  When upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7, you must perform a custom (clean) installation because there is no real upgrade path. Perhaps the links below will help:

• 3440 CT Poertege: install Win 2000 without floppy

  I have an old protégé 3440CT but I don't have the external disk, I only have the external cd-rom drive.
  When I bought the computer second hand, it installed windows Millennium Edition and I decided to install windows 2000.

  Because I don't have an external floppy drive, I decided to go down the internal disk (hard drive), put in a usb adapter and connect it to my desktop pc. I formatted the drive and created a partition where I copy all installation windows 2000 cd.

  But when I put the hard drive again in the protégé and restart the computer, the disc starts, it was not allow to restart. And appeared an insert saying message the disk in the drive.

  I just want to know if its possible to install the win2000 in my portege make a copy of the installation cd on a partition on the hard drive, and if not, how can I install it in my protected?

  Hello

  I think you need to start Notepad using the floppy drive and boot disk. When start I presume you can access second partition and run the installation procedure. I didn t try before but in my opinion, it should be possible. Some users on this forum have reported on this possibility.

  If know you more please let me know.

• NB100 - how to install Windows 7 without CD player

  Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows how to install Windows 7 Pentecost on a CD player.

  I have an external HARD drive.
  Is - this posibel to make an image on this one to boot from?

  Hmm, I think that's not possible.
  I know that it was possible to install Win XP without the disc.
  You simply copied the folder integer i386 to the HARD disk and executed to the Winnt. EXE

  I have no experience with Win 7 but I also didn t find details that something like that would not be possible so I guess that's not possible

• 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?

• 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

• HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.

  Hello

  First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!

  Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.

  Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...

  I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step

  In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?

  Thank you very much for your kind attention,

  Best regards

  Francisco

  To answer your questions:

  (1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media.  Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.

  (2) lose the built-in recovery.  IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes.  That no longer works after upgrade Win10.

  (3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.

  (4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail.  The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation.  You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate.  If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate.  MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.

• 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.

• Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Original title: improvement of the operating system.

  Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

  Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

• Portege 2000 - how to install Windows XP without ODD and FDD?

  I have this Toshiba Portege 2000 old OS crashed a few days ago. This laptop is not an optical drive and a floppy drive.

  The first thing is mind is to purchase an external optical drive which I did, but it does not seem to boot from it. I have trouble to install Windows XP but nothing helped.
  Can you guys please help me?

  The last option I have in mind would be to install Windows XP on a network. The portege 2000 is able to boot from PXE, the thing is that I don't know how to do it! Can someone tell me how to boot from PXE?

  Thank you very much.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know if copy you the Windows XP CD to HARD disk and then you start from external floppy drive (it should work) you can start the installation.
  Copy the XP CD to your HARD drive with a drive enclosure external DRIVE on another computer, create a boot floppy XP and start from it.
  Go to the I386 folder and start the WINNT. EXE

  Or you use the CD/DVD drive from another computer with the netbootdisk. I found this with Google:
