• 2 questions about "redevelopment" from Vista to XP

  Someone I was talking about how much better my laptop worked when I "upgraded" from Vista home to XP Pro, and they wanted to do the same to theirs.
  They had licensed XP Home on a thumbnail for a computer with power poor diet (or the motherboard, I'm not sure) that they elected to replace rather than repair it some time ago.

  The person in question is not very computer, they asked me to proceed with the installation. When I reviewed the system, I found that the computer had a partition unused, called 'data '. The person think that the D drive was reserved for the CD, similar to the way that the reader appears sometimes on facilities without disks in older versions of Windows.

  I'm not 100% sure you have the correct drivers for the NETWORK adapter (is it still called CARD of Network Interface when based and integrated?), so I'm going to install it as a dual boot in order to obtain all the necessary drivers. I found the instructions to do this, but as Vista is installed on the first partition, I have trouble if I choose to delete the VIsta partition after that XP, I get up and running because of the MBR and the boot loader? I remember that you can install on one partition other than the one with Windows NT-based, so what would be the correct way to remove the first partition Vista, once I have XP properly put in place?

  Also, I think remember me something about the version of XP OEM (whatever it is) is illegal to install on another computer without count than the one for which it was purchased. Is this true? Have activation and WGA problems if I use this key?

  Do you want to say that for these particular brands, and you mean by 'not turn on' the Windows Activation that disables Windows after 30 days, correct?

  Well Yes. . Because if its a HP / Dell / Toshiba, Acer, the key will be in the restore cd / DVD (when install you it). And he'll know the diff, since the key is based on the model of the brand / and material. And if install you it on another system of your habit of material corresponding to the material to these portable computers or desktop computers

  If you mean the license and the legality about it, so I'll tell him it's not legal, and he needs a copy that is not an OEM version.

  Even if she was not preinstalled (on a laptop / desktop), it applies also to the OEM versions you buy.

  It MUST only be installed on a system. You may be able to install it on other computers, BUT if you can activate it is another matter. If you can't, you will have 30 days to activate

• Satellite A200-1NB: Question about downgrade from Vista to XP

  I bought a 1NB A200 and I intend to downgrade from Vista to XP.
  I would like to create a CD of tools and utilities, but do I need to do before the low grade or can I do after?

  Also, I have to change the BIOS for XP before you install on the system or install XP first and then modify the BIOS for XP after installation?

  Thanks for your help.

  *@Brown*

  Hello

  If possible, try to update the BIOS first, and then reinstall the operating system.

  I think you also need download all drivers Toshiba XP before installing XP on this OS. Without the LAN or WLan you will not be able to connect to internet ;)

  Good bye

• Questions about the discs of recovery and partitioning Satellite A200-QH0

  I bought a model of Satellite A200-QH0 in Australia and due to the lack of forums in our country, I would like to ask a few questions here if that's ok.

  The book contains 3 partitions - partition "EISA Configuration" of 1.6 GB, the great partition of the BONE and the recovery partition. So I did the recovery DVD? s using the Recovery Disc Creator tool, as we are not provided with a real disk. But I would like to know what will make these records? My questions:

  1. they really will return that disc hard back to the _exactly_ how he was including the partition layout and software pre-installed?
  2 will be the recovery DVD works even if the disk has been repartioned? I would like to divide the system partition to give space for the files of data etc. But this extra partition will stop the recovery procedure works correctly?

  Please understand that I'm not interested in reformatting the entire disk. I want to just split the partition from the OS. But in case I need to replace the disk in the future or something, I would like to know how to close to 'original', these disks will make me, no matter what I do on the disc?

  Thank you
  Dave

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure how recovery works on the Australian laptops computers Toshiba, but I presume that the restore CD contains the image of Toshiba with the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and utilities.
  I think that if you want to use the recovery CD then the whole HARD drive will be formatted and all partitions will be erased.

  I think that the recovery partition is not created using the recovery CD because the CD of restoration has already been created for the recovery partition is no longer necessary

• A few questions after changing from Vista to Win XP on Satellite A135-S4427

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 days. It comes with Vista, but some applications are not ready yet for this OS. So, I decided to remove it, then I did a new install of Win XP SP2.

  Here come the problems...
  (1) I could not find the driver for the system management Bus controller. There is an explicitly named SMBus available on the support site, but it was not accepted by the system.

  (2) after 2-3 hours of operation, when I use the mouse or the touchpad to open a file, folder, click a button, the system to freeze for a minute, then it works very well for a few minutes, then freezes, etc. Restarting the computer does not solve the problem.

  I can't explain this bad behavior :( I have not checked the security no virus was detected.

  Please, any idea to make my laptop works properly?

  Hello

  Satellite A135-S4427 seems to be a mobile US and therefore, you should check the site Web of Toshiba us for all the XP drivers.

