• Need help with the installation of Windows XP Home on my Satellite Pro A300-1DZ

  Hi all.

  I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

  I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
  I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

  BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

  My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

  PLEEASE!

  It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.
  I myself am the slow education in the dark arts of computers. LOL :)

  PS. the laptop has a Vista Basic sticker on it, but it is certainly the XP pro operating system. :)

  Hi jeff

  Here's your solution:
  1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
  2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
  3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
  4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
  5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

  Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

  Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

  implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

  And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

  Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site
  and search for the Windows XP drivers for your specific computer or motherboard model number.

  If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.

  Then, after installing XP install all device drivers, starting with the mother/chipset, LAN, Audio, USB, SATA card, drivers, and so on.

  Your friends drive is most likely a "Retail" XP version which has its own product key. In most cases, you can reinstall XP using 'Reticular' media and then activate with your OEM. Is that what you did?

• HP TouchSmart 420 - 1000 t CTO: need help with the installation of windows on a new hard drive for HP TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO (bought in 2012)

  My hard drive is failng in my computer I get the message that "the failure of hard drive" is imminent for several months now.  I did just recovery disks after I bought my computer and that you have ordered a new hard drive.

  I thought that the part of the setup of windows on a portion of the current hard disk that I need to replace.

  I want to just make sure that if I can restore the windows completely and that all programmes provided with the computer are on the recovery discs I want to do it myself - so I need to know I'm doing it correctly!

  Thank you very much.

  Kimberly

  PS I found this web page below and I want to just make sure that it applies to me:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-420-1000-desktop-PC-series/5146292/model/5155758/d...

  This link in the post seems to apply to the situation.  If you have already completed the defined recovery disc then it should just be a matter of running the recovery disc after the new hard drive is installed.  The recovery disk set will be "restoring windows completely and all programs included with the computer".  Be aware that all other items that were installed or personal data will not be restored.  When replacing the hard drive, do not buy a disc exceeds the limit of 2 TB, such as published in the SPECS for TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO.

• Need help with the reactivation of windows xp

  I clicked on a security message that came when I turned on my pc. It was obviously the wrong thing to do and probably some kind of scam. He deleted the installation windows completely. Now it says I have to reactivate windows xp. I found the product key on a sticker on the computer 25-digit and entered it. Then there is an ID that I entered when I phoned the number assigned. He said while the product is not authentic and told me to go out and buy something authentic. There is no option to speak to a human being. All solutions? The computer had windows xp preloaded when buying Dell in 2005 and never been a problem until now. I am sure that it is authentic, but am going round in circles at the moment. I can't get to anything on the computer right now.

  Hello fel_myriouma,

  The option to talk to a human being comes at the end of the automated call. When the automated caller terminates the call ' Don't ' hung up. Simple hang on you and you should be transferred to a "real" person

  You can also contact Dell to verify that the product key is good.

  You must also download the Microsoft MGADiag tool

  It is unlikely that it will work; because the material is different, there are differences in what is needed in the installations of Windows... At the very least, you will need to do a repair installation after the fact. The repair facility is not enough and you need to clean install Windows.
