How can I install Win XP on Vista on a Satellite A200-1YO

How to install raid/scsi drivers and get rid of Vista for good?

You will need

-1 USB external floppy drive
-2 diskettes
-1 set of drivers for the hard disk on the computer
-a legal copy of windows xp pro

WHAT TO DO WITH THE DISKS.

COPY THE DRIVERS DON'T CUT AND PASTE

-get DISC 1 and place the required disk drivers, they did not all folders
-get DISC 2 and make a folder called $OEM$ and in that folder make another called TEXTMODE then in this folder insert the drivers you have in disc 1

Installation of the drivers and windows xp pro
-When windows asks you press F6 to install the raid drivers press F6
- then enter the floppy drive DISK1
-When it prompts you to press "s" to install the raid and storage controllers...
-Press "s" again and press enter on the same raid driver, you just tell windows to use
-windows will then say that he already has drivers for the raid controller
-Press the button appropriate to tell windows you want it to use own disks instead of windows drivers
-After loading drivers remove the disk
-Wait for windows to ask you once again the drivers then insert DISC 2
- and finally, windows install vista WENT you need drivers for any hardware of your computer system, but they should be easy to get from the manufacturers website

I used this method and it worked with a Toshiba laptop satellite a200 1yo with no problems

Please leave comments to let other users know how you got and to show that it works.

    How can I install win xp on U300-150 / model: PSU30e

    I try to start from the CD Win XP SP2, but don't can't detect any HARD disk.

    How can I do?

    There is no option in the bios to support SATA or IDE

    Please help me

    Hey Buddy

    You won't find any IDE or SATA settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver that is needed to install the XP on this laptop.

    Intel Matrix Storage Manager is the key!
    The storage manager should be included in the Windows XP operating system during the installation process using the F6 key.
    On the other hand, you could include the Storage Manager using the free app called nLite.

    Looking for a little to this forum. There are enough discussions and comments about this theme.

  • How can I install win 8 and win 7 on the same machine

    I am running Win 7 Ultimate and want to install Win 8 Pro as an additional operating system without remove Win 7 and then have the ability to boot to one of the OS.

    One possibility would be to run Windows 8 as VM on Windows 7, although it may not give the best experience.

    Otherwise you're going to need another partition or another drive to install Windows 8 on. If you're talking about a laptop, then additional disks options are few but for a desktop computer, it is by far the best option.

    Provide the original disc is not full shrink the current C: partition to create the ability for Windows 8 must be installed on the empty space is not so difficult, that's exactly what I did with my Acer Touch PC to allow me to test Windows 8 and it worked perfectly (no space for another drive). I could even point Windows 8 at the partition of Windows 7 to search for drivers for the unidentified material, and all have been resolved.

  • Re: How can I improve the performance of Vista on a Satellite L30-10s?

    I have worked in Vista on a Satellite L30 - 10s for a while and get very poor performance. It takes several seconds just to respond to the movement of the scroll bar. I put Control Plan-> system and Maintenance... System Properties-> visuals to "Adjust for best performance", but it gave no noticeable improvement. The RAM is 446 MB - upgraded this would improve performance? If so, what would the good do & spec to buy?

    > It RAM is 446 MB - upgraded this would improve performance?

    Of course, it is not enough to run vista with good performance. 1 GB minimum Ram required to run Vista, better than 2 GB ram

    To the l30 product specifications:

    standard: 256 MB
    maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
    technology: DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)

    You can be upgraded up to 2 GB DDR 2

  • Can I install 4 GB of RAM in a Satellite A200-1VP?

    Bought a 1VP A200 a few weeks ago and I think you, she might benefit from a bit more RAM. I am aware that under vista 32 bit I Wona? t have access to all 4 GB, but all I could win would be a bonus (3.5 GB?) 4 GB can be installed in my notebook with no problems?

    And just out of curiosity is the scalable processor? Highly doubt id end up doing but would be nice to know?

    I hope someone can help

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can install 4 GB on this machine, it can recognize only about 3.5 GB due to system resource requirements.

  • How can I install Russian keyboard on Vista Home Premium?

    When I bought this HP laptop a few years ago I had no problem affecting up to switch between English and Russian of the taskbar. I have the music and the text of the files with names in Cyrillic.

    When my computer would not start, I took it to a reputable store where they have replaced the hard drive, operating system, etc., and they copied all my files on the new drive. The files with the names of Russsian appear as question marks for each character. I called the repair shop and they said that they have installed the operating system my computer is certified for, and I needed to upgrade to install Russian.

    I just want the ability to read and write in Russian. I want etc. dialog boxes to appear in English. I could do this before. Why can't I do it now?

    Thanks for your help.

    S.K.

    Hello

    because you must set the operating system to display correctly and was able to write in Russian - this might help (I think VISTA might be defined as well as WIN7):

  • How can I install the 2nd HDD on my Satellite P200 - 14H

    Hello
    I want to know, how can I install the 2nd hard disk on my Satellite P200 - 14H and what I have to buy, because when I open the 2nd hdd slot, so I don't see anything about what I could add the 2nd disc

    Thanks, Filip

    Hello

    Maybe you don't see the second HARD drive connectors because the phone does not support the 2nd HARD drive?
    Not all laptops even if the 2nd HARD drive Bay is available, support two hard drives.
    Laptops come with different hardware and different motherboards, but with the same coverage
    So the bays for HARD drives are available, but the motherboard does not support the 2nd HARD drive interface.

    On my Vista op system, I strongly use Windows Movie Maker. On my laptop Win.7 op system I have that Win. LIVE Movie Maker which is frankly junk. How can I install windows Movie Maker on my os. Win. 7?

    The big question is why MS took a good (not perfect), Windows Movie Maker for Vista and group a lot less - than to win. Live Movie Maker?

    For your information, Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is just a "water-down" version designed for computers cannot run the built-in Windows Movie maker 6.0

    Windows Movie maker 6.0 comes with Vista.
    2.6 MM Windows does not come with Vista. It is not a 'new' program. It is a compromise version.
    Excerpt from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=34
    Overview

    Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista's Movie Maker version.

    To test whether your computer can run Vista's Movie Maker version:

    1. on the start menu, click all programs.
    2. click on Windows Movie Maker.

    If Movie Maker starts, you must not download version 2.6.

    If you get an error message that says: "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6.

    .............................................................................................................................................

    Windows Live Movie Maker is better, contrary to what you feel. Maybe, you're just not used to it?

    How can you install version 2.6? Go to the net.

  • Qosmio F50: How can I install Vista Business

    I recently bought qosmio f50 and it came with the home edition of vista...

    I need to install Vista professional.
    How can I do?
    I have to format it?
    So how do I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I have problems with my laptop if I do this?

    Hello

    The Vista installation is not difficult.
    He just put the Vista disk in the STRANGE and then start from the disc.
    The installation will start automatically.

    But this will format your HARD drive and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.

    > How can I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I guess you have a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    If you want to retrieve the OS installed by Toshiba, then you need to use the Toshiba Recovery for recovery disk.

    PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask because 108 F is not known to me

    You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.

    Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.
