Problems of decommissioning with CD of Vista to XP 7062

Hi, I have 2 disk of Lenovo Vista Business with XP Pro downgrade:

1: A62 XP Pro boot.

2: A62 XP Pro Recovery Disk

I'm not having any success downgrading to Windows XP using these CD.

Can someone please help by describing the steps required in order to downgrade the computer successfully.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Derek

Derek, welcome to the forum,

After you have booted from the boot disk R & R you choose System Restore, as you did, but then choose to restore to factory condition.  What you described sounds like you choose to restore from a backup.

As you have only two disks to make sure that when you are asked if you have a disk of "Suplemental" that click you 'No', he will then ask the first recovery disk.

Hope this helps

  • I have a problem with a Gamehouse game. Talked to them and they say that it is a problem of compatiablity with Vista.

    I have a problem with a Gamehouse game

    Talked to them and they say that it is a problem of compatiablity with Vista. It's Super Jigsaw Puzzle and I the hours worked in several puzzles and now when I try to go inside he closes Super Puzzle. This is frustinating because I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program 3 times, it does not help. Is that what I can do to fix this problem in Vista? I have all the updates except IE 8.  We like IE7, but all the other updates sent we have.

    If it is a program downloaded and installed, read this:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

    Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
    It works for some programs, but not all.

    This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

    If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on setup.exe O run as admin.

    See you soon.

  • SDHC card do not work on the Satellite A200-1J0 with a clean Vista install

    Greetings,

    When I bought this laptop he had 32-bit Vista preinstalled and as usual some Toshiba drivers and software. As I remember there wasn't that no problem with no built in memory card reader, he read regular SD and SDHC cards.

    One day I had to reinstall the operating system (without using the recovery disc) and I downloaded the drivers for my laptop's official website, install and the card reader now is not able to read SDHC cards. Is it me?

    That's what I installed for the reader:

    -Toshiba Value Added Package, where is TOSHIBA Flash Cards inside
    -Flashmedia driver
    Utilities - SD

    I just want to underline that there is no problem with reading mmc or normal sd cards.
    My sdhc card is 100% works correctly with other card readers.
    Another sdhc card I have does not work, it's just that I put anything inside the player.

    Just nothing happens.
    Is there something else that I missed, and it is the reason for my problem?

    No fix for Vista or something like that?

    Hello

    You the problem with SD cards are certainly related to the software I think that your drivers/utilities are installed isn't properly (in order) or on Vista may miss something.

    Maybe you don t know what important thing;
    It is very important to install the driver (no matter that drivers;) XP or Vista) in the right order.
    For most an installation instruction is placed on the page of the European driver Toshiba, which contains the essential installation order.

    As I m not wrong not the A200-1J0 belongs to the series PSAE6E and you must choose this series first to get all the compatible drivers for you series.

    By the way;

    The Flash Media Driver is a bridge Media Slot driver. This slot allows you to insert an SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture cards.
    The SD utilities contains utility Format SD Memory Card and other SD functions like utility of SD memory.

    These three applications are very important to use SD cards.
