• Satellite L355-S7907 - how downgrade from Vista to XP?

  Hello

  I recently bought the Satellite L355-S7907 and do not like Vista I want to run Windows XP Service Pack 2 on it. Now I tried several methods, first start XP from CD, it loads for a few minutes then I get the blue screen of death, by saying that I should run ' CHKDISK F.
  I ran check disk and my my hard drive is fine.

  The other method I've tried is partition my hard drive then when Vista is on trying to install XP on the new partition. Vista allows me to install on a partition, because "Windows on your computer is newer than the version on CD.

  What should I do here? I don't like Vista and I'd love to have XP working on this laptop.

  Any help much appreciated

  Hello

  Downgrade from Vista to XP isn t possible. Therefore, you must make a clean and new Windows XP installation. You wrote that you get a BSOD if you start from XP disc, what code BSOD is it exactly?

  I guess you only need drivers SATA to install XP. Have you installed them?
  In addition I recommend read the discussions here in the forum about it. You'll have hundreds of them! ;)

  This series needs a BIOS update after installing XP.
  The European driver Toshiba page provides a special version of Win XP BIOS.

  This document provides the proper installation order which is very important to get all the drivers and tools work properly.

• How downgrade from Vista Home Premium to Vista Home Basic

  Original title: I tried to upgrade Vista Home Basic to home premium how to uninstall and restore my previous settings on my laptop in my Home Basic

  How can I delete what I've installed and return to my Home Basic

  Hello
   
  1. Why did you downgrade to Vista Home Basic?
  2. how upgrade from Home Premium?
  3 did you use Windows Anytime Upgrade to upgrade?
  4. do you have the basic install of Vista Home Edition support?
   
  You cannot revert to a previous version after you upgrade, the only option you have is to clean install Home Basic. I suggest you back up your data on an external drive or another computer and do a clean install using the installation of Vista Edition family media Basic.

• Satellite Pro A200GE how downgrade from Vista to XP?

  Hello

  I had Satellite Pro A200GE with Windows Vista Business Edition preinstalled in it.

  Am not really satisfied with Windows Vista and I would like to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.

  I don't have a CD to install Windows XP Professional, but don't know how to install it on a Vista machine.

  I tried to boot my Vista laptop on this XP disc but no joy...

  Is there another way to install XP on the computer before installing vista?

  or I have to buy any disc retailer downgrade?

  Any help appreciated

  Thank you
  Vishal

  You can install XP on this laptop. As you say you have to boot from the XP CD to install it on the HARD drive.

  But maybe your OS doesn't see the HARD internal disk? In this case, you need to install the SATA driver first. The Manager of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager includes the SATA driver. Intel Matrix Storage manager can be downloaded from the Intel Web site.

  During the installation of Win XP, it must use the F5 key to include the SATA driver from an external FDD drive (floppy).

  If you don t have an external USB FDD then you can use the program called nLite.
  For more information, I recommend goggling for nLite software.

  Hello

  You n t need a serial number, if you install the operating system on a disk from Toshiba. It s already configured.

• Satellite L300 - 03C - how downgrade from Vista to XP?

  How do I get help please

  Hello

  What BSOD you get exactly?

  Satellite L300, you need SATA drivers to install Windows on a drive of Microsoft because it s equipped to a SATA HDD. The driver you need you can find in the Intel Storage Manager package on the Toshiba site.

  If you don t have an external floppy drive you can use nLIte to create your own with these drivers installation disk.

• Downgrade from vista to XP Satellite U205-S5057

  Hey,.

  I have the U205-s5057 and I don't want the vista more :-(

  I want to downgrade vista to XP.

  How can I do? where I can find all the drivers for XP (I have only vista drivers and the drive recovery vista...)

  I have XP PRO SP3

  Thank you

  Satellite U205-s5057 seems to be designed for the American market and to the United States from Toshiba should therefore be responsible for the release of the pilot.

  The user above has already posted a link to the Toshiba page we.
  Usually, pilots should be released there.

  A single note; the A205 and other series of portable latest support new SATA HDD controller.
  This controller needs a driver that allows to recognize the HARD drive during the installation of XP.

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
  This storage manager can be downloaded from Intel or the Toshiba page page.

  You will need to reformat. Boot from the XP cd (you must change the boot on the CD drive in the BIOS).

  This will remove everything in Vista. So, if you decide to reinstall XP, copy / save (you can not copy programs, you will need to reinstall them), what you want first. Because you will not get it back after

  If you don't have your own copy of Windows XP that you do not use on another machine, you will need to find someone who will sell you a. This must be a full retail do not copy the recovery disc that distribute computer with preinstalled Windows systems manufacturers. This will be limited to a particular machine. You will also need to go to drivers and downloads from the HP Web site and check if HP provide XP drivers for your model. If they are not, you will have problems of implementation.

  Hello!

  Downgrade from Vista to XP isn't very difficult and it should be possible that you can do yourself.

  You need at least one drive in Microsoft Windows XP with SP2. Boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. But you need the SATA drivers, the computer can recognize the HARD drive. For drivers, you need Intel Storage Manager, which can be downloaded on the site of Toshiba and this is workaround step by step how to do this:

  If you have installed XP, you must install all the drivers and tools for this. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba site:

  Hello

  A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
  But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
  AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.

• Satellite L300 PSLB8A - cannot locate the WLan adapter after downgrading from Vista to XP

  Model - L300 Satellite PSLB8A-01F004
  Australian model
  Place of residence current UK

  Happy new year to you all. I have a problem with the adapter wireless following a downgrade from Vista to XP Pro home. Device Manager indicates that a network adapter, which is the LAN and it does not work properly.

  I have two points with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

  I find all the major engines of the Toshiba Australia but he lists three (I think) site possible WLAN - Atheros, RealTek, and one of the other manufacturers.

  I tried all three without success but am willing to acknowledge that I can have a mistake, perhaps by installing all three drivers at the same time for example.

  The indicator on the front of the box portable wireless lights on or off with the hard switch setting.

  I am also unable to locate the display of all available wireless netrworks, this can be a symptom of the driver is not installed.

  I tried to locate the wireless card, but it doesn't seem to be accessible through the background panels, including the Panel of RAM module.

  Any ideas please?

  > I have two Articles with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

  The Ethernet controller is the WLAN adapter.
  I guess that the WLan driver is missing and so the wireless network card does not appear under network adapters
