Re: How to install Win XP on a Satellite A300 - 15 d

Someone can help me with the procedures to be followed to permanently remove Vista Home Premium and replace it with Windows XP Professional?
Once Windows XP Pro installed, drivers for my computer laptop Satellite A300 - 15 d will always work because of the new operating system?

Hello

If you want to replace Vista with your Windows XP operating system then just boot from the Windows XP CD and follow the on-screen installation instructions.

After installation of XP operating system, you will have to visit the page of the European driver Toshiba and will need to download the XP compatible drivers!
(maybe you could do that before formatting the disk HARD and Vista)

Your laptop seems to belong to the * PSAJ4E * series.
Please choose this number before you begin to download the driver.

By the way; Support for laptop SATA controller so you will need to include the driver SATA during the XP installation process.
The Storage Manager available on the Toshiba driver page contains such SATA driver.

If you n t know how to include such SATA driver, please use the search option of the forum for research.
There are a lot of similar topics regarding the installation of the SATA driver.

Good bye

    I want to install second OS on my A300 but can't do any boot manager works with Vista.

    IBM os/2 bootmanager can start Vista, but Vista say he can't run winload and hang up, Acronis bootmanager does not see any OS to Vista's NTFS disk...

    Hello

    Vista supports a clean Vista Boot Manager and there you can add all the installed OS.
    I did after I installed my Win XP as second operating system.

    First, I installed Win XP on the second partition but I couldn't start on Vista because Win XP damaged MBR (master boot record). That's why I started again from disk (NOT the Toshiba Recovery disk) Vista and the Vista disc to repair the MBR.
    Then, I started in Vista and edited the BCD. You can use the freetool like EasyBCD because that would be the best way to add a second operating system for the Vista Boot Manager.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    First you need to download xp drivers: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Second, you must create the floppy or custom installation CD of Windows XP with integrated storage drivers. the custom installation CD, you can use Nlite http://www.nliteos.com/. There are guides in different languages, so you won't have a problem to create a. Don't forget it will have to include "Storage drivers", without them, Setup does not recognize the hard drive.

  • How to install Win 7 on a Satellite M30X-165 (S)

    The laptop has a Pentium clocked at 1.6 GHz and 1 GB of RAM which I would upgrade to 2 GB. I want to change the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I know that Toshiba do not support the software and drivers for Win 7:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=235849𹥉

    But when I remove the hard drive, install Windows Vista and later upgrade to Windows 7 If this could be a way to use Vista drivers and Toshiba Software, especially software for function keys. I think that the third-party software should come through Win 7 update.

    Some devices are:
    Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
    Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
    ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series graphics card
    ENE CB710 Cardbus Controller
    Realtek AC97 Audio
    TOSHIBA Software Modem (not important)

    Some software are:
    TOSHIBA ConfigFree
    Alps Pointing-device Driver
    ATI Desktop component
    TOSHIBA utilities

    Long ago, I had Satellite M70 that was machine WXP too. It was not supported for Win7 but I installed it to see how it will work. My problem was to find the display driver, but I found somewhere on the net and the machine was OK. I could use it but without specific Toshiba and utility tools.

    Unfortunately on this forum we do have enough information about these updates on old machines. I can only say: install it, test it and post comments.

  • How to install Win 7 on a Win 10 computer which doesn't have a CD player

    I bought a new laptop of Lenovo win 10, but I can't not treat Win 10 so I bought a copy of Win 7 and want to install it but I don't have a CD player.  How to install Win 7?  I tried to look at the oem site but nothing seems to match back to Win 7, they all assume I'm going to Win 10, that I certainly do not.

    Otherwise I'll have to return the laptop because I don't live with Win 10, it takes too long to learn all the new shit and I'm not all media social hype apps that came with it.

    A little guidance would be welcome, please.

    Thank you

    Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

    The first thing you need to do is to check if there is no Windows 7 driver for your model of Lenovo.

    I recommend also to dual boot, instead of decommissioning.

    In addition, downgrade rights are limited to systems that are preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro OEM. Other editions need to provide your own disc of Windows 7.

    There are ways you can download and create a bootable copy of the edition of Windows 7 you have.

    Option 1: Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

    then

    If your computer is UEFI, they are normally the systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or later, you need prepare the ISO for such a configuration file or you will receive an error during installation. The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

    Rufus - credit: Pete bastard/Akeo

    After installing Rufus:

    • Launch it
    • Select the ISO Image
    • Point to the file ISO for Windows 10
    • Check create a disk bootable using
    • Select GPT partitioning to EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme
    • Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as file system
    • Make sure that your USB in the device list
    • Click Start
    • Close when you are finished

    LAN installation is very easy.

    Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.

    The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.

    2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

    > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
    Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
    You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

    But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

    With regard to the sound:
    As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
    But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.

  • How to install Win XP on Equium P200

    Hi guys,.

    I found a very useful tutorial, how to install windows xp on laptop Equium P200.
    Problem is that when I did everything what in this tutorial (used nlite, made the install xp with sata drivers cd) Win Xp is show error.

    When you boot from the cd, and all the drivers are loaded, it will show me a blue screen saying that installation was arrested for not to damage my pc and its saying that the error is in the pci.sys file...

    The ides what it could be?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure why this error but I've had an idea.
    Maybe the installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager doesn t support the good chipset.

    I ve towing different versions of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and both versions support different chipsets.

    Always is it that there are different series Equium P200 which needs different drivers.
    I think you should visit the European driver Toshiba page and must choose the right notebook series! Compare the serial number located at the bottom of the device!

    Then try the installation again.
