Question about the installation of Win XP on Satellite Pro P200

Hello

I have a lot of problems with Vista. First it took me a week to install my printer WiFi. (sollution: install local lpt1 as the printer, change port properties en gives a location network (computer/printername).)
Last problem: vista give no right to copy my USB hd protable with xp files.

Finally, I lost all hope and want to go back to xp.

Is there anyone with experience in the installation of win xp on this laptop. And is it possible to tell me the steps that you have been taken to do so.
Are there concerns as none have some drivers, things that do not work or problems with sata hd.

Thank you

Luke

Hello

It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

    I have just ordered an upgrade to 2 GB RAM and want to do a new install of WINDOWS 7 on Vista.

    Should I go for the 32-bit version or 64 - not sure if I need one over the other based on the processor?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Windows 7 32 bit supports max 3.2 GB of RAM
    In case you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB of RAM, I recommend to choose Windows 7 64-bit to be able to use all 4 GB of RAM

    The processor is an Intel Pentium T2060 that supports 32-bit but physical address Extensions is based on 32 bits, which allows x 86 processors to access more than 4 GB of physical memory

  • A few questions after the downgrade of Win 7 on Satellite U940 - 11L

    Hello

    friend of mine bought the Toshiba Satellite U940 - 11L which had Windows 8 on it, due to some reasons that she wanted to have Windows 7 installed on it, which was pretty easy.

    Trouble came with the installation of the Symantec touchpad, after installing the drivers, it worked for about 10-15 minutes but then it stopped working.

    Tried to uninstall and install again but no luck, found a few discussions where it was suggested to remove all the devices, remove the battery and the power cord.

    Press the power button for 15 seconds and then power back on but still not lucky (I wasn't in the restoration of the default settings of the Bios I did not any change it outside disabling secure boot and replacing UEFI CSM that was needed to run win 7 on it).

    Tried about 4 different sources when it comes to the drivers but still does not work. I checked the Device Manager Dev but see no conflict, and it shows that the unit works fine but the problem persists. Please note that the drivers were specific to windows 7.

    Please if you have any suggestions we would greatly appriciate it.

    On another note, I'm not able to install the bluetooth it (HW ID shows as ACPI\TOS6205), I tried to install it several times but no luck because it always shows as unknown device in the dev Manager. The driver that I use is Bluetooth Filter Driver Package as info.

    Also, the computer is slower than it was with Windows 8, I suspect the reason for this is the fact that the installation of win 7 I accidentally erased part of the hybrid drive SSD (the size was 11.2 GB if I remember correctly, yes silly me...). I wasn't looking for a while on the net to see if there is a way to fix it but no luck so far.

    Thank you very much for your time and your suggestions!

    Tony

    With regard to the question of the touchpad.
    To my knowledge, the touchpad should work even if the Synaptics touchpad driver has not been installed. Windows system contains own driver that control the touchpad and provide standard settings. Of course after installing the Synapatics driver, you should get a few more options and features more touchpad.

    I recommend you to download the driver for the touchpad from Synaptics driver page and install it again: http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers

    With regard to the problem of BT.
    The laptop supports WLan Intel (Intel Wireless-N 2230) card that supports BT connectivity. Bt driver filter pack is ONLY necessary if you laptop would use an Atheros WLan card or Realtek WLan card. For the Intel WLan modules such package of filter is NOT necessary. To get BT to work, you must install the battery Toshiba BT!

  • Installation of Windows XP on Satellite Pro P200

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem installing Windows XP Home SP2 (listen Slip) edition in my new Satellite Pro P200 with 2-120 GB hard drives. The vehicle currently has windows vista professional. I followed this link to a similar question on this site: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go % 21 and created disk Intel Matrix Storage manager so that I could use "F6" to install the RAID drivers during the installation of XP.

    I got to the point where I was able to recognize the hard drive and I was able to select the partition where I wanted to install WXP. Once the NTFS partition has been selected and formatted, Windows XP Home edition Setup prompted me to insert "Intel Matrix Storage" diskette into the A: drive. I have this drive in my floppy USB drive.

    However he didn't even read the disc. Hard drive never turned on when I pressed the enter"" key. It seemed as if the installer froze, however I was able to push "F3" to exit the installation program. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Is the USB problem?

  • Question about the Installation of Windows XP on Portege 3500 home

    I have a second hand Portege 3500 with WXP tablet 2005 Server Pack 2 market version, but without the original disks. However, recently had a virus that did something to Prime the area on the hard disk. I have removed the virus but now get unexpected core dumps memory and system restarts when you try to connect to the internet.

