How to install XP on Toshiba laptops!

I struggled with this on my ct 3440 (w / a new 20 GB hd).

First of all, I gave up and installed variants of Linux (fedora and redhat), which has worked flawlessly!

It was therefore not a hardware problem.

But then I got tired of her, for me, unusable Linux and tried to gather information from the microsoft bulletin.

Seems the XP (and install 2000) tries to use an incompatible driver of HD during installation. Using a generic driver would do the trick, but I still know how to do this (by pressing F6 during installation, no doubt, but what to load?)

Toshiba could probably solve this problem if they come out of the specific HD drivers for laptops mentioned (are you reading this?).

I thought that perhaps 98 force drivers incompatible during installation, and I was right! :)

(If your connected to a PCMCIA cdrom, 98 installation does not work, you will need to copy - both - W98, XP CDs and CDROM XP drivers laptop HD using an adapter 1.8 "via a desktop computer.) (possibly another laptop with cdrom integrated))

Then - update - to XP to go 98 has worked without a hitch.

This seems to affect a large number of laptops, not only the series, Portege, but also some of the Satellites (I think).

But the workaround works! :)

Hello

You are absolutely right. Workaround works in some cases. In my view, that the installation of the OS should be made using restore CD. On this way, everyone will be sure that all the drivers and tools are installed correctly. The title of the topic should be how to install Windows XP Home edition on the old laptop Toshiba with new and bigger HARD drive. ;)

If you change some hardware components like HARD drive because of the restriction of the BIOS (for old models of laptops as 3440) can be a problem. It is also important that all the drivers and tools are designed for each OS and for each laptop model.

  • How can I get my Toshiba laptop to print to my HP 4500 printer wireless?

    * Original title: install a wireless printer

    How can I get my Toshiba laptop to print to my HP 4500 printer wireless?

    Hello pastor,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for your query details.

    I also like the fact you want to set up a wireless printer.

    When you connect a printer to your computer, or add a new printer to your home network, you can usually start printing immediately. Windows supports most printers, and you'll probably go out your way to install the special printer software. If you use Windows 8.1 or 8.1 RT Windows, additional printers and drivers are available through Windows Update.

    I suggest you follow the steps in these articles and check if it helps.

  • How to install XP on a laptop used, have CD/DVD but no product code

    I bought a laptop used on three or four years with a genuine version of XP Professional already installed. I have the XP disc with me (has "for refurbished PCs ' printed on it), however I do not have the product code with me when I moved to Southeast Asia. The laptop broke down so I will soon buy another used quality XP laptop.

    Is it possible to install XP on it without the product code?

    If so, is it possible to activate it without a phone call? I have a quad-band GSM, but the voice quality is very poor with calls long distance.

    Thank you

    No product key, no activation.

  • How to restore my computer toshiba laptop out-of-box state?

    A few days ago I received a notification window report a problem with my operating system (although it's practically new) in my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB 320 HD. After not being able to open ALL the files in my office (ex: icon workstation), task bar (the ex icon) or even start menu (e.g. Control Panel), I decided to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration, when the problem was not present. At the end of the restore process, I received an error message. I restarted my laptop again and the problem continues (not being able to open the files, applications, or programs). I then decided to restore my laptop with the option of deleting is not my current data. Out of 47 process had to be done, my set up spun without progressing to the #3 / 47 (display of SMA - I think). Although I was warned not to disrrupt the process, I forced my laptop turned off after 30 minutes.

    Now, when I try to boot my laptop, I get a message that my computer is preparing for first use; When I get to the 'Welcome' screen, my session runs without procedure. After forcing my laptop off and restart my computer several times, I left my laptop computer spinning during the night and when I woke up, I could choose, "Administrator" or "guest user". When I click on "Administrator", a screen will appear indicating that I don't have permission to enter this environment. When I select "Guest user", I have to enter my username and password. Although I never created a password for this laptop, I'm not allowed to login without password.

    I am now trying to restore my computer laptop out-of-box settings, but when I try to hold F8 at startup, I don't have the option to select the recovery settings, as I already did when I tried to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration.

    For Toshiba, you press and hold "0" while turning on the computer...

    BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD

    The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.

    Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:

    F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED

    Once in the BIOS find the menu with the boot sequence and change it if it starts from the CD/DVD drive first. Each computer is a little different for this process as well, so I can't give exact directions.

    If you can start still not install it:

    Looks like you got the installation discs for the manufacturer of OEM computer, if so those are modified OEM Windows 7 install disks (they aren't the installation discs for Microsoft) and the best answer may come by contacting the manufacturer of OEM computers, because the changes they did make the different installation process then a normal installation disc.
