kevbaz Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Morning all We have purchased 20+ of these fab little notebooks, however they have come with xp home and a bunch of pre installed software but no driver or program cd's. We need to get these running xp pro without loosing any functionality. Fizzbook Spin | Zoostorm - Zoostorm Fizzbook Spin 8.9" the zoostorm website doesnt have any downloads listed for it and thus far havent replied to my emails. does anyone else have any of these or know where i can download the drivers and most importantly the software that auto rotates the screen? thanks Kev
plexer Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Can you not just hook up a usb cd drive and do an xp pro upgrade over the top of them? Ben
patty04 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 what about using driver grabber to get the drivers?
kevbaz Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah thats what im trying now, it wouldnt work yesterday for some reason but its going through now. We generally here always format the drives on new laptops and pcs and install a fresh copy of xp pro as they always come with piles of junk software that leaves you with a messy image if you just uninstall them. 9/10 it isnt a problem but with these theres no drivers in the entire universe for them, even with doing a mydrivers it still misses a couple off, plus the software to rotate the screen isnt available anywhere either thanks for the reply
plexer Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Have you tried contacting the brand owner CMS Computers - Computer Systems, Keyboards & Mice, Memory, Hard Drives, Modems, Monitors, Motherboards, Network ... ?? Ben
EduTech Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Just had 2 turn up, again with the same OS and me thinking that same thing as you! as we would normally just re-build the machine. I dont fancy loosing any of the software on the machines to be honest as it is quite handy.. Let me know if you find anything, also.. i have sent an email to http://www.thefizzbook.co.uk/contact.html them.
kevbaz Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 Will do am still trying to get it to upgrade to xp pro

MrSporty Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Anyone still have these handy, as per usual the manufacturers forget to keep the links active
MrSporty Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for the heads up wigwam, unfortunately it appears they only have the drivers for the NL2. Anyone still got the NL1 stuff ?
wigwam Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for the heads up wigwam, unfortunately it appears they only have the drivers for the NL2. Anyone still got the NL1 stuff ? call them they will send a cd for you
boomish Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Anyone still got the drivers for the NL1 model? the links no longer work and they want £63 per Fizzbook to send out a CD!
AMPC Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Any current links for the drivers? Also anyone done any upgrades ? Regards, Rich
steveg Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Any current links for the drivers? Also anyone done any upgrades ? Regards, Rich What are you planning to do with them? I don't think they'd even perform very well as thin clients now!
