  • Windows XP Home Edition has lost drive of installation and CD Key - cannot repair windows (damaged WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file)

    I can't start Windows XP Home Edition at all - everything I try to do using the Advanced Options results in the same error message screen (Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...). I can't do a repair installation because my friend who has built my computer and installed my operating system lost the disc to install Windows XP Home Edition and the CD Key, I ordered. I can't find anyone else who has their record.

    Is there a way I can fix the system without the authentic installation disk files? If not, is there a way I can receive a free/good Windows installation disc market replacement of Microsoft? Also, I don't want to lose any documents on my computer in the process.

    Thanks for the help!

    Have you tried 'XP No Boot troubleshooting steps' sticky post at the top of this forum?

    As this issues happens several times a day and your system falls into any category to start, why not start there and see if that helps?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes pulling and buttons power)

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so it must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and setting that may solve your problem completely, but you must start there.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

    You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console when no XP CD is available by following the instructions in this link:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

    C:\WINDOWS

    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

    Chkdsk /r

    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    For Windows XP Home edition, you will find RAID driver for download.

  • Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

    I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

    I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

    What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

    "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Luke

    PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

    The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
    Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

    John

    Hello

    about the noise I recommend going to www.realtek.com and download the driver from there, which would be much better then the driver on the toshiba site. :)

    In regards to your webcam I Don t know how to help you because I watched the driver download page and I found something didn t. Maybe you should try the camera of another model software since the cameras are the same. I read on some forums (not here) that users tried with their machines and it worked for them.

    It s worthy to give it a try.

  • Equium L30 - no sound in Windows XP Home edition

    I have read all the messages for the sound with Realtek HD audio problem but still no sound on my laptop. I tried to install software patches from Microsoft, I tried to install the vista drivers but nothing works. The sound is properly installed but when I go into Winamp or any other media device I can't hear anything. No sound windows, nothing, but the device is not functioning properly.

    All these problems are Windows XP Home edition. In Windows Vista, I have no problem at all. I have an Equium L30. Help, please! Excuse for my English.

    You already mentioned that you have already installed Windows (patch) patches.
    Well, the problem is that you must reinstall these patches at first and then you could install driver sound. These fixes are needed; Fixes KB888111 and KB835221.

    The audio driver (Realtek HD Audio) can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page!

    Good luck and greetings ;)

  • Drivers Toshiba for Windows XP Home edition and VISTA fpr a Satellite Pro P100 - PSPAH

    Hello.

    I need help. I bought a Satellite pro P100 - PSPAH with Vista Premium Home edition version of recovery. Now, I want to install a second operating system such as Windows XP Home edition on this laptop. The problem is that Windows XP Home edition did not find 3 drivers. For sound, LAN and another device. For this reason I update my notebook with the latest chipset drivers, but the problem is still there. Vista now has problems with the drivers, too. I can't find the special driver on toshiba home page.

    Jens MFG

    Hello

    I understand your problem at the moment that I also prefer XP instead of Vista operating system.
    Vista needs simply too many resources for laptop and all applications and 3rd devices are not 100% supported by Vista.

    But what say man seems to find compatible drivers on chip manufacturing sites.
    Download and install a tool called Everest or other similar hardware diagnostic tool and try to find out what LAN and sound chips are used in your laptop!
    Then, you can search drivers Intel, Realtek, etc... pages

    You know the website driver Toshiba Canada?
    http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

    There you will find also some Pro P100 series. Try these drivers. It's worth a try.

  • Portege M700 - need drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64

    Hello

    I recently bought a Portege M700
    It comes preinstalled with Vista on the disc.

    Now, I got an original Win XP x 64 and all my programs are not really compatible with Vista. If I want to install Win XP x 64.
    I have install Windows XP Home edition x 64, but there are no drivers for it, only for drivers vista and Windows XP tablet pc edition.

    Is it possible to find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64?

    Someone at - it already had a problem like this one?

    in any case thank you already for the answer.

    Hello

    I doubt that you can get 64-bit drivers for Windows XP for this laptop from the Toshiba driver page.
    I didn t find drivers for Windows XP 64 bits for Toshiba laptops.
    Why? I think the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and most of the applications have been designed for XP 32 bit OS.

    If install you XP 64-bit on this computer, you will have to look in the various 3rd party Web sites for the compatible drivers

    Good luck

  • Impossible to install the new Windows XP Home edition from scratch on Tecra S3

    With F6 in WXP install driver Toshiba raid (from USB floppy drive) properly installed first, partionating disc ok, continue to install Windows XP Home edition.
    WXP wants then again Toshiba raid drivers, installing WXP because he's not reading USB floppy (undirected). Do I need the recovery CD that I don't have.

    Hi guys

    I had a similar problem installing RAID on my old Qosmio.
    I didn't use the restore CD but the simple Microsoft Windows Boot CD.
    The problem was my incorrect installation procedure.

    After the installation of the driver the USB FDD drive RAID, the configuration of the installation works fine until I formatted the HARD drive or partition.
    This has been bad! Don't format or delete the partition after installing the RAID driver!

    In addition, make sure you use the right set of RAID! These settings can be checked in the BIOS! My Qosmio user manual provides lots of information about RAID. Did you check your user manual which settings are required to install the OS of Win CD?

    Do and good luck!

  • Windows XP Home edition has crashed - how to return WXP and use with the product key?

    Hello. I bought an Equium L20 last year and after 1 year my windows crashed due to a virus. I want to know how to get a real windows xp OS because the product under my laptop key is always saved for me and is a legitimate product but I can't get windows because it was obviously preinstalled and no CD was given to me with the package.

    How can I get back Windows to use with my product key on my WIN sticker below my laptop.

    Hello

    First of all, it is very strange that recovery CD is not delivered with your laptop. It's hard to believe, but anything is possible. As you know after buying a new product, it is very important to check all orders sent with it and if something is missing, you must call the local as soon as possible and not to wait a year.

    Sorry but this key code belongs to original recovery image and you can't use it with every installation of Windows XP Home edition CD. In your case, there are two options:
    -You can buy the CD of facilities Microsoft original WXP (with the key correctly code) or
    -Contact the partner of service allowed in your country and order the new CD from recovery for your laptop model.

    All that s!

    Bye and good luck!
