Downgrade of Tecra A8 - Bussiness from Vista to XP Profesional

Hello

I have a laptop Tecra A8-104 which came with Vista Business. I want to downgrade to XP Professional. Can you help me with this? I don't know where to find a legal XP free kit for installation. Toshiba provides a Kit of XP for the downgrade? After all the Toshiba is the OEM supplier. I think that I don't have to buy a new license, I've already paid for the business of Vista came with the laptop.

By the way I asked for an XP preinstalled on this model but the Romanian Distributor, Scop Toshiba computers, said that this model does not come with Win XP lt all.

Microsoft Vista downgrade to XP.

Could I get some advice from a Manager from Toshiba?

You might be able to get a Toshiba XP Downgrade drive, call Toshiba Europe and ask them.

Otherwise, you would need to purchase a retail XP version and installing the drivers of Toshiba and utility from the drivers Toshiba page.

  • Re: Is it easy to downgrade the Satellite U300-111 from VISTA to XP

    I bought a Toshiba U300-111 and it comes with VISTA Home Premium.

    I wonder what is the best way to this downgrade to XP Pro? I ask the retailer that sells to me, and they asked me to contact Toshiba support. I wonder would be Toshiba offer me a free replacement of XP instead of VISTA? Since I had asked for XP, but the seller told me that they cannot help me.

    Also, I have another machine with XP Pro top (it's a phone from another manufacturer and XP came bundled with it). I intend to install linux on it, it would be ok for me to use the license for this machine to install XP on my Toshiba laptop?

    Thank you

    Of course, it is easy to install the XP.

    First you must install the Intel Storage Manager. This driver is required, because without this Intel Matrix Storage Manager XP does not recognize the HARD drive.
    After a successful installation of the Intel Storage Manager, you can continue the installation of XP, and after installing the OS, you can install the drivers from Toshiba.

    > I wonder would be Toshiba offer me a free replacement of XP instead of VISTA
    No, you can buy an original MS XP

  • Is it possible to downgrade Satellite U300 from Vista to XP?

    Is it possible to downgrade a Toshiba Satellite U300 from Vista to XP?
    No matter what guide available on how do?

    I tried to install with a standard XP installation disc, he couldn't even find the drive and refused to start the installation.

    I recently bought this laptop with Vista and was really looking for an XP model avoid all the problems of Vista, but it turns out its almost impossible to find one - have all of Vista.

    I am disgusted with all computer laptop-manufacturers, who are now offering an OS that is not yet ready for the general public, the guard you kicked in the teeth
    and waste your time as m and d, try to find solutions and work around the problems most ridiculous & pointless.

    Virtual PC XP Vista initially seemed to solve a lot of problems, but after a few days, unfortunately, the performance of the virtual machine has deteriorated seriously, I don't know why.

    OK - still happy if someone here can answer the original questions?

    Of course, you can install WXP on U300 and you can do this by using the facilities of Microsoft CD. Is very important to have the Storage Manager. This utility is needed to proceedings WXP facilities for the recognition of the HARD drive. You can save it on the floppy drive and import it using the F6 key at startup of installations of Windows XP Home edition.

    Visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads. There you can find all the drivers of Windows XP Home for U300. at the first checkpoint Installations Instructions document and use this list for installing drivers, tools and utilities. Follow the exact order of installations.

    Bye and good luck!

    Hello

    If you have received a disk of Windows XP Toshiba Recovery then you should be able to downgrade the Tecra for Win XP OS.
    You must know that the Toshiba Recovery disk is not the same as the original Windows XP disc! The recovery disk, you can find image files.

    In order to start the recovery procedure, you will have to boot from that disk.
    But note; the whole HARD disk may be formatted! So if necessary backup data first!

    See you soon

    Heya I write about the downgrade from Vista to XP.

    I play world of warcraft online game, I think that my laptop is good enough to run it, but I get little FPS (Frames Per Second) I do belive Vista drains your computer and is no friendly case like performance than XP. I have Vista Home Premium, I was trolling internet reading how to etc... Some forums said that some manufacturers of computer/laptop can provide a Vista 2 XP disks. I was wondering does toshiba? If this is not the case, how it would be difficult to downgrade from Vista? Is there a risk of bricking my laptop? could u do a list of things that I would need and a guide step by step on how downgrade but remembering I'm not a computer very know how nobody so keep it very basic =)
    Also - what is void your warranty? I would be able to send my laptop for toshiba and they do?

    Hello!

    Downgrade from Vista to XP isn't very difficult and it should be possible that you can do yourself.

    You need at least one drive in Microsoft Windows XP with SP2. Boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. But you need the SATA drivers, the computer can recognize the HARD drive. For drivers, you need Intel Storage Manager, which can be downloaded on the site of Toshiba and this is workaround step by step how to do this:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

    If you have installed XP, you must install all the drivers and tools for this. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Error message appears during the downgrade from Vista to XP

    When I go through the windows if it says that the version is newer than the one you want to install.

    Hello

    If you want to use the Win XP instead of Vista, then you must do a clean install!
    The downgrade will not work because Vista is newer than XP.

    I put t know what laptop you have, but most of the new laptops support a SATA HDD controller and you must include the SATA drivers to install Win XP.

    In addition SATA drivers are a part of the Intel Storage Manager which should be published on the Toshiba page as well.

    Just a hint; Use the option search advanced this Toshiba forum there are a lot of discussions about this theme!

    This Conexant posted to Skydrive is the same as the file Mediafire post by Mariza... which is, btw, his own personal discovery and seems better to work for a microphone. Get it if you have problems to Mediafire, like that sometimes.

    I think that Mariza said the Install.exe can be executed from it rather than having to use the Device Manager.

  • Satellite A200-1NB: Question about downgrade from Vista to XP

    I bought a 1NB A200 and I intend to downgrade from Vista to XP.
    I would like to create a CD of tools and utilities, but do I need to do before the low grade or can I do after?

    Also, I have to change the BIOS for XP before you install on the system or install XP first and then modify the BIOS for XP after installation?

    Thanks for your help.

    *@Brown*

    Hello

    If possible, try to update the BIOS first, and then reinstall the operating system.

    I think you also need download all drivers Toshiba XP before installing XP on this OS. Without the LAN or WLan you will not be able to connect to internet ;)

    I wonder if someone has already tried to downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP. I have a Satellite P200-16 b.
    I was check in the support Web site and I found most of the pilots it but I think not all.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I used the search option and found many threads on the downgrade from Vista to XP on Satellite P200 PSPB0E

    All Toshiba drivers are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Of course, you won't find additional software and programs like WinDVD, etc. insofar as these software are only a part of the Toshiba recovery image and as I guess are not to free them.

    An important note; you need to install XP drivers as mentioned in the installation instructions txt file. This doc is also found on the Toshiba driver page!

    Then you should not get any trouble of installation.

    Best regards and happy new year 2008 :D

  • Satellite U400 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hello guys,.

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with a pre-installed version of Vista business & do not like. It came with a recovery disk for Windows XP Pro product. This confused me a bit. Can I downgrade Vista Business with XP Pro?

    My next question is, if I can downgrade to XP Pro I need registry XP with Mircosoft?

    Also, if I do not need to register with Mircosoft XP, where can I get the registration key of?

    Greatly forward a response.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
    But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

    But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

    If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
    AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.
