I'm not able to install Win XP Pro on laptop Qosmio

I bought a new Qosmio in Ukraine... has been installed XP in Russian, can understand any word. So, back to Istanbul I asked Microsoft about licensing and learned that I have to buy XP Pro additional English (the Russian pre-installed XP is not accepted by Microsoft).

So I spent another $180 for the XP Pro English license. But I can't install it on the laptop. Toshiba must raise all of the idiots who built such a stupid computer. Somehow XP says that there is no hard drive in the unit. It's amazing. The laptop is dependent on language...

Hi guys

@aydinz: it's a simple fact that the Windows operating system has been pre-installed in the same language are the unit was delivered. If you buy the laptop in Ukraine the OS language is Russian, and if you buy the laptop to the United Kingdom if the OS is in English.

@CarbonXer: I put t know what Setup you use, but usually the drive HARD must be formatted before you start the OS installation procedure. If you do not want XP Home, why do you install another operating system on the unit?

To all: Happy New Year

Best regards

  • Unable to install Win XP Pro on the Qosmio X 300

    Is it possible to install XP Pro on my Qosmio X 300.

    Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.

    Can I ask you if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD?
    I guess you laptop supports the recovery of HARD drive and no drives have been provided with this device.
    Before to format the HARD drive, you must create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    Furthermore, I believe that you are not able to install XP because the SATA driver were not included in your Win XP operating system.
    Well, on some laptops you can disable the SATA AHCI in the BIOS and could spend in compatible mode. This would install the Win XP without a SATA driver.
    But this option is not available on all models of laptops. You need to check this first.

    Finally, I must say that this topic has been discussed a lot of time here in the forum. Maybe not specifically in the forum of Qosmio X but in the other forum and the SATA installation procedure is the same on all laptops.
    So look for a little

  • Not able to install Dragon Naturally Speking 12 Premium Wireless on Win 7 Home Premium HP Probook

    I'm having a problem when I try to install DNS Premium Wireless 12 on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.  I see a message that the software was preparing to install after you start setup.exe (as admin). After that, a window appears with the following message is displayed:

    Windows® Installer. V 5.0.7601.17514

    Again, I am as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I spent hours on the phone with Tech level Microsoft and even if they cannot solve the problem, they refuse to refer me to a technician at a higher level. I leave my machine remotely, access tried to launch scans, nothing is damaged or infected. I turned off DEP for exe on disk files.  I recorded and re-recorded. All that suggests the Microsoft forums. I even got a new machine.

    I am able to install on my 2 older laptops at home, so I think it's a problem with newer models. I tried install with the laptop almost right out of the box. and before I installed the firewall or antivirus.  Any ideas? Anyone can solve this without starting by saying maybe, maybe, "I guess?"   Please, I beg you!

    Well, in the center of compatibility Windows here it is listed as compatible.

    Try this work around:

  • Not able to install firefox updates

    I downloaded the new firefox updates, but not able to install. I followed the steps.
    1. check if no instance of firefox is running in the Task Manager
    2 lunch Firefox as administrator.
    3. click on Yes
    4. it begins to install.
    5 throws an error as several instance of firefox running.
    6. tried this couple of times, but of no use. Every time error.
    7. no created dumps.

    Do a clean install (re)-:

    • Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
    • http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all.html
    • Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
    • Do not erase personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

    You don't need to create a new profile, which is not necessary for this issue

    Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Not able to install any other OS on Satellite M70

    I have a Toshiba M70-181 and my friend has a series of satellite Toshiba M70-189.

    (a) we both are not able to install any other OS outside one (Windows XP Home edition (German)) provided with the product. Is it not possible to install any other OS? Toshiba does not support any other OS?

    (b) we got a German OS with the product. Is it possible that we can get a recovery CD English replacement for the Germany that we have. If yes how?

    (c) is it possible to install Linux on the laptop 2 above?

    (d) if it is not possible to install any other OS is so their a workaround so that we can install another OS?

    [Edited by: admin on 12 February 06 15:33]

    Hello

    Normally there is no problem to install another OS. Just boot from the installation of the desired OS CD and it runs.

    But getting the system to operate with all functions is not so easy, as Toshiba only supports Windows XP for the M70. If you want to use another language or XP Pro, there is no problem, because the drivers and software are almost the same.

    But Linux or something else, to pick up on other places for drivers to work (if they already exist). I remember that I saw some people who got their system works with Linux on this forum.

    Replace the recovery CD is unfortunately not possible. If you want XP in English, you need a full version of XP in English from Microsoft.

    Hi James,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

    According to the description, it looks that you are not able to install Windows XP Media Center.

    I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

    Follow these 4 steps to install the KB925766 correctly:

    a. if the 886904 update is installed, you must uninstall the 886904 update before you install the Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Otherwise, the installation of .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 will fail.

    To determine whether the 886904 update is installed, follow these steps:

    i. click on start, run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click OK.

    II. Click to select the show updates check box.
    III. in the list currently installed programs, locate the following item:

    Fix for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (KB886904)

    If you see this option, you must remove the hotfix. To remove the patch, click on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (KB886904) Hotfix and then click on remove. Then, visit the Windows Update Web sit to download and install the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

    b. to install this update, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 installed. Windows Update detects whether these packages are installed. Windows Update automatically installs these packages for you.

    (i) follow the link below to download the .net framework 1.1 manually:

    c. cumulative update 2 for the Windows XP Edition Media Center 2005 (KB900325)
    Follow the link below to download and install the KB900325:

  • He was not able to install service pack 4 (kb2463332). How can I solve this? Thank you

    I use windows xp. I get a yellow icon in my computer, indicating to install an update, but after trying to install it I get a message that the service pack 4 (kb2463332) was not able to install. How can I solve this? Thank you

    That update is SQL server 2005 service pack 4, it is not something that is required in XP and you would probably do anything related to SQL server if you do not need, just so don't install it.
