• Remove Vista and install XP SP2 on Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop

  I bought a laptop Inspiron-1545 Dell in 2009.

  It has Vista and Office 2007.

  I recently got admitted to a course where they r with Windows XP and Office 2003 in their program.

  So I need to downgrade my OS from Vista to XP.

  Thanks for giving me tips for this in details.

  (My Dell warranty period is over).

  Hi somali.cc,

  / 3GB is fine. Once you have installed Microsoft Virtual PC and start creating a virtual machine only allocate 1 GB of memory for the virtual machine. This will give you then 1 GB for XP and the other 2 GB for your Vista system.

  Here is the download link for Virtual PC 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en

• removed vista and installed xp now missing files... Help

  HP Pavilion DV6609mw with Vista home premium pre-installed disliked vista so deleted and tried several times to install xp family as soon as I installed it there are several missing files his not recognizing not modem cd/dvd drive, ethernet etc. unable to connect to internet etc. so I tried to reinstall Vista with iso disc using key code on the bottom of the laptop sticker but get error saying that the file D:\Sources\ Install.wim is missing error 0 x 80070002 (I think). Any help on how to fix this?

  If you used the recovery disks do on your PC you shouldn't have the key at the bottom of the laptop code. All I can suggest is to order a new set of recovery disks.

• Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

  I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

  I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
  I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
  I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

  Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

  Hello!

  I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

  Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

  According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

  Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
  In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

  I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
  Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)

  Good bye

• How to remove Satellite PSU44E U400 Vista and install Win XP

  Because a large part of my specialized software is designed to work with XP pro, I need to remove my U400 of Vista Home Premium and install XP Pro. As others have found with other models Toshiba simply placing XP disc in the DVD drive results in "dreaded blue screen" with error 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, etc) and correctly configured hard drive reviews / looking for the virus/run Chdsk/F to check corruption.

  Change drive HARD BIOS from AHCI to compatibility mode allows to XP disk load and run as "Press ENTER to load XP" but pressing 'Enter' does nothing; other keys have no effect either and the only way I found is to press on the On / Off button. Re change from "AHCI" to "Compatibility" there are also a lot of comments on other users for suggesting that using compatibility mode makes it much slower than the AHCI mode disk access. However, despite searching the Web using Tosh HDD not registered model (MK3252GSX) I can't find a driver XP ATA to nLite XP before trying again.

  Can someone tell me a procedure they used to remove Vista and replace it with XP Pro on you U400 PSU44E please?

  Hello

  I have a U400 and I ve installed Win XP on my baby with no problems.

  There are two options; either you'll assign compatible SATA mode (in BIOS), or you leave the option in AHCI mode and will include the SATA drivers that are part of the Intel Storage Manager.
  Intel Storage Manager can be downloaded from the Toshiba page (you can find it in the category U400).

  I managed to include the SATA drivers with nLite and everything worked as it should.
  PS; Win XP should include min. SP2!

• I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true?

  I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?

  original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

  If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

  1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

  2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

  3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

• Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP? I have

  I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

  Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

  If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

  Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.
