Problem installing WXP

Seems OK, the wife dropped the laptop while it was on and now it does not start correctly.
Recovery option did not work and I don't want to buy the CD of restoration of £30. I want to receive a ball of Vista anyway and go back to XP.

Sounds like there is a corruption of boot, but I'm a bit stuck here how to install XP.

Problem is, well here is a picture from when I try to install XP from the disk. There are a few partitions with no name.

Looks like they are empty... but the Vista installation and the files are there somewhere. I can boot into linux from a live CD and find documents intact (phew) but can't burn it to a disk (grrr).

So, how can I install XP?

If I press c to create a new partition, there is room for 1498MB...

Help please!

Thank you.

What I see on the screenshot is the typical structure of partition of disk on Toshiba laptop pre-installed with Vista.

-Unpartitioned space is WinRE partition and belongs to Vista
C and D are the OS partitions.

So if you want to install Windows XP Home edition, I recommend allows you to delete all partitions. In the early days, then C, and at least this score of 1.5 GB. After doing this create new partition C and installing WXP on this.

Later, Windows XP Home edition, you can activate second partition.

BTW: what model of laptop do you have? Check if your laptop is supported WXP. I hope that you will find that all of the drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

  • Installing WXP on Satellite L30 - 10Y

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L30 - 10Y (PSL33E 03L031EN) (about 2 years), it is running Vista (installed come) and I'll replace it with XP pro SP3.
    I already have the drivers (from the Division of driver Toshiba), but I wonder if there are any issues that anyone knows how I could run in this case?

    I installed OS to my house several times, built offices with absolutely no problems whatsoever, but various articles I read there seems to be a bit of a 'ball game' different when it comes to laptops?
    Also I have Vista disks more so if XP will not install I can not simply go back to Vista.

    Tips, advice or warnings very welcome...

    Thanx

  • Satellite M70: How to install WXP Pro without SP with SATA drivers?

    I know that this topic is discussed repeatedly,
    I get a blue screen when I try to install WXP pro... blah blah blah

    The solution is to install the SATA drive.

    The problem is that I don't have a floppy drive to install the SATA drive, so what can I do?

    Hello

    The use of the disk is the best way to install the SATA or RAID drivers.
    But I searched a bit on the net and found nLite.
    You can use nLite and include the drivers then you do not have to use the

    Hello, my friend

    To be honest, I don't understand what you mean with this error message. The fact is that report of people here on the problems with the installation of Windows XP Home edition because the HARD drive is not visible when installing WXP begins.

    To install Windows XP edition family on this laptop you need Intel Matrix Storage Manager and you can download it from the Toshiba support page. When installing Windows XP Home edition begins to press F6 and load this driver. The HARD drive will be recognized correctly and you can continue the installation of Windows XP Home edition. The problem is that you need USB floppy drive. You get one somewhere?

  • Installing WXP on Satellite A300D 11s

    Hello, all.

    This question has already been asked not so long ago, but I would like to know more details. Do I need to use the Intel Matrix Storage HARD drive driver for installing WXP on Vista? Judging by the manufacturer of CPU - AMD - I have not. How the problem of 'visibility' SATA then be resolved? Or not be no problem at all?

    If you have already answered a question the same origin, can John, you please respond to mine? Maybe somebody could answer?

    What other problems can I face to replace Vista with the good old Windows XP Home on my A300D?

    Thanks in advance.

    How about you, the use of the nLite?
    nLite may include the SATA driver in XP operating system CD.
    So you n t overall 104MB just need only take the view the SATA driver files and include it using a nLite ;)

    Google for nLite and you'll get more details!

  • Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp

    Hello

    I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
    To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
    switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.

    Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
    After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.

    Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.

    Hello

    > switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.

    The two methods are good!
    You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
    It works for sure!

    The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).

    I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
    If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.

    Check it!

  • Problem installing PCI-6220

    Hello

    I have problems installing a PCI-6220. The card has been installed a couple of years on a PC and rarely used. I withdrew from the it and connected to a new PC (Intel core i3 2.93 GHz, Windows7). After installing the card on the new PC in a first time, I could read the name of PCI6220 under 'Devices and interfaces' (in the program MAX) but I´d not been able to define it as a device. So I tried to remove the card and plug it in again and now the situation is even worse, I only see an "unidentified PXI system" in the program of MAX.

    Any idea what bad and what can do to make sure that the card does not work properly? As a reference, I need to connect to a CA-1000 enclosure housing a CB-68LPR device.

  • IPod Classic 7 G 160 GB ' there was a problem installing this hardware: Apple iPod USB Device ".

    I have recently (June 2014) bought a brand new Ipod Classic 7 G 160 GB Model A1238.

    Whenever I connect via USB to a PC running XP SP3 and Itunes V10.0.7.2 it is always treated as if it were a new connection, i.e. "new hardware found". After trying to install it, it says so "cannot install this hardware" and "there was a problem installing this hardware: Apple iPod USB Device."
    I have also a 2009 16 GB Ipod Nano 4 G model 1285 and this is recognized by the PC whenever it is connected through the USB port itself.
    I connected the Ipod Classic 7 G to a laptop running Vista and Itunes V10.0.7.2 where the Ipod is recognized and installed.

    Even if the PC States that there is a problem installing the Ipod, it still appears in Itunes and I can download music to it and disconnect by using safe mode disconnect.

    PC XP SP3 - Ipod Classic
    I watched "Device Manager" under "Drives", the Ipod Classic is listed as an "Apple Ipod USB Device", but has an exclanation score against it.

    Right-click on the 'Apple Ipod USB Device' properties and the "Volumes" tab it shows the drive with the exact name and the size of the data, by clicking on the properties of "Driver" tab it says 'Unknown' driver provider, driver Date and Driver Version as being "not available". By clicking on the "Driver Details" properties, it shows a driver file-

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\PartMgr.sys, File Version 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp080413-2108).

    Under "Device Manager" USB controllers, there is an entry for "Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver" and a "USb Mass Storage Device"

    The 'Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver' lists two drivers:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\usbaapl.sys and
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\usbaaplrc.sys

    The "USB Mass Storage Device" list a driver:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\USBSTOR. SYS

    PC XP SP3 - Ipod Nano

    I repeated the steps above with the Ipod Nano, connected to the PC and the driver provider is presented as Microsoft with the driver as 07/01/01 Date and Version of the driver as 5.1.2535.0.
    In the "Driver Details" properties, it shows TWO driver files:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\disk.sys AND meanings
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\PartMgr.sys.
    At the same time with the Version of the file 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp080413-2108).

    The 'Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver' and "USB Mass Storage Device" are the same as for the Ipod Classic.

    I followed the procedure to remove Itunes and even the update to Itunes to V11.2.2 nothing works.

    I am aware that the system is also that XP can now be updated.

    So, why not not Windows Installer Ipod Classic and why the disk.sys driver does not appear

    According to the details of the pilot?

    Is the 7 G Ipod Classic not compatible with XP SP3?

    Yes it is compatible with XP SP3.
