  • Satellite P300-1GN - cannot install Windows XP SP3

    Hi all!

    I bought the PC laptop Toshiba P300-1GN for a few weeks. Windows Vista is bad for this computer, but Windows 7 works like a Charm. But Windows 7 is not compatible with my programmers tools.

    On the Toshiba site, I saw the drivers for Windows XP. Tried to install Windows XP, but I got the blue screen with error 0x07b. In the PowerQuest Partition Manager both hard drives have error partition #702 (something like that number) but under Windows Vista and 7, drives are works fine without any errors.

    What seems, that's the problem? Drivers SATA Windows XP or something else with hard drives?

    Needs a very fast before going to Toshiba service desk information.

    Thanx.

  • Cannot install Windows XP SP3

    On a HP w / AMD processor that has recently had a clean reinstall, I can't upgrade to Service Pack 3. Whenever I have try it does not start with the exception of Safe Mode. If I try Windows Update I get error 0X8007043C. To a Web page, it said that I needed Framework 2.0 (I have ver 1.1). I found it, but the installation failed. Later, I found how to install the 4.0 Framework. Who installed correctly, but when I manually installed Service Pack 3, yet once I couldn't start. Had to restore SP2 again, third time.

    Windows update no longer works if you do not have Windows XP SP3 installed, especially after a clean installation with a CD that has service pack 2 only. The installation CD most have xp sp2 so the best practice is to have XP SP3, copied to a USB drive before the reinstallation and as is the case with your system, it is advisable to have also the package upgrade for processors not intel record in thumb drive too. You're welcome and thank you for the comments.

    I have done a complete reinstallation of Windows XP Pro from the original disc and managed to update to SP2.  However, when I tried to upgrade to SP3, I got an error that "the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page.  I tried all the suggested fixes that I can find.

    During the last attempt, I discovered that several dll is missing.  Here's the msxml6.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wucltux.dll and c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll.  If they are critical, where can I find them, and how do I get support.

    In addition, mshtml.dll is available, but the DllRegisterServer could not find an entry point.  Is this critical?

    In any case, I still can I install Microsoft Update or download/install SP3.

    Hello

    I see that you have a problem in the installation of new Windows USB port. It seems that your HDD was not detected, right? It's because your laptop uses a SATA HDD.

    what you need to do are:

    1. download the driver AHCI SATA website of intel. (just google it)

    2. copy the files (size 700 KB for 6 files) into the new USB

    3. reboot and install your laptop with win 7 (dvd/usb)

    4. by the time win 7 installation reached the drive to install (none detected), click load drivers.

    5. now load your other USB SATA drivers.

    6. then will show all disks in your system.

    7. continue with the installation process.

    hope this helps.

    Hi Nnrmalata,

    1. you are trying to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7?

    2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    Boot from GPT is only supported for 64-bit of Windows 7 on UEFI-based systems.

    For more details, refer to this link:

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/gg463525.aspx

    If your computer does not support UEFI, back up your important data to an external drive and delete all partitions on hard drives and create a new partition.

    (a) start from the Windows 7 DVD

    (b) click on install now

    (c) in the configuration screen, click Custom (Advanced)

    (d) click on drive Options

    (e) select the partitions to format

    (f) click on Format - this will erase EVERYTHING on this partition

    (g) create a new partition, and then select a partition to install Windows on.

    (h) follow the on-screen instructions and install Windows.

    Note: Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

    You can check the link for reference:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799232 (WS.10) .aspx

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    If above did not help, please refer to the steps in this link.

    Note: Backup your important data to an external drive

  • I installed windows 7 and now my bluerayburner does even appear quite Similarly in Mgr. device!

    Hi, I installed windows 7 and now my Blu - ray drive does not even appear not at all, even in the device mgr. When I put it in a disk begins to spin and it stops, but it does not even acknowledge at all that there a burner. I know that there are many problems with windows 7 Blu-ray disc does not play, but I can't even get there. Is there a fix to windows again? I appreciate all help. Thank you, God bless you

    Hi Radlfly,

    I see that you have some problems with the burner blu - ray on Windows 7. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. What is the brand and model of the blu - ray player?

    3. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    4 is the issue confined to this hard drive?

    I want you to know that Blu - Ray is a patented technology, so need the codec appropriate to buy and this is why we cannot include it in our operating system.

    To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

  • Do I need to install Windows XP SP3 on Vista?

    I recently bought a laptop with Vista Home Basic.  Update Microsoft keeps asking me to install Windows XP SP3 on my computer.  I have to install the SP3 of XP on Vista?  If this is not the case, how can I turn off the darn request?
    Thank you.

    Hi Rkroberts,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    The answer to your question is no.

    You can choose to have windows stop offering you this update. Here's how:

    1.

    Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programsand then click Windows Update.

    2.

    In the left pane, click check for updates , and then, when Windows finds updates for your computer, click view available updates.

    3.

    Do right click the update you want to install, and then click hide update. The next time you check the updates, the update will not be automatically selected or installed.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need further assistance David O
