Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

Hello!

I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)

Good bye

    I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?

    original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

    If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

    1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

    2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

    3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

  • Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP? I have

    I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

    Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

    If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

    Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.

  • How do I uninstall Satellite L300 - 11 q Vista and install Windows XP

    Hello!

    Please help: How do I uninstall Windows Vista from my laptop and install Windows XP?
    Should I do something with discs and seized BIOS, or I can just format C drive and then install XP CD-drive?

    How can I make a recovery disk before you uninstall Vista?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    It's very easy if you want to get rid of Vista simply boot from the Windows XP CD, format the HARD drive and install XP on partition C instead of Vista.
    That s it.

    I put t know what laptop have you but the laptop most recent are equipped with the SATA controller and the SATA driver must be installed or included in the CD of Win XP to install XP on the HARD drive. The SATA driver is part of the Manger of Intel Matrix Storage, which can be downloaded from the Intel site or page of the Toshiba driver.

    Just FYI; in this forum, you can find a lot of details in the various messages on the Intel storage Manger. Just use the search option.

    When instering a disc from the player to move and rotate the disc, so im hoping that this is a technical question and did not need new disc.

    Any help is welcome

    Thank you

    Hi mate

    Don t you worry it seems that it s just a registry problem.
    First of all, remove the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager list.
    Then, go to the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    + HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} +.

    Details here:

    Reboot the laptop.
    Wait that the OS again recognized the CD/DVD drive and check it out.

  • Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

    I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
    Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
    I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

    Hey guys

    You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
    Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

    It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

  • Helps to remove Windows Vista and install Windows 8

    I recently bought Windows 8 after an online test (aka Upgrade Assistant) from my computer that says it would work. However, when insert the disc of Windows 8, it is said showed an alert/warning that it may work for Windows 7 but can not for Windows Vista or XP. The salesman at Staples said it would work (so the part of why I bought it), but it might remove applications and software I had installed, take it back to factory settings. I'm fine with that, I don't mind re - install Office and my other software. I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to get Windows 8 to install and remove Vista. Here are my computer record compared to Windows 8 requirements:

    Processor - Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU 2.4 GHz

    RAM: 4 GB

    Hard drive: 32 Bit OS, 350GB free 451GB

    Graphics card: DirectX 10, ATI Radeon HD 3450, screen resolution 1024 X 768.

    Your help is greatly appreciated, TIA!

    Hi somali.cc,

    / 3GB is fine. Once you have installed Microsoft Virtual PC and start creating a virtual machine only allocate 1 GB of memory for the virtual machine. This will give you then 1 GB for XP and the other 2 GB for your Vista system.

    Here is the download link for Virtual PC 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en
