Install XP pro on Satellite L40

Hi all
just bought portable PSL48e and immediately wants to get rid of Vista.
However, I need to access for XP SATA drivers to 'see' the hard drive. Anyone know where I can find these and when I press F6 in install routine can I use a USB key as a source for the sata driver or is there another method.
Many thanks for any help I need to work on XP.
Not only I don't like Vista, but I use the laptop for education and almost all educational institutions use XP only.

Hello

the sata controller drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver download site. There are some INF files that shall copy on a diskette.

To install XP on this machine, you need a USB floppy drive. Therefore, when you install XP one brought to the screen with "Press F6 to load.." you must insert the floppy in the drive and connect the USB floppy drive to the machine. (I think it would be best to do this before installing :))

There are many threads that describe this procedure, I suggest you to use the forum search and search for "Installation of XP" or "XP Sata.

Good luck

Welcome them

  • How can I install XP - Pro on Satellite L40 - 14H?

    Instalation of Windows XP - Pro cannot determine on L40 - 14H HDD.
    I think that happens because the issue of SATA compatibility. BIOS 1.6 doesn't have an option for SATA compatibility mode. Update BIOS or another version of XP - PRO will solve a problem maybe?

    Why you n t search here in the forum for the solution?
    There are a lot of discussions about this theme.

    I give you a hint; Research of Manager storage Intel, nLite, and SATA drivers ;)

  • Impossible to install XP Pro on Satellite A200 - 25H

    During the F6 XP pro installation I use the drive USB floppy and drivers Intel 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI, and he lets format me the drive NTFS.

    Then asks for Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver. in the A: drive.
    The Bios doesn't allow me to disable SATA. In fact, the CMOS is very bare bones

    After that I tried using an XP - pro (with the included sata driver) slipstreamed installation CD, but the result was the same

    For some strange reason not the USB floppy not even try to read the disc when you press return.

    Any help would be appreciated, since I am out of ideas

    Thank you

    Yes, I have a Council.
    In my opinion, you should use nLite (its free) software and you must include the SATA drivers for the new CD of XP with nLite.

    I did it last month and it was very easy. Everything worked perfectly!

    Google a bit for more information regarding the nLite

    > Was bought new with no software on it.

    Hmm generally the laptop must be delivered with the software installed together.
    Vista, drivers, tools and utilities must be already installed.

    In addition, you will receive the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    This CD contains the image of Toshiba with OS, drivers and tools.

    However, the driver WLan if works. !!!

    I think you used it just a bad driver WLan.
    The L40 PSL4CE laptop was equipped with the * Realtek RTL8187B WLan card 802.11(b/g) *.

  • How can I install Windows XP on Satellite L40 - 17R?

    I tried to install windows XP on my new L40 - 17R.
    I get a msg says that I don't have a HARD drive.

    I enter the WOOD so I can find a setting for SATA HDD to turn it off as I do in my old ASUS.
    But I have not found anything to the HARD drive in the BIOS.

    So can any body please help me how can I do to install windows XP?

    I will be grateful

    You do not need to disable anything in the BIOS. Simply install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and the operating system will recognize the HARD drive.
    You are going to install the SATA (Storage Manager) driver for the external USB floppy drive or you will use nLite software to build an own XP CD and include the SATA driver in the new XP.

    Hello

    the problem is that windows xp is not supported by this machine toshiba. But if you really need XP, you can try the following:

    1. install 'Virtual PC' on your Vista system and then use your XP Vista or

    2. collect since internet pilots. I want to say is: know what material is built into the machine (e.g. Vga is nvidia geforce-> go to www.nvidia.com, chipset intel-> go to www.intel.com and so on) and you have a machine with features limited under XP.

    This is the point, everything's all right to vista. :(

  • Satellite L40-18 X - wireless switch does not work

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 on Satellite L40 - 18 x, PSL48E, the installation seems correct. After installation I noticed that the wireless switch on/off (power) switch does not. The wireless network is working except the functionality of switch.

    It worked on Windows Vista. I installed all the up-to-date drivers for the network card wireless, including atheros, configfree, chipset drivers, but no effect.

    Please can someone tell me the possibole solution?

    concerning

    Salahaddin

    Hello

    I agree with resident.
    The Wlan switch on the side of the laptop has all the drivers and it works independently of the installed software!

    The FN + F8 key combination that allows the WLan should work on if install you value added package.

    You should also check if the WLan card is set on IT in Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab WLan card.

    See you soon

  • Satellite L40 - 13G - after installing XP I have no sound

    I had just got my laptop reformatted with XP Pro service and have no sound. Downloaded drivers for the realtek and still no sound

    Help please

    REDA

    Hello

    Satellite L40 is equipped with a sound card high definition and this means that you need to install SP3 first, then the audio driver.
    SP3 contains two patches from Microsoft you need for this sound card.

    So remove the audio driver installed, install SP3 and then reinstall the audio driver.

  • Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

    Hi people,

    I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
    I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

    And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
    If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

    Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

    Dave

    Of course you can do it.
    The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

    So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

  • Updated satellite L40 - cannot install the VAP 1.2.40

    I have a Satellite L40 running Windows 7 32 bit.

    Just got an alert on Tempro (yet) asking me to install a new version of the * value added package * (PPV)

    Version 1.2.40 apparently published on 21/09/2010.

    Unzipped the download and again error _ * 0x8146045B * _ when I try to install.

    Help! Someone at - he managed to install the package VAP with WIN 7?

    Hello

    Have you had problems with the previous version?
    Isn't it? So why you want to update? Just because Tempro says there's a new update?

    In any case try to manually download the VAP.
    means that you should visit Toshiba Europe page.
    Save the PPV on the HARD drive and unzip it.
    Uninstall the VAP old everything first, clean the registry with CCleaner.
    Then try again to install VAP

  • Cannot install VAP on Satellite L40

    Hey people,

    I have a model of Satellite L40 - S13, which I formatted today. In this process, I installed Win 7 (32 bit).

    Now, the FN keys do not work. I read, so I have to install the Flash Cards Support utility and Vaule added package.

    The installation of the Flash Cards Support utility has no problem, but I can't geht the VAP to work. I tried the version of Win 7 and vista version. I always get the following error message: ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE.

    So I read, I have to update my bios. I downloaded the update to the Bios of toshiba home page, but even that does not work.

    Can you help me please, I'm kind of stuck here. Searched the Internet for hours and downloaded like 20 different packages...

    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards
    n.

    It is sometimes problematic to install and get configuration working 100% on old machines with Win7.
    For example, I installed Win732bit on two Satellite A300 with no problems. I installed VAP only without flash cards support utility and everything works perfectly, so I think you don t he need for your L40, no more, just VAP.

    Have you tried already?
    Now is better to install OS again and start over.
    After that OS installed driver chipset display driver, driver sound utility password and then VAP.

    It is not so easy.
