• 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.

• 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.

  In addition, I can recommend hundreds of discussions on this question here in the forum.

  Thank you

  Hi guys

  I would like to add that the Satellite A200 - 1 M 4 belongs to the * PSAE0E * series.

  This series needs a BIOS update after installing XP.
  The European driver Toshiba page provides a special version of Win XP BIOS.

  In addition, you can find the + Installation Instructions on the page of the driver.

  This document provides the proper installation order which is very important to get all the drivers and tools work properly.

• How downgrade from Vista Home Premium to Vista Home Basic

  Original title: I tried to upgrade Vista Home Basic to home premium how to uninstall and restore my previous settings on my laptop in my Home Basic

  How can I delete what I've installed and return to my Home Basic

  Hello
   
  1. Why did you downgrade to Vista Home Basic?
  2. how upgrade from Home Premium?
  3 did you use Windows Anytime Upgrade to upgrade?
  4. do you have the basic install of Vista Home Edition support?
   
  You cannot revert to a previous version after you upgrade, the only option you have is to clean install Home Basic. I suggest you back up your data on an external drive or another computer and do a clean install using the installation of Vista Edition family media Basic.

• Satellite U400-03 s - how downgrade from Vista to XP?

  Hi guys,.

  I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with pre-installed Vista Business and I want to downgrade to Windows XP Professional. My laptop comes with a professional the product for Windows XP Recovery disk, but I don't know how to use this drive as it did not come with serial number.

  Where can I get the serial number? I have to ring Microsoft or Toshiba?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  AFAIK the downgrade is fairly easy: just boot from the disk of XP downgrade that was shipped with your laptop and follow the instructions on the screen and that s all you have to do! :)

  You n t need a serial number, if you install the operating system on a disk from Toshiba. It s already configured.

• 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

  I have Windows XP disc but do not know how to pass Windows Vista

  * original title - I have Windows XP but when I had another computer it was Windows Vista.  Should is it difficult to switch from Windows Vista to Windows XP If Yes, how I do to make it.*

  You will need to reformat. Boot from the XP cd (you must change the boot on the CD drive in the BIOS).

  This will remove everything in Vista. So, if you decide to reinstall XP, copy / save (you can not copy programs, you will need to reinstall them), what you want first. Because you will not get it back after

  Hi, recently buy recon HP pc, works well but has Vista installed. I compose music and found that the thing does not like Midi puts and on-site. I want to downgrade to good old windows XP, as it does not, please what is the process to achieve this? IM no PC illiterate, so please don't advise me to change the registry, etc. Thanks John

  If you don't have your own copy of Windows XP that you do not use on another machine, you will need to find someone who will sell you a. This must be a full retail do not copy the recovery disc that distribute computer with preinstalled Windows systems manufacturers. This will be limited to a particular machine. You will also need to go to drivers and downloads from the HP Web site and check if HP provide XP drivers for your model. If they are not, you will have problems of implementation.

  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?

  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.
