  I have laptop Satellite A200 PSAE3 and editing Vista Home premium 32-bit installed.

  I want to fix it to dual boot with Windows XP.
  But when I go to install XP, it says "SETUP has NOT FIND ALL DRIVES HARD INSTALLED in YOUR COMPUTER".

  Please let me know what are the possible solutions to overcome this problem.

  Thank you

  This problem can be solved very easily install the right driver SATA ;)

  Yes, you must install a SATA driver to recognize the SATA HDD!

  I did, is that your Win XP doesn't do not contains the latest SATA drivers that are necessary and important install the Windows operating system.

  The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers for two different chipsets.
  Visit the European driver from Toshiba or Intel page and download the Storage Manager!

  You will need an external USB FDD drive to include this SATA driver in the installation of Win XP.
  Maybe you remember that Setup during the installation process of Win XP Win XP request by pressing the F6 key to install a 3rd party SATA drivers.
  You must connect the external floppy drive, and then you could install such SATA driver.

  But perhaps the problem is the USB FDD drive.
  To be honest I n t have such external floppy drive unit and so I had to include the SATA driver using another solution.

  I used the * program nLite. It s for free and may be required from the internet. Google simply.
  You can use this application to create a new XP CD with SATA driver. Then you could start from this new CD to install XP on your machine.

  I did and I managed

  Bye and have a nice day buddy ;)

  Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

  Put the computer to boot and see if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Historical files can not find my USB drive.

  I think I should have created this problem myself by removing something that I wouldn't on 19/04/15. That said I think I should be able to have the file history find my USB hard drive. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the drive several times, tried different ports several times, I have set all permissions for all users and restarted after each step. I made sure the computer see the drive in devices under USB devices and readers. I formatted the drive and can drag and drop to and from the drive. I plugged in a flash drive and run the history file to it and worked until he ran out of memory. When I try to run the history file it looks like for the flash player and I said need to plug in, I choose select drive and it rises, "no usable disc found", I don't understand how historical files can not find my USB drive when all other aspects of Windows 8.1 can. I spent enough hours for the moment that in failure.

  Any help is appreciated,

  I found a solution. I renamed my backup disk using this link How to change drive in Windows 8 letters or 8.1 [Easy] and when the disc has been selected, I clicked on for "transfer existing files?

• I need to re - install windows vista but can not find my disk

  Gave up my old hard drive to the laptop and I need Windows vista but can not find my disc can I download it for free if so microsoft where any help would be great

  Thank you very much, Nik

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

• Portege R830 - 111 BIOS can not find the SSD drive

  Hello
  Four days ago, I bought R830-111 [PT320E-00X00XPL] and a - DATA S599 2.5 "SATA II Solid State Drive 128 GB to replace the standard HARD disk drive. Unfortunately, the new SSD drive does not work with this laptop.

  Several times, after several reboots disc was visible in the BIOS.
  But there is not the possibility of a normal use of the SSD.
  I have day laptop BIOS [BIOS360_EC140_WIN] and SSD drive. That did not help.

  Can someone help and tell me how to work this SSD ADATA and Portege?

  Best regards

  Have you checked if the SSD drive needs a firmware update?
  In some cases, this is necessary, but in the worst cases, the SSD drive might not be compatible and this means that you need to test another :(

• DeskJet F4580: new router cannot get connection and can not find the whole upward on macbook

  I had to get a new router as I have had problems with my fixed internet internet problems but now my printer does not work unless I connect with the usb cable, I have tried everything including the abolition of the printer, which now, I deleted the setting up of information out of my macbook and can not install the printer please help it worked very well with my other router...

  Hey @gingerjean1,

  Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

  I see that you have replaced your router and are having trouble with your Deskjet F4580 of connection to the network. I can help you with that.

  As you use Macintosh 10.7 I recommend the use of a Windows PC to install the printer on and then to add to your wireless network. If this isn't a practical option there are a number of things we could try.

  Apple Software Update

  1. Click on your Apple icon and go to software updates.
  2. Install the available updates.
  3. Apple's HP printer driversdownload.

  If during the installation there is no wireless options then:

  1. Go to your Apple system and print and Scan preferences icon.
  2. Double-click your printer icon on the left side of this screen.
  3. In the pop-up window, click on settings, utility, and then click Open Printer Utility.
  4. In this new window, you must have a wireless tab along the top, that you can click.
  5. On the left side, we are looking for a wireless configuration wizard.
  6. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard to add the printer to your wireless network.
  7. Once the printer is connected, disconnect the USB cable to the back of the printer.
  8. Return to the Apple, system, print, and Scan preferences.
  9. Click on the button "+" at the bottom left.
  10. In this window, select your printer.
  11. If there is a line indicating the use that says Airprint click to select your printer in the list instead.
  12. Click on Add.
  13. Try to print.

  Ad-Hoc

  If the method above does not allow you to connect the printer wireless, then it can work.

  1. Perform a factory reset the printer. I will include guidance on how to do so shortly in a private message.
  2. Turn on the printer.
  3. Press the button on the front of the printer wireless.
  4. Wait for about a minute.
  5. On your Mac or another wireless device, you should see a network with a name similar to "HP Deskjet F4500 XX Print" listed. To connect to this network.
  6. Press and hold the scan button (the icon of the printer under the red x on the printer) for 10 seconds. When you release the printer should print a test wireless report.
  7. On the device you connected to the printer, open a web browser and type the IP address in the bar of address exactly as shown on the test report.
  8. You should have a network tab along the top of this window.
  9. On the left side, we are looking for a wireless configuration wizard.
  10. When you run that must connect the printer to your wireless network.
  11. Once the printer is connected, disconnect the USB cable to the back of the printer.
  12. If you have connected your Mac to the printer above and then reconnect the printer to your wireless network now.
  13. Return to the Apple, system, print, and Scan preferences.
  14. Click on the button "+" at the bottom left.
  15. In this window, select your printer.
  16. If there is a line indicating the use that says Airprint click to select your printer in the list instead.
  17. Click on Add.
  18. Try to print.

  If it allows you to connect your printer to your wireless network and then do other forum users know clicking on accept as Solution below my post. Even if you have any other questions please let me know.

  I hope this helps and I hope you have a nice day!
