Hello John

It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

    To install Windows 7 on the laptop of Win8, you must change some settings in the BIOS.
    First of all, you have to disable startup secure in the BIOS.
    Second pass of the UEFI BIOS for the CSM and save the changes.

  • How to install Windows XP on Satellite A300-146?

    Hi all

    I need to know how can I install Windows XP on to my Toshiba Satellite A300-146 since I have windows vista with Arabic and this very bad.
    I heard in the laptop we have a SATA hard drive and the problems of British Colombia, who has not read the material.

    Also, I want to know how I can change vista from Arabic to English interface?

    How can configure LAN?

    Just a question;
    Did you go through this forum and simple threads on this topic before you posted this new topic?

    There is a lot of discussion on the installation of Win XP on laptops with SATA controller!
    The procedure is always the same on most portable models!

    You have 2 options; fade you assign compatible in the BIOS SATA mode and would not need to install the SATA drivers or you let the SATA AHCI mode and would include the SATA drivers using an external floppy drive you would have built a new disk Win XP using nLite software.

    PS: SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager!

    Yes a free recovery of HP, but with an installation CD installation cleaned of all unnecessary software pre-installed.

    I tried with my Win 7 CD: it seems to install Win 7 but at the first reset, the machine stays on the black screen (Hit any key to boot from CD).

    I tried to install the AHCI drivers saying Win7 to load this driver from a USB, but the result is the same.

    I had a problem with a hp siilar 8200 commented: the operating system in this case was Windows XP, but the procedure was not easy...

    I solved the problem!

    It 'wasn' t a SATA problem, I know that 7 can be installed on almost all new computers without having to install the SATA AHCI drivers, but in this facility it seemed to not work.

    I used a disc of Windows 7 without SP1 and it worked everything; the OS disk downloaded from digital river to give driver problems.

    I don't think that you can install Windows 7 with Boot Camp on El Capitan:

    • A Microsoft Windows installation media or disc image (ISO) containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8 or later *.

    From: How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

    Windows 10 is simply too new for your Mac, and Windows 7 is too old. It is quite a difficult situation. If you really need Windows, you would need to get a copy of Windows 8, or put to level to an earlier version of Mac OS X with a version of Boot Camp that works in Windows 7.

    pls tell how to install Windows XP on my laptop and if I need some drivers do pls put links of whereIi can get them.

    PS Sorry for the bad English

    Hello

    I think the problem is that you tried to install Win XP without installation of the SATA driver.
    The A210 need driver SATA to recognize the HARD drive.

    You can also check the BIOS settings. There should be an option called SATA mode.
    This can be set between AHCI and compatible and this will allows you to install the Win XP without the first installation of SATA drivers.

    Also check the other threads here in the forum on the same topic!

    PS: It is advisable to use Win XP including SP3! You can include the SP3 using nLite software!
