• How to install Windows XP Professional on Toshiba laptop?

  Hi all

  I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is a Computer Phobic and has the same brand and model of Toshiba laptop than me. He would like to go back instead of Windows Vista business to Windows XP Professional.

  Its hard drive is the hard disk from Western Digital WD 1200BEVS. He told me that when he went to install Windows XP, it came with no HARD drive. I don't know if I can quote the chipset here, but here it is anyway. The chipset is an Intel(r) ICH8M ultra ata storage controllers-2850. All the advice in a simple format would be gratefull. He downloaded the bios unsuccessfully and nlite to work on a computer with some help of a computer technician on a thumb (flash) drive)

  I'm someone who can help thanking on behalf of my friend who is a Computer Phobic and does not have an interweb connection.

• How to use my restore disks to install Windows Vista on my Toshiba laptop?

  How to get Windows Vista installed on the Toshiba laptop?

  I HAVE A TOTALLY VIRGIN (NOTHING on the HDD) computer PORTABLE TOSHIBA, I HAVE MY RESTORE DISKS for VISTA BUT CANT SEEM to GET THE OS installed on MY LAPTOP... Please help

  As a general rule, the installation - insert the installation disc, restart the computer and boot from the installation disc.

  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.

  Contact information for the manufacturer of your computer can be found here:

• 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?

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

  Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

  In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

  So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)

• 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

• I have a black screen when I install Windows 8 on Multiboot with Windows 7?

  Hello

  I tried, again and again, to install Windows 8 on a custom installation, so that I could Multiboot Windows 7 and 8 together.
  I already have a genuine Windows 7 Ultimate installed, and I purchased Windows 8 PRO download site Australian Microsoft windows, the operating system on my computer (using software that I installed from the windows Web site once I bought it), and burned the Windows 8 PRO ISO on a DVD.
  I did a forum on how to use disk management to create a partition for Windows 8, it's not the problem.
  Once I run the Windows 8 installation DVD in the Boot menu, I entered my product key and the installation continues its way and the computer restarts like twice, but the third restart it comes up with a black screen! I waited 15 minutes, but still nothing around. I also tried different ways to install Windows 8 on a multi boot (as I don't want to lose Windows 7 and all my files - I NEED multiboot), but she always ends up with a black screen with no end!
  Someone please help me, as now Im left without windows!
  Thank you
  -RJ

  Hey

  I found a solution for the problem of black screen!

  Thank you to all the guys who have tried to help me solve this problem. I really appreciate it!

  There seemed to be a problem with my monitor, or my graphics card drivers and windows installation 8.

  The solution has been found on the HP forums, at this link:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-display-and-video-e-g-Windows-8/Installing-Windows-8-upgrade-black-screen-after-Windows-8/TD-p/1974699

  And thanks to cSalman on this forum, he wrote:

  WINDOWS INSTALLATION PROCESS 8 EVEN AFTER THE VACUUM OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN:

  1. In MSCONFIG, uncheck "Load Startup items". Disable everything in the 'Services' tab and then restart the computer.
  2. Install windows 8. After 1 restart, the screen will become empty.
  • Connect another monitor/TV with your laptop / desktop.
  • Your windows process 8 installation display on 2nd monitor/TV, but will remain empty in the 1st monitor.
  • Complete all the installation process of windows 8.
  • Once done, change the settings of the monitor to windows. OR simply close the lid of the laptop and open back

  MY EXPERIENCE:

  • In my case, what happened, I was installing Windows 8 to my Toshiba laptop.
  • I did 2nd TV monitor and installation process begin to show in it, while the laptop screen remains black all the time.
  • After complete installation, my laptop screen stays black and would not be ' t difficulty even with the help of response from Microsoft Support.
  • So they rise to more expert and I suppose me to receive the call from them the next day.
  • Same day that I started to watch a movie with my TV monitor, then I thought allows me to close the lid of the laptop.
  • As I closed the lid of the laptop, TV erased, so I opened the lid laptop back again.
  • As I opened the rear lid, windows 8 has detected the laptop screen and started working

  ------------------------

  And Voila! After disabling all services and startup items in windows 7, then using my TV as my monitor, I was able to complete the installation of Windows 8 and now I'm happy!

  Thanks again,

• Portege 3490CT - how to install Windows XP?

  I have a portege 3490CT and I want to install Windows xp, but the laptop cannot boot from my external USB cdrom drive. I tried to install Windows on the hard disk on another computer (it works), but if I put the disk in the laptop it does not start.

  So, how can I install windows?

  Please write back.
  Thank you.

  Hi michaelnachname,

• 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:

• Install Windows 8 on Portege R500

  Hello

  Is it possible to install Windows 8 on a Portégé R500? I've tried and failed. I think that the reason is that Windows 8 not use a GPT and MBR disk.

  Y at - it an update of the BIOS to treat the GPT disks?

  Thank you
  Markus

  As much as I know this old Portege is not supported for Win8 and Toshiba didn't offer not any what Win8 driver tool or utility, especially not a BIOS version that is designed to help with the installation of Win8.

• Portege R700 - install Windows 7 via Windows Deployment Services - error

  Hello

  I have a set of 8 Portege R700 PT310-E computer laptop on which I need to install Windows 7 Professional. I want to do this by using our company Windows deployment server (using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 to generate the image). While it is loading all software, our company uses.

  I have been using the version 32 bit Windows 7 and do a PXE boot from the server. The problem I encountered is that when the laptop starts the installation of the server image. It loads successfully, but does not because it can't find the network device.

  What I find strange that I loaded all R700 network drivers in the boot.wim file. I also tried to download all Windows 7 Pro LAN drivers remaining on the Intel site and load those as well as the pilot on the Toshiba site, but it has also generated the same error.

  Someone at - it experience to install via WDS on the R700 model? Is there a fix for this, because we are very impressed by these laptops, but being only unable to install via WDS is more annoying.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Dominic :-)

  Hello

  What exact version of R700 do you use? Also what version of BIOS is installed?
