One option...download the drives from another source, copy to an external floppy drive to feed it at the F6 prompt

Another option...build a slipstreamed install CD that has the driver pre-loaded

Another option...flip the ATA cointroller mode to non-RAID non AHCI mode..install XP..download/install the SATA drivers, edit the registry to change Windows to AHCI mode...reboot, enter BIOS, flip SATA controller to AHCI mode.

The Toshiba website would be a good place to start.

The raid ones.... I would only bother with those ones unless your selling the custom install disk to the customer after for cost of labour.
