How to install Windows XP on Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 home edition?

I have Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 with Windows Vista, but I want to change to Windows XP.
When I try to copy in the blue window that I don't message none found disc.
I try to change in the BIOS but no hard drive selection.

How to change the IDE to copy windows xp?

On this forum, you will find a large number of discussions regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition on laptops as A200/P200 or A300/P300, at the request of nLite which can help you to install Windows on your laptop.
Use the advanced search on this forum and you will find a large number of them.
What you need is the SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.

I assume you want to change the settings in the advanced options of the BIOS SATA from AHCI to compatibility mode, right?

  • Do I need a special DVD to install windows on my Satellite A200?

    Hello

    I want to do a new install of windows 7 and erase the old partition Vista in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 13 M.
    Do I need a special DVD Toshiba (with some drivers to this topic perhaps...) or I can do it with a regular DVD of windows 7. The master boot record will automatically create when I install windows 7?
    Sorry for the newbie question, but I want to be 100% sure I'm not doing something wrong before deleting the partition my computer vista.

    Thanks for your help!

    Your laptop comes with Vista and with your laptop you have Vista recovery DVDs or a recovery mabe saved on the HARD disk image. I put t know exactly.

    To install Windows 7, you have original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc. You can not order original Toshiba Windows 7 for this old model of laptop recovery disk.

    Install Windows 7 using Microsoft disk. Install all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities one by one afterwards.

  • How to install Windows XP on Satellite A300-146?

    Hi all

    I need to know how can I install Windows XP on to my Toshiba Satellite A300-146 since I have windows vista with Arabic and this very bad.
    I heard in the laptop we have a SATA hard drive and the problems of British Colombia, who has not read the material.

    Also, I want to know how I can change vista from Arabic to English interface?

    How can configure LAN?

    Just a question;
    Did you go through this forum and simple threads on this topic before you posted this new topic?

    There is a lot of discussion on the installation of Win XP on laptops with SATA controller!
    The procedure is always the same on most portable models!

    You have 2 options; fade you assign compatible in the BIOS SATA mode and would not need to install the SATA drivers or you let the SATA AHCI mode and would include the SATA drivers using an external floppy drive you would have built a new disk Win XP using nLite software.

    PS: SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager!

  • How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1 to 9?

    Hello!

    first of all, sorry if I ask something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this questions... sorry for my English, I'm not native.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1 to 9 with Windows Vista preinstalled, but the thing is that I prefer Windows XP. I tried to install it, but it won't work.

    I read a lot of messages and comments on this topic in this forum and also in the web. The problem is that I don't know if the procedure and drivers to download are the same for all models L300. Mine is L300 1 to 9.

    Could someone give me a few extra simple instructions (I'm a beginner) on how solve this problem or a link to this question? I saw a lot of them, but none on this model L300 1 to 9.

    Thank you very much!!

    Hello!

    What do you mean with it doesn t work to install Windows XP?
    Please explain this!

    However, I think you forgot the SATA drivers. These drivers are required to install Windows XP, if your system is running in AHCI mode for better performance.
    The drivers, you can download the Toshiba site or on Intel:

    How to expel C format Vista?

    Any advice?

    Hello!

    What Windows XP disc do you have? Microsoft?

    Maybe you should do a HARD drive low level format. You can do it with some tools. Google will help you.
    I always use the Drive Fitness Test to do a low-level format:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

    But before you do, back up your data. The HARD drive will erase completely. Have you created a Toshiba Recovery disk? If this is not the case, to do this. Because when you want to reinstall Vista, you need this record.

    Bye!

  • How to install Windows 2000 on Equium A200-1VO?

    Hello

    Can someone help me?

    I would like to install Windows 2000 on the Toshiba Equium A200-1VO laptop, but I need the drivers to do this.
    I have tried the Toshiba web page but cannot find the drivers.

    Can someone please?

    Thank you

    You will not be the drivers because this Vista designed for laptop is not supported by this old operating system. Maybe you can find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition, but not for W2000.

