Downgrade from Windows Vista Home Edition to Windows XP Pro Dutch on Satellite P200-15N
Not knowing where I really should put this... I put it in this part of the forum too :)
So:
Hello
I bought a new laptop with Vista Home and two Partitions... I would like to install on the second partition "Windows XP pro" (with official key & SP2 included)! But when I run the XP Cd I get an error that the HD is not recognized... So I searched on the forum here, to see if there is a possibility of passby he...
So what I did:
(1) I download the "Intel storage drivers" of->
http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go %21
(2) I used the Floppy machine, to create a floppy disk with the necessary drivers (also from the above site)
(3) I downloaded a copy of freeware "Nlite".
(4) I also downloaded the additional drivers on the "Toshiba" site itself (Lan, storage,...)
(5) I did a "Xp Pro P200-15N" card and put all the drivers... Including the Exe I downloaded from the link above named "iata76_cd.exe"...
(6) I have made a new Win XP bootable CD with "Nlite" & added all the drivers that I downloaded and followed the procedure given by "Nlite". He made a new bootable CD (with all the drivers and .exe and .inf, etc...)
(7) then I boot my laptop with the CD, but it always gives an error on sata drives... (that it can not be found...)
So my question is... What I'm doing wrong and what should the other drivers I download to make it work? I have an external USB floppy drive... If additional drivers must be added... So I hope that there is someone can help to Ho...
I install XP for professional reasons. Things Vista Home can not handle...
Hope I got a respons soon... CZ, looks really URGENT...
THX in advance and sorry if there are errors in my writing (I still am of Belgium)
UPDATE *.
The method above does not work for me... So took my USB floppy drive and put the drivers on it (hit 'F6' at the start, added the drivers found on the link above, it install it)...
Then I could also choose a partition...
So far so good... He asked me if wanted to format it or not... I said ok...
Then, when he wanted to start the copy, I got:
Insert the CD-rom or the floppy disk with the name
Driver Intel Matrix Storage Manager
In station of A:
* Press ENTER when you are ready...
And I do not know what I do... CZ hitting enter doesn't do anything: s
So what I'm doing wrong, it becomes really ANNOYING and frustrating... I did everything they said in the link, in fact the method with f6, but still now reaction: s... Everyone?
Sincerely,
Frédéric
Thanks for the latest info!

Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows XP pro 32 bit
Hello
I have a desktop running windows 7 pro 64-bit, but need to switch to windows XP pro 32-bit as I has an electronic Development Council which is not easily compatible with this version. I understand from licensing that as I Pro I would be entitled to downgrade, this applies to the downgrading to 32-bit as well. If it's ok where can I download some ISO Windows XP pro 32 course and it's just a case of putting my windows 7 inside product key?
Hello
Until you, ensure that you will have drivers for your hardware + devices on x 86 XP. If this isn't the case, I wouldn't do the downgrade you will have many problems.
Did you first try to run the program in compatibility?
Kind regards

Windows 7 Pro non-authentique after downgrade from Windows 10 Pro full.
So I've upgraded to Windows Pro 10 for a full version of Windows 7 Pro. I've stuck with 10 windows for a few days and decided to downgrade.

Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro - need my Lic Key
Help
I bought an Omni27 about a year ago and its been ok except for the Windows8 OS. It is not practical on a desktop for me.
My problem is the following:
I need my license key Professional Windows8 for current installation to Microsoft which has a program to give you a key Win7 Pro in Exchange if you HATE Windows8. WHERE IS THE KEY!
Here's what I did:
(1) MS said to call for the cause of the seller, they have a record of the unit being the OEM installation
(2) I called HP support and they said that they do not support the downgrades. I explained everything and with an Indian accent, I was told tursely that they do not support the downgrades. I explained once again, I ask you to help me downgrade, I want just the key to lic or know where it is anywhere on the PC. They are like drones idot... Nothing
So I decided to start in win8 one last time, MS to enter the system remotely, and the fish on my lic key then send me the new KEY. I hope this works.
If anyone has a better way to address the issue made me know. I put in a new HD and install Win7 clean and keep my old drive to migrate data to.
The computer was delivered without much documentation. Unlike my Dell PC that come with stickers for the OS and other DVD media with docs, HP was skinny to almost zero!
Hello
The key is in the BIOS. The following tool will help:

What version of Windows 7 Home Premium can I buy to get the correct installation CD? I don't want a download. I want a real CD with the software on it. I have 64 bit system, and everything is now about this is a new installation of Windows 8. What is the number of real software for the version that I need to get? I GFC-00019, but want to confirm that it is correct before buy you.

