Installation of the OS

Is there a place I can download a copy of XP Home Edition?

A friend asked me to rebuild a Dell computer, but he didn't have the software that came with it.  The computer has Windows XP Home Edition on the side sticker, but I never use this version so I don't have a CD that I can use.  The license is legitimate, I just need a place to get the CD.  Any ideas?

Your best bet is to contact Dell. Let them know what is the Service tag. There is a good chance that they will send a CD of installation for a relatively small fee.

  • Portege 2000 - new installation using the PCMCIA CD-ROM XP

    I try to install XP on Portege 2000 using the official PCMCIA Toshiba CD-ROM drive.

    Install the XP disk boots fine, but after that Setup copied the files it blue screen (BSOD blue). I'm not very tech savvy, but I think it means that the BIOS can 'see' the PCMCIA CD-ROM, but that the real image of XP loaded by the installation program cannot, probably due to missing drivers for the PCMCIA CD-ROM?

    Then, I thought that maybe I could use F6 to load additional drivers during the initial installation, but it is beyond me to create the right set of files required. I know that you can download the Freecom drivers, but I don't know what are the driver files from CD to use and how to create from scratch the txtsetup.oem file right.

    Does anyone know how to properly use F6 and load the drivers for it?

    I found a lot of messages suggesting I copy the installer to the HARD disk and launch the installation from there. My problem is that the XP installation is an upgrade CD, so I will ask you at a certain time to insert a previous Windows CD and if at that time there I don't have a working CD-ROM drive...

    First post on this forum so be nice - I did a search but not find a thread with a real solution, but of course if I miss a please report!

    Hello

    I managed to install Windows XP Home the Portege 2000 using the PCMCIA reader but I ve used recovery disks original Toshiba which includes the correct driver for external optical drive.

    So far I tried not to install Windows XP Home edition, using the Microsoft installation disc.

    Maybe you should get the disks of facilities and not use this upgrade disk. I think that on this path, you will be able to install WXP as suggested when you copy data from facilities at the disk directly.
    Have you tried to get the original recovery disc Toshiba WXP?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8000: installation of the driver wireless Officejet 8000 Pro says default gateway is 0.0.0.0

    I'm chasing a well-documented problem of my printer lost network connection after a variable period of printing to do not. The only way to connect is to change the power supply, but the printer may take 5 minutes to blow and grunts until it settles and prints...

    I put a static IP address on the printer (10.0.0.250) as well as an empty default gateway successfully, and the documents are printed after 5mins of blowing and grunting (save the regular lost connection which I'm hunting...).

    I put what I thought has a static IP address on the router to match (see image below), but now I don't know if it was necessary, and if the 'hosting of the fixed DHCP server' is correct. It might be useless and missleading...

    Using the configuration of the printer to 10.0.0.250 interface, it seems to accept the installation of the network when the default gateway is blank. With the help of 10.0.0.2 caused the 'page not found' error in my browser (Chrome).

    However, when you try to reinstall the drivers, the installer has grumbled to the default gateway is set to 0.0.0.0, which currently is the only way it will work...

    The Win7 PC is plugged into the router.
    The printer wireless to the router.

    ipconfig on the pc gives Ethernet card details below.

    So basically I have no idea what I'm doing...!

    ==============

    Ethernet connection to the Local network card:

    The connection-specific DNS suffix. :
    Link-local IPv6 Address...: fe80::c8e1:63ef:85e0:7 24% 13 c.
    IPv4 address...: 10.0.0.249
    ... Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.
    ... Default gateway. : 10.0.0.2.

    Router config.

    Thank you for your comments. It seems that I solved the problem of the default gateway. Time will tell if the remains of the printer connected through long periods of no use (see update below).

    It seems that the configuration of the router of the "DHCP fixed existing host" has nothing to do with the device assigned a static IP address. In fact, it seems that this setting prevents the printer through a default gateway of the router address.

    I noticed that when you give the PC a fixed IP, it connected through the router without any other configuration of router. If I reasoned that it may be applied to the printer also, so I moved the printer 10.0.0.251 and Bingo! the default gateway can be set to the IP address of the route.

    Since then I downloaded to other updates, which is supposed to correct the common problem of wireless printers, loss of the connection.

    I'll try to report in the next few weeks an update about the stability of connection network printers.

    UPDATED: May 23, 2016

    And more of the foregoing, my router support suggested I increase a parameter "timeout" from 24 hours to 10 days. I did it more than a week. Today, the printer worked after the impression of not for about 5 days

  • Satellite L875-13D - problem with the installation of the wireless card

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L875-13D. I installed Windows 7 Enterprise edition.

  • Question about the installation of the OS

    I have some problems with the shortcut keys and I want to reformat my system.
    Problem is that I have not created recovery cd before, is this going to work if I do it now.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please don t worry about the recovery procedure. It's very simple to do. Put the recovery CD in the CD/DVD drive, start Notepad and press C button and hold it for a few seconds. This will force your unit to boot from the CD/DVD drive.

    Follow the instructions on the screen. Standard mode will erase the whole HARD drive and create a partition. If you have only one partition I recommend to set up two of them. One will be used for the OS and application installations. The other can be used for the backup of data.

    If you need more instructions, please write again.

  • Satellite Pro C70 - B - 12 c - installation of the Package of added value

    Hello technician,

    could someone explain how to install the PPV on the Satellite Pro C70 - B - 12 c.
    I installed Windows 7 on the new Machine and want to use the utility function key.

