How to install new XP Pro on the new SATA HDD based on 2007 Toshiba satellite computer laptop (has no floppy drive) that came with Vista on the original HARD drive?
I bought XP Pro of Circuit City when they were going out of business and never installed on anything.
Access the Tishiba support web site and search for Windows XP drivers for your specific model number.
Tishiba Support: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=Windows7
If there are Windows XP drivers then you know that you are modeling supports XP. Now download each driver in a folder, burn them on a CD and all install after installing XP, starting with the card drivers mother/chipset, SATA, USB, Audio, LAN, Etc., and so on.

Hello rich trew,.
Just to make sure that you understand it, some manufacturers of computers such as HP, Dell, Sony and gateway in the past have offered free software and operating systems. Microsoft Works was part of your first computer, but this has been the manufacturer of the computer. This has led people to believe that it is always included as part of the Windows operating systems. They included Microsoft Works, Roxio Easy CD Creator, Adobe Reader just name a few.
Microsoft let computer makers bundle what they want, when they sell their OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) computers. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the computer what to offer and has nothing to do with the operating system of Microsoft.
Thank you

Impossible to install XP on a 9200 that came with Vista
With so many problems with Vista with own MS software and I want to install XP on it. Have a new drive ard of Seagate Barracuda that I might as well keep the Vista disc in case it improves.
However when I booted the CD XP2 home installation he loaded the original installation files and then says that the PC will have to shut down to protect it. Suggested looking for viruses and remove all material or new hard disks. I unplugged all readers secondary peripheral USB etc. Dell tell me that I do not violate my warranty and that the 9200 should run XP but cannot help in addition.
Examined the installer and it is configured to RAID only, but the VISTA disc should do a long to itself repair after I tried the RAID Autodetect / ATA option that seemed a solution possible.

Lost all the games that came with vista
I have a Vista Home Premium on an HP laptop. Earlier this week free cell began acting strange, now I can not find my games in the Games folder. I looked at the other issue and followed the advice to ensure that the games have been checked (they are). I restored to a point when I knew that Free Cell worked properly for me (used a restore 4 days ago point: a system checkpoint). Also did a full restore of the computer about (because of driver problem with the touchpad) 8 days ago. I don't have a copy of vista, as the hp computer asks me to do the restore DVD.
On my other computer (built) that uses vista the same thing happened, a few days ago. I followed the advice on the forums. This time I unchecked the box features Windows, restarted, recheck the boxes and loaded the game from the disc, rebooted again, and they did not always show up.
I am running AV on the two computer (KASPERSKY), the laptop has no other third party programs other than the full restore hp programs, I have not loaded in the files (images, music, office files). The Office has a few games (lotro/ddo) and some third party programs (ccleaner, firefox, ventrio and Skype). All the software on both computers are updated, and Vista is updated to SP2.
I'm at a lost on what to do next.Hi RedRocket88,
Am really sorry to hear that the built-in games do not work.
Please, try the following steps:
1. click on the Start button
2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories
3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option
4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option.
5. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter
Once its finished, restart the computer and check with the games, also try to reinstall them using programs and features and check what is happening.

Install Windows 7 Pro on the second HARD drive located in Optibay
Hello
I have a 2009 15 "MacBook Pro C2D 2.66 with 8 GB of ram and a 480 GB SSD as my main drive. I will be to install a secondary HARD drive in the optical Bay. I want a 250 GB partition for a boot camp and 750 GB partition which can be read by OS X and Windows. 750Go partition will be used mainly on the side of the OS X to store photos, movies, music and documents but would be like training camp to access incase I need a file or two. I have already twisted boot camp to allow a windows usb installation and wonder what to do next steps are. I have read several forums and it's possible but instructions on the forums seem to be a specific user. Thanks in advance.
1. on your specific Mac, windows should be on the main drive Bay. It will be also problems to start.
2. do not modify the Info.plist Bootcamp and try the USB installation. You spend hours trying and it will fail.
3. you must use the internal optical drive, integrated to install Windows on the main drive Bay.
4. Once Windows is installed and fully functional, you can then replace the Optibay drive.
5. do not throw your optical drive. If you need to repair Windows, you will need to return to the standard hardware configuration.
6. you can have problems even under normal circumstances with a dual Setup, so be prepared for adventures in such a configuration.

You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.
1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
a copy (or a license) for each computer.There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer). -
Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?
Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.
Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

Hi all.
I'm started to get really desperate here! I just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (as the laptop comes with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), I get a blue screen of the STOP just as the installation application reached the phase "the installation program starts Windows! The STOP message says something about a file named "pci.sys".
I don't know what the problem is or how to install XP Pro! It should be so simple! I even tried the SATA drivers from intel and load the Windows XP Pro install the program installation (F6) with a floppy, but I always get the same blue screen at the same stage of the installation.
Can someone help me please? Can someone explain how to install Win XP Pro on this laptop?
Thank you very much in advance! I'm really really freak out with this
Octavio.Hello
Did you get this error message?
"stop error 0x7E in Pci.sys".I found information on the Microsoft site that you need the latest Microsoft service pack.

I bought the adobe reader from adobe but installed standard first pro. now, the 'pro' trial has expired and I can't use the "standard" functions How can I solve this in order to use Adobe Standard - one that I bought?
Hi Jodie,
There is no standard to pro versions of Adobe Reader.
You have downloaded the Acrobat version which is paid instead of Adobe Reader software.
As the trial has expired, then you won't be able to use it unless you have purchased the product.
However, you can download Adobe Reader for free using this link Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions.
Kind regards

I want to re install with a clean sheet. I have install, but my old catalog loads again. How do I delete catalog and where it is stored. I lost some of the media that came with my drive by accident so I need to re install
HI ATR
Just update you 13 windows 7 items... I sat until midnight and found the program data and ended up finding the catalog. I deleted the catalog now. and uninstalled items 13. I hope that when I reinstall it will be like new, and I can go back again. I had messed up I saw when viewing the photos in the media, it was media files and thought they shouldn't be there so I deleted them. Maybe thinking about now I get an error. Before, I made a slideshow with the media from the drive. I just started using elements 13 I used windows live previously for videos. Can you let me know also what photoshop elements or first, you use the most. Also if I import video files in why do I see them I think of thumbnails. That's where I went wrong and thinking, they shouldn't be here. I brought a few books and trying to go through the learning process. What camera do you use? Many questions sorry. Thanks for any help.
