How can I install windows XP on my Satellite A300-129

Hello

Since a few days, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-129. I am very satisfied with the laptop, although I do not work with Vista, so I prefer the laptop reformat and install Windows XP Professional(32 or 64 bits, dunno yet).

However I do not know if I have to do something special for him, because it's my first laptop I have and I haven't had that one time a laptop with drivers on a CD. Now I'm spending operating system, I think I need some disk driver for my webcam and stuff like that.

I hope some1 can help me :)

Thank you very much

BTW, I'm Dutch, sorry for my English.

> And I have a legitimate XP Pro license, but I n t understand what you mean with the things of the sata driver. do you mean that I have to ADD the drivers on the disk with windows XP?

The point is that your Windows XP CD does not contain the SATA drivers that are needed to recognize the HARD drive during XP installation procedure.
So, you need to include the SATA driver by pressing the F6 key while installing XP is loading. For this procedure, an external floppy drive unit is necessary.

If you n t have an external USB FDD drive, then you could create a CD of Win XP and could include the SATA drivers using the free software called nLite.

A single note; Use the search function of the forums for research on other threads on the nLite and how to create CDs. I remember that there are many discussions in the forum on this topic.

See you soon

  • How can I install Windows 8 of my 1.5 TB external harddrive without formatting?

    Well I finally decided to move to Windows 8 (starting from Windows 7 x 64), but I'm stuck in a weird situation here...  I image .iso Windows 8 with me but I will not be burn on a DVD, the only option would be either use a USB key or an external HARD disk... Unfortunately my 16 GB USB DRIVE no longer works (and the .iso image file does not in my other USB drives I had remaining)... So I decided to use my drive external HARD on the contrary - but there's another problem... about 750 GB on my HARD drive is full (there are all my files, movies, music, games, etc) and the rest is 'empty '...

    So, how can I install Windows 8 of this external HARD drive without formatting? Since I don't have any other "spare" hard drives or USB keys with a lot more storage capacity...  And I can't keep them in my laptop because it has only 500 GB...

    Can I partition my external HARD drive and secure all my files in one partition, and format the other partition to use it to install Windows 8 on my laptop somehow...?

    You can create a partition on your HARD drive and install Windows inside with Universal USB Installer
    Here's how you create a new Partition
    • Open disk management
    • Right click on the partition that you want to split > Shrink > select size > Ok
    • Unallocated space will appear
    • Right-click on > Format give a letter

    OR you can install windows on a different partition from your internal HARD drive

    You can create a partition in the internal drive and extract files inside Windows and make it bootable with EasyBCD (3rd party free program to change startup options and other things)
    • Create a new partition using disk management
    • Extract the files to install Windows inside
    • Open EasyBCD > add new item > WinPE > search for X:\Sources\boot.wim > add
    • Reboot and choose the new element added to the startup in
    I used this method once and it worked

  • How can I install Windows 8 on a USB?

    I downloaded and installed Windows 8 on a virtual machine, and virtual machine software refuses to let go of my 3D display driver, not allowing not my laptop switch to 3D mode (has a 3d screen) until after I reload.

    How can I install Windows 8 on a USB key, that way I can start directly in this USB?

    When I run Setup of the computer windows 7, it wants to install Windows just 8 and does not have the ability to install on USB. When I run the Setup program on Windows 8 VM, he just wants to do the same, install Win8 on the virtual machine and does not give the option to choose a disk to install on.

    I can make the USB bootable and have put the image ISO of Windows 8 on it, and start since that does not allow me to install on the USB stick (player 1, it only shows drive C: (disk 0) on the laptop).

    I would like to have windows 8 bootable from the USB key, so it wouldn't mess up my windows 7 current computer until I can get everything fully backed up and have more time to play with it.

    You can not, Windows 8 must be installed on an internal hard drive attached. Only Windows 8 Enterprise supports Windows To Go that allows you to create a portable copy of Windows 8 on a USB key. Windows 8 Enterprise Edition is only available to volume license customers.

  • Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p

    Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p?

    .. .thx for any info and/or messages...

    Hello

    Just to clarify something:

    -If you want to install Windows XP Home edition, but do not change the BIOS settings (leave it in AHCI mode) at the beginning of the procedure of facilities you must load a SATA driver by pressing F6. That's only way to install Windows XP Home edition with success
    -You can install WXP without driver SATA, but you must change the compatibility settings. Everything works fine, but if you change the settings on back ACHI you get BSOD every time when you try to start Windows XP Home edition

    If you want to install the SATA driver please install WXP if you use SATA starts the driver before installing Windows XP Home edition.

    Hello

    First you need to download xp drivers: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Second, you must create the floppy or custom installation CD of Windows XP with integrated storage drivers. the custom installation CD, you can use Nlite http://www.nliteos.com/. There are guides in different languages, so you won't have a problem to create a. Don't forget it will have to include "Storage drivers", without them, Setup does not recognize the hard drive.
    Third install XP :)

    But be aware, you may encounter some problems, as audio doesn't work do not (updated Windows XP specific need or Service pack 3), some Fn keys not working do not, some unrecognized hardware and so on... You really have to patient when installing XP on new laptops. So good luck

    (Tip: download all readers and store it because it is quite possible that the LAN/WAN connection will not work without a driver)

    Of course you can do it.
    You can install Win 7 If you want to.
    First, go to the BIOS (press F2 during boot)
    In the BIOS disable secure boot with UEFI MSC mode.
    Save the changes and now you could boot from Win 7 disc and could launch the installation.

    But just a note: you read the operating instructions and to create the recovery disk before installing what anyone on the laptop. The recovery disc helps you return to Win 8 in case you want to use again!
