Satellite 4090CDS: is it possible to install Windows XP?

Hello

I am aware that the requirements for Win XP is hardly encountered a Satellite 4090 CDs, even with my extension memory of 192 MB of RAM. However, a few years back put us Win XP on a machine that has been much slower than 400 MHz and had no problem. In fact, it worked much better on XP from Win 2 k.

Someone has already tried to put Win XP on such an old machine? Can recommend you? Win 98 works well today butis not supported by most software.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanx

Hello

I think you can install XP on this unit, but the laptop must use 256 MB of memory to use the operating system with stable performance.
Try it out and check how it works. But don't forget to make a backup of your important files.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

    In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

    So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)

  • Satellite L650-14F - it is possible to install Windows XP

    Hello and sorry for my language.

    It is possible to install Windows XP on this laptop?
    I have the Satellite L650-14F and I want to install XP 64. but the problem is, with the drivers. are they compatible?

    Help, please
    Thank you

    Yes, you can install Win xp on this laptop, but you will need to use the drivers for Win XP 64-bit.

    European driver Toshiba page provides accurate drivers for 32it version, so you have to collect drivers 64-bit with your own hands...

    But to be honest; I do not recommend using Win XP 64 bit... either you choose 32 bit or Win 7 64 bit.

    Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as the 32-bit version and most of the applications and the software is compatible with the 32-bit version.

    My computer is several years old and came with Windows XP. Is it possible to install Windows 7? What happens to all my files, etc, if I did?

    Thank you.

    You will need to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It will inform you whether or not you can run Windows 7.

    In regards to your personal files, they must be saved on a device external or other removable media. This is because you can not 'upgrade' itself from Xp to Windows 7. It requires a clean install which means that all data on the hard disk is deleted during the installation of 7...

    Installation of Windows Xp from a usb key involves a lot more than simply copy the files from one windows on a USB disk. It is much more difficult than don't imagine most (but not impossible). I did it a few times. Read the instructions on the two links below. The first link below is your best bet. You are not likely to do things immediately. It's ok, we are here...

    Hi, is it possible to install Windows 7 on my PC? I already have Windows 10 but the thing is, I'm updating, I bought my PC pre-installed with Windows 10. Given that I have not upgraded, I can't downgrade. Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my PC without having to buy new? I've already paid for Windows 10 and the reason why I want to go back because 10 Windows is so buggy. I know not to download the ISO of Windows 7 images, but my product key does not work with it. Or y at - it a way to transfer windows 7 from my laptop to my desktop Windows 10? Please help and have a nice day!

  • It is possible to install windows XP in Windows 8 Pro

    It is possible to install Windows XP in Windows 8 Pro to work together. If so, how?

    You would have a better chance, installation of Windows 7. Many modern systems that are preinstalled with Windows 8 do not support Windows XP. Its too old. There is probably no support driver is (you can always try your luck and see your computer manufacturer web site).

    If you upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8, your system would be of course compatible Windows XP. In this case, you will need to redo the installation by installing Windows XP first, then Windows 8 after.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my Satellite M40X?

    Hello

    I tried to update on Windows 7. Now, I'm looking for a driver for audio, network and massstorage. It is generally possible to install win7?

    Thank you

    I can imagine that the Win7 installation is possible. Problem is that this old machine is not supported for Win7 but it is supported for Vista. If I m remembering so many drivers, tools and utilities for Vista can be used with Win7. You just need to test.

    I recommend you do clean install of Win7. After dong this start to install the Vista drivers. Also check Windows update. Many riders will find themselves automatically.

  • Satellite M70-151 - not possible to install new HDD

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite M70-151. bunch of old hard drive (100 GB Hitachi) reached the Windows XP screen then just ends with a blue screen a turn off laptop, immediately. I had to restore my data with an application file-rescue of another PC. It was not possible to start from old hard drive yet.

    Then I bought a Western Digital SATA II 250 GB hard drive that put my Windows XP CD in DVD player installed and tried to start. The laptop turns off as soon as the laptop computer tried to access the HARD disk.
    Thought, it was question of SATA II disk and tried a Samsung 160 GB Sata I - same result.

    BIOS recognizes the correct drives.

    If I try to boot from old hard drive, it shows the issue I mentioned first, but as before it reaches the Windows XP Boot screen before moving on to the blue screen before turning off the laptop. So start goes further than the boot with new hard drives

    The Windows XP CD I used is not the restore CD that came with the laptop, but a normal license.

    The heat is not a problem, I cleaned the CPU fan there is enough space to breathe the cold air mobile, the temperature is ok.

    * My questions are: *.

    Is there any special application running on laptops satellite, like special software of Toshiba, perhaps Backup, should I be aware of?
    What I need to preformat the hard drive, Toshiba-Hardware will recognize the hard drive?

    It would be great to get help on this issue, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

    Hello Andrew

    This behavior is very strange. I have some old Satellite M70-159 with 100 GB HARD drive. I also tested how it will work with a 250 GB HARD drive and all is well.
    On two drives, I have installed WXP using the Toshiba recovery image.

    I answer your two questions No. to install Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop you don't need some special Toshiba application or a piece of software.
    HDD should be recognized correctly by the BIOS and the Windows XP Home edition installation procedure should work well.
    What you can try is to set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

    The strange thing for me is that judgment. The blue screen tells me that there may be some serious hardware problem, the HARD drive controller might be. It's really not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem.

  • Satellite A500-1GH - need drivers after installing Windows

    Hi all

    I am facing a strange problem when I am trying to format my laptop.

    I boot from dvd press the option to install windows 7 and then I get the following error message:

    "Required the reader driver CD/DVD is missinjg. If you have a driver disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

    "Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can remove safely for this step.

    Start with a search on the net, I discovered that the more possible case is that the OS needs the driver HARD drive controller to continue.
    Assuming that this was the case, I downloaded from the support page, the following drivers:

    Storage Manager
    Chipset utility
    Intel Management Engine Interface and
    Intel Matrix Storage Management Utility

    After that, I extracted the executable files of the specified packages files on my USB flash drive and inserted in my Toshiba Sattelite but once again, he can not find the correct driver and displays the message:

    "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK. »

    Am I missing a driver or what? All the world is facing this problem?

    Thanks in advance for any answer and sorry for the mistakes with my English
