• Satellite A200 - 1 GB: Questions on downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 GB and I want to downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  + I install XP using nlite. +

  1. I have 2 partitions and I would like to know if my other partition (not the one with the operating system) will be also well formatted?

  2. I have Vista Bios. Should I change it to XP? And if so when do I need to do.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  The original CD of Microsoft Windows XP provides an option to modify, create or delete partitions on the HARD disk.
  If during the XP installation procedure, you should be able to install XP on a single partition. Other partitions will not be formatted!

  With regard to the BIOS:
  You could update the BIOS after installing XP.
  The laptop must run also without the update of the BIOS.

  But from my knowledge the FN keys would work using the operating system XP and Vista BIOS. So if you need to use all the features of the laptop, the BIOS update would be desirable.

  See you soon

• Satellite L300 PSLB8A - cannot locate the WLan adapter after downgrading from Vista to XP

  Model - L300 Satellite PSLB8A-01F004
  Australian model
  Place of residence current UK

  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

• Need help with this problem without downgrading from Vista to XP pro.

  OK so I have a problem, but it is in a common category, it is a rare problem as given that everywhere I look I can't seem to find someone who has the same problem.

  Question #1: Heres Alright so my question downgrade from vista 64 bit of the month last to XP pro SP2... Well, I'm going through the process of installation very well, wipe the hard drive, make new partion (or how ever spell you it) etc. It starts the formatting, and it installs everything seems to be fine. Now when it comes to the reboot screen it counts down it restarts correctly now, this is where the problem occurs. During the restart of the process rather than continue through the installation process which should be, where it says "Press any key to boot from the CD" soon after that instead of going into the installation process it says "disc read error" or something of the sort just underneath. Help, please!

  Question #2 also now that I re installed vista I did all good also, erased the hard disk (even I tried to install XP on) just to make sure they had no data on this. Well now, during startup it asks if I want "a previous version of windows" or "Windows XP" as if I double started somehow. Vista loads still very well when I choose it however. If I managed to do an install own success of XP it should fix right?

  Thanks again.

  Hi Kevin112,

  Thanks for posting. Follow these steps on your XP disk.

  1. place your Windows XP installation CD and start to her...
  2. Press any button to start the Windows installation (don't worry... we do not actually use the installer at this point)
  3. wait a few moments for the installation program starts, when you see repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, and then press the R key
  4. wait until you see this screen, enter the number of your master installation. (Typically 1 to C:\Windows)
  5. press ENTER.
  6. If you are prompted to do so, enter your administrator password. If you don't have one, leave the field blank and press to enter.
  7. from the command prompt, type: chkdsk/r (note the space between chkdsk and / r)
  Allow it to complete undisturbed.
  8. remove the disc, then restart.

  After completing this, then format it and try to reinstall XP again. As for your other question if completely format you your drive using XP you should not see the previous version of XP. The only reason you would see that it's the Vista BCD is located on a second hard drive in your computer. If this is the case and you want to do an install own format two readers please.

• Satellite L300 PSLB8A - Webcam failure when installing Vista SP2

  Hello

  Since I've updated my Satellite L300 PSLB8A 047004 to Service Pack 2 of Vista there was a dialog box that is displayed at startup reported that the driver of the webcam has failed. Everything else is Ok.
  When I searched in the Panel of control-> system area and select the menu option to find the newest driver, it was reported that the latest driver is installed.

  Anyone can help please, would be much appreciated?
  Best regards... KeV.

  Hey Buddy,

  I think you need to reinstall the webcam driver and that should be all...
  You can download the latest driver for the webcam on the official website of Toshiba.

  But I recommend to remove the old display first driver. This means that you need to check the control panel > Add/Remove programs for the old software assistant camera. Uninstall and restart your laptop. After that, it should be possible to install the latest driver of the webcam works correctly.

  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 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

  J.B

  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 A200-1NB: Question about downgrade from Vista to XP

  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 ;)

• Downgrading from Vista to Windows XP Home in Satellite P200-16 b

  Hi people!

  I wonder if someone has already tried to downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP. I have a Satellite P200-16 b.

  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

• 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.

• Satellite L300 PSLB8A display, only a black screen

  Hi guys

  Please help if you can; This morning I turned on my laptop (Satellite L300 PSLB8A-04R004 running Vista family) and all I get is a black screen.

  I tried removing the battery and turn on while plaugged in the power supply, same black screen.

  I tried to remove the battery then replace after 10 minutes, but the same black screen. All the power lights are on (but non-corps House).

  I tried everything suggested in support on the site page, but thought that you guys might have the answer?

  Thank you.

  > I have tried everything proposed in the support on the site page, but thought that you guys might have the answer?
  Seems that you have already tried a workaround solution that I would recommend.
  Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery, wait 1 hour or more.
  Reconnect the two parts and then try to switch on the appliance.

  If that does not help, then you might try to start the device using a single module of RAM.
  Maybe it's a question of s a RAM...

  Otherwise it s necessary to test the material parts and run diagnostic checks.
  This can be done by a Toshiba ASP.

  USB ports (2) do not work after the downgrade from vista to Windows xp family. All the drivers downloaded from Toshiba Web site.

  Thanks for any help,

  Camellia,

  Have you installed Win XP all service packs?
  SP2 provides some patches on the USB feature.

  You definitely need to update the Win XP OS
