• Satellite A300 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hi all
  I just bought a new Satellite A300 laptop, preloaded with VISTA with XP Downgrade option.

  I finished the VISTA (Setup) and the recovery of the DVD. Now, I really want to downgrade to Windows XP, using the supplied with the Toshiba laptop recovery CD, but the instructions are vague.
  I tried F12 at startup and select CD/DVD as the boot, but it seems to hang on the black screen.

  There are files on the disc (3.2 GB) I covered it on another PC. I also tried the option of recovering your system start-up (F8), but it does not determine that the drive is a recovery / disk backup. I don't want to just run right XP installation of my copy of license of Volume for obvious reasons.

  Does anyone have information / procedure on how to switch using the Toshiba provided CD?

  Any help gratefully received.
  With our thanks,
  Stu.

  Hello!

  You hear that the drive reads the disc XP if you boot from it? What is the computer hangs on empty screen or if you get an error message?

  You can boot from another drive? Maybe the downgrade does not work properly or it s a problem with CD/DVD player. Check it!

  Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

  Good bye

• Satellite X 200-219 - move from Vista to Win 7

  Hello

  at the end of the month I intend to remove Vista from my machine (Toshiba X 200-219) and install Windows 7 Pro with my uni offer now for £30.
  In the process, I'm going to save all my data on an external hard drive, then remove everything on portable hard drives 2, and then to change the partitions of the disk (75 GB) c and d ' training (150 GB) and disk (75 GB) f c (150 GB) and d road (150 GB).

  First of all I want just some information about the modification of partitions according to this (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-1_15.htm) installation guide for windows 7 it relatively easy as all I do is delete the specific partition (in this case f) and it adds to the first walk c.
  I just want to know what is correct or not, or what I need to do something different.

  Secondly when I am in the phase of the backup operation, I want to have a backup of the vista recovery partition image.
  Unfortunately I can't find anywhere on the hard drives. I have activated the hidden folders and still can't find, I know came with the laptop recovery CD is just a driver cd and has no operation on this cd.
  Is it possible to request a cd of vista? I have the cd key on the bottom of my laptop to prove I have a genuine copy.

  I just want to help to have a clean install of windows 7 with partitions of decent sizes on this matter and having to hand a back up of vista is that anything should go wrong.

  > I know came with the laptop recovery CD is just a driver cd and has no operation on this cd.
  That s bad!
  The Toshiba Recovery disk contains image files. The image is a package that contains the Windows operating system (Vista), Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities.
  Therefore, backup your personal data only.
  The recovery disk will install the Vista and drivers still on your laptop.

  In addition during the Win 7 installation process, the installer will provide an option to remove or change the size of the partitions
  So the easiest way would be to format the entire HARD drive, then create 2 partitions.

  See you soon

• Re: Downgrading satellite A210-1AS from Vista to WIN XP

  I have a desktop computer is fully functioning and a barely work Equium A210-1AS I Avanquest Fix - It 10 works well on the desktop. I installed the Fix - It 10 over satellite and after a day or if the computer crashed. It would start and after the endless restore operations and the uninstall of a program is not necessary and Fix - It 10 computer sort of works with a particular message. I was too mean a charge of £30 for a recovery disk for the Equius which has Vista Home OS. Now he is a true OEM CD of WIN XP I have in my possession. I bought and used on a desktop computer that I finally took to the discharge of the Council when it has stopped working.

• Move from Vista to Win 7 - multiple computers

  I just bought an another Win 7 Home Premium to upgrade three of my computers Vista to Win7.

  Only, I bought a package.  How and where to go (url please) I can easily and cheaply buy the

  two additional product keys?

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

• Satellite A350 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello

  Can some guide me in degardin Satellite A 350 from Vista to XP?

  Hello!

  And what do you know?

  If you want to install Windows XP on the laptop, you must only start since the installation of the disk and follow the instructions on the screen everything that s!

  But don t forget to install the SATA drivers. Otherwise I think that your HARD drive will be not recognized.
  And before installing XP you must burn the Toshiba Recovery disk if you didn't already. So, you can restore the factory settings whenever you want.

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA: how to install Win XP as 2nd OS

  Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
  My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

  You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

  The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
  How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

  2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

  See you soon

  > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
  Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
  You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

  But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

  With regard to the sound:
  As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
  But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
  I recommend to test

• Satellite A300-1BZ with Vista - Port Com disappeared

  Hello world.

  My first time and I'm a bit of a dunce with technical stuff, so please be gentle with me!

  A300-1BZ with Vista.

  Some time ago I installed "CarSoft V.83" (diagnosis engine) of CD on my laptop. He asked me to check the com port.
  I looked in Device Manager and in the list that I saw "port com 4". OK, we'll go with that then. Everything worked well and I was luckily away talking to my car.

  Yesterday I went to use it for the second time and he says there is an error with the com port and 'check' the com-port.
  So, I got the Device Manager to the top and there is no mention of any com ports in the list! It is the last time I looked, and now he's disappeared!

  I was at a loss what to do, I uninstalled the CarSoft, then re-intsalled once again. Received the same error message.
  Went to Device Manager. Still no com port 4 from the list, or anything that pertains to a com-port.

  I don't know how or if I can get it back.

  Help, please!

  Hi mate

  First of all there is no COM port. The com port that you could see in the Device Manager has been a virtual port created by the software of the car.

  What to say
  I recommend to remove the software of the car of the first installation.
  Then download the CCleaner and clean registry and system entries.
  Restart the computer, and then rerun the CCleaner
  After that, install the software in the car again

  Maybe it helps

• Can I put a Satellite A300-15 b Vista 64-bit?

  Hello

  I think to buy a satellite A300-15B, which sounds like a great machine for the price, but when I asked at the store if I can run Vista 64-bit, they told me that I can't do.

  What is the point of having 4 GB RAM (8 GB disposable?) then?

  Please can someone confirm if I have the opportunity to opt or not? (Living in the United Kingdom)

  Thank you

  Have you checked page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com drivers download 64-bit Vista and the availability of tools on Toshiba?

  Check if the drivers are available for this model of laptop PSAJ4E.

  > What is the point of having 4 GB RAM
  Good question for Microsoft. ;)

  By the way: is 4 GB maximum RAM capacity for this model of laptop.