    I downloaded the compatible vap on the driver download site. In the next step, I tried to install the PPV on the Archive of Toshiba Extractor. If I let install it automatically, I m only get the ODBC Driver-Installation Windows. So I canceled the Installation of the ODBC driver - and start the program installation of archive extracted.

    After the complete Installation, the function keys and the utility of the Flash card can be used. But the Flash card utility displays badly on the assigned keys functions. for example, on the keyboard the F11 key shows the power of the speaker function.

    The Flash Card utility indicates the Escape key for the same function switch (speaker). After the Installation of the vap, none called buttons work.

    I ve tested the function Key Utility for Windows 8.1. But this test was unnecessary.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    Installation of VAP is not very complicated.
    You need to download the package.
    Save it to the disk (to office) and unzip the package (right click on unzip)

    > In the next step, I tried to install the PPV on the Archive of Toshiba Extractor.
    I m just wondering what you mean by install over?

    As I said earlier, after a clean install of Windows 7, you could install the VAP. But first this package must be decompressed. To decompress the package, you can use a program like WinRAR or WinZip

    Richard

    Hi Rpayne32,

    What laptop you have exactly?
    Where did you downloaded package of added value?
    The operating system that is pre-installed in Toshiba or your own installation of Windows that you are using?
    Try you added value package update or new installation?

    In my opinion, you should check your antivirus or firewall. I think that something is blocking the installation.

    Re: Restart fails after installation of El Capitan help!

    Or you can try and see on the repair of the system and then if your disk utility can

    See the Macintosh HD, as a boot volume, you could restart from OS X Recovery to

    the Mac system, to see if this solves the problem. There may be more than one cause.

    You could try and boot into OS X Recovery, utilities out there, and other options are available.

    • OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    This example uses a special partition on the hard drive of recovery which is not in the

    same disc that the Mac OS X section; However if your hard drive is missing, these other

    items may also be at risk. You must have and maintain backups of your duplicate content

    on the external storage drives closed; In addition, a Time Machine backup helps to restore.

    Beware of the fact these tools can also delete or reformat your content; wiping.}

    Don't know what to say; you could see visiting an Apple store with genius if

    There is an official store. Usually for best time planning you would contact them for an appointment.

    Or if there is no official retail Apple Store with genius, the following suggestion would be to contact

    a service provider authorized Apple, an independent specialist who is qualified in the repair of Apple.

  • Re: Satellite U400: operating system not found then the installation of the OS

    I have a toshiba satellite u400 with is come with VISTA.

    Because I don't like VISTA, I then installed WINDOWS XP with a multi boot.

    Everything worked well. But one day I want to resize my partitions I used Paragon partition manager.
    This product is required to operate only to resize my xp partition, so he asks me a start.

    And then nothing works.

    I try to fix my problem with a fresh install, but it seems that the boot sector was not correct.
    Then I completely format my hard disk on another computer with a USB CABLE.

    When I try to install VISTA, XP or LINUX on a CD or DVD, I ask the multiboot with F12
    I chose to boot from the CD/DVD built-in, but I get only "OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND',

    It's as if the BIOS test the HARD to FIND something specific, and it does not find.
    When my PC worked correctly I could boot from the drive to dvd without problem.

    I called the SUPPORT CENTER of about 10 days, but I have no answer.

    So if someone could help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND message appears generally if the laptop has attempted to boot from the HARD drive and didn t find the operating system.

    But I put t understand why you formatted the HARD drive using the USB cable?

    Please insert HARD drive in the Bay of laptops HARD drive and check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS!
    If the HARD drive has been recognised so I recommend you to take a disk Win XP Home and at the start of this disc.

    As I m not wrong not you will need to first install the SATA drivers to recognize the HARD drive.
    The fact is that the laptop supports the SATA controller and SATA drivers are needed to get the HARD drive recognized by Win XP.

    Well, after you have booted from the Win XP disc you need to format the new HDD by using the NTFS file format and should then follow with the installation of the OS.

    It seems my HP 550 (Celeron 1.73 GHz, 2 GB ram, x 3100, graphics etc.) does not accept the display driver which is available at the hp driver download page.

    I also tried an of intel directly, with exactly the same results on W2k SP4 and Windows XP SP2 home edition.

    During the installation of the driver, at some point after the copy, the system goes to a command prompt-looking on the back with a cursor blinking for a few seconds, it looks like its running a batch in full screen or similar file.

    After that, I guess, try to use a new display mode - without guest - and breaks down (screen becomes quite dead).

    I have to turn the system and then turn if I want to do something with it.

    Hello

    As far as I know, Portege 3500 can be installed with recovery DVDs using just external card PC CD/DVD or Combo drive. The way is to contact some service partners and ask them if they can do it for you.

    The recovery procedure takes about 20 minutes and I think that it may not cost a lot of money.

  • Satellite U200: Home WXP - installation of the other language

    If so, I can find them on the Internet from Toshiba site?

    Thanks in advance.
    Greetings, ' pimpin :)

    Hello

    If you want to use the Windows in English then you definitely install this OS in the English language.
    Then you have two choices. Either you want to use only a single OS on the HARD drive and install Windows in English on the existing French operating system partition you will create a second partition and install the English Windows as the second operating system.

    After the installation of the OS, you will need to install the drivers of Toshiba and utility in the right order if you want to use the features of Toshiba laptop together.

    The necessary drivers, you can find the Toshiba site