  1.) system Management Bus Controller-> to my knowledge, you need to install the Intel chipset utility to fix this problem.

  (2.) for the most part these strange disruptions appears because of the CPU busy.
  You should check the processes running in the background of the operating system and try to defragment the HARD drive.

• Question about warranty 2 years extension updated by Satellite A200-1Mes

  Hello

  I was registered on the www.toshiba-europe.com/registration Web site. In the Extension of warranty for free, book was written when I register my extended warranty from 1 year to 2 years limited international warranty. When I look at the site http://www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails my warranty work is always 365 days and guarantee spare parts is 365 days. Why?

  This is right. When you sign the notebook on the driver Toshiba page then the warranty will extend to 2 years.
  You may need to simply wait a day until that data has been updated.

  If the guarantee will always show the same State trying to update once again!

• Satellite A200 - 1 GB: Questions on downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 GB and I want to downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  + I install XP using nlite. +

  1. I have 2 partitions and I would like to know if my other partition (not the one with the operating system) will be also well formatted?

  2. I have Vista Bios. Should I change it to XP? And if so when do I need to do.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  The original CD of Microsoft Windows XP provides an option to modify, create or delete partitions on the HARD disk.
  If during the XP installation procedure, you should be able to install XP on a single partition. Other partitions will not be formatted!

  With regard to the BIOS:
  You could update the BIOS after installing XP.
  The laptop must run also without the update of the BIOS.

  But from my knowledge the FN keys would work using the operating system XP and Vista BIOS. So if you need to use all the features of the laptop, the BIOS update would be desirable.

  See you soon

• Re: Satellite A200: Question about the Windows Vista serial key

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 and I doubt, in everest, I can see the key of Windows Vista, but it's different to the Windows key in the tile to the bottom of the laptop.
  I change anything in the laptop because I bought, I have use once the recovery cd, but I have not a pirate key or something like that.

  Why this different key?

  Post edited by: Admin

  I agree with the user above.
  The serial key you will find at the bottom of the device is not similar to the serial key that can be read using a few 3rd party applications!

  But you don t need such series on your Toshiba laptop key.
  The restore CD contains an image of Toshiba which is already activated!

• Changing from Vista 64 SP1 to XP Pro 32

  Should what drivers I download to complete the change of Vista SP1 64-bit for XP Pro 32. I have a Pavillion S3707 4 GB Ram, HDD 500, Windows Vista 64-bit. The reason for the switch is my old XP shot craps and I just bought this new computer. I'm not all that I need and programs used to use for installation, even if Microsoft says they are Vista compatible 64-bit. I tried all the registry fixes without any positive result. Any help with drivers and other information on how to get my installed programs would be greatly appreciated. .

  Thanks, Jim

• Question about warranty after exchanges of RAM on Satellite module series

  Hello together,

  I have a question about the warranty. My laptop is 5 months old and now I want to improve it with more RAM. I want to do it myself, and now I'm wondering if the warranty will be getting hurt.
  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Concerning

  TiG3r

  For new models of laptops the RAM upgrade described in s operating manuals. It is public act and it shows the owner of the notebook how do RAM upgrade only.

  If Toshiba offers something like this he won't have the negative influence of valid warranty.
  Buy a compatible module and RAM upgrade.

  Bye and good luck!

• Downgrade from Windows Vista to XP on Satellite A200-22I

  Hello

  Maybe this topic has arised more than once, but someone can help me?
  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 [22I with windows Vista, but I want to downgrade to XP.]

  How can I do?

  Thank you very much

  It's easy,

  You'll need a genuine Windows XP CD, drivers and little time.

  Next, you need to 'wake' drivers Windows XP AHCI the CD because otherwise the HARD drive would not be recognized during the installation of windows XP. Here´s a link to a very good education how to integrate these specific drivers for a Windows XP CD: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

  I know it sounds complicated, but trust me, you´re doing so once and you know after all. ;)

  I would also like to download the XP drivers for your machine at the following site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Your model is a PSAE6E which means you need to find the drivers for a Satellite A200 (PSAE6) and download. Burn it to a CD to have available every time when you need it...

  When you install the drivers please take care of the installation order how do I install the drivers; I can't tell you the entire order, but the most important drivers must be installed in the following order:

  -BIOS for XP (V5.60)<- i="" would="" do="" this="" before="" installing="">

  Then after the installation of Windows XP:
  -chipset
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -sound
  -lan driver
  -wlan driver

  and then the other stuff that is for this model

  That's all, if you have questions, just ask.

• Reformat Vista to XP on Satellite A200-ST2043

  My brother just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200-ST2043. It came with Vista on it, and I had just planned to reformat with Windows XP Pro. I tried for a few days now and have not been able to make it work. I think it's mainly because of these Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers, that I'm not able to install correctly, or not able to get the right drivers for Windows XP.
  
