Re: Need of Satellite L500-13W - installing Windows XP - details

I have a laptop Toshiba L500 13W originally shipped with windows Vista.
I have already installed Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit, but I don't like Vista or 7, becausa of this new interface of the taskbar.
So I thought to install windows xp on it.

Toshiba offers drivers, but I had problems to install xp on a Vista desktop computer designed.
I had to make a special CD with SATA drivers, which toshiba does not provide for this laptop.

So I wanted to know if somone to people that you have already installed xp on this laptop model.
If you had problems, what drivers did you use, and if the original disc to factory worked.

Thank you for reading,

Please reply!

Hi mate

First of all, you can install Windows XP on this laptop without the installation of the SATA drivers too.
In the BIOS, you will need to set the compatible SATA controller mode (instead of AHCI).
This will simulate an IDE HDD controller and it does not all SATA drivers.

Of course, it s advisable to install SATA drivers due to the performance of the HARD drive but Win XP runs in compatible mode too.

The laptop L500-13W belongs to the series of PSLJ3E.
You should choose this series to download driver.

You can download the drivers from the European driver Toshiba page.

Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers

  • Satellite L500-13W - what order to install drivers on Windows 7 32 bit?

    Hello

    I have Satellite L500-13W and install Windows 7 32 bit. I have download all the drivers.

    What order of installation for my model?

    Hi jason_x,

    I agree with Akuma. Two weeks ago I also installed Windows 7 on a disk of Microsoft and after installing Windows 7, I started with installing the chipset driver. Then I installed the Intel Storage Manager, then display driver. After that, I installed the rest of the necessary drivers.

    I didn't use a special installation order. After installation, all devices have been properly recognized in device without yellow exclamation points Manager.

    Oh I forgot to say, I use Windows Vista 32 bit

    Hello

    > I already looked in this forum and other sites, but none of the solutions have solved my problem.
    Does that mean exactly? What have you already tried exactly?
    You should post this very important information what you exactly did.

    Furthermore, I can't find any more information about your operating system. You are using Vista 32-bit, but is this preinstalled Toshiba or have you installed yourself?

  • Satellite L500-13W - creation of possible recovery on another OS disc?

    I got a Satellite L500-13w and it came pre-installed with Windows Vista and the recovery of files, but I formatted the PC and installed Windows 7 and then installed XP.

    Now I want to use the system recovery to return to Vista, but I didn t create a Vista recovery CD using the files that came on the separate partition. If I had again the file instead, they came.
    So my question is, under Windows XP, is it possible to use these files to create the CD or the recovery file?

    Please answer

    Hi Nagravison-PT,

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. The Toshiba Recovery disk can be created on a preinstalled OS, because only there, the recovery disk creator is installed.

    On the second partition recovery files are now unnecessary, because you can use HARD drive recovery option more and creator of recovery disc is removed.

    What to do now?
    You use a Microsoft disc or you order a Toshiba Recovery disk:

  • I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

    I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    Kind regards

  • Do I need a special DVD to install windows on my Satellite A200?

    Hello

    I want to do a new install of windows 7 and erase the old partition Vista in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 13 M.
    Do I need a special DVD Toshiba (with some drivers to this topic perhaps...) or I can do it with a regular DVD of windows 7. The master boot record will automatically create when I install windows 7?
    Sorry for the newbie question, but I want to be 100% sure I'm not doing something wrong before deleting the partition my computer vista.

    Thanks for your help!

    Your laptop comes with Vista and with your laptop you have Vista recovery DVDs or a recovery mabe saved on the HARD disk image. I put t know exactly.

    To install Windows 7, you have original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc. You can not order original Toshiba Windows 7 for this old model of laptop recovery disk.

    Install Windows 7 using Microsoft disk. Install all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities one by one afterwards.

  • This external modem will work with Satellite L500-1XL, running Windows 7

    Hello

    When in Spain, I need to use the dialing up to the internet through Telefónica.
    I guess that the L500-1XL is not an internal modem?

    This external modem will work with the L500-1XL running Windows 7?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Hello

    You re right Satellite L500 doesn t have an internal modem, so you need an external.

    I think you can buy every modem that is compatible with Vista. Alternative ask your favorite computer dealer or authorized service provider

    A friend got good experience with USRobotics 56K modem like this:

  • Satellite L500 - cannot install the Intel video driver

    Ok
    complete failure of the hard drive, no recovery cd was created, reloaded windows 7, looked up and downloaded the drivers from Toshiba, BUT there are only two video drivers listed, amd and Intel, both marked "for model only supported" its an Intel machine so I tried the Intel driver but it doesn't install, it just closes which I believe if the corresponding material is not found is the default action for these drivers.