    Question: can I go down a level and safely install ordinary WXP software to work around the problem or the acquisition of new version of WXP Tablet and reinstall the software to circumvent the problem of core dump?

    Installation of an operating system on this laptop, it's the hardest thing I have ever tried to do. Once start you, you will notice that there is no device boot attached to this pc. To install windows, yourself, the only options are to buy the cdrom drive for this laptop toshiba external or install via a network.

    The toshiba cdrom drive is now quite obsolete, more expensive and the external device only that the laptop starts from (I tried with the other external cdroms, DVDs, disks usb keys and hard). It seems extremely difficult to boot from lan unless you already manage it infrastructure of the company. It is possible in theory, but after 3 weeks I still hadn't thought about her.

    My solution at the end of the day was to send it to my local toshiba support center and ask them to re - install for me (he happened to have one in stock toshiba cdrom burners). I got the installation cd, so I guess you will need get these images from toshiba as well (or buy another os).

    Good luck!

  • Question about the installation of Windows repair

    Hello

    I have searched through the forum, but I'm still a bit confused about the use of the recovery expert mode on my Toshiba Recovery CD.
    I can't boot into Windows at all. I didn't save my data (stupid!).
    I currently have a single partition.

    It is possible to create a second partition use the recovery expert mode and re - load Windows to that. Would this format only partition, allowing me to recover files after the first partition?
    Or is this format the entire disk, Windows loading and then create partitions?

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Fitz.

    Hello Fitz

    Expert mode allows you to do two things:
    1 install OS already persistent partition (if the HARD disk already has two of them)
    2. create own partition (in this case all of the content is deleted)

    Please try to start in safe mode (press F60). If this doesn't help, you can track to save your data:
    1. connect the HARD drive to the other PC as external device (using the box USB HDD)
    the disk HARD should be recognized automatically and you can copy your data to another disk HARD of PC
    2. you can try to use Partition Magic tool. Start by using the external floppy drive and create two partitions. After doing this start your laptop with discus throw and try to copy all the data on the second partition.

  • Questions about the installation of ColdFusion 9.0.2 version of existing in version 9.0.1

    Hello

    I'm currently running ColdFusion 9.0.1 enterprise edition and plan to upgrade to version 9.0.2 version. I understand that this requires uninstalling existing 9.0.1 and perform a new installation of version 9.0.2 version. My concerns are below:

    1. for the installation of the 9.0.2 version the 9.0.2 installer (demo / trial version) must be downloaded and the existing serial number (used in version 9.0.1) can be given during installation to convert it in fully registered mode - please correct me if my interpretation is incorrect here. My question is will the existing serial key (as shown in the page Admin of CF 9.0.1 version version) work with the 9.0.2 version as well?

    2. There are many features that are present in the current 9.0.1 version - for example the sources of data configured in the Admin see Y page there a way I can save these configurations of the existing version and to migrate settings to the new 9.0.2 install, or what I have to do the entire configuration manually after the installation of new? Data sources is something I can think; What other configurations can I save, if such a provision is available?

    3. in the installation of the 9.0.2 version there is a question about "configure the Web server for CF Connector" allows me to add Web/sites Internet servers during installation. If I select "built-in Web server" as the option (so do not configure any Web-site Web server), can I change this and configure Server/site later, after compeleting installation?

    What would be the things I need to be careful during this installation to version 9.0.2 from 9.0.1?

    Thank you!

    Arun-

    I did a successful version 9.0.2; installation answering my own questions, for the benefit of future development-

    1. Yes. Only the serial number is required (as shown in the Page of the CF Admin of existing facility)

    2 configurations (for example: data sources) can be exported. Go to CF Admin Page, click on packaging & deployment, click on Archives of CF. Basically, you export settings as files with the extension archive. car. Once exported from the current installation, it can be imported by clicking on the button deploying car file.

    3 server configuration can be modified (Add/Remove) by using the "Web Server Configuration Tool" which is installed by default with CF 9. You can find it under program files (windows OS).

    I had some problems during the installation. After installation, the CF Admin page would not be made. Virtually no cfm page don't take charge, because the extension is not known by the IIS (or the server you are using). To set this up, use the "Web Server Config Tool" mentioned above. This launch and activate the check box that is on the rendering cfm pages (forgot the exact name). Once this is done, cfm pages must load. I had to enable this and then do a reinstall but.

  • Question about the installation of the OS

    I have some problems with the shortcut keys and I want to reformat my system.
    Problem is that I have not created recovery cd before, is this going to work if I do it now.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please don t worry about the recovery procedure. It's very simple to do. Put the recovery CD in the CD/DVD drive, start Notepad and press C button and hold it for a few seconds. This will force your unit to boot from the CD/DVD drive.

