Cannot install XP on Satellite P200 - 17 c lack of HARD drive

Hello
I want to install Win XP on my laptop but at the beginning of the instalation stops because the error that says:
windonws installation software cannot find a hard disk of your computer. Please connect your hard drive to the computer or turn it on.

but as you now the hard drive is connected to my computer.
What should I do?

Please check this thread:

It s on the same theme.
The solution is the installation of the Intel matrix Storage Manager.
It must be installed before you'll perform XP installation procedure

Good luck

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.

  • C55 - A satellite - keep Windows after changing the HARD drive?

    Hello

    I want to buy Toshiba Satellite C55 - A, which is pre-installed Windows 8.1 and the recovery on the HARD drive Partition.
    I also want to buy 256 GB SSD and put it in Toshiba (and use the external as hard drive from Toshiba HARD drive).

    Can I install Windows 8.1 that I bought (preinstalled) on the SSD?
    If so, how?

    Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with an SSD.
    The key is the recovery media (USB key or drive).
    You must create a recovery disk to replace the HARD drive.

    Laptop Toshiba computers are preinstalled with software called Toshiba Recovery Media creator.
    This allows you to create a recovery media that you can use to reinstall the system on the new SSD installed!

    Hello

    Your Windows installation does not see the HARD drive because the SATA drivers were not included in the XP installation CD.
    The new generation of portable computers is equipped with a SATA HDD controller. But don t Win XP or Vista one pilot built-in SATA.

    SO, you will need to download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You will find the SATA drivers.
    You can use nLite software. It of free and it will help you to create a new XP CD and include the SATA drivers. You can then use this new XP installation CD.

  • Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hi all...
    I would like to ask something...

    I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

    I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

    My questions are the following:

    (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
    I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

    (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

    (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
    May I take in an informal shop, too?

    (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
    Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

    Thank you in advance...

    Hey Buddy

    It is good that ask you the question.

    (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

    (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

    (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

    (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
    Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

    Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
    The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
    So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P200 - cannot install XP due to lack of HARD drive

    Hello...

    I have the Toshiba Satellite P200, with Windows Vista home edition.
    I want to remove and install win XP but I have the problem;
    I can t install windows xp. I have this message: Setup doesn't detect any hard disk...

    A friend tell me what s due to the update of the Bios, but I can t solve the problem

    Please help me

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all you shouldn't t believe everything say this as some computer beginners.
    It s NOT a BIOS issue.

    Your HARD drive is not visible during the installation of Win XP because the SATA driver was not included!
    The laptop supports the SATA controller and a SATA driver must be included in Win XP to recognize the HARD drive!

    But I don t want to write the whole story again that this issue has been addressed 1000 times here in the forum. I recommend this forum a little bit and search for similar topics regarding the installation of Win XP.

    A hint; Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA driver ;)

    There are some problems with installing xp on vista laptop... After talking to toshiba agent he's recovery discs there to put xp on as a straight install normally fails by experience.
    Some won't take only short xp. (for one, made this mistake on a new laptop!)

    Your best bet is the recovery disc and screw with vista, but do not install service pack 1 again... There are questions. Sort of a work in progress for Bill and his friends...

  • Not possible to install XP on Satellite P200 PSPB3E

    Hello

    I have a PSPB3E satellite; my friend and I tried to install Win XP on this laptop.
    W have all of the drivers, on the site of toshiba, (also the SATA driver diskette), but it seems impossible to install XP.

    We need XP for medical application (ultrasound). Uptill now, we tried: vista House downgrade to xp--> without success.
    HARD drive total format; boot from the XP cd--> without success.

    All the partitions have been deleted. We do not know what do us wrong. Al 1 last time XP installed OK but after he was scheduled to return: he had a blue screen for a second and you can only start up in save mode... and even that does not work.

    Does anyone know what do us wrong, or someone has a solution for us?
    Maybe the only way is to build in a new clean HARD drive?

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure what harm s but I assume that the bad Intel Matrix Storage Manger has been installed.
    Please visit the page of the Toshiba driver and download the Intel Storage Manager.

    Do you use the Win XP OS, which includes SP2?
    You must use a MS XP CD with SP2! It is very important

    Friend here is my advice; I think you need to create a new XP CD using a freeware program called nLite (try Google for this program).
    Then you could include SP2 and the (driver sata) Intel Storage Manager using the nLite to the XP operating system.

    Finally, you should boot from the XP CD created new and should use it to reinstall XP on the P200 ;)

    Good luck
