Re: Satellite Pro L500-196: what drivers for Windows XP

Hi all!

I just bought a satellite Pro L500-196 that comes with installed Windows7.

However for the use of the older software I need for my work, I want to install Windows XP from my old laptop.
I want to configure a dual-boot environment, so I use Win7 for most of the time, but be able to boot XP, whenever I need to.

The support page for this model lists 96 drivers for Windows XP for this model.
Which of these drivers do I need?
And there at - it instructions in the order in which to install them? Or can I download/order a cd (or cd-image) with all the drivers for Windows XP

As far as I know, after you install Windows XP on a second partition, I need a DVD of Windows7 installation to fix the boot manager.
Otherwise WinXP sill only start.
My laptop came without such a DVD, there is just a recovery partition.
Is it possible to use recovery system to make Win7 start again or do I really need a DVD of Win7?

Thanks in advance,
Jürgen from Germany

> The support page for this model lists 96 drivers for Windows XP for this model.
> Which of these drivers do I need?
There is no required special installation order
But I would start with common as drivers:
Display driver, driver LAN, Wlan driver, Modem driver, card reader controller, driver for the touchpad, etc..

The driver control must be installed before the controls (utility).
Try it simply.

> As far as I know, after you install Windows XP on a second partition, I need a DVD of Windows7 installation to fix the boot manager.
This is right. I had the same problem with Vista and the boot Vista DVD to repair the Vista Boot Manager

> Is it possible to use recovery system to make Win7 start again or do I really need a DVD of Win7?
Not because it s not the same thing.
The recovery image will format the HARD drive and partitions and will delete the installed Win XP.

    A Toshiba Satellite C660D-13 q (PSC1YE).

    In the BIOS I changed the controller SATA from AHCI to Compatibility Mode to allow the installation of Windows XP. In AHCI mode during the installation, I am getting blue screen all the time.

    I can find drivers for Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) - why Toshiba does not support Windows XP - some applications and games still does not work on Windows 7, and I guess that never will.

    Is there a necessary chipset/APU driver for this laptop because it is based on the new processor of merger, which combine the CPU and the GPU to a single processor architecture called an APU (AMD E-240 of CPU and GPU AMD HD 6310)?

    > I can find drivers for Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) - why Toshiba does not support Windows XP
    Good question, but I m you know very well why.
    Offer Windows 7 Microsoft has set new standards for integrated hardware and, in general, your laptop is designed for Win7.

    Win XP is history and if you check other manufacturers of portable none of them offer full support driver for Windows XP Home edition. I highly recommend to forget WXP and use original Win7 preinstalled.
    Support for the old operating system is obviously not profitable and costs a lot of money so I put t think any laptop manufacturer will spend money for it.

  • Satellite Pro P300-1CH and drivers for Vista64

    Hello.

    Where can I find the drivers for my new P300-1CH for Vista x 64? I searched for them on this web page, but I've only had the 32-bit drivers. Is it possible that Toshiba does not supply these drivers even if they exist? I can, for example, download the chipset drivers from intel, but ATI told me the graphic drivers for the Mobility Radeon HD 3650 should be provided by the manufacturer, because they give them.

    I bought this laptop for the performance but, I have to use in a 32-bit operating system? I can't believe. Is this true?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    >. Is possible that Toshiba does not supply these drivers even if they exist
    Maybe the x 64 drivers Vista will be released in the near future.
    I remember that x 64 Vista drivers didn't exist in the past, but now they are published on the page of the Toshiba driver.

    Maybe we will have to wait a little

  • Satellite A660 - 17 M - need drivers for Windows 7 32 bit

    Dear all

    I just brought a new Toshiba Satellite A660 - 17 M in Egypt and I installed windows 7 32-bit on it to support my company work, but I could find the drivers for it on the website and many material options does not specially the extra package, please help me!
    is it possible that I can install it or fix it?

    Hey Buddy,

    The problem is that most of the new laptops don't support windows 7 64 bit because they come with 4 GB or more RAM capacity and 32-bit support only up to 3.2 GB.

    I think you should search the drivers yourself. Just check out some similar Toshiba models, they support Windows 7 32 bit. As much as I know Satellite L500 provides 32-bit drivers Windows 7 and tools where you can also get value-added package for example.

    If you find all the drivers of the comments would be great. :)

  • Satellite L500D - cannot install all drivers for Windows 7 64 bit

    Hey,.

    the problem is that I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit yesterday. Before I was using Vista Home Premium 32-Bit, so it must be a clean install. I downloaded all the drivers for my laptop model (Satellite L500D-10R) from the Toshiba site. The problem now is that not everyone can be installed because with several I get the error message, for example with Chip Set Utility I get the error «this system is not satisfying the minimum requirements...» "in addition, when you try to install the Eco utility I get an empy message and stops the installation. What can be the problem here?

    And what's with Wi - Fi. When I plug in the ethernet cable to the Internet works correctly, but when I try to connect to my router (the ofc ethernet cable disconnected) he cannot identify my computer and gives me an error of network interface controller and says the reason is 0 x 00028001.

    Here is the error message (sorry for the language):
    + Deleted information - non-English language.

    Hi mate,

    With regard to the Intel chipset error message I can suggest only install this manual dirver via Device Manager. I had the same problem and if I could install the chipset driver.
    Check this box!

    Regarding Eco Utility, you must install all the drivers first, then Tools. Value added should be the first tool of Toshiba you install.

    You installed a driver for your wireless network card?

    Perhaps you need to restore the factory settings if you are not an expert of installing the driver ;)
