• How can I install Win XP on Satellite U300-150 PSU30e

  How can I install win xp on U300-150 / model: PSU30e

  I try to start from the CD Win XP SP2, but don't can't detect any HARD disk.

  How can I do?

  There is no option in the bios to support SATA or IDE

  Please help me

  Hey Buddy

  You won't find any IDE or SATA settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver that is needed to install the XP on this laptop.

  Intel Matrix Storage Manager is the key!
  The storage manager should be included in the Windows XP operating system during the installation process using the F6 key.
  On the other hand, you could include the Storage Manager using the free app called nLite.

  Looking for a little to this forum. There are enough discussions and comments about this theme.

• Win XP on Satellite A660-1

  Hello.

  My question is:
  How can I install Win XP on my laptop?
  I'm looking for drivers on my Satellite A660-1 for Win XP, but I can't find anything :(

  PLS, help.

  Hello Kröt

  Toshiba offers drivers for operating systems that are supported only. We have the year 2011 and new notebooks are designed for new standards, so it's time to look forward and use the latest technology.
  I assume that the percentage of users of Windows XP Home edition on the new models of laptops is so low that there is no need of support for Windows XP Home edition.

  If you want to use WXP why you n t use some old laptop model? I mean spending a lot of money for the most recent material and you want to then go back and use the old operating system, there is no sense to me.

  You can try to find some googling autour drivers but I'm pretty sure you will never be able to have 100% well configured OS. What you can try to use VMvare and virtual OS.

• Can I install Win XP on a Satellite A350 & where to find the drivers?

  Hello!

  I just bought a Satellite A350 and the Adobe Master Collection does not correctly install on Windows Vista, I would like to install Windows XP on the laptop.
  Allas, the drivers on this site for the A350 are only for Vista? Can not I install XP on it at all, and if I can, where can I find the necessary drivers?

  Thanks for the help!

  Gascoigne

  Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.
  But for Win XP is not available for this series of laptop and in this case, you will need to search the drivers of your own hands.

  Many laptop series uses the same devices and so the drivers should work also.
  I would recommend some other series laptop like Satellite A300 or another and try the XP drivers released for these models.

  What BIOS settings you changed exactly?
  Usually, you will need to disable secure boot and have spend the the CSM UEFI boot mode.

  By the way: have you used the Microsoft original own installation CD to install the system, or have you used a backup for the installation of the OS image?

• Upgrade Win 8 to Satellite A660 - 18 PSAW3E Wizard

  I have a Satellite A660-18, part No. PSAW3E which, according to the instructions on the site of Toshiba UK, I've upgraded to Windows 8.

  Windows 8 tells me that I need to re-installToshiba Disc Creator and according to the website of UK from Toshiba, that I should be able to do this, (and whatever it takes), thanks to the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard.

  So I follow the link on the site of the United Kingdom, and my Satellite A660-18 is not listed. Support page which I am bound to the United States seems to be only for drivers and does not in any case seem to list the upgrade wizard.

  I tried a search on the US site and found and installed the upgrade wizard, but when I ran I got a message "this upgrade wizard does not support your region."

  Can someone help me with this?

  I have updated from other computers, (plu sort of it), without any problem whatsoever. but this one has pulling me my hair out.

  Thanks in advance.

  Peter

  Hi mate,

  The upgrade of Windows 8 Wizard is available only for supported laptops Windows 8 models.

  Your laptop does not seem to be earning 8 supported because it does not appear on this page from Toshiba:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

  Plus I found a Toshiba AU on the driver Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3E UE page

  So download this message because you are using the wizard, which is not released from this unit.

• I want to install Win XP on Satellite A305-S6905

  Hello.

  I want to downgrade my Vista to XP because of problems and slow down my PC...
  For example I can't download updates antivirus, games etc...

  I read in the forum that I need some kind of sata drivers and those I can do myself, but someone can help me with other drivers because I use this laptop for an hour and I know not what drivers there need.

  If someone could give me links to the necessary software, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that you couldn't find the right drivers XP because you didn t find on the right-hand page.
  Like you probably n t know that this series of laptop (Satellite A305) belongs to Toshiba from US and you have to find good drivers on Toshiba U.S. page!
  http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/home.to

  In addition, if you want to install Win XP on laptop thin, you will need to install the SATA drivers first.
  The SATA drivers are on Intel Storage Manager part which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page as well.

  But if you don t want to install SATA drivers, there is another possibility to install the XP.
  Just access the BIOS and set the compatible SATA to AHCI mode.

  That s it.

• Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C50-A-1JT

  Hello

  You just buy new C50-A-1JT which came with an installation of Linux Mint, I won't, because it's for my mother in law who barely knows windows, and even less to ask him to learn to use Linux.

  I tried to make a bootable USB key with win 7 installation (that I would do on a normal pc).
  The windows installer seems to load fine, but when I press Windows Installer, I get "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. »

  The problem is that my laptop did not contain driver disks, so I wonder what I can do to install Win 7 on it.

  Thank you
  Mark

  About this error message, see Microsoft Knowledge base article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2755139/

  This problem occurs for the following reasons:
  The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
  A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
  The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
  The DVD drive cannot read media.
  The ISO file is corrupted.

  Given that you don t use the installation disc but a USB flash memory stick, I suppose that the image on the USB flash memory stick file is corrupt or there is a problem with the support of USB flash memory

• Can I install Windows 7 on Satellite click Mini L9W - B and use the touch screen?

  Is it possible to install Win 7 32 bit on a satellite click and it will always work to use the screen in the form of tablets?
  I'll buy this one for my dental practice and the intraoral cam maintains that Win 7 32 bit.

  Are you sure that it will not work with Windows 7? Usually there are problems with the software XP and Windows 7/8, but if it works with Windows 7 there is a good chance that it will work with Windows 8. If the software is the issue that you may be able to run the program in compatibility mode Windows 7.
