Cannot install Windows XP Pro on the Satellite A100-411

Hello

IA´ve you have a question. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance that would have me much better with Windows XP, I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition, but on the same hard drive.

The problem is that it did not work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD player, did a restart and started from the cd.
The first window Windows Xp installation opened and checked my system, but when he did and
wantet to start the main installation, I got a blue screen, where stood her system was closed due to an error and that I should change my video card, or should I turn caching and shadowing in my Bios.

But my video card really works and is ok and I can't find the caching and shadowing in bios, so I can't install windows xp.

So my question is is it possible to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.

I did something wrong or isn´t is it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on an A100-411
Sorry for my bad English and greetings from the Germany

Hello

Of course, it should be possible to install Windows XP on the second partition.
First you must create the partition. Vista provide a clean option for partitions of creation because the 3rd party applications such as Partitions magic doesn't work under Vista. In disk management you can reduce the size of a partition of first and could create a second partition on the HARD disk free space.

All your Windows XP CD contain service packs? I myself remember more old CD s WinXP don't were not delivered with SP2! In such cases, it s a good idea to create a clean XP Boot CD using 3rd application called nLite. Its freeware and you could find on the net!

  • Blue screen when installing Win XP Pro on the Satellite A100-211

    Hi all.

    I'm started to get really desperate here! I just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (as the laptop comes with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), I get a blue screen of the STOP just as the installation application reached the phase "the installation program starts Windows! The STOP message says something about a file named "pci.sys".

    I don't know what the problem is or how to install XP Pro! It should be so simple! I even tried the SATA drivers from intel and load the Windows XP Pro install the program installation (F6) with a floppy, but I always get the same blue screen at the same stage of the installation.

    Can someone help me please? Can someone explain how to install Win XP Pro on this laptop?

    Thank you very much in advance! I'm really really freak out with this

  • BSOD occurs when I try to install Windows XP Home on the Satellite A100-VA5

    I got a brand new Toshiba A100 - VA5 Notebook, here in Toronto in the Canada.

    Laptop came with Vista. I don't have a problem with vista, but there are some software that I need for my work and they do not work on Vista.
    I decided to install Windows on a partition, but when I run the XP installation CD, it errors on a blue screen with the error below

    The Blue error screen I get when installing WXP stop is

    Stop: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF76450BF, 0XF7A91208, 0XF7A90F080)

    I searched on Internet forums, some people have had similar problems on a computer no-Toshiba with XP and the problem was caused because the XP installation CD does not have S - ATA Raid Controller drivers? Which after pressing F6 at the start-up of the plant, solved the problem.

    However, I was unable to find the drivers for the controller S - ATA Raid on Toshiba support site, and I don't know where to find them. Someone knows something like that and it is due to S - ATA Raid Controller drivers? And if the answer is Yes, where can I find them since?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Everything you need you can find on Toshiba Canada support page http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp#
    When you choose your part number do not forget, you use PSAANC-VA505C number (check also on the laptop label in the lower corner of your laptop).

    Now, back to the blue screen. As far as I know for this model of laptop is not necessary to install the S - ATA Raid Controller at the beginning of the procedure of the facilities. For laptops with RAID driver this driver is available on the download page. This driver is not available for your laptop model.

    Hello

    Check your level of service current pack...

    • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
    • Examine what is listed in the system: section

    If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

    .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

    Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

    For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

    So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

    Come on HP, I need your advice please.

    Hello:

    There is a very good reason that XP does not install.

    Intel did not provide any sata ahci drivers for the chipset that has your laptop.

    That's why you got the BSOD.  XP cannot find the hard drive.

    The latest processors from Intel-based notebook chipsets which had support for XP have laptops with the 7 Series chipsets.

    Not to mention the fact that you wouldn't find any graphic or wireless drivers for XP even if you can get it (that you can't) install.

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.

  • Cannot install Windows 10 Pro bootcamp support software

    I have recently installed Windows 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015, retina), OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21). After Windows restarted, bootcamp has started to install drivers from support and hung on the Realtek driver. Let him all night but he still has not made progress, so I closed the installation program. Now I can't find how to restart, or to download the drivers and install them manually. I had to hold the option key when you restart back into OS X. According to the oldest documents, I tried rerunning the bootcamp assistant to download USB drivers, but this version gives me the option to restore my drive to its original state. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    I couldn't find a place to download the drivers for bootcamp support and discovered in training camp 6, the drivers are downloaded on a separate partition on the SSD (instead of USB drive). So I wiped the installation of windows and repartee with the intention to copy the downloaded software (which I did). Yet once bootcamp hooked when installing the Realtek driver and did some googling. I found this post that solved my problem. https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6567790?TSTART=0

  • Cannot install Windows 7 Pro 32 bit on Optiplex 9010

    It comes with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM (a location). The original operating system was Ubuntu. I tried to install Windows 7 Pro SP1 on it. The first black with loading bar screen looks ok, then shows background blue for less than a second main facility, then goes to a black screen, after a few seconds, the DVD - Rom stops spinning, the machine is in standby mode. But with the installation of Windows 7 64-bit, there is no problem at all. Still need to run some 16-bit programs, so we prefer 32-bit windows.

