• Satellite A200-1AD - downgrade from Windows XP Home edition

  I've read all the other different threads around the upgrade/downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  1. What do I need to change the BIOS before I start to replace Vista by XP or can I wait until I loaded the base XP and then make the BIOS change?

  2. If I try and update the BIOS for XP and it crunches the laptop is covered by the warranty?

  If the 2 answer is Yes, then I'll save a step by step process that I do to change the operating system from Vista to XP. Any help much appreciated.

  Hello Ken

  All I know is some BIOS designed for Windows XP Home edition for computer series laptop Satellite A200. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my A200 but some FN keys do not work properly. Other stuff works well and WXP turns quite quickly.

  I recommend installing WXP without updated BIOS to see if there is a serious problem. If this is not the case, leave such BIOS what.

• Satellite U400-10 has: Downgrade from Windows XP Home edition

  I got my laptop U400-10 for XP. Few things left pending:

  1. How can I get the LED on the top of the screen (and Satellite/power LED) to decrease intensity again by pressing the LED light on the top of the screen? Worked under vista. Cannot run Windows XP Home edition. Probably a Toshiba driver... but the Witch one?

  2. I get a Device Manager question mark in front of audio storage devices and mass HD. I checked the internet and it seems related to the HDMI port. But how to fix it? I can't identify the right Toshiba drivers on the page/download driver Toshiba.

  3. How can I get Bluetooth (with the standard windows drivers)? Bluetooth Monitor driver Toshiba form doesn't seem to work.

  Thanks for the replies.

  Hello

  (1.) I think you could turn on and off the LED of Illumination in the BIOS.
  But maybe it s not supported under Win XP.

  (2) some features are not supported by XP. This unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory. This material will be supported only by Windows Vista so there is no driver Windows XP.

  (3) possibly you have ONLY installed the BT monitor. It is a diagnostic utility, and if you want to use BT you need a driver of BT.
  The BT driver can be downloaded from the page of the portal of BT or driver Toshiba

• How to format c drive Windows XP Pro? I'm trying to downgrade to Windows XP Home Edition OEM CD. Request CD will not allow.

  Hello

  I have a PC with XP Pro, which I think is not a legitimate copy of the operating system.  So, I am trying to install an original OEM OS from Windows XP Home ed. Paraphasing error message: "Cannot go back," I want to start by reformatting the c drive.  However, I don't know how to do so on Windows and in the 'Run' dialog screen.  I tried to start the configuration of the screen (F8 on reboot) but the CD player says "disabled", and I can't seem to activate.  Any help that works will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
  PS: this is my first time using this forum, so I hope I can find the answer if someone answers

  I think xp reformatted drive what ever you choose to install on. A good work-around: do you do a fdisk. Set your bios to boot from floppy. Go to the directory and use the format command. That it will scan.

• 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!

• X satellite L40-12: need of Modem driver for Windows XP Home edition

  I need downgrading to Windows XP Home edition to my new Satellite L40 - 12 X. For now, Toshiba does not provide driver Windows XP Home edition for my laptop, exept for Atheros Wi - Fi.

  So I found the drivers for each device directly from the only supplier site except for the modem of Toshiba. Vista driver does not work and the list of devices in its .inf file tells that the chipset is Agere.

  On the site of agere, I have not found what I need... anyone can help me?
  Thank you

  Massimo

  I had the same problem on my L40 - 13G. Before installing drivers, you must download and install patch KB888111 and KB835221 for Windows XP. And try to install the XP of satellite L30 drivers (if you have modem with toshiba chipset) or L100 (if you have chipset connexant).
  P.S. sorry but my English is not good - but I hope you understand me :-)

• How downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows XP Home Edition?

  How downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows XP Home Edition?  I understand that what is happening back, but my printer & a lot of programs that I can not afford to replace now is not compatible with Win7.  I tried to insert the WinXP disc, but he says the facility is "blocked due to compatibility issues".

  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.

• Why the Satellite A100 PSAAN drivers of Windows XP Home edition?

  I won't work with vista all the time but Toshiba makes me use all the time because they do not support drivers for Windows XP Home edition. And I have to work with WXP because vista does not work with some programs that I need and that is not good.

  I need them immediately and I still ask why the drivers for Windows XP Home edition are not there?

  Hi Duge

  As you update and upgrade are typical in PC world and these processes have priority and are definitely looking to the future. Downgrade still isn't back. It is also important but has no priority as upgrade.

  I assume that upgrade supported for all mobile phones capable of Vista is not yet complete. I'm pretty sure that new notebook will build for Windows XP Home Edition, but it may take a little time. Be patient. You can also view other topics on this technical forum. You will find lots of useful information about OS downgrade.

  Bye and good luck!

• Installation of Windows XP Home edition on the new Satellite Pro L550

  Hello

  I have a new satellite Pro L550 and need to downgrade to XP. If I want to go back to Windows 7 that I can in the future?

  Thank you, Lisa

  Hello Lista

  In my opinion you should look forward and begin using the new Windows7 operating system. It is really good OS, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba laptops.
  Please note that you have most recent laptop with newer hardware model designed for standards of Win7.
  Yes, you can install Win7 when you want.

  Win7 is fully supported and you won't have any problems with it.
  To return to Windows XP edition family has no much sense to me, except to use some old software designed for Windows XP Home edition only.

  Anyway, what model of laptop you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

  Hello

  Before using Windows XP Home edition please check Toshiba support page and make good BIOS update. As far as I know Toshiba offers WXP BIOS version. If I remember well he must be version 5.20 or something similar.
