  • How to remove Satellite PSU44E U400 Vista and install Win XP

    Because a large part of my specialized software is designed to work with XP pro, I need to remove my U400 of Vista Home Premium and install XP Pro. As others have found with other models Toshiba simply placing XP disc in the DVD drive results in "dreaded blue screen" with error 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, etc) and correctly configured hard drive reviews / looking for the virus/run Chdsk/F to check corruption.

    Change drive HARD BIOS from AHCI to compatibility mode allows to XP disk load and run as "Press ENTER to load XP" but pressing 'Enter' does nothing; other keys have no effect either and the only way I found is to press on the On / Off button. Re change from "AHCI" to "Compatibility" there are also a lot of comments on other users for suggesting that using compatibility mode makes it much slower than the AHCI mode disk access. However, despite searching the Web using Tosh HDD not registered model (MK3252GSX) I can't find a driver XP ATA to nLite XP before trying again.

    Can someone tell me a procedure they used to remove Vista and replace it with XP Pro on you U400 PSU44E please?

    Hello

    I have a U400 and I ve installed Win XP on my baby with no problems.

    There are two options; either you'll assign compatible SATA mode (in BIOS), or you leave the option in AHCI mode and will include the SATA drivers that are part of the Intel Storage Manager.
    Intel Storage Manager can be downloaded from the Toshiba page (you can find it in the category U400).

    I managed to include the SATA drivers with nLite and everything worked as it should.
    PS; Win XP should include min. SP2!

  • How do I uninstall Satellite L300 - 11 q Vista and install Windows XP

    Hello!

    Please help: How do I uninstall Windows Vista from my laptop and install Windows XP?
    Should I do something with discs and seized BIOS, or I can just format C drive and then install XP CD-drive?

    How can I make a recovery disk before you uninstall Vista?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    It's very easy if you want to get rid of Vista simply boot from the Windows XP CD, format the HARD drive and install XP on partition C instead of Vista.
    That s it.

    I put t know what laptop have you but the laptop most recent are equipped with the SATA controller and the SATA driver must be installed or included in the CD of Win XP to install XP on the HARD drive. The SATA driver is part of the Manger of Intel Matrix Storage, which can be downloaded from the Intel site or page of the Toshiba driver.

    Just FYI; in this forum, you can find a lot of details in the various messages on the Intel storage Manger. Just use the search option.

    Good bye

  • remove old laptop windows vista and install on a new

    I have a genuine license of windows vista family premium on my old laptop, I got the cd of vista with the old box to laptop dell, I got a new laptop with free back, I want to format my old laptop and sell and install windows vista on my new I read that once windows has been activated it is no longer usable on another computer unless it's an edition of retail and mine is OEM.

    is it possible to remove the license filed the old laptop and save it to the new laptop? or is there something else I can do? or have one to sell the old laptop with vista cd?

    Thank you Walter to be clear and try to help. I appreciate it. (I thought that my request was slightly different to the original post, so I stretched a hope).

    So if my hard drive crashes, I also have to buy Windows again. How Microsoft get away with this _? There was none of this information at the point of sale.

    Hey fingercuts

    No to the last question

    If your drive hard breaks down in the old compaq laptop from hp, you can contact hp compaq and get them to send you a set of vista recovery disks to reinstall vista on a new hard drive install you in the old laptop that you already purchased your license for this old laptop vista

    they do normally for somewhere between 20-$40

    and you are allowed to replace a hard drive of your machine and also to replace ram

    I hope it clears up a little bit for you

    also I wish you a great festive season

    Merry Christmas

    Hi somali.cc,

    / 3GB is fine. Once you have installed Microsoft Virtual PC and start creating a virtual machine only allocate 1 GB of memory for the virtual machine. This will give you then 1 GB for XP and the other 2 GB for your Vista system.

    Here is the download link for Virtual PC 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en

  • Is it possible to save Vista and install XP?

    I'm tired of all the bugs with windows Vista, can I back up my files and install xp and use files saved with XP?

    One of the reasons I want to reinstall an OS because my HDD is damaged, my bar of loading at the beginning of windows always hangs and I have to restart my computer several times before it works.

    Because I reinstall an OS anyway, I want to go back to windows XP. If this is possible. Thank you

    Simply copy your files on a CD or a Flash drive.

    You can not copy installed programs; they must be reinstalled.

    Installation of XP instead of Vista:

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

    Then, buy a XP disk and license if you do not have the XP license.

    Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

    Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  • How to format Vista and install Xp on Satellite P300?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite P300-1GQ with Vista Home Premium installed.
    But now I want to format the drive and put a new installation of Windows XP on it. I have my XP CD, I start it s loading the files and when it ends and says windows starts now so I can start to format and then install a new windows it gives me a blue screen saying windows found problems and stopped.

    It says to check the hard drive or a virus and try again. I did a lot of time checking everything, but nothing has changed. My windows locked and I can't get in shape? Question: How can I format them?

    Everyone please help. My CD of Windows XP Home edition works well I checked it if it s not my drive he owes me something on the laptop? Any ideas?

    You are using Windows XP Home SP2 installations CD edition?
    You have loaded the SATA drivers?

    One more thing: before you start the installation of Windows XP Home edition, did you create a Vista recovery media?

  • Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

    I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

    I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
    I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
    I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

    Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

    Hello!

    I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

    Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

    According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

    Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
    In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

    I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
    Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)
