• How to install XP on Satellite L40 - 14N

  OK when I got this laptop for Christmas had installed vista
  I would install Xp
  Read only a few threads on here, but can't have it installed. I have read that I need a floppy drive. So went out and bought a USB floppy drive to the drivers.
  I thought I'd need on diskette.

  Now what happens is I press f6 for the SATA drive and press S when asked.
  It gives me a driver option so I say yes installs a bit more, then asked the driver again and I press on enter and nothing happens.

  Any help please?
  Read somewhere I can have to integrate but don't know how.

  Doug's soon

  Hello

  Floppy drive is not necessary only for the drivers but for Storage Manager. Please download and extract all the files there. Later, when the WXp is installed you can download all the drivers directly in Windows XP Home edition and start the installation.

  Please download Installations instructions document and install all the stuff following this order of installations.
  Good luck!

  Insert your WinXP installation disc, exit the autorun if it appears.

  Start nLite, click Next on the start screen. Tell him where is your CD. It will ask you to tell him where to cache the files to. You can simply use a folder like C:\XP-temp\ for this.

  On the predefined settings screen, click Next again. Now click the button drivers, as well as the "Bootable ISO" button, then click on "next".

  On drivers screen, click Insert, and then several driver's record. NLite to the location where you extracted the drivers slipstream, such as C:\Drivers-temp\ and click OK.

  In the select several drivers to integrate the window you will need to highlight the path to the Summit (for example, C:\Drivers-temp\) by clicking on it once, and then click OK.

  In the window driver in Textmode integration Options integration options highlight the entire list by clicking once on the top element, then shift-click once on the background element. With this list still highlighted, click OK at the bottom.

  Now, you will need boot up your laptop on this disc. In order to be able to boot from the CD, we must first make a couple of quick changes in the BIOS of the laptop computers. In the BIOS, you will need to make sure that the first boot device is the DVD - RW drive.

  NOTE: Make sure you backup all your data before continuing, because the next step will erase everything.

  Restart the laptop with your new XP cd inserted, after it is started, the windows installer will ask you where you want to install Windows XP to: follow the prompts to delete all existing partitions, and then follow the prompts to create a new partition and install Windows XP to that. You can choose the "quick format" to speed things up.

  Follow the rest of the messages guides for windows in the usual manner.

  This solution was made to another mobile phone manufacturer but I just filled where it considers that Toshiba.

  You will need the drivers for your system ready when XP complete installation, so be sure to download before starting all this and make a CD, you can use them again. Most chipsets Intel a driver for XP on Intels homepage.

  What about Atheros, then you can find the drivers here: http://www.atheros.cz/

  Many of the drivers of Toshiba Vista driver package runs on XP, just read the readme file or the inf file.

  If you have any questions then let me know.

• How to install WinXP on Satellite L40-139?

  Einf.
  I can't install Windows XP Home edition on my laptop.

  If i press a key to start to install for a view very short time just "Setup inspects the hardware configuration of your computer' and then nothing happened.

  Have someone some practice with it?

  I assume you are using Microsoft WXP CD installations. Am I wrong? Is the visible HARD disk when you start the process facilities?

  I found a few topics on similar problems. As in the other thread suggested that you must first install an Intel Matrix Storage Manager before you continue the installation of XP. The installation is very easy. During the installation process you must press F6 to include the Intel Matrix storage manager from an external USB FDD drive.

  After this instillation please don t HARD drive format but continue installing XP

• Re: How to install HDD on Satellite L300-19Y?

  Hi guys

  I'm not too good with computers but have bought a new HARD drive for my L-series I've been informed that my HARD drive is maybe broken due to errors when I perform chkdsk checks and the fact that it freezes and crashes randomly.

  In any case, could someone tell me how to install the HARD drive? I bought an another similar to the original hitachi in the laptop, that is to say sata, 2.5 ", but got a 250 GB, rather than the 160. What I have to install anything, or have complicated everything to do? I don't know how to install it physically just don't know if I have to use my discs of recovery or something like that?

  Bravo guys

  Hello

  There is no difficult things to do to swap the HARD drive. Which is a fairly simple process and he s done in 5 minutes I think.

  I have the Satellite L300 in front of me. To swap the HARD drive, turn off the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter. On the underside, you can find the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by 2 screws. Remove the screws and the cover of the HARD drive, you are now able to exchange the HARD drive.

  If you have any other questions, please let me know! :)

• Cannot install VAP on Satellite L40

  Hey people,

  I have a model of Satellite L40 - S13, which I formatted today. In this process, I installed Win 7 (32 bit).

  Now, the FN keys do not work. I read, so I have to install the Flash Cards Support utility and Vaule added package.

  The installation of the Flash Cards Support utility has no problem, but I can't geht the VAP to work. I tried the version of Win 7 and vista version. I always get the following error message: ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE.

  So I read, I have to update my bios. I downloaded the update to the Bios of toshiba home page, but even that does not work.

  Can you help me please, I'm kind of stuck here. Searched the Internet for hours and downloaded like 20 different packages...

  Thanks in advance,
  Kind regards
  n.

  It is sometimes problematic to install and get configuration working 100% on old machines with Win7.
  For example, I installed Win732bit on two Satellite A300 with no problems. I installed VAP only without flash cards support utility and everything works perfectly, so I think you don t he need for your L40, no more, just VAP.

  Have you tried already?
  Now is better to install OS again and start over.
  After that OS installed driver chipset display driver, driver sound utility password and then VAP.

  It is not so easy.

• Installing WXP on Satellite L40 - 18Z

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop: SATELLITE L40 - 18Z, MODEL No. PSL48E. One of their salesmen dim wit forgot to mention that the warranty expires once you remove the VISTA machine.

  I make music and need for XP as no software has caught with VISTA yet.

  Someone out there has done this on this machine? It works if you download all the drivers for the model of the toshibas download section? When you have to install the drivers and through what media bring you on the machine? Do yuou should reformat the hard drive at all prior to xp?

  I'm not clued by all means on this side of things for any help/advice would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  > One of their salesmen dim wit forgot to mention that the warranty expires once you remove the VISTA machine.
  That s is not true.
  If you want, you can install the XP. That will not affect the warranty!

  If you want to install the Xp you simply boot from the XP CD.
  Then, you will need to include the SATA (Intel Storage Manager) driver using the F6 key during the installation procedure.

  All or all the drivers needed XP, you should find on the page of the pilot!

  See you soon
