• Re: IMPORTANT - how to install Windows 2000 on a Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E)?

  Hello

  I am an independent developer and absolutely need to install multiple operating systems on my * Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E) *: it is very important for me because I need to check the functioning of the software under each environment for real (not not using solutions like VMware, for example).

  Well, then, right now, I did a backup Acronis image of original full HDD, and then deleted the original scores of WinRE and data, reduced and moved from disk to the partition of Vista... and installed System Commander 8 to prepare my future multi - initialize. For the moment, everything sounds right: Vista works perfectly!

  Also note, I have configured the SATA in the BIOS Setup in "Compatibility" mode just because I don't need AHCI in my type of use!

  Second step: now, * I have to install Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) EN *. Of course, I am aware that the sticking point is the SATA/AHCI driver, which is not present in the CD of Win 2 K... So, I just make a new CD integrating these drivers using nLite; now, I tried using the driver Intel site on Intel 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller (ICH8M) and page drivers Toshiba XP.

  But it does not completely: the Win 2 K install begins... All the drivers are well charged (including the ones AHCI) and just after this stage of loading, I get a black screen with just a blink of an eye cursor at the top left of the screen... indefinitively :-(

  I tried also to SATA mode "AHCI" in the BIOS and it's the same thing.

  So, what to do next?

  I used the wrong AHCI drivers? Do I need to integrate as many drivers Toshiba (about chipset, display, sound) in the installation of Windows 2000 using nLite CD? I mean the capacity of the CD is not reached.

  Is there a way or a tutorial to install Windows 2000 somewhere? For XP, I think it will be easier because SP3 seems to support AHCI, but earlier, my problem is to install Windows 2000: Although Microsoft wants to leave-it, there are many professionals who still use-it... And my work as a developer, is to make my software also works on this OS! * I really need to find a way to install it on this computer! *

  Awaiting your response informed and all the tips or idea that could help me to complete the task.
  In a word: HELP! Oops!

  > No I used the wrong AHCI drivers?
  Perhaps.

  As far as I know that you need the crib Intel Matrix Storage and in this package, you will find the SATA drivers.
  http://www.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/index.htm

  There you have to choose to get the latest driver - version PV-> Win 2000 8.5-> there you must take the package from point 3

  Good luck

• Cannot install Windows 2000 on my Satellite 1800-514

  I am trying to install windows on my Satellite 1800-514. but when Setup tries to copy files to the hard drive I have some errors on some files are not copied correctly (it says it can't find them, I checked well and they are on the cd).

  is not always, but often the same files. jump results in an unnecessary installation (cannot start). It is the first time ever I am trying to format and reinstall windows on this laptop. I tried gentoo (linux) for a few days and it seems to work very well (except it's me mistakes sometimes when starting from cd)

  so far I have tried:
  -Another cd (all seem to give me the same problem, they worked on all the others I've used them on front of the pc...)
  -windows XP pro cd, gave me an error of not being able to load a file (looks like the installation of 2000?)
  -have you memtest86 to check memory, he finds no errors, also I tried to install with just 1 of my 2-bands memory, that has not helped either. so I don't think that memory is the problem.
  -do you have a chkdsk /R from the recovery console to check the hard disk for errors, no have been found...

  I'm naïve, what to do/try then?

  Hello

  Reset you HARD drive after using the Linux operating system? If please do it properly and then try to install Windows using the recovery CD.

  If the error again please contact the Service partner. In my opinion there must be a missing file.

• 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?

• Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p

  Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 14 p?

  .. .thx for any info and/or messages...

  Hello

  Just to clarify something:

  -If you want to install Windows XP Home edition, but do not change the BIOS settings (leave it in AHCI mode) at the beginning of the procedure of facilities you must load a SATA driver by pressing F6. That's only way to install Windows XP Home edition with success
  -You can install WXP without driver SATA, but you must change the compatibility settings. Everything works fine, but if you change the settings on back ACHI you get BSOD every time when you try to start Windows XP Home edition

  If you want to install the SATA driver please install WXP if you use SATA starts the driver before installing Windows XP Home edition.

• can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system

  can we install windows 2000 on the i3 system

  Depends on if you can get the drivers for your Windows 2000-compatible hardware; you need to verify that hardware manufacturers laicists site to check the drivers. Most of the hardware manufacturers are not even the creation of drivers for Windows XP that is newer than Windows 2000.

• I installed windows 2000 on a virtual machine on a different computer than windows xp.

  I installed Windows 2000 on a virtual machine to another Windows XP computer. I'm under the it on my new computer with Windows xp. I get the icon in the bar lower right spots showing an internet connection but no Internet Explorer or Firefox will have access to the internet? In the Device Manager on Windows 2000, it shows a map network intel but on the computer Windows Xp host computer and in the "settings" on the Windows 2000 installation it shows my Realtek card. Is the adapter intel a virtual card? I tried to uninstall the Intel card and then install the Realtek but Windows 2000 installation does not see the Realtek card. On a restart, the Intel card is reinstalled.
  Am I a fight lost because I did the first Windows 2000 install on another computer in Windows XP?