  
  
  That's what I've lived so far:
  
  
  
  I downloaded the 32-bit Intel Matrix Storage Manager to the site Disk Configuration utility http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=210 1 & OSFullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go % 21
  
  found in this thread
  
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25749
  
  I ran that he asks for a floppy disk, so I glued one to and she made the files on this disk, when it did work the first time I tried several times with different players to make sure that wasn't the problem.
  
  I used the floppy when it asks me to press F6 to install third-party drivers as I have many times before. (I used SATA drives many times in the past on a few laptops and desktop computers that apparently does not use Intel Matrix Manager Sotrage.) "So I don't know how to proceed with the installation of Windows).
  
  Thus, when the installer asks me to press on the of ' to specify a driver I do and select the one that suits. Then I see then the 2 partitions on the HARD disk. 1.5 GB and 73 ~ GB. I assumed that the 1.5 gigabytes is for purposes of recovery. So I deleted the partition of 70 GB and most later discovered this isn't what I need to do in this case. So, which way lead to a dead end.
  
  
  
  So since I wiped the HARD drive I used the recovery cd that came with his computer to retrieve and install Vista all return to the out-of-the-box and all factory settings.
  
  
  
  Then I downloaded the "RAID/AHCI Software - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager (5604KB)" of the link earlier.
  
  I read this thread that mentions two different utilities for different chipsets. http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040 I discovered that I had 965 m, so I got the version 7.6.0.1011 as he say to get.
  
  I installed through vista and then took the drivers out of the folder as it installed because this thread mentioned someone do that.

  dbunt says:
  
  'Hi,
  
  
  
  As I was this:
  
  
  
  1. in the preloaded vista OS, I went in the TOSAPINS folder, then in the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager-V7.0.0.1020\Inf setup' folder, copied the entire contents of the folder to the root of a floppy
  
  2. attach a floppy drive usb on my m9 with the above mentioned disc and start the laptop on a xp cd while pressing f6 when you are prompted to load the scsi/raid additionl drivers
  
  3. after the initial Setup, the usual message «you have chosen to configure a SCSI card...» "appeared, so I pressed"s"to specify an additional device
  
  4. the only device that is displayed is the right one for the m9 sata controller - there should be the following: Intel(r) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E/M)
  
  5. Once selected, the xp installation continued and couldn't find the hard drive no problem at all.
  
  
  
  Hope this helps,
  
  
  
  Dave ".
  
  
  
  I could not find a file TOSAPINS, but I found the Intel drivers in my program files. Those I've used and still does not work.
  
  
  
  So I restart the installation process and make F6, then S, select the driver blah blah blah, then simply select the partition of 70 concert without wiping, a Vista is currently after recovery. I tried to install XP on Vista installation, in the C:\WINDOWS without deleting Vista because I thought that Vista was here Intel Matrix thing would still be there. That did not work and ended up having me to redo recovery.

  After recovering, I restarts the installation process and make F6, then S, select the driver blah blah blah, then simply select the partition of 70 concert without wiping, a Vista is currently on after the restoration. I tried to install XP in a C:\WXP folder without deleting Vista because I thought that because Vista was doing there thing Intel Matrix would be still there. That did not work...
  
  
  
  So in this thread, once again:
  
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040
  
  I saw that in the end, he mentions nlite, I had no idea of what it was. I discovered and tried to install the drivers in nlite and burned the iso and that no longer works.
  
  
  
  So in conclusion I did nothing to work right and found this thread where adam0007 talks about his work at last:
  
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=91564𖖬
  
  I couldn't understand how the people on these message forums so I did not contact him.
  
  If that didn't make any sense please ask me reitterate parties you've been confused on. My browser froze a couple of times and I lost the messages I was written and had to restart, then I found myself typing this in wordpad.

  Hi guys

  Use the software called nLite. It is a freeware program.
  With this tool, you can create your own Windows XP CD and could include all service packs, drivers, and Storage Manager Intel, etc. for this new CD of XP!

  Can boot from this CD and enjoy!

  PS: anyone recommend first to search this forum for similar discussions because this topic has been discussed a lot of time here.

• Driver Intel is originally Vista back slowly on Satellite A200 - 1 M 5

  Hello
  I bought a new laptop Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 with Windows Vista, this is the first time that I use this operating system, and while I was exploring "Advanced Tools" on the performance Information; I got this waring 'Intel graphics driver in Kernel Mode causes Windows to relax slowly', if you may well want to ask whether someone met with such a message of warning and I would be very grateful if someone feeds back to this topic.

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  I found a post in another forum and they say it s not that big a deal as it seems. Just do the following:

  go to "http://downloadcenter.intel.com/" and download the latest driver for your graphics card (download the drivers for 945GM) and then the error message shouldn´t appears more.

  Another suggestion is to upgrade your BIOS to the latest version available. You can get the BIOS from here:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Any comments would be appreciated... :)
