NOTE: you will need a license for XP Pro SP2(it should work with Sp1 and Home, but runs better on Pro SP2)!

First download and install nLite. http://www.nliteos.com/download.html (requires .NET Framework version 2.0, you can download .NET Framework from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en)

Now download and extract the slipstream drivers into a folder like C:\Drivers-temp\ http://files.soulpass.com/acer/slipstream_drivers.zip

Insert your WinXP installation disc, exit the autorun if it appears.

Start nLite, click Next on the start screen. Tell him where is your CD. It will ask you to tell him where to cache the files to. You can simply use a folder like C:\XP-temp\ for this.

On the predefined settings screen, click Next again. Now click the button drivers, as well as the "Bootable ISO" button, then click on "next".

On drivers screen, click Insert, and then several driver's record. NLite to the location where you extracted the drivers slipstream, such as C:\Drivers-temp\ and click OK.

In the select several drivers to integrate the window you will need to highlight the path to the Summit (for example, C:\Drivers-temp\) by clicking on it once, and then click OK.

In the window driver in Textmode integration Options integration options highlight the entire list by clicking once on the top element, then shift-click once on the background element. With this list still highlighted, click OK at the bottom.

Back on the drivers screen, click Next. Apply it changes: dialog box should appear asking if you really want to start the process. Click Yes.

Once the treatment is completed, you will need to click 'Next', how youâ ¢ will be taken to the final screen.

On the "Bootable ISO" screen, change the menu of 'Create Image' to 'Burn Direct' drop-down 'Mode '. Eject your WinXP disc and insert a blank disk into your burner. For security reasons, place a check next to "check".

Finally, click on burn.

Congratulations, you now have an installation disc, suitable for any Toshiba laptop with S - ATA hdd (in fact you can use it on any pc/laptop with S - ATA hard drive).

Now, you will need boot up your laptop on this disc. In order to be able to boot from the CD, we must first make a couple of quick changes in the BIOS of the laptop computers. In the BIOS, you will need to make sure that the first boot device is the DVD - RW drive.

NOTE: Make sure you backup all your data before continuing, because the next step will erase everything.

Restart the laptop with your new XP cd inserted, after it is started, the windows installer will ask you where you want to install Windows XP to: follow the prompts to delete all existing partitions, and then follow the prompts to create a new partition and install Windows XP to that. You can choose the "quick format" to speed things up.

Follow the rest of the messages guides for windows in the usual manner.

This solution was made to another mobile phone manufacturer but I just filled where it considers that Toshiba.

You will need the drivers for your system ready when XP complete installation, so be sure to download before starting all this and make a CD, you can use them again. Most chipsets Intel a driver for XP on Intels homepage.

What about Atheros, then you can find the drivers here: http://www.atheros.cz/

Many of the drivers of Toshiba Vista driver package runs on XP, just read the readme file or the inf file.

If you have any questions then let me know.

Hi Jan

It looks very nice and useful s. I'll give you 10 Rewards points ;)
I've seen lots of questions here on the procedure of installing XP on different laptops with controller SATA HDD.
I assume that you can use this solution on several laptops that were equipped with SATA controllers.

Best regards

    Hello

    Floppy drive is not necessary only for the drivers but for Storage Manager. Please download and extract all the files there. Later, when the WXp is installed you can download all the drivers directly in Windows XP Home edition and start the installation.

    Please download Installations instructions document and install all the stuff following this order of installations.
    Good luck!

  • How to install WinXP on Satellite L40-139?

    Einf.
    I can't install Windows XP Home edition on my laptop.

    If i press a key to start to install for a view very short time just "Setup inspects the hardware configuration of your computer' and then nothing happened.

    Have someone some practice with it?

    I assume you are using Microsoft WXP CD installations. Am I wrong? Is the visible HARD disk when you start the process facilities?

    I found a few topics on similar problems. As in the other thread suggested that you must first install an Intel Matrix Storage Manager before you continue the installation of XP. The installation is very easy. During the installation process you must press F6 to include the Intel Matrix storage manager from an external USB FDD drive.

    After this instillation please don t HARD drive format but continue installing XP

  • Re: How to install HDD on Satellite L300-19Y?