Microsoft Windows 8 PRO Downgrade to Windows 7 PRO
Greetings,
This post is more than a complaint about Microsoft INABILITY to support its biggest business customers, in the hope that someone at Microsoft will really help me, instead of giving me the evasive that was given to me for the last 3 days...
I bought 100 Dell Vostro MT270 i3 Machines. All came with pre-installed Windows 8 PRO...
We have problems with Internet Explorer 9 and above with our Cloud National environment in which Microsoft Axapta 2012 runs.
Over the 3 days I tried to get in on the good service in Microsoft ranks to eventually get the product key of Windows 7 PRO for these OEM installed machines. I even offered to provide supporting documents (invoices and delivery as proof of my purchase slips)
Every department I got through where was forwarded to, listened to my story and informed me that I needed to talk to another Department.
Finally, this afternoon I decided to call Microsoft States in the hope of some kind of miracle... Instead, I lost 40 minutes of international calls from South Africa to be told that I had to talk to the Department of volume licensing for OEM pre-installed Machines?
Finally, after that be go asked me for our partner number or software assurance.
Unfortunately for me, our group Enterprise Architect was not available to give me this info. Furthermore, I was not ready to waste any more time or money on call international USA.
I read on the Net that to downgrade from Windows 8 PRO to Windows 7 PRO I need my own media (check), and a Windows 7 product key to complete install (check).
The problem here is I can't use a product key Windows 7 PRO currently in use on a work machine, and I have certainly not 100 old Windows 7 PRO Machines...
All I need is that Microsoft provide me 100 license keys for this downgrade or a unique product key I can activate 100 times.
It's really not that complicated a situation, however everyone I talked to has made it seem like they must move heaven and Earth to assist me.
This isn't how you support your customers Microsoft!
If there is someone who can help me with my problem please reply...
Paul Connick (MCP)
The best person to contact about this would be great reseller account which installer of your Microsoft volume license agreement.

I tried to insert the WinXP disc, but he says the facility is "blocked due to compatibility issues".
Hello
To install windows XP on windows 7, you need to start your computer while the cd is in the drive. This will allow the system prompts you to "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.." and then follow the instructions accordingly.
I hope this helps.

Downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista
Hello
I want to ask something about the downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista Edition Home Premium!
My laptop is Satellite L510. When I bought it, it came with Windows Vista Home Premium as its OS so I already created a recovery disk.
Now, if I update to Windows 7 and if I want to downgrade to window Vista... often I just use this recovery disc to format to Windows Vista everything as before?Because they do not have the Windows Vista installation disk when I bought this laptop.
And I want to ask now the window Vista already got a healthy recovery partition in my right HDdrive? If I update to Windows 7 then did the Window Vista healthy recovery partition is still there, or only the restore disc that I create before you reformat Windows Vista Home Premium box?Thanks to all who try to answer my question!
All new laptops are shipped without DVD upgraders and everyone must create one. This is why Toshiba has designed small Creator called Toshiba Recovery tool. With this tool you can create recovery DVDs and use them for the installation of the OS more far.
Whenever when you use, you'll have to factory settings and it will be like on the first day when launch you for the first time.
When you have this recovery media, you can do whatever you want and, of course, install Win7 with HARD drive. One day, when you want to have Vista again just use created recovery DVD and you will have factory again.
When you bought your laptop recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDRecovery. This image can be used to install Vista with the factory only settings. When you install Win7 these files can no longer be used and Vista must be installed from recovery created DVDs.

I need more info on how your network is configured to answer the question on the other. How is the computer connected to the internet? It connects wireless or cable to the router or modem or through ICS from another computer or what? How do you change between the sharing of internet connection currently? What happens when you try to enable both connections at the same time (or do not have two connections)?
Thank you. The answers above, I can be able to understand the problem, because right now I really don't know how you setup and I need as much information as you can provide about it.