    Follow the instructions on the screen. Standard mode will erase the whole HARD drive and create a partition. If you have only one partition I recommend to set up two of them. One will be used for the OS and application installations. The other can be used for the backup of data.

    If you need more instructions, please write again.

  • Question about the installation of Vista on Tecra A8

    Hi all

    I bought today TOSHIBA Tecra A8.
    My question is when in the future, I'll have to reinstall vista how can I do?
    Installation is automatic when I start my PC.
    Is there a folder or an option to save the installation procedure on a cd or a dvd?

    You can do this very easily. Branded WXP running the BIOS update first. After doing this use the Vista CD/DVD facilities and install Vista operating system. The last step is to install all the stuff from Toshiba (drivers, tools and utilities). All these things you can find on the download page of Toshiba.

    Hello

    essentially it s possible to install an of a real CD of XP/Vista OS, I think that this is the reason why Toshiba provides drivers on their driver download site.

    How do you mean that the screen remains black? More precisely, the description would be better...
    Another question: what SATA controller did you slipstreamed on the XP CD? I hope that you´re to the topic the A100 has an older controller (should be an ICH7M).

  • Question about the installation of the software on Satellite P200

    I recently (09/09/2007) purchased a Satellite P200 - 14 H a dealer of Romania, and Windows Vista crashed. I was forced to reinstall operating system without losing all the information on the HARD disk drive (partitions 2 - c:, d: windows installation some information that I can't lose.). With the DVD, you provided that I have to remove the whole HARD drive that isn't an option, so I searched the Internet and downloaded an image of windows vista installation, so I can install windows without delete the d: partition.

    I started to search for the drivers and I found them, but when I tried to install some of them the following error occurs: "invalid serial number" when I try to install the following applications: Flash Media Driver, hardware configuration and package of added value.

    What can I do to be able to use the function keys, for example? I phoned computers shop, the regional representative of the Toshiba in Romania and I received the reply that their only job is related to hardware not software.

    I followed everything the ' how the Installation Instructions but it does not work. I can't use my computer function keys and there is no way to lose the information on the entire HARD disk driver, but only on the C partition.

    Thank you very much and I hope that you will give me a solution soon.

    Hello Adrian

    Unfortunately, you're right about the procedure of recovery. But if I understand you right you can start and use Vista now. If so why not save all your data to an external device or data DVD creation? When all your data is saved, you can install OS using sent to new media for recovery, and then copy the data on the D partition.

    I can understand the response of the people with which you speak. If there is no material damage and you have the recovery DVDs, they are unable to do much for you. The laptop is not defective. Vista crashed is your responsibility. You have the recovery DVDs and you can install OS 1000 times if you wish. Sorry, but the arguments are not on your side.

    We can discuss why you cannot install OS on the existing partition, but it won't help you. If you can start Vista backup all your data and do a clean install of the operating system.

    It is a very long thread! PUH. You would be very lucky if someone post ;) description step by step

    First and foremost the M70-249 Sat belongs to the series of PSM71. Choose the drivers for this series!

    So now your list of pilot;
    Generally, must be set up from the page if you want to use the features of all laptop!

    Now to the list;

    > I think that those who come with Service pack 2 (SP2)? Right?
    Yes, he of right. You need to install SP2

    > Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.3646 7

    It is not relevant. You can use the old or new version.

    11 > Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)
    > SR1 stands for service pack 1? or what? do I have to download this or will modernize provided with window?
    Microsoft .NET Framework can be downloaded from the site of MS. Don t know which version is the most recent, but you can check it out yourself.

    > Atheros 17 802.11ag / g Client Utility V4.1.1.228.i141
    > This? Where I cand find it?
    It is a WLan tool that allows you to configure the WiFi connection. It can be used only if your laptop has the Atheros Wlan card. (you can check this in the device manager what wireless network adapter has been installed)
    But this tool is not necessary. You can use the Win XP option to configure the WiFi network.

    > Atheros 18 802.11ag / g Wireless lan V4.1.2.71
    > There are in Toshiba driver Atheros wireless lan 5.3.0.67, it's ok?
    As more high depends on the integrated Wlan (Intel or Atheros) map

    So, basically anything that you can find on the page of the Toshiba driver must be installed.
    Other programs like WinDVD, WinDVD Creator2, Record Now, etc is additional software that was included in the image of Toshiba, but it cannot be downloaded from the page!
