• Installation of Windows XP Home edition on the new Satellite Pro L550

  Hello

  I have a new satellite Pro L550 and need to downgrade to XP. If I want to go back to Windows 7 that I can in the future?

  Thank you, Lisa

  Hello Lista

  In my opinion you should look forward and begin using the new Windows7 operating system. It is really good OS, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba laptops.
  Please note that you have most recent laptop with newer hardware model designed for standards of Win7.
  Yes, you can install Win7 when you want.

  Win7 is fully supported and you won't have any problems with it.
  To return to Windows XP edition family has no much sense to me, except to use some old software designed for Windows XP Home edition only.

  Anyway, what model of laptop you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

• Preparation of an installation of Windows XP Home edition CD with a MINIMUM required drivers for A200-1AX

  Greetings,

  I am trying to install Windows XP Home edition on my old days by Satellite A200-1AX. Today, I tried to boot from the CD of Windows XP Home edition or after the copy of the system files, the laptop produces the error that Setup did not find any hard disk during the Installation of Windows XP. I looked on the internet and found the following page:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows/resolving-Setup-did-not-find-any-hard-disk-drives-during-Windows-XP-installation/

  Explains how to resolve this problem. So I try to make my own installation CD of Windows XP Home edition with the necessary drivers. My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running? It is not necessary to install the drivers for all the A200-1AX since the first installation of XP, I can always go back and install those remaining of the XP; but I don't want the installation process interrupted due to a missing driver where I have to repeat the process of manufacturing more install of WXP CD custom. The list of drivers and devices provided by Toshiba is too long to write on a single installation with XP CD.

  My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

  If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?

  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  Best regards, Ashraf.

  > My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running

  You will need to include only the Intel Matrix Storage Manger for the XP CD again. Without this iMSM XP will not see the HARD drive
  This driver is important. Other drivers can be installed after the installation of XP!

  > My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

  There are 2 versions of BIOS; One for Vista and one for XP. Generally, the update of the BIOS must be made before the instillation of OS but you can also try to do after installing XP. In both cases, the update of the BIOS would be possible.

  > If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?
  Generally, Yes! Without the good BIOS features like the FN buttons could not work properly!

• How do you determine the activations how I left on an installation of windows xp home edition

  I have a pc I erased some viruses and malware, but seems to have a corrupted registry. I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition several times with the cd that I bought at the store a few years back. It was my understanding I could install this particular cd not more than 5 times for a single pc. Over the years I've lost track of the way that many times I reinstalled and reactivated this facility. What should I do to see how many activations I left before I reformat and reinstall with this cd and find out that I don't have a working after all installation?

  There is no limit to the number of times you can activate a retail Windows XP version as long as it is only to be installed/reinstalled on one computer.  However, the relocations within a relatively short time may ask you to activate Windows XP by phone.

  No, I don't want a pirated... version that's why I'm here in the first place... where the * I can find an edition of OS INSTALLATION CD [i] [/ i] for Windows XP Home Edition... I don't want to win. 7 OR Win. Vista... the computer is not yet able to execute even when... They both require too much CPU/ram...

  The computer is currently running Ubuntu (a Linux distro.) but with how old is the computer, he can't run most programs I would like to...

  The sticker key product or something else, says 'Windows XP Home Edition, HPQ'

  Hello rutofteaching,

  Because the certificate of authenticity (CoA) has "HPQ" on that, we know that it is a HP or Compaq computer.  Please contact HP/Compaq support to see if you can order a recovery disc for the computer.  If the original motherboard is still in the computer, it is always allowed to run Windows XP Home Edition HP/Compaq.

  Departure to this page by using HP/Compaq: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

  If none of the recovery discs are available from HP/Compaq, please try other suppliers such as www.restoredisks.com.

  In a pinch, you can borrow real Microsoft hologrammed XP Home installation disc a friend provided with licenses from Microsoft for XP Home Edition OEM/systembuilder/small manufacturer.  Installation using this CD and the product key located on CoA on your computer and NOT the product key provided with the CD. After installation, you must activate by telephone and NOT by an automatic online activation.

