Need to install XP on a system with VISTA, but it won't let me!
I recently discovered that when I upgraded to Vista, I lost the use of my webcam and in order to fix properly, I have to reload a fresh install of XP, obtain the driver and then upgrade to Vista. Problem is when I boot the XP cd and try to install a new copy of XP, the message that I get is I have not all installed hard drives. I guess this is a feature of Vista security and I want to know how to get around this problem. I know the utility FDisk BACK has been useful in more installed, but alas, this utility is not found on XP disks. Suggestions welcome, thank you.
If the hard drive is SATA you need SATA drivers (from the cd XP doesn't have everything). Or disable the AHCI in the BIOS. However, this can also affect Vista. Or you might have to refomat the hard drive, put XP and Vista (installing 2 operating systems)

Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.
Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.
- Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
- "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected
Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.

I deleted win7, but I don't completely deleted im trying to install xp but it won't let me tells me there is an error
Why would you want to remove Win7?
Anyway, if you go through the steps to install XP via boot from the installation CD, this would include removal of the partition containing Win7, then create a new one and install XP on it. If you did that and instead deleted manually the files in Win7, so yes you can get an error.
Can you tell us how you "deleted win7" and says that the error?

The recovery discs are for the particular computer, they came with.
If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopSee you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

Impossible to install Win2003 Server to dualboot with Vista on Equium L350 - 10L
Hello
I have Windows Vista preinstalled on my Equium L350 - 10L. I wanted to install Windows 2003 server on another partition in order to dual boot between the 2 operating systems. When I start with the install of Win2003 CD and access the Setup screen, I get the following error: «Setup didn't find any hard drives installed in your computer» I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) I have need to install the drivers for the SATA controller during the installation when he says "press F6 to install 3 pary SCSI or RAID drivers. I have two problems: 1. I can't find the drivers for the SATA for EQUIUM L350 - 10 L controller, 2. the laptop is not a floppy drive - which is the only way to install drivers during installation. Helpful suggestions and solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.Hello
It is important to doesn´t if toshiba does not explicitly have the F6Floppy drivers for your machine. You can go to www.intel.com and download the drivers from F6Floppy from there.
On the issue of the 'no-floppy", you can easily find a way just in slipstreaming with nlite for self made Win2003 Server drivers CD.
To learn more about "slipstreaming" CD with nLite, simply type 'Nlite slipstream XP ICHM8' or some of these words in google and you will find all THE answers. Or you use the forum search and find only 10000 messages on this slipstreaming with nlite, etc...

Hello
the problem is that windows xp is not supported by this machine toshiba. But if you really need XP, you can try the following:
1. install 'Virtual PC' on your Vista system and then use your XP Vista or
2. collect since internet pilots. I want to say is: know what material is built into the machine (e.g. Vga is nvidia geforce-> go to www.nvidia.com, chipset intel-> go to www.intel.com and so on) and you have a machine with features limited under XP.
This is the point, everything's all right to vista. :(

Okay, so I recently bought a laptop... About two weeks ago now, I think that... It's a Dell Studio 17, and it runs on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. So far, I had a lot of problems to install programs on it. When I tried to install AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) it wouldn't download; I finally managed to do install via the start menu somehow...
BUT now LENS won't let me sign... but that's another story! lol - the real thing that worries me is not able to install games. I just bought the Sims 3 and after inserting the disc, choose a language and a count of the wizard InstallShield, once I have access to the license agreement page and click on 'I agree' and click 'Next' an error message pops up saying something about impossible to install. He has a huge long error code and I don't know what that means. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the drive, so I went back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. When I got home and tried to install it again, it's the same thing. Then I tried to install another game that I have (Zoo Tycoon - Zookeeper edition) just to see if any game would work... It's the same thing; before he actually started to install an error message came. The first error message said something to have an invalid character in some way... ? ! (no idea...) Then an other error message pops up something else I didn't really...
So, as you can see, there must be something wrong with my laptop. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE. I would appreciate advice...!Hello
