• Dual boot on Satellite A200 with Vista-XP?

  Computer details: * Satellite A200 PSAE6E... *.
  The laptop came with Vista... I managed to install Windows XP (with new drivers etc...) and it ' s working fine * BUT * after reboot, Acronis OSS does not recognize Vista and the computer starts directly with Win XP only. (I need two BONES...)

  I'm looking for a lot of instructions now of hours * dual boot *, but everyone takes for granted that I have an Installation DVD for Vista... I don't!
  Toshiba came only with the product recovery CD, so all the instructions of MBR and solutions that even Microsoft gives me (E:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt60 all...) it does nothing!

  Is there anyone out there?
  Please... If you can give me no hint at all... it would be just a miracle... Thank you

  A program that allows you to change the bootoptions, so if you want to change the boot settings, then try this program.

  Otherwise, you can also consult the "UBCD4Win" program which is a live cd of windows xp with many tools, you may find something to change the Boot Manager.

• Windows XP - Dual Boot for Satellite U300-134

  Hello. I have read other responses to this problem of the addition of Windows XP (as a dual boot) but it still doesn't work. My laptop (I bought a few days ago) comes with Vista, and I bought Windows XP Home Edition - OEM. I got the intel matrix storage manager on a floppy USB drive, but now it gives a message "the txtsetup.oem file is not found." I have XP because it turns out that my work WHAT VPN does not work under Vista (I found that out AFTER I bought the computer unfortunately).

  Can you please tell me what I should do next to get this working? And any other surprises I might encounter? I looked around the internet but cannot find the answers to this. I tried nlite, but have not managed to get this working but either.

  Thank you.
  Ian

  Hello

  There are different reasons why you can not install Win XO on the U300.

  First use the right Manager, Intel Matrix Storage Manager?
  Laptop you seems to support the Intel GM965 + Intel ICH8M chipset!

  Please check this thread!
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

  The user Markus77 has listed the details!

  Also please don't format the HARD drive or create any installation AFTER the partitions of the Intel Matrix Storage manager. This would remove the driver already installed.

• Dual-boot on Satellite A300 - 21 H

  Hello

  I'm trying to dual boot this machine with Windows XP Home edition as a second operating system. The drive is already partitioned and ready to take the bone, but when the machine is started with the xp cd it will get only in what concerns the installation of base drivers and you get the BSOD, it is before you get even to specify options etc. I have two of these machines, and they both do the same thing.

  Any help would be fantastic.

  Tom

  Hello

  I think you get the BSOD due to lack of SATA drivers in Windows XP
  You must include the SATA drivers to the Win XP operating system first.
  To do this, the nLite software could be used.

  Google and the search here on the forum for nLite, SATA and Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers there are a lot of discussions on this theme.

  PS: After installing Win XP you will not be able to start the Vista because Vista boot manager would be a shame to Win XP.
  To do this, you will have to start Microsoft Vista DVD (not Toshiba recovery disc!).
  The DVD of Vista would be fix again the Startup Manager and you could start in Vista.

  Then, you need to install the free tool called EasyBCD.
  This tool allows you to change the Vista Boot Manager and include the Win XP on the start menu.
  This menu appears at the beginning and will allow you to choose between Vista and Win XP.

  I did on my laptop and it worked perfectly!

• Dual Boot on Satellite L775

  Think about putting a L775-119, and as I already own a copy of Windows XP, wondering how it would be easy to install Windows XP Home on a L775, in a dual-boot configuration?

  In General dualboot is not problematic, but you should check first if your phone model is supported for Windows XP Home edition.

  You know, new laptops are generally not supported for old WXP so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install old OS on the new machine.

• Dual-boot a Satellite A660-18 - BSOD install Win XP

  I recently bought the laptop above for use on astro photography.
  A lot of the software I use is 32 bit and XP to use so I thought that I could set up a dual boot on the laptop using Win 7 64 bit OS (pre-installed) for processing in CS5 after that I captured the images using XP Pro 32 bits of the image.

  I use XP Pro 32 bit to control the astronomical mount follow-up and to capture images of the Canon DSLR as they won't work on a more recent OS and most certainly will not work on 64-bit and will not work in compatibility or any virtual box modes.

