• Satellite X 205-SLi6 - downgrading to XP, Vista

  I searched for the last hours, but not luck. I wanted to downgrade vista since I can't bear it to Windows XP. I can't find SATA drivers however for my model. I have a X 205-SLi6.

  Any help would be appreciated in the decommissioning.

  You can try another model XP drivers. Maybe the P200 for example?

  What you want is the SATA F6 driver driver Intel Matrix Storage.

• Downgrade from Windows Vista to XP on Satellite A200-22I

  Hello

  Maybe this topic has arised more than once, but someone can help me?
  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 [22I with windows Vista, but I want to downgrade to XP.]

  How can I do?

  Thank you very much

  It's easy,

  You'll need a genuine Windows XP CD, drivers and little time.

  Next, you need to 'wake' drivers Windows XP AHCI the CD because otherwise the HARD drive would not be recognized during the installation of windows XP. Here´s a link to a very good education how to integrate these specific drivers for a Windows XP CD: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

  I know it sounds complicated, but trust me, you´re doing so once and you know after all. ;)

  I would also like to download the XP drivers for your machine at the following site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Your model is a PSAE6E which means you need to find the drivers for a Satellite A200 (PSAE6) and download. Burn it to a CD to have available every time when you need it...

  When you install the drivers please take care of the installation order how do I install the drivers; I can't tell you the entire order, but the most important drivers must be installed in the following order:

  -BIOS for XP (V5.60)<- i="" would="" do="" this="" before="" installing="">

  Then after the installation of Windows XP:
  -chipset
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -sound
  -lan driver
  -wlan driver

  and then the other stuff that is for this model

  That's all, if you have questions, just ask.

• Dv4-1413tx - no sound after downgrade to xp vista frm

  Hello...

  I recently bought a HP dv4-1413tx with vista home premium pre-installed on it. I tried it downgrade to Windows XP SP2. Managed to install XP on it but feels a hell of a time with drivers... Especially the audio. There is absolutely no sound. Not even the beeps.

  I tried to install UAA audio bus driver first and then the driver of HDTV LSI etc. but still no sound. I spent several hours on this subject...

  Peut - some kind soul please direct me on how to go about this case?

  I remember that I was in a similar situation some two years back in an attempt to re - install Windows XP on another laptop from my friend. We install everything except the audio. Finally, the technician at the shop could install for us. Now I'm away from the place... So can not go and find out that the man how it install it. It was also a HP laptop only...

  I would like to add that the mute button stays red and does not respond when you press.

  There is nothing about Audio in Device Manager... Maybe that's the problem.

  These are the hardware ID:

• can I downgrade from windows Vista Basic to windows xp home sem

  I have windows vista home basic system. can I go down to windows xp home edition.

  Hello

  There is NO right to downgrade from Vista Home Basic to XP.

  You need Vista Business or Vista ultimate for this.

  If you want XP, see if your computer manufacturer has XP drivers available for your laptop computer/computer model.

  If the XP drivers are available for this purpose, Microsoft sells more than XP, so you should have to take the risk of buying a pirated software on the Net, which is not recommended at all.

  If there is no XP drivers, XP would not work correctly in all cases.

  See you soon.

• Want to downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP but do not have a key. Please provide one.

  Vita windows downgrade to windows xp

  I have Windows Vista (window professional vista OEMAct) so I want to Downgrade to Windows XP Vita, please provide GOLD key of Windows XP guide

  You cannot "downgrade".  The only way to switch to XP is to install XP to clean.  Before you anything make sure that XP drivers are available from the manufacturer of your computer.  If this isn't the case, stick with Vista.

  Vista downgrade rights ended when Vista was removed from retail sales.  In any case, they were available from the computer manufacturers.

  Nobody is going to provide you with a XP product key.  The only way to get a XP product key is to buy XP.

  If you have a software, you need to run under XP, you can do so by using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.  However, you must provide your own copy of XP, including a product key.

  You seem to think it's Microsoft.  It is not the case.  It is only a user forum hosted on Microsoft servers for the comfort of its customers.  We are all just users here.

• Downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP

  I had Windows Vista, but after cleaning viruses, it is downgraded to Windows XP. How can I go back to Windows Vista

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Downgrade from Windows Vista

  Hi, I recently bought a computer Windows Vista of the store a few weeks ago.

  I used it and it was working fine and I did the work on this subject.

  I went to do something else for about two days and I'll be back, and it's on Windows 7.

  This fact has absolutely no sense to me.

  Nobody was home, updates to automatic update only notified me if I wanted to install things, not automatically installed, so I don't know what happened.

  Windows 7 made my computer very slow and I don't know even why it is Windows 7 in the first place.

  The computer was built for Vista, but as it was built for Vista, in my opinion, that it can't handle really just 7 to full capacity.

  I want to downgrade to Vista, but I can't because the PC came with the drive.

  And I checked to see if there was a windows.old file, but it was not.

  It is as if someone has installed Windows 7 with a CD and just reinstalled everything I had on the subject.

  I hope you guys can help.

  Original title: random update?

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but Windows 7 does not settle by itself and Windows 7 is not an update of Windows.

  You must physically install Windows 7.

  Go back/reinstall Vista:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  Installation of Windows 7 was able to destroy this option:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

• Satellite A200 - BSOD after downgrading from Win Vista to XP Pro

  HII

  I bought a Satellite A200.
  The windows vista family edition was the operating system that was installed.
  Compatibility issue with a particular software that I use, I changed the vista by a XP Professional SP3.
  But since then, the computer crashes and present a blue screen. I wish I had some ideas to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The BSOD can be caused by the problem of hardware and software problem.
  In your case it seems s due to software problem. Maybe a few compatibility problems between certain parts of the software

  First you need to check if you are using the version of Win XP BIOS Yes this laptop needs a Win XP BIOS, which could be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

  I m also interesting when the BSOD appears you installed Win XP successfully or it was not possible to install the XP because the BSOD?

  If you were not able to install Win XP then I guess you don't have included SATA drivers participating in the crib on Intel Matrix Storage.

  I recommend some threads here in the forum about this theme.

• Downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP on Equium P200

  I have a Satellite P200D and I would like to go back to xp, because I can not with vista. Can I get the recovery with xp instead of vista your baz disc

  Hi mate,

  This machine was never released with Windows XP, so there is probably NO Windows XP recovery media. I mean, they don t have same WinXP drivers for this machine. So, now you have the following options: check the forum if some guy had collected own pilots or drop the plan to install XP on this machine.
