  • Satellite L355-S7907 - how downgrade from Vista to XP?

    Hello

    I recently bought the Satellite L355-S7907 and do not like Vista I want to run Windows XP Service Pack 2 on it. Now I tried several methods, first start XP from CD, it loads for a few minutes then I get the blue screen of death, by saying that I should run ' CHKDISK F.
    I ran check disk and my my hard drive is fine.

    The other method I've tried is partition my hard drive then when Vista is on trying to install XP on the new partition. Vista allows me to install on a partition, because "Windows on your computer is newer than the version on CD.

    What should I do here? I don't like Vista and I'd love to have XP working on this laptop.

    Any help much appreciated

    Hello

    Downgrade from Vista to XP isn t possible. Therefore, you must make a clean and new Windows XP installation. You wrote that you get a BSOD if you start from XP disc, what code BSOD is it exactly?

    I guess you only need drivers SATA to install XP. Have you installed them?
    In addition I recommend read the discussions here in the forum about it. You'll have hundreds of them! ;)

  • Satellite A200 - BSOD after downgrading from Win Vista to XP Pro

    HII

    I bought a Satellite A200.
    The windows vista family edition was the operating system that was installed.
    Compatibility issue with a particular software that I use, I changed the vista by a XP Professional SP3.
    But since then, the computer crashes and present a blue screen. I wish I had some ideas to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The BSOD can be caused by the problem of hardware and software problem.
    In your case it seems s due to software problem. Maybe a few compatibility problems between certain parts of the software

    First you need to check if you are using the version of Win XP BIOS Yes this laptop needs a Win XP BIOS, which could be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I m also interesting when the BSOD appears you installed Win XP successfully or it was not possible to install the XP because the BSOD?

    If you were not able to install Win XP then I guess you don't have included SATA drivers participating in the crib on Intel Matrix Storage.

    I recommend some threads here in the forum about this theme.

  • Is it possible to downgrade from Vista home to XP?

    Is it possible to downgrade to xp if my machine came with Vista? I lose what I have saved if I am able to do?

    Thank you in advance

    You will need to see if you can install XP (read below on the XP drivers).

    As you have Vista Home Edition, XP is NOT free.

    You will lose everything.

    Installation of XP instead of Vista:

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

    Then buy a disc XP and license.

    Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

    Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

    http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

    Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

    Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

    See you soon.

  • Satellite Pro A200GE how downgrade from Vista to XP?

    Hello

    I had Satellite Pro A200GE with Windows Vista Business Edition preinstalled in it.

    Am not really satisfied with Windows Vista and I would like to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.

    I don't have a CD to install Windows XP Professional, but don't know how to install it on a Vista machine.

    I tried to boot my Vista laptop on this XP disc but no joy...

    Is there another way to install XP on the computer before installing vista?

    or I have to buy any disc retailer downgrade?

    Any help appreciated

    Thank you
    Vishal

    You can install XP on this laptop. As you say you have to boot from the XP CD to install it on the HARD drive.

    But maybe your OS doesn't see the HARD internal disk? In this case, you need to install the SATA driver first. The Manager of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager includes the SATA driver. Intel Matrix Storage manager can be downloaded from the Intel Web site.

    During the installation of Win XP, it must use the F5 key to include the SATA driver from an external FDD drive (floppy).

    If you don t have an external USB FDD then you can use the program called nLite.
    For more information, I recommend goggling for nLite software.

  • Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA-03C010 - downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hello

    I'm really new to all this, so I hope that will not ask a question that has already been answered :)

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 (model PSAGCA-03C010) in October 08. It came with a preinstalled version of Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Initially, using Vista was not too bad, but it happened at a point now where his things slows down and is really frustrating. Want to downgrade (/ upgrade) go back to Windows XP and I want to know the "implications" of this and if the Toshiba Utilities are consistent and will work with XP.

    First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?

    Also, I am concerned about the Wi - fi, bluetooth, finger scan and HDMI applications - will this work with XP?

    Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?

    Thanks in advance and again once, apologies if these qns have already answered in other posts (im not too technical).

    Tools and Vista drivers are not compatible with Win XP. If you want to install Win XP and want to use all the features of the laptop you must make sure that the Win XP drivers are available for this model of laptop.

    Satellite A300 PSAGCA seems to be an Australian model. The drivers are placed here:
    http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

    I checked this and found a few tools and drivers for this device.

    > First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?
    No, you can not use it because it belongs to the Vista operating system preinstalled on your laptop.

    > Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?
    Yes, the recovery disk allows to reverse the laptop back to factory settings.
    You will get the same as on the first day of purchase

  • Satellite L300 - 03C - how downgrade from Vista to XP?

    I get blue screen after Installation finished.

    How do I get help please

    Hello

    What BSOD you get exactly?

    Satellite L300, you need SATA drivers to install Windows on a drive of Microsoft because it s equipped to a SATA HDD. The driver you need you can find in the Intel Storage Manager package on the Toshiba site.

    If you don t have an external floppy drive you can use nLIte to create your own with these drivers installation disk.

    I bought a 1NB A200 and I intend to downgrade from Vista to XP.
    I would like to create a CD of tools and utilities, but do I need to do before the low grade or can I do after?

    Also, I have to change the BIOS for XP before you install on the system or install XP first and then modify the BIOS for XP after installation?

    Thanks for your help.

    *@Brown*

    Hello

    If possible, try to update the BIOS first, and then reinstall the operating system.

    I think you also need download all drivers Toshiba XP before installing XP on this OS. Without the LAN or WLan you will not be able to connect to internet ;)

    Hello!

    Downgrade from Vista to XP isn't very difficult and it should be possible that you can do yourself.

    You need at least one drive in Microsoft Windows XP with SP2. Boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. But you need the SATA drivers, the computer can recognize the HARD drive. For drivers, you need Intel Storage Manager, which can be downloaded on the site of Toshiba and this is workaround step by step how to do this:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

    If you have installed XP, you must install all the drivers and tools for this. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite U400 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hello guys,.

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with a pre-installed version of Vista business & do not like. It came with a recovery disk for Windows XP Pro product. This confused me a bit. Can I downgrade Vista Business with XP Pro?

    My next question is, if I can downgrade to XP Pro I need registry XP with Mircosoft?

    Also, if I do not need to register with Mircosoft XP, where can I get the registration key of?

    Greatly forward a response.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
    But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

    But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

    If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
    AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.

    Happy new year to you all. I have a problem with the adapter wireless following a downgrade from Vista to XP Pro home. Device Manager indicates that a network adapter, which is the LAN and it does not work properly.

    I have two points with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

    I find all the major engines of the Toshiba Australia but he lists three (I think) site possible WLAN - Atheros, RealTek, and one of the other manufacturers.

    I tried all three without success but am willing to acknowledge that I can have a mistake, perhaps by installing all three drivers at the same time for example.

    The indicator on the front of the box portable wireless lights on or off with the hard switch setting.

    I am also unable to locate the display of all available wireless netrworks, this can be a symptom of the driver is not installed.

    I tried to locate the wireless card, but it doesn't seem to be accessible through the background panels, including the Panel of RAM module.

    Any ideas please?

    > I have two Articles with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

    The Ethernet controller is the WLAN adapter.
    I guess that the WLan driver is missing and so the wireless network card does not appear under network adapters

    Hello

    I used the search option and found many threads on the downgrade from Vista to XP on Satellite P200 PSPB0E

    All Toshiba drivers are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Of course, you won't find additional software and programs like WinDVD, etc. insofar as these software are only a part of the Toshiba recovery image and as I guess are not to free them.

    An important note; you need to install XP drivers as mentioned in the installation instructions txt file. This doc is also found on the Toshiba driver page!

    Then you should not get any trouble of installation.

    Best regards and happy new year 2008 :D
