• I want to install Win XP on Satellite A305-S6905

  Hello.

  I want to downgrade my Vista to XP because of problems and slow down my PC...
  For example I can't download updates antivirus, games etc...

  I read in the forum that I need some kind of sata drivers and those I can do myself, but someone can help me with other drivers because I use this laptop for an hour and I know not what drivers there need.

  If someone could give me links to the necessary software, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that you couldn't find the right drivers XP because you didn t find on the right-hand page.
  Like you probably n t know that this series of laptop (Satellite A305) belongs to Toshiba from US and you have to find good drivers on Toshiba U.S. page!

  In addition, if you want to install Win XP on laptop thin, you will need to install the SATA drivers first.
  The SATA drivers are on Intel Storage Manager part which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page as well.

  But if you don t want to install SATA drivers, there is another possibility to install the XP.
  Just access the BIOS and set the compatible SATA to AHCI mode.

  That s it.

  The instructions in the same article shows you how to restore the image if you need to do:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  One of the things that I recommend you do so after creating the system image is to change the name of the computer to something else, so if you decide to create another backup system image, it's not too write the original. You can use this even as a method for having multiple images of different systems.

• I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes.

  I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes. I would lose my Microsoft Office 2007 and files, 3rd party software. If so is there a way to save them? How can I backup my Outlook pst. file? Is that all I have to do it before I try it?

  You cannot go directly from the 32-bit to 64-bit.  The best thing to do would be to create a new partition and install the 64-bit version in that.  You will have access to the data on the partition of 32 bits, but will need to install your applications in the 64 bit one.

  Good luck.

• Portege R500 - compatibility with Intel SSD 320 160 GB

  I installed an Intel 320 160 GB SSD in my Portege R500 (PPR50E).
  However, the BIOS does not detect the new drive. I updated the BIOS to the 1.60WIN version, the most recent that I found, but the drive is still not detected.

  Is there a possible solution? Or I need to take the drive?
  Thanks for any help

  It must be a problem of compatibility so I don't think you can force Portege to recognize this SSD.
  I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about m.

• Portege R830 - model with SSD or HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I am considering buying a Portege R830. I've yet to decide between the Portégé R830-10R (model with HARD drive) and the Portégé R830 - 10 p (model with a 256 GB SSD). To do this, I would like to know:

  -What is the SSD model assembled in the Portégé R830?
  -It uses a standard SATA connection or an owner like the previous Portégé R700 SSD?
  -Have someone replaced the original HDD to the Portégé R830 by a whole new SATA 3 SSD? Wich one? It works fine?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi MadVet,

  The SSD of Portege R830 - 10 p is a model of Toshiba 2.5 so it does not work in Portege R830. In addition due to the 2.5 form factor it uses SATA standard interface as normal hard drives.

  In my opinion, you should take the model with SSD. 256 GB is enough for the operating system and applications as well as for some important data. If you need more disk external HARD disk space use. SSDS are very fast and you will see the performance of the SSD HARD drive instead ;)

• Portege R500 - 11K with the XP drivers for the UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS module

  Hello world

  I have some pre-sales questions on laptop nice R500 - 11 K.
  I want to install XP pro on this machine. The device is delivered withou XP Recovery CD. (model 11A C)
  There are beautiful collection for R500 XP drivers so I can install XP manually.

  NES http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=eu&mode=allMachi & action = search & teddProduct = 747

  Model K 11 has another installed UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS module unlike models. Great!

  What about drivers for this module?
  There is not any UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS modem drivers listed in the list of drivers for Vista or XP or device.

  So the question is, if I want to install XP, where can I find the driver for 3G module manually?
  Is the component of another driver driver?
  -Does anyone know the name and the type of this module 3G? In my view, the module is provided by aint Toshiba of the seller.

  Anyone have any experience with XP on R500 11 K?

  Thank you

  Hmm, you're right.
  The pilot of the 3G is not available on the Toshiba page

  Seems that the driver has been downloaded not however the Portégé R500 was delivered with a * Novatel MSM6275 card * ThreeG (Qualcomm should be manufacturing the chip) and if you want, you could try to download the driver of the 3rd site part.

• (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

  I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

  It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

  My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

  However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

  But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

  And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

  As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

  Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

  I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

  Someone at - it the same problem with me?

  Any suggestion is appreciated!

  I would buy an Alienware of 15 with a HARD drive and a SDS.

  Where will be the operating system installed?
  Is there a way to specify the drive where I want to install?

  Hello

  If you want to install Xp on your computer, you must change the Sata controller in the Bios, Compatible, otherwise, you will encounter a blue screen during the installation. It is because of AHCI drivers after installation, you can download and install Storage Manager and return to AHCi mode in the Bios. You can also integrate them Windows disk.

  I got sick of it. I don't have the possibility to reactivate windows under computer properties. And I didn't want to make the phone call to explain why I am reactiveting windows. So I drove back to a file image of seven and until there were now questions being a valid copy. At this time in my life that I have too many things to deal with, so I'm happy, I had an image file to fall back on.

  I wish MS would get their act so that what made their operating system. It is not valid, but it is also valid if you please upgrade to Windows 10.

• Satellite U400 - I want to install Win XP

  I wish to have Windows XP installed on the Toshiba Satellite U400 laptop.

  Is there a list of models Toshiba and the compatibility of the hardware list (pilot) available somewhere?

  I wonder if you read some discussion forum on this topic before you post your question here in the forum. ?:|

  For Satellite U400 drivers are available on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Why you n t check it out?

  Installing Win XP is not delicate read for a bit here and if you still don't know how to precede and validate message ;)