  I started by cutting the main 50 GB partition and creating a new 50 GB partition to install XP Pro on and then tried to install XP Pro from the CD on the new partition. The initial back based races common installation ok with loaded drivers from the CD, but until the installation either by selecting the partition to install XP Pro system stops with a BSOD and I can only turn off the laptop.

  I would be grateful pointers for getting this working to dual boot, I realize that some of the features of the laptop will probably be lost under XP Pro but I don't need of work for you USB ports connect to external equipment to control system astro and then I can reboot in win7 OS.

  Best regards

  > Based initial backs racing common installation ok with the drivers loaded from the CD, but before the installation is by selecting the partition to install XP Pro system stops with a BSOD and I can only turn off the laptop.
  Please use the forum search option and search of SATA drivers and the installation of Win XP.
  There are a lot of discussions about this...

  The point is that new notebooks need driver SATA to reinstall the OS.
  Win 7 already includes new drivers SATA but Win XP doesn t.

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager you can download this from Intel page too.

  I used the program nLite to build a new Win XP CD that contains the SATA driver.

• Satellite A205-S6808 - Vista hangs during installation

  If please try to set the BIOS to the default settings and try to start installing recovery again. This PXE message occurs when the laptop can not find any device bootable and as a final attempt to use the LAN card.

  After changing the BIOS default settings to check please if the HARD drive is listed correctly in the BIOS on the first page.

  Never heard of this. You just start installation of recovery.

  After laptop start press F12 to view the menu options start. Place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive, choose DVD/CD from the list and press ENTER.

• Satellite A205-S6808 corrupt driver CD-ROM/DVD-ROM - Code 39

  The parade of device upward, but I get a message from missing or corrupt windows driver.
  I am running win 7 32 bit and the DVD drive is the same one that came installed when I bought the laptop.

  This is the message I get "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device.
  The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

  CAN ANYONE HELP?

  Hello

  I m a bit confused how you managed to download the CD/DVD driver for the STRANGE internal (optical disc).
  The point is that all Windows operating systems contain own driver Microsoft ODD that controls the CD/DVD drive.
  That is why it s not necessary to load/install the drivers for the CD/DVD drive.

  I think it s a registry problem.
  You should first go to Device Manager and should remove the CD/DVD of the system drive.

  Next step is cleaning the registry.
  Start regedit and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  After this restart of the unit
  Should work

  Welcome & good luck

  PS; It is a model of cell phone US and all the drivers are located on the Toshiba U.S. page.

• How to install windows 7 in dual boot on Satellite M840?

  Hello

  I've had this laptop M - 840 a week ago, pre-installed with windows 8. I can't replace the operating system with windows 7 as most of my Win 8 incompatible applications. I'm tired of clean install - does not work. I created a NTFS partition and tried to install win 7 on the new partition, but this isn't just beyond 'Windows startup screen. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

  Kind regards
  C4I - OPS

  >. I'm tired of clean install - does not work

  To install Windows 7 on the laptop of Win8, you must change some settings in the BIOS.
  First of all, you have to disable startup secure in the BIOS.
  Second pass of the UEFI BIOS for the CSM and save the changes.

  Now you should be able to install Win 7

  But before doing this, I recommend that you create the recovery media (Flash disk to USB memory or recovery Toshiba

  Hello!

  The drivers, you can download from the Toshiba site:

• Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
  The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
  Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

  I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
  Any comments?

  Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
  I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

  So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

  If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

• Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Dual boot with Ubuntu based distributions

  _ * My specifications: * _
  * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
  * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)

  I would like to set up my computer to dual boot with Windows 8.1 (x 64) and Zorin OS 9.1 (64-bit).

  ZORIN OS is a derivative of Ubuntu which maintains a binary compatibility with Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu and Zorin use the same drivers and can run the same applications. John Damascene is more or less just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment and some additional preinstalled applications.

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  NOTE: I prefer to do things using graphical interfaces, rather than the CLI. I don't mind given CLI instructions; also just showed me the GUI equivalents if possible. I use the CLI if there is no alternative.

  Hello

  See my responses / comments among your questions (I took part of your message and inserted here):

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  Answer: If you want to dual-boot, do NOT select WSC as preventing Windows to start.
  You shouldn't have to disable startup secure either, but I can't promise that. I think that Ubuntu 14 has support for secure boot.

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  Answer: No, I don't think that there is a way to use the SSD in Zorin without making it unusable for Windows.
  Suggestion - let it be.
