  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

• 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 Vista and install XP SP2 on Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop

  I bought a laptop Inspiron-1545 Dell in 2009.

  It has Vista and Office 2007.

  I recently got admitted to a course where they r with Windows XP and Office 2003 in their program.

  So I need to downgrade my OS from Vista to XP.

  Thanks for giving me tips for this in details.

  (My Dell warranty period is over).

  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

• 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!

• 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.

• Remove win 8 and install win 7

  I bought a new computer I have fried the old he came with win 8 I want to format the new HDD and install win 7 I have the os install disk

  I bought a new computer I have fried the old he came with win 8 I want to format the new HDD and install win 7 I have the os install disk

  Hello

  You are missing the important information in your Question; which is where did you get the Windows 7 disc as you mention a computer "fried".

  If it is the 'fried' computer and came pre-installed on it, read on:

  If the computer/laptop 'fry' came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  __________________________________________________

  If it's a retail Windows 7 disk, you use, before trying to install it on Windows 8.1 computer, find Windows 7 drivers:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  See you soon.

  NOTE: We suggest to install the application on the primary drive however, you can configure the destination of installation of in creative cloud application preferences. Please note that there will always be shared resources stored on your primary drive. In addition when installing temporary process files will also be created on your main drive.
