Cannot install Windows XP after the purchase of disk

I put the disk for Windows xp, but cannot be installed

You should really start a new thread on this question of yours.  I'll send a message to the moderator to separate this question from this old thread and create a new one for you.

In any case, if you have installed vista, xp will not be able to install automatically. It's because you try to downgrade your computer.

However, if the computer already had xp on the computer, and then you could upgrade to vista automatically.

You'd have to do is to format the hard disk in the first place, until xp can be reinstalled.

But there may be another problem for you at this time.

You see, if you have a computer that has been designed to use vista then xp is maybe not able to work on this computer.   You will have to go place of origin of the computer and see if your machine has hardware drivers that can be used by xp.  In others, you should check if there are drivers xp for your computer model.

If this is not the case, then it means that your computer cannot start xp, even if you reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of xp on it.

What is the brand and model of your computer?

  • ThinkPad R60 cannot install Windows XP After erasing the HARD drive using the lenovo diagnostic utility

    WinXP pro Setup cannot find that any installed HARD disk so cannot install windows. Unfortunately after many attempts to use rescue and recovery to restore the factory settings and for some reason constantly default... After leaving another utility popped up giving me the opportunity to erase the HARD drive and so I did... After fact as well and all I had was a blank screen, no windows more or no matter what utility to reinstall windows, then I used my winxp pro installation CD, but the program installation would continue not after a certain point by saying that the installation did not find any HARD disk installed. followed by "ensure that any disk HARD r turned on and correctly connected, and that no matter what material associated drive configured correctly, this may involve running a manufacturer provided diagnostic or Setup program. Clearly it took me by surprise. What was supposed to be a cut to white erase and reinstall now me baffled and angry. Formats the HDD of the solution? If so why didn't not the usefulness of lenovo do... If not, what is the problem? Someone help pls

    Welcome to the forum!

    Go into the BIOS (F1 at startup), set the "compatible" SATA mode (NO AHCI), then press F10 to save and exit, and you should be all set.

    Good luck.

  • Cannot install windows XP on the Satellite Pro A200-1N2

    Jin

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. I downgraded the bios to V5.30 but still cannot install windows xp and there is still no optin for SATA in the bios.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Did you install the SATA drivers first?
    You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

    You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

    You must perform the installation of an external USB FDD drive using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.

  • Cannot install Windows 8 on the replacement hard drive

    I got the replacement from Dell hard drive which he said would come with Windows 8 and pre-installed drivers. Well, I installed the hard drive and he said no. OS can be found. I didn't have a chance to make my own backup discs, but Dell sent a CD Windows 8 recovery media with the laptop and now with the replacement hard drive.

    When you try to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive, I get to the part where it tells me to choose a partition to install Windows 8 on and none of them will not let me. There are 5 to choose from and I don't know what to do to get past this. The largest partition either 5A about 934 GB of space left out of 1 TB, but as I said I can't choose it or one of the other ones for the installation.

    You just have to click on next, in any case, despite the message?  Otherwise:

    Start on the DVD of Windows 8, instead of install now, click repair your computer, Advanced Options, invites ... when it opens, type the following:

    DiskPart
    Select disk 0
    clean

    Then, try to install.

    The above will remove all the data partition and disk, allowing you to do a clean install on an empty drive (these scores are not required, and Windows will create its own partitions (two) he needs to install and run).

  • Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

    Hello here is my problem,

    I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
    So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

    Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
    Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

    Thank you Carsten
    (Sorry my English is not so good Im from the Germany)

    Wilkommen!

    > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

    I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then

  • Cannot install Windows XP on the Qosmio F50-108

    I got the Qosmio F50-108 with Vista.

    I dislike Vista so I tried to install XP.
    Unfrtunatelly, I get a BSOD every time XP takes over for the first time (startup). Usually, when there is a problem of sata, XP tells you while there's no HARD drive, but I do not get this message, I get a BSOD.
    I don't know why there is no support for XP in fact I know that Microsoft paid toshiba to stop supporting Windows XP.

    Is the thing that drives me crazy, YOU CAN INSTALL WIN XP ON EVERY APPLE COMPUTER MACINTOSH, but you can't do it with a Toshiba.

    I know that there is a possibility, I know that an update of the bios might help, but toshiba does not.
    Dear Sirs to Toshiba, I know you know what I have to do in order to get XP running on a Toshiba computer, so please, help me.

    Hi guys

    You can install XP on each laptop Toshiba. But you knew how! : D

    Your Windows XP CD must contain the SP2. This is important because the new laptops no matter which manufacturer need SP2 patches due to some hardware compatibility issues!
    Without the SP2, you will receive a BSOD!

    Then, the new notebooks support SATA drives hard and new SATA controllers!
    Windows XP and Vista operating systems do not contain the SATA drivers, and therefore you must include first before running the installer of the OS.
    Or you can disable the SATA in the BIOS. You will need to switch from AHCI to compatibility mode.

    Then, you must install the XP window successfully.

    So finally, I must say that I really don't understand these comments like this:
    > Is the thing that drives me crazy, YOU CAN INSTALL WIN XP ON EVERY APPLE COMPUTER MACINTOSH, but you can't do it with a Toshiba.
    OK, I see you're frustrated because you cannot install the operating system, but he must know that this is not a problem of laptop, but it is only a case or a knowledge!
    So maybe you should learn more about new technologies and you'll know how things are working. ;)

    To all here-> greetings & peace;)

  • Cannot install Windows 7 from the external DVD

    I got the Macbook Pro 13 "Early. 2011 Super DVD player has been broken. So, I bought a new hard drive (750 GB) and the original hard drive (320 GB). I change the position of the hard disk, I put 750 GB as the first hard drive and 320 GB as a second hard drive (by using the drive caddy).

    The current operating system is the Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2.

    So I try to install Boot Camp using Boot Camp Assistant.

    Presentation of the boot - you need an optical drive to install windows, so I plug my external DVD and put it inside the Windows 7 Installer, click on continue.

    Create or remove a Windows Partition - I select Macintosh HD (750 GB) and create a second partition for Windows, press to continue.

    Create a Partition for Windows - resize the disk partition of 750 GB became 498 for OS X and 250 GB for Windows. Tap on install.

    Partition drive...

    After the system restart and boot from external DVD

    The display flashes only _, I waited 10 minutes... does not.

    Reboot again without using external DVD, only a white screen (2-3 minutes) and appear only flashing _

  • Cannot reinstall Windows XP after the removal of Windows 8. The installation does not complete.

    I installed win 8 January last on a xp pro machine, which was in surplus. I uninstalled the victory 8 and now impossible to reinstall win xp pro

    The computer is a homemade which ran from win xp pro for several years. I installed win 8 trial knowing that it would take a new installation of XP Pro after the expiration of the 8 victory. I have reset my bios on a cd first and started in the installation cd after installing win xp, it went to boot, and the cd has been removed. a restart was launched and he went into the bios to save install and after the robot below the windows splash logo made 3 passes, he stopped at halfway. After this is is spent in attempts to bppting I noticed that whenever the start stopped he left the Num lock, cap lock, and scroll liux lights were all on on the keyboard. I traded my keyboard with one of my current computer and it always occurres. I started to reload several times now and always the same. No bios settings have helped.

    Hello

    Unplug the machine to see if this allows the machine to reinstall the operating system of any material not needed (such as printers, fax, speakers, USB devices (except keyboard and mouse), Internet connections, etc.).