    All you can do is search for the drivers on the net and hope you have success with it.
    I don't know why you would do this, but perhaps you should accept that at some point Toshiba must say stop and don't waste time with the support of the older operating system. I also believe that 0.01% people want to use this old operating system on new generation laptops.

    There is no sense to make support for W2000. What do you think about this?

  • I want to install Windows XP on Satellite A200 - 1 M 4

    I want to install windows xp A200 1 M 4...
    What do I do?

    Please answer my question.

    Hi hilalay

    In this forum, you will find hundreds of similar questions / answers
    I put t know what you want to know exactly, but the point is that your laptop A200 - 1 M 4 seems to belong to the series of PSAE0E.

    Choose this slot serial number form download if you need XP compatible drivers.

    The XP installation is not difficult. You must include the SATA driver in the XP CD. This is necessary in order to make the visible HARD drive and reinstall XP.

    [Check this way to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

    Finally, install all drivers Toshiba XP available and enjoy.

    By the way; the update of the BIOS XP would be desirable also because without BIOS XO some FN buttons will not work correctly.

  • Need help with installing Windows XP on Satellite A200 PSAE6

    I have labtop Satellite A200 (PSAE6)

    http://www6.0ZZ0.com/2008/02/11/11/343785725.gif

    Help!

    Well, the BSOD is a serious problem, but I think that it could be solved easily.

    You must update the BIOS to version XP!
    At the moment European Toshiba page pilot provides a v.5.30 - WIN XP BIOS.

    Then, you must include the storage for the XP installation manager because this SATA driver is required to recognize the HARD drive. Without the SATA driver (Intel Storage Manager) the XP will not see the HARD drive!

    Good luck

  • How to install Windows 8 on Satellite C855-21W - no disc

    Hello

    Recently my C855-21W SATELLITE HARD drive crashed. All the clothes of lost data.
    Series: YC273011R

    Now, I would like to reinstall Windows 8.
    But I have no CD /DVD and all partitions on the HARD disk are parties.

    How can I reinstall Win 8 on the laptop again?
    Where can I get a DVD?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's a shame but the HARD drive can still start to dysfunction and, therefore, it s advisable to create a recovery disc before you start using the laptop.

    However, now you can create the recovery disk because the files are lost.
    Now, you have two options:

    (1) you can install the Windows 8 using Microsoft Win 8 disk (you will need to buy 8 win if you n t have it). The essential Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page

    (2) the second option is much easier: you could order the Toshiba recovery from this page http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disk and will mark the laptop back to the factory settings.

  • Satellite A505-S6922 - how to install Windows 7 drivers?

    I have an A505-S6992 and I try to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate. I created the recovery with drivers and applications disc. In what order should I install and how to install Windows 7 ultimate?

    I tried to install by going just to the bottom of the list of applications/drivers, but has encountered an error.

    I think that the order of the facilities must be similar or even the same as on Vista.
    After the clean install of Win7 continue with:
    Chipset
    Robson driver
    Display driver
    Audio driver
    LAN
    Touch Pad Driver
    Card reader
    TOSHIBA software modem
    Wireless LAN driver
    Chicony camera software
    Bluetooth stack
    Port driver
    TOSHIBA Value Added Package
    TOSHIBA hardware configuration utility
    TOSHIBA supervisor password
    TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support utility
    TOSHIBA SD Memory utilities
    AuthenTec fingerprint utility
    TOSHBA face recognition
    TOSHIBA ConfigFree
    TOSHIBA WPS library
    TOSHIBA Assist
    TOSHIBA Speech System
    CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer
    TOSHIBA TRS driver
    HDMI Control Manager
    Of course, it is order facilities Vista and maybe you won't find listed some stuff on the page to download, but at least you can see how it should be installed.
    Next week, I'll get my new Satellite A500 and I'll test the Win7 installation.

    Please let me know if you will be able to install it with success.

    Good luck!
