• Re: Installation of Win XP on Portege R500 12 q

  Hello
  I would like to install Microsoft Win XP on my Portege R500 12 q (128 GB SSD drive)

  If I start the installation of the CD, there is normally the possibilety to install a third-party driver through by pressing F6. But the problem is, that nothing happens if I press F6 at this time (tried more than once).
  OK if I wait, I get the possibilety to specify the mass storage, because the installation program does not find any. If I want to install the drivers now, is the only possibilety to install drive A: (floppy drive) but I don't have a floppy drive.
  I have not found the driver SSD - to the Hompage, but I think that it is included in the Matrix Storage Manager, isn't it?

  It is really difficult to install Win XP on a SSD? Please help me.
  Thanks in advance.
  Greetings
  Stefan

  > Ok if I wait, I get the option of specifying mass storage, because the Setup program does not find any. If I want to install the drivers now, the only possibility is to install from drive A: (floppy drive), but I put t have a floppy drive.
  If you want to include the SATA driver using the F6 option then you MUST USE the floppy drive. But if you have a USB floppy drive, then you can use nLite software to include the SATA drivers in the new created XP CD.
  The SATA driver is part of the Intel storage Manger and you can download if from here:

  [Intel storage utility eat 32-bit Configuration diskette (201ko) 8.6.0.1007 | http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?url=/17061/eng/f6flpy3286.zip&DwnldId=17061&ProductID=2101&lang=e ng]

  For more information about nLite Internet search!

  > If I change the setting again in the bios I always get a blue screen, but I can't install the driver of the matrix (SSD) as long as I n t, setting change and I think I don t use the SSD speed possible.
  It is clear. You will always get a BSOD if you would replace the SATA mode in the BIOS after installing any OS. If you have installed the operating system, you can not change the SATA mode in the BIOS.
  But if you want to change it again once, then you will need to install the new OS using the SATA drivers

  Hi michaelnachname,

  Here you can already find a thread on installation of Windows XP Portege 3490CT:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-euro...D=16411䀛

  As you can read, you must format the HARD drive and copy the folder the XP disc on HARD drive i386. Then, you can start Setup from the HARD drive without a CD player. :)

• Portege 3490CT: unable to set the brightness of the screen

  Hello

  I recently acquired a Portege 3490CT and have installed Windows XP on it. Everything works fine except that I can't adjust the BRIGHTNESS of the screen. I believe that this can be done via the software, which does not support Windows XP.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? I can adjust the BRIGHTNESS in the BACK using TSETUP, but Windows seems to get around any setting that I'm doing here.

  Thnaks in advance.

  Hello

  To use this feature, you must in particular drivers.
  This device has not been delivered with Win XP and I also found this driver in particular on the Toshiba driver page.
  I guess, if you want to use the WinXP renounce this function.

• No sound on Portege 3490CT with Windows XP Home edition

  Hello

  I bought a Portege 3490CT on eBay. Everything works fine except there is no sound available. I use WinXP SP2. I know there is a problem with the service packs, but the same problem exists after installation of Windows XP without service pack: it seems to be, that there is no audio devices available. The Windows Device Manager indicates only something a device "legacy". I think that it does not find the real device of Yamaha.

  Install the new driver of Toshiba homepage gives only a "driver not installed" error message.
  In the BIOS there is no option to disable the sound equipment.
  It is perhaps damaged?

  I hope someone has an idea...

  Thank you and best regards
  Mirko

  Usually the legacy term device is used to refer to any device that is not Plug and Play compatible.
  I can only suggest why it doesn't and I think it s a driver problem.
  The sound card that is installed on this laptop is compatible with Sound Blaster Pro and Windows Sound System.
  The computer uses a YMF744B. The YMF744B integrates master audio bus PCI, 64 optical interface of synthesis wavetable, AC-2 interface and control AC97 CODEC.
  In case you would recommend for Yamaha YMF752 or the driver that supports the chip YMF752 you are looking for the most recent driver.

• Question about the installation of Win XP on Satellite Pro P200

  Hello

  I have a lot of problems with Vista. First it took me a week to install my printer WiFi. (sollution: install local lpt1 as the printer, change port properties en gives a location network (computer/printername).)
  Last problem: vista give no right to copy my USB hd protable with xp files.

  Finally, I lost all hope and want to go back to xp.

  Is there anyone with experience in the installation of win xp on this laptop. And is it possible to tell me the steps that you have been taken to do so.
  Are there concerns as none have some drivers, things that do not work or problems with sata hd.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

  First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

  Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

  If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

I want to install then I 7 RC as a new installation on drive C with the possibility to go back to Vista if you need and have the laptop works on the original factory configuration.

  Hello

  What the BIOS has been installed on your laptop?
  If you use the Toshiba BIOS so there could be an option called configuration of the device.
  (it s is available on my Satellite)

  You change the option for all devices, you will be able to change the PC Card controller mode. I think you should play a little with this option.
  In other cases, the user was able to resolve a similar issue by changing this option.

  Please report if you re successful because it would be very interesting for me.

• My original OS 7 Home Basic Edition (purchased): problem of Installation of Win 10

  Windows has AUTOMATICALLY upgraded to Win Ultimate who, as the replies received from your good end, has been described as false.

  To date, I had downloaded (free) Win 10, but when installing, I received a msg stating putting touches of the original VER of Win 7 Home Basic Edition (which I bought) and then click Refresh.

  Please notify: (a) I would require to REINSTALL my house 7 the CD database (since upgraded Ultimate is false since it was produced Acer OEM - SLP Win 7 Ultimate, and mine is customer built Gigabyte motherboard) before Win 10 could be installed.

  (b) if I didn't need to REINSTALL WIN 7 Home Basic, then how and where to insert the product keys (for Win 7 home basic) to allow the installation of win 10?

  Windows 7 can not auto-level to a ultimate edition. He must intentionally upgraded or a non-genuine Windows 7 Ultimate product key has been used for the Express upgrade.

  Your best option is to reinstall Home Basic, reactivate and then upgrade.

  Or, if you have basic Windows 7 Home Edition product key, you can use it to perform a new installation:
