    I get an error of processor compatibility.

    Intel i3 M380 2.53 GHz

    Hello

    The Internet provides some details on this error message.
    It seems that to install Win 8 CP the CPU must support PAE/NX/SSE2 features

    Never execute Bit ([NX bit | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit]) allows the marking of memory pages as non-executable.
    Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) is an earlier standard that is supported by Intel and AMD CPU. This is why all processors that support NX would also support SSE2 too.

    Usually, this allows the XD (for Intel processors) or NX (for AMD) in the BIOS should disable this error message.
    But if it is not available in the BIOS, then either the CPU is not supported this feature or the BIOS does not support this option.

    According to the page Intel Ark Intel Core i3 - 380 M supports the Execute Disable Bit feature. So maybe the BIOS does not support this feature

  • Cannot install Windows 7 on Satellite P200D-139 - CD/DVD missing drivers

    Hi all.

    Hello this laptop comes with Windows Vista.
    I am trying to install Windows 7, 32-bit for my mother.
    It is not the original Toshiba DVD so I bought Windows 7 for him.

    First I start by using the Windows 7 DVD.
    Then the language selection screen is displayed and selections.

    Then the Install Now + option is chosen.
    Then, the following message appears - this is verbatim:

    + "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing." If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now. +
    + Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive you can delete safely for this step. » +

    I can't go beyond that point.
    Installation of Windows Vista is always on the laptop and I can't find any drivers required - driver demand is unfortunately not very precise. I wonder if it's drivers for the hard disk needs?

    I have searched on the internet and can not find drivers that work.

    Thanks in advance for any help :-)

    Hello

    The CD/DVD driver is part of the Microsoft System and also available on the Windows 7 installation disc.
    This is why there is no special driver CD/DVD available.

    I read about this topic in various forums and also on Microsoft support forum and especially this issue appear if the Windows system drive is defective or damaged.

    I put t know where you got this disc, but I recommend you to download an ISO of Windows from the Microsoft server, as shown here:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=73726
    Then, you could create a clean installation of Windows or USB flash memory disk

    The serial key you got with the Windows disk could be used for activation.

    Win XP has been very good in the past, but its not supported more of Microsoft and of course its not supported by Toshiba. This means that you won't get any Win XP drivers for notebook series.

    > even after activation of the CMS, when I'm on the interface of windows tells me it a driver problem

    This means that you were able to start the installation process of Windows 7 and the question isn't associated with wrong settings of the BIOS.

    This driver has been mentioned in the error message?
    Have you tried to boot from the original disc of Microsoft Windows 7?

  • Cannot install Windows 2000 on my Satellite 1800-514

    I am trying to install windows on my Satellite 1800-514. but when Setup tries to copy files to the hard drive I have some errors on some files are not copied correctly (it says it can't find them, I checked well and they are on the cd).

    is not always, but often the same files. jump results in an unnecessary installation (cannot start). It is the first time ever I am trying to format and reinstall windows on this laptop. I tried gentoo (linux) for a few days and it seems to work very well (except it's me mistakes sometimes when starting from cd)

    so far I have tried:
    -Another cd (all seem to give me the same problem, they worked on all the others I've used them on front of the pc...)
    -windows XP pro cd, gave me an error of not being able to load a file (looks like the installation of 2000?)
    -have you memtest86 to check memory, he finds no errors, also I tried to install with just 1 of my 2-bands memory, that has not helped either. so I don't think that memory is the problem.
    -do you have a chkdsk /R from the recovery console to check the hard disk for errors, no have been found...

    I'm naïve, what to do/try then?

    Hello

    Reset you HARD drive after using the Linux operating system? If please do it properly and then try to install Windows using the recovery CD.

    If the error again please contact the Service partner. In my opinion there must be a missing file.

    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.

    Hey Buddy,

    I don't know why this is happening but maybe you have a Virus or something and so that you can load sites Mr. t this would also explain why the various browsers give the same result.
    I put t knows what AntiVirus you have but I can recommend AntiVir. Run a virus scan and maybe it will find something.

  • Install Windows 8 on Satellite P300

    As usual rushed in and installed Windows 8 on satellite P300. What error - slow, loss of functionality. How to get back to Vista was preinstalled or is there a way I can fix it to run windows 8.
    Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU [email protected] 2.4 GHz, 4.00 (2.99 usable) GB RAM 32-bit system, x 64-based processor.

    Satellite P300 is plu laptop comes with Vista, but also supported for Win7. Unfortunately, it is not supported for Win8 so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install Win8 on it.

    Win7 works perfectly on this machine so if possible use Win7 on it. in case you want to use original Vista, you must install recovery using recovery DVD image. This way only to s to have factory settings once again.

    The question is: do you have the recovery disk?
