

If yes, then we require no complex manual installation !!

Please confirm

Is it me or are some of the TR3A updates refusing to download?

EDIT: Nevermind, Sony fixed up the FTP servers.

Okay

I got it
Its best to download the Drivers and Aplications from that esupport Link and cleaninstall XP Pro -> install these Drivers and Application and the system should work all fine with
- Hotkeys, FN Combos
- Video, Audia, Wifi, Lan, Modem
- Camera
