Satellite A205-S7464: how to install for XP Pro SP2 Toshiba common Modules

Hi all.

I have a new laptop computer that is preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Premium because they tend to.
Vista will not run a number of programs I need to run, I found, and I really don't like that much anyway...
I decided to install Windows XP.

I partitioned the HD and ran the installation program to a new partition on the disk with all the drivers that I have collected for sleepstreamed XP on my XP Professional Retail drive. There is no problem. I got everything up and going very well. My only problem now (well, except for some residual issues with the original partition to Vista), is I can't get utilities Toshiba owners going so that I can use for example the keys FN + commands, options power management, etc.

I've experimented with a couple of different versions of the Modules around common drivers and other utilities, but have some still been unable to get things moving in the direction I want to go.

Essentially, it's really control FN + F6 and F7 (brightness adjustment), as the monitor on this beast kills a battery.
I tried the support from Toshiba, but without success.
I know that the Vista to XP downgrade is a fairly common gesture, so if someone has been there and could give me some guidance step by step in getting things market I would be forever indebted.

The model is Toshiba Satellite A205-S7464, Réf. PSAF3U-07300V.
Let me know if any other information is needed.

Thanks in advance, Jacob

There seems to be a series of laptops that have been delivered only in the USA and therefore all Toshiba drivers and utilities must be installed from the US site.

It is a Toshiba driver page we:

Where did you find this driver of common modules?

> I've experimented with a couple of different versions of the Modules around common drivers and other utilities, but have some still been unable to get things moving in the direction I want to go.
I assume that you are not able to install these common modules because you used the wrong version that does not and is not compatible with your laptop.

    No, the common modules are designed only for Win XP and this software is used by other tools and software from Toshiba, so in many cases the common Modules must be installed in order to get other software treatments of Toshiba by using Win XP OS.

    The VAP (value added package) is available for Windows 7 and Vista.

    Hello

    As far as I know Satellite 1900-803 supports Cardbus 32-bit/PC-Card 16 - Bit interface and you can use cards PCMCIA Type II (x 2) or Type III (1 x)
    Before you buy the PCMCIA card to USB you should check if it's compatible with your laptop.
    But I agree with Quad. The PCMCIA card is a good solution to use USB 2.0

  • Satellite A205-S4777: how long can I use the BT stack downloaded from the page

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4777 with windows vista home premium (bought in the USA two weeks ago).

    Yesterday I installed the new version of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 5.10.12 (T) who seems very comfortable. I bought, for this computer, in a store in line (not yet received) an ADAPTER of BLUETOOTHT TOSHIBA USB 2.0 + EDR capability wireless network with manufacturer part number: PA3477U-1BTM.

    My questions: after the installation of the aforementioned usb, the toshiba bluetooth stack bluetooth device will allow me to have the software (toshiba bluetooth stack) at the moment I need or will give me only 30 days trial?

    I knew that the toshiba bluetooth stack on the download site is for TOSHIBA hardware only.
    Is this USB Bluetooth device examined by the software as hardware Toshiba?

    Will it work ok with the satellite A205-S4777?
    I bought this camera because when I installed a usb bluetooth IOGEAR, worked well, but the software recommended in the bar of tasks such as software "will be used only for 30 days trial.

    That's why I bought the Toshiba usb bluetooth already above.
    Please let me know your experience or any help on this matter.

    With sincere friendships.

  • Satellite A210-15Y - how to install Windows XP?

    I had Windows Vista and I improve it with Windows 7. Now, I really want to install Windows XP.
    When I put the Windows XP CD in after awhile I get a blue screen whit an error.

    pls tell how to install Windows XP on my laptop and if I need some drivers do pls put links of whereIi can get them.

    PS Sorry for the bad English

    Hello

    I think the problem is that you tried to install Win XP without installation of the SATA driver.
    The A210 need driver SATA to recognize the HARD drive.

    You can also check the BIOS settings. There should be an option called SATA mode.
    This can be set between AHCI and compatible and this will allows you to install the Win XP without the first installation of SATA drivers.

    Also check the other threads here in the forum on the same topic!

    PS: It is advisable to use Win XP including SP3! You can include the SP3 using nLite software!