  Hi MrRobHill1965,

  Given that the problem is related to the virtual machine, I suggest that you post your question on the forums of Virtual PC listed below.

• Install Windows 2000 without a disc

  due to the virus had to wipe the disk, but we do not have the original operating system, but have the record number of windows 2000 under the computer operating system. How can I get a windows 2000 downloaded and saved? I have the satellite pro 4600

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but as far as I know, it is not possible to download an operating system. If you have lost your recovery CD with the image of the whole plant, you will need to buy a new Toshiba or only an operating system and install the system by your own.

  Good bye

• How to install Win 7 on a Satellite M30X-165 (S)

  The laptop has a Pentium clocked at 1.6 GHz and 1 GB of RAM which I would upgrade to 2 GB. I want to change the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I know that Toshiba do not support the software and drivers for Win 7:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=235849𹥉

  But when I remove the hard drive, install Windows Vista and later upgrade to Windows 7 If this could be a way to use Vista drivers and Toshiba Software, especially software for function keys. I think that the third-party software should come through Win 7 update.

  Some devices are:
  Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
  Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
  ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series graphics card
  ENE CB710 Cardbus Controller
  Realtek AC97 Audio
  TOSHIBA Software Modem (not important)

  Some software are:
  TOSHIBA ConfigFree
  Alps Pointing-device Driver
  ATI Desktop component
  TOSHIBA utilities

  Long ago, I had Satellite M70 that was machine WXP too. It was not supported for Win7 but I installed it to see how it will work. My problem was to find the display driver, but I found somewhere on the net and the machine was OK. I could use it but without specific Toshiba and utility tools.

  Unfortunately on this forum we do have enough information about these updates on old machines. I can only say: install it, test it and post comments.

• Portege 3440 - cannot install Windows 2000

  Hello friends :)

  I have a problem with the installation of Windows 2000 on Portege 3440.
  I was running Windows 2000 with the FDD USBB (with driver for PCMCIA of CD-ROM) installation and CD-ROM PCMCIA. "Everything was ok at the moment when I came for winnt ' q.

  When installing without partition on the HARD drive was appeared on blue background information: "could not find a place for a swap file. With partition (FAT32, 6 GB): "Setup could not install the Windows boot loader. To ensure that your C: drive is formatted and that the drive is not damaged. I tried with three other HDDss.
  What should I do to install this system? (Same users do not have these releases)

  Thanks for help
  Adrian

  Hello

  1 don't forget to prepare your hard disk with fdisk (a bootable partition) and format it with the Fat32 file system

  2. start by a MSDos saved in your floppy drive-drive with drivers for your PCMCIA CDrom drive (Freecom)

  3. copy the entire i386 to the W2K installation CD directory your HD, be sure to have loaded smartdrive, otherwise it will take ages!

  4 start again with the saved, go to the i386 directory and start Windows NT

  You can look here for more information about freecom pilots and the bootdisks: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232
  On your 3440 it should be easier than with the R100 because of normal 2.5 "HD 6 GB, but the problem is basically the same

• Install Windows 7 on the Satellite M100

  I have the Satellite M100-JG2 (PSMA0C-JG200E). I would like to install Windows 7. The Toshiba does not list the compatible M100. The Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor points on certain issues, but I don't know how it's easy to overcome them.

  I read on another forum that the touchpad does not work after the upgrade, but this was solved by installing a Synaptics driver. Otherwise, I see people announced the upgrade succeeded with no other info. Can someone tell me if they have been successful or not to undertake this upgrade, all the problems that they led in to and how they have solved their?

  The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor provides the following information (I remove personal programs):
  All the systems pass (I have only 1 GB of RAM if, so do not know if it is too little, even if it is passed)
  Pass all devices

  Program questions:
  TOSHIBA ConfigFree version 5.90.05 (don't know if I still need this)
  Version 1.39.0.4C of TOSHIBA hardware
  1.39.0.5C TOSHIBA supervisor password version
  TOSHIBA Alps Pointing - device Driver version 6.0.2.186 (is this touchpad)
  Version client and Host Security Platform 104.0.14.2

  Any help or advice would be welcome before I attempt this upgrade.

  Thank you!

  Win 7 Vientiane does not contain Flash cards! You must install separately.

  Take a look on the Satellite L500 driver area.
  You'll find the VAP and Flash Card Utility for Win7

  I recommend reinstall these two tools again

  You need to install the SATA drivers!
  The laptop supports the SATA controller and the drivers are not part of the Windows operating system.
  The SATA drivers are in the Intel Storage Manager!
  Read some threads here about this theme for more details! There are a lot of threads!

  > Can I get Raid for the laptop?
  No, because the phone doesn't support RAID controller.

  I have Toshiba Satellite L305D and I try to install windows 7.

  The computer starts the installation and after it restarts once and trying to get to the windows, he failed and writing pilot missing: \windows\system32\drivers\lsi_fc.sys.

  I try to install all versions of windows and everyway impossible and I can't install it.
  I can install WXP without any problem.

  Is - this installation disc original from Microsoft Win7 you use?
  In the past, I installed Win7 on several machines Toshiba (older models), and one of them also had model D with AMD platform, but without any problems.