    But I'm stuck with 'standard VGA graphics adapt' all other drivers loaded perfectly, (I installed the driver from chipset Intel first and rebooted, so it should be ok but it s not)

    Any ideas?

  • Satellite L500 - compatibility with Windows 7 with Nero

    I recently bought a Satellite L500.
    I wanted Nero on this if it was part of the appeal of the Toshiba.

    Now, I find that the version of Nero installed on the laptop
    is not compatible with Windows 7.
    I am sure that Toshiba should be disappointed with this parasite, and it was not their intention.

    I would be grateful if someone could suggest a solution to this problem outside of having bought an upgrade because it adds significantly to the final cost of the device.

    Hello

    What version of Nero are you trying to install?

    I guess that some versions are not compatible, so you should consult the homepage of Nero to the latest version. All current versions are compatible with your laptop.
    http://www.Nero.com

    By the way: for 3 months now I m using CD Burner XP. He the freeware tool and smaller than Nero. I love it, it s my favorite. :)

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba L500-13w (PSLJ3E-00X01G03) of the problems with the keyboard. The keyboard does not work. Already tested under windows, or to access the bios.
    I bought a new keyboard and changed. It does not work. Any way to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    You spill some kind of liquid on the keyboard maybe?

    The keyboard is connected to the motherboard with a flat cable
    If the keyboard on the motherboard controller was not damaged, then new keyboard should work

  • Satellite L500-1XL - strange Windows 7 error - hardware failure or virus?

    Hi people,

    I am running windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL.

    About 6 weeks, Windows refuses to load.
    I would get the "Toshiba" screen, then on startup of Windows startup, but then nothing else than a black screen with an icon of the mouse (mobile).

    I could not in safe mode, and Toshiba built in recovery utility would not work.
    "Even using the Toshiba ' product recovery" DVD did nothing, even if the drive was some strange, repetitive clicks for this, so I suspected a faulty hard drive. (Possibly where the MBR has been OK, but the data weren't?)

    In any case, I put in a replacement HARD drive (backups are a wonderful thing BTW!) and DVD recovery charge perfectly and everything seemed fine.

    About 2 weeks later, I had the same problem
    ("Toshiba" Windows startup splash screen, but then nothing but a black screen with a mouse (mobile), no safe mode icon; no recovery utility)

    This time, however the product recovery DVDs worked fine first time.

    Another 2 weeks and the same problem will reoccur; This time, it took another HARD disk for the recovery media to work.

    So my question is, really, what could be causing this anomaly?

    Would it be a virus which is corrupt something that is preventing Windows from loading? And the 'prevention' so that I can not load even the recovery utilities?

    In this case might it also prevent the loading product recovery DVD?

    Or am I looking at an intermittent fault with the connector on the HARD drive that can be either physically damage the drive or at least prevent it from loading?

    I read about the so-called "Windows Black Screen of Death", but I'm sure this isn't that.

    All the advice accepted with gratitude...

    > So my question is really what could be causing this anomaly?
    I doubt it s a virus or something like that, but nothing is impossible.

    In my experience, the data on the HARD drive can be affected by different software.
    In my case, the data on the HARD drive was corrupted, because the 3rd party software changed some files and the master boot record is damaged.
    I formatted the HARD drive and created new partitions.

    I also use the CCleaner and I defragment the HARD disk several times in the week.
    Since the HARD drive and the data are ok and didn t notice such symptoms more.

    Maybe you should try this too

  • Can satellite L300D - I install Windows XP?

    Can someone help me or tell me the best thing to do?

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite L300D two years ago and it broke last year because I hit it a little because of the internet. So I sent offshore to a friend of my uncle, who has replaced the drive with a 35 GB hard inside you. But now, whenever I turn on my laptop I get the blue screen and it cannot cross, he says that windows can be corrupted and is not loading and it says to use the original installation CD, but I don't have one, but I have a Windows XP one and I would make Windows XP instead of Vista.

    Is there anything I can do to get it working again? Please help me quickly

    Thank you
    Fabian

    Hey,.

    > use the original installation CD, but I have not a
    Yes, because you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled creator of media recovery Toshiba as mentioned in the user manual.
    Have you read the user manual?

    You can order a recovery disc that will restore the original settings of the case:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Of course, you can install Windows XP s no problem. Just make sure you can get all the drivers on the official page of download driver Toshiba. If so, boot from the XP disc and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.
