  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 heard about a program called [NLITE]
  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 '!

• Cannot install Windows XP Home edition on the new HDD in Tecra S3

  Hey,.

  I bought a second hand without HARD drive laptop, so I bought a new Samsung's HARD drive with 120 GB yesterday. I have it rolls in my Tecra laptop and it started. But for some reason, there are problems.

  Already, I have downloaded the driver for the RAID and I took it on a diskette. I also have an external floppy drive, but when it finished installing the driver and Windows Setup should start the computer always says he could not install on this partition because he doesn't? t can be accessed.

  I formatted the HARD drive a few times but nothing helped... I don't have a system recovery disk and I tried already with integrating the driver configuration via nLite.
  But now there is something new. Whenever the installation should start there is a blue screen that tells me I have to reboot the PC and check the virus or take out the HARD drive.

  The biggest problem is the laptop is the Dutch...
  I hope someone can help me, ja? m really desperate!

  Hey,.
  Yesterday, I saw that I was using a hp installation Windows Disk. The HP disk does not work on my Toshiba?

• Installation in Windows Vista Home Premium on the new hard drive

  I try to install Vista on a new hard drive.  All right until the END of the INSTALLATION is made.  Then the screen turns black with just the mouse showing.  What's wrong?

  We have no idea of the history of this computer or which has been installed on it.

  If you try to install Vista using recovery disk/s of the computer manufacturer, contact them for any problem with him.

  It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

  See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

• 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!

• What is covered by this license number for me? It's windows xp home edition on the label.

• 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.

• Satellite U300 - peripheral unknown after the installation of Windows XP Home edition

  Greetings from the Spain.

  Hello

  -Module PCI Memory Controller Missing Robson, that it is not available for Windows XP Home edition and it will always appear in the Device Manager. It should not bother you at all.
  -Unknown device, I'm afraid that you forgot something. I don't know what, but it can be map or maybe utility password drive controller.

  Please make sure that you have installed stuff all listed according to document Instructions of facilities. The order of the facilities is also very important.

• Unable to activate Windows XP Home Edition after the repair facility.

  Of that, I was running a Dell Dimension 5000 bought from the Dell website in 2005. After this computer from run very slowly, I decided on an upgrade. So I removed the hard drive of this computer with XP Home Installation and everything what it intact and plugged the hard drive into a completely new computer (that I bought and customized piece by piece). I also installed Windows XP Pro using the ability of XP to run dualboot. Now the Pro works well, but has of course none of the programs of the host OS installed as even if Pro and Home are installed on the same drive C, Pro of course did not the registry of home settings. That's fine, but when I chose the House to the splash screen immediately after my computer upward once again, I have encountered an error saying that Windows has shut down the computer to prevent damage etc. by a blue screen of death. So I fixed installed House, by inserting the Home CD in the CD drive (which is also new and I bought, not even the one from my old computer to 2005), choice of APPETIZER and not the repair console and then clicking R to repair the detected existing OS. I fixed installed and I was thrilled when the problem has been resolved. When I chose the House and after having set up, I was greeted by the familiar screen with users that I had set up on my PC of 2005. When I clicked the user admin, typed the password, he accepted the password and then a box came up saying I had to activate Windows before I could open a session. By clicking on the number resulted in the user disconnects automatically before the start menu or desktop appeared. Clicking Yes led me to a screen that gives me the choice to choose between online and phone activation. As my entire computer (except for the hard drive) is new, the internet network adapter is also new, and that's why the internet settings (the 2005 model old) which I had not yet changed on the Pro Installation do not allow me to activate via the net. I tried via telephone following all the instructions and punch in the 25 digit code generated by the wizard in the phone and told me that the operator could not generate a code (for me 2 type in the boxes provided and therefore use to activate XP Home). I then shut down the PC, went to the installation of Pro, changed the IP settings according to the instructions given to me by the ISP to the phone and checked the net now works on installation of Pro IE. It worked, and I now turned off, chose the House and tried to activate on the net and there is not yet well make sure that my computer is connected to the net. I even clicked on the phone option and changed my ID by typing my OEM 25 product key numbers and clicking Refresh. I tried again by phone and still could not activate my installation in a House. The installation CD home I used was the 2 me by my Builder (a purple disk saying OPERATING SYSTEM: ALREADY INSTALLED on YOUR COMPUTER). This CD certainly isn't a forgery because I ordered directly from DELL and not even the 2005 Bill to prove it. Is it because I changed my system components and not my hard drive with it, which is the origin of this problem? How can I fix this without backup everything and remove the installation of the House and then re - install?

  In fact the Windows XP Pro has been installed by the people who moved the hard drive to the new computer. I never asked for it. But remove XP Pro still wouldn't solve my problem. I need to find a way to use my original of 25 characters product key or get a key of success generated by phone so that I can log on to Windows XP Home Edition and continue to use my PC as how I used my old. Some people have told me that I can convince to install MS by phone that I transferred the disk hard - 2 a new computer and then tried a repair but the problem is that all the numbers given on Activation Wizard phone are automated, giving instructions, asking the ID generated by the wizard and then telling me that they are unable to generate an ID for activation. If there is human here, how do you convince a machine of my innocence :)

  You need to reinstall using an XP Home OEM disk - see if one of your friends has one you can borrow. The key on your COA sticker will be valid for this.
  You can also contact Dell and ask them to provide a set of disks in your machine - for a price.

• Installation of Windows XP Home Edition _ ~ No. CD__ ~ Yes produced Code__ ~ Yes CD or floppy disk bootable__ ~ original OS

  I want to install Windows on the computer, that I got from my grandmother, and yet I don't have the install CD for Windows XP Home edition... I have not however product code...

  Yes, I looked everywhere on the Microsoft Web site and cannot find a CD installation for my life... It's only commercials for Windows 7 and Vista... (Which I will NOT and CAN NOT afford), as well as service packs, but not the real [i] OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION [/ i] I need...

  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...

  [b] the only thing I need, is the DISC of INSTALLATION OS [i] [i] so I can re - install Windows on my computer... [/ b]

  Now where can I get one?

  (1) Yes it's retail...
  (2) I got from my grandmother , who got it years ago... and apparently could not find the disk win...

  I installed Ubuntu on it... The computer allows a parallel installation for my life, so it was a clean install... complete wipe/format and installation.

  Turns out it works better with Win XP, with only being able to support Opengl 1.8... Cannot run anything effectively with ubuntu on the computer except for internet browsers...

  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.