    Any reason why 9010 does not accept Windows 32 bit?

    Strange, I just tried 32 bit of Windows 7 Pro that does not have integrated SP1, Setup was properly executed. It seems that the SP1 integrated version has bugs.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 pro 64-bit on Satallite A200

    I have Win 7 pro 32 bit and I need to clean install 64 bit version. I don't have a Toshiba Satellite A200 model. psafoa and it won't start not dvd/usb or anything else than the main hard drive. I'm sure it's the bios. I can't change anything in the bios settings, I can change the boot order IE first usb etc, but it does not work. It won't start.

    Any help much appreciated, I tried for more than 20 hours. I already have the latest version of the driver for the bios that is from 2007, there are looong dam it. I need to install this for studies.
    I have the latest update for my bios and have followed the instructions from Toshiba and elsewhere.

    Again, I do not just want to install windos 7, I already have, I want to install windows 7 64 bit.

    Hello

    You do not need to change the boot order in the BIOS.
    You can boot from the CD/DVD drive using another way

    Press F12 after that laptop has propelled upward
    Then a start menu should appear there you must choose the STRANGE as boot device and should press ENTER.

    This would allow booting from the CD/DVD drive

    You can also press the C button immediately after the laptop has propelled this should allow both CD/DVD drive. !

  • Install Windows 7 Pro on the second HARD drive located in Optibay

    Hello

    I have a 2009 15 "MacBook Pro C2D 2.66 with 8 GB of ram and a 480 GB SSD as my main drive. I will be to install a secondary HARD drive in the optical Bay. I want a 250 GB partition for a boot camp and 750 GB partition which can be read by OS X and Windows. 750Go partition will be used mainly on the side of the OS X to store photos, movies, music and documents but would be like training camp to access incase I need a file or two. I have already twisted boot camp to allow a windows usb installation and wonder what to do next steps are. I have read several forums and it's possible but instructions on the forums seem to be a specific user. Thanks in advance.

    1. on your specific Mac, windows should be on the main drive Bay. It will be also problems to start.

    2. do not modify the Info.plist Bootcamp and try the USB installation. You spend hours trying and it will fail.

    3. you must use the internal optical drive, integrated to install Windows on the main drive Bay.

    4. Once Windows is installed and fully functional, you can then replace the Optibay drive.

    5. do not throw your optical drive. If you need to repair Windows, you will need to return to the standard hardware configuration.

    6. you can have problems even under normal circumstances with a dual Setup, so be prepared for adventures in such a configuration.

  • Trying to install win xp pro on the Satellite A200 - TH1 (PSAE3C)

    Hi all
    I just bought this laptop. It came with vista. I want to install xp pro on it, I mean keep vista as well. So I made the partition and assigned 72 GB for xp pro. Now the problem is that xp pro install cd does not recognize the hard drive. It says no hard drive present.

    It is a SATA drive. So I did some searching on Google on it and found that xp pro doesn't have SATA drivers and this is why you may not see the hard drive. I need to install the SATA drivers with xp pro by pressing F6... and blah blah. Given that this laptop didn't come with the disk, then I found on some forums to include drivers with xp pro cd and make an iso image and try to run it.

    I tried several times but each time it gives me error this cable is broken. Is someone can pls let me know what is the problem? And also if anyone can guide me to get the right drivers for my SATA drive and intel 965 PM chipset... If I go the Intel Web site.

    They are all. EXE files. I want the driver files only, so I can insert them into the xp cd. Thanks for your help and guidance adavance.
    Adam

    Hi all

    I was able to get the drivers... now, I came across another hurdle... When I put the XP installation cd (which is an ISO bootable disk... This includes the xp sp2 and realtek nic drivers) it gives me message that searching for media... RTL8100E/8101E v1.02... test failed... Check if the cable is connected...

    Any ideas? What should I do now? Any suggestion would be appreciated... Thank you