  As others have posted, there is nowhere on the Microsoft site that you can download an ISO file or equivalent for Windows XP Edition family.  You wouldn't use a downloaded disk even if you could find one elsewhere on the internet because they are probably packed full of malware, rootkits, and who knows what else - not what you want to infest your computer with.

  Hello everyone,

  I have 2 laptops (Toshiba Satellite A200) but in different model
  A200-1z3 and A200-1ub
  I need to install XP on them and they have VISTA OS

  I have the drivers but I've heard that I need to install the driver SATA HD

  I'm not sure what to do.

  Could you help me please!

  Note:
  Windows XP Home for A200-1ub so I can I use it for other phones
  Please accurately.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You should search here in the forum for similar topics and you will find the answer soon ;)

  Just for the note;
  Toshiba has published several documents that might help you to install the SATA drivers and to include it in the XP CD:
  [How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

  Driver SATA can be found on the Intel page too. An Intel Matrix Storage Manger contains these files needed to SATA.
  Please look for the IMSM package that contains the folder 'F6flpy '!

• New installation of Windows XP Home edition on Qosmio F20 - sound card errors

  Hello

  I am one of those who is very reckless on internet and download a lot of spam and viruses along the way. I keep, but I'm also obsessive compulsive on the backup of my important files, so when my computer flip out on me, I just wipe it clean and continue!

  I stick to windows XP because some software I use still does not work on Vista, and I also install a completely new copy of XP instead of recovery as bundles of Toshiba with my laptop. Why? Because I lost it...

  Anyway, I've been tracking the drivers to get the last bits of the material work and all seem to work well! The only problem I have is with the (Yes, you guessed it!) sound card driver!

  I have a Qosmio F20 and have no idea of what sound card is actually inside this thing, I have always used SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio drivers and they do most of the work very well, but they seem to have problems when I try to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Soundbooth. Both programs complain that there is no sound card and then refuse to open,

  As far as I know, the driver that I use is by 'Analog Devices' and v5.12.1.5240. I don't know if it's really any help at all!

  Does anyone know which driver is correct to use and where to find it, or is the fault, I have just an inevitable?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Pav

  Hello Pav

  Have you installed Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2 included?

  On the Toshiba download page, there is a driver available and I do not understand why you think that this is not the right one. The same driver will be installed if you use recovery CD/DVDs.

• installation of Windows XP Home Edition, 32-bit SP2, cd purchased from retail store

  Last week I didn't buy a desktop pc on eBay and I just discovered that there is NO operating system. Four years ago, that I bought a cd to upgrade in a retail store at the level of Windows ME to Windows XP, because Windows Me support was over. I went and bought a box of upgrade (with cd, directions, product key, etc.) in a local store. I installed it, and after completing my computer memory was much too little, then, I went and bought a pc brand new with Vista already intalled by the manufacturer of the computer. Back to my question...

  Can I now use this cd to install an operating system on my computer, I bought the week last in eBay? The pc on which I have installed initially that XP has been scrapped and lifting off of me more than 4 years ago. And also, if I can use it, immediately install SP3 from Microsoft? The computer) that will be installed (which used computer eBay I bought last week) will be used as a 'save', because in a few days, ironically, I get a pc brand new.

  I would appreciate any input from anyone. Thank you!!

  Unless you have a CD to install Windows 98 or Windows ME authentic to insert in the drive when asked to do so during the installation of Windows XP, then you won't be able to use the Windows XP upgrade disk since you won't be able to prove that you have a Windows license qualification to be upgraded.

• Re-installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on laptop it was installed before

  I have a Toshiba laptop (model A665-S6050) that I fixed. He had a broken screen and hard drive was dead. I tried to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit from a disc that came with another computer and using the product key on the bottom of the laptop. It did not work. Is there a good way to do a fresh install on this laptop, and I need a specific installation DVD? Where can I get this, and what is the procedure of re - install Windows 7 and activate it?

  Hello

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  As you have a license of preinstalled OEM (Toshiba), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, If they are still available...

  Or you can also borrow the same exact detail Windows 7 Edition DVD and use your product key to reinstall.

  The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  

  See you soon.