    Hi guys

    I'm not too good with computers but have bought a new HARD drive for my L-series I've been informed that my HARD drive is maybe broken due to errors when I perform chkdsk checks and the fact that it freezes and crashes randomly.

    In any case, could someone tell me how to install the HARD drive? I bought an another similar to the original hitachi in the laptop, that is to say sata, 2.5 ", but got a 250 GB, rather than the 160. What I have to install anything, or have complicated everything to do? I don't know how to install it physically just don't know if I have to use my discs of recovery or something like that?

    Bravo guys

    Hello

    There is no difficult things to do to swap the HARD drive. Which is a fairly simple process and he s done in 5 minutes I think.

    I have the Satellite L300 in front of me. To swap the HARD drive, turn off the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter. On the underside, you can find the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by 2 screws. Remove the screws and the cover of the HARD drive, you are now able to exchange the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know! :)

  • 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.

  • Installing WXP on Satellite L40 - 18Z

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop: SATELLITE L40 - 18Z, MODEL No. PSL48E. One of their salesmen dim wit forgot to mention that the warranty expires once you remove the VISTA machine.

    I make music and need for XP as no software has caught with VISTA yet.

    Someone out there has done this on this machine? It works if you download all the drivers for the model of the toshibas download section? When you have to install the drivers and through what media bring you on the machine? Do yuou should reformat the hard drive at all prior to xp?

    I'm not clued by all means on this side of things for any help/advice would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    > One of their salesmen dim wit forgot to mention that the warranty expires once you remove the VISTA machine.
    That s is not true.
    If you want, you can install the XP. That will not affect the warranty!

    If you want to install the Xp you simply boot from the XP CD.
    Then, you will need to include the SATA (Intel Storage Manager) driver using the F6 key during the installation procedure.

    All or all the drivers needed XP, you should find on the page of the pilot!

    See you soon

  • How to install Win7 on Satellite C870-190?

    Hi, I hope I'm posting in the category right forum then...

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite C870-190 and it doesn t want to start my windows 7 CD.
    I tried first with the DEL-button that opened the system startup when I start Notepad and then choose the CD-ROM device and do not want to load the CD and then I chose F2, the first unit on the boot to the CD-ROM section, still do not want to load it... the final solution, I tried to install it from the Windows 8 (current operating system) from my computer--> CD--> setup.exe, and then click INSTALL.

    My computer laptop doesn t have allowed me to install it even from Windows... on file copy screen to say... and then it gives me an error that says that the operation failed... What is happening with this laptop?

    How can I format my HARD drive and then install windows 7?

    Thank you

    At the beginning I will say that I hope that you have created a recovery media (DVD or USB) before you have begun to install Win7.

    Return to your Win7 installation. A long time ago I installed Win7 on friends U940 and the first stage was changing course startup in the BIOS settings mode - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
    After the installation Win7 has started successfully, but in my case the SATA driver support was necessary.

    Please check first and send comments.

  • How to install Sata on Satellite M70-340?

    My version of WinXP Pro does not see the HARD drive in sata mode. I read on the chipset and supports sata and my HARD drive. How can I install I do windows see my HARD drive in SATA mode. thanx

    Hello

    I'm a little confused about your ad.
    As far as I know the Satellite M70-340 has a SATA HDD and it should works with this mode. If you use the Toshiba Recovery CD so the AHCI (Intel SATA AHCI Controller) V5.1.0.1022 should pre-installed with the operating system.
    You must also install the Chipset (Intel ICH6M) V7.1.0.1014 first.

  • How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

    Please, I desperately need help.

    My brother bought a new Toshiba A300-23F in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
    It's on the screen threre.

    He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

    He gave me to fix the problem. Because it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista, but I do not have the disk recovery or operating any drive.

    How am I suppose to install windows vista?
    Someone told me that I have download the vista track and enter the key that is on the back of my laptop.

    Anyone with an idea. Please

    > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

    It was a big mistake buddy
    The recovery disk is not shipped with the laptop because he had a tool preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk that allows you to create a clean recovery disc.
    But this is not possible because the HARD disk has been formatted and all files have been deleted.

    Now, you would not be able to recover the camera even using HARD drive recovery because the files are not available on the HARD disk.

    You need a recovery disk, and you can order it here:
