Satellite Pro P300 - 18Q - upgrade to Windows XP

My colleague is about to buy a new laptop Satellite Pro P300 - 18 Q and asks me to perform the downgrade it to XP.

Are there instructions with the machine on the way to do it. ?
I know that it comes with Vista and XP Professional as recovery on DVD media.

Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hello

If this laptop comes with Windows XP Home edition recovery media, I don't understand why ask you the next question. Your colleague can decide which operating system they want to use. If he wants to use the Windows XP using WXP home edition recovery media and install the Windows XP Home edition operating system.

Someday, if he wants to use Vista, it can install it using sent Vista recovery image.

I hope you understand what I mean.

    The aircraft crashed the first time I tried to install XP.

    Anyone know if it is a driver problem or nobody knows how to solve this problem?

  • Satellite Pro U500-1DK - upgrade to Windows 7?

    Everyone has lowered the note a Satellite Pro U500-1DK for Windows 7 32-bit?

    If so, were all the drivers available?

    Hi jazzydog,

    I guess you want to do a downgrade to Windows 7 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit. Right?
    Well, the question is why you make such a downgrade because 32-bit is more obsolete because it supports only 3 GB of RAM.

    Satellite Pro U500 belongs to the series of PSU9CE and are therefore no drivers on the official page of Toshiba. So in my opinion, you should always use 64-bit Windows.

  • Touchpad on Satellite Pro P300 does not work with Windows 7

    Hello

    Recently, I load Windows 7 (64-bit) on my Satellite Pro P300. I downloaded all the drivers for W7 64 bit and installed everything, fortunately, most of the time.

    The touchpad, however, is not completely functional. The upgrade page says to use the Vista drivers and did not provide any drivers for win7. Installing the Vista drivers didn't really go so well.

    In any case, the essential element of the missing features is this thing where you drag your finger up and down the right edge of the touchpad, and it scrolls for you. I can click and double click and move the slider. But I can't scroll. And it's such a pain with move the slider above the scroll bar of the application, with a big screen.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - how to upgrade Intel GM965 display driver?

    Hello

    I do not found how can I update my graphics driver from the Web from Toshiba website. I found some other updates, but not this one...

    And I have a problem with a game (Starcraft II) with "igxprd32" which seems to refer to the Intel Graphics accelerator driver.

    When I go to the update site Intel it tells me:
    "A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. "

    But don t forget to extract the zip first, otherwise the driver will not be found. ;)

  • Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - driver Webcam open fail on Windows 7

    I installed the RC of Windows 7 64 bit on my Satellite Pro P300 PSPC5E and I have problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.

    I tried to install the Wizard software for the camera, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I get an error message with "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer.' nor a camera photo or computer restart the job. I get the image in Skype, but I can't change the settings or so (dark) and the microphone is much quieter, so it was on windows XP, it is set to its maximum.

    Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

    Hello

    I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment, because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there is no official driver for Windows 7.

    Have you tried the driver of Windows Vista so that s what you can do. Alternative visit you the Toshiba us page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for driver of Windows 7 beta. Maybe it works.

    Good luck! :)

  • The new use of recovery of Windows XP with my q Satellite Pro P300-19?

    I just bought a Satellite Pro P300-19 q with Vista pre-installed. I want to use Windows XP Professional instead and understand that I must use the DVD titled "Product development - Microsoft Windows XP Professional" supplied with the machine. To do this, however, the provided information sheet is not very useful when he says only: «you will have to load this...» »

    My question is: How do I do it from running the disc in the DVD player, just reveals several files which none will get me nowhere?

    Any help would be welcome.

    The recovery of Windows XP product disc contains an image of a Windows XP installation ready with all the drivers and tools.

    Before installing Windows XP, you should burn the Vista recovery disk because if you want to restore Windows Vista you will need this disc. So, you can restore the computer back to wherever it was when you originally received.
    So far as the recovery image (Vista) is only stored on the HARD drive and so you can burn it to a DVD:
    Click on the Toshiba recovery disc creator and insert a blank DVD. Then follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will be created.
    You are now able to boot from this DVD and install Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings).

    When you reinstall Windows with a recovery disk, the HARD disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost. This means that as other partitions so backup your data first.

    If you are using Vista it s also able to restore the factory since the HARD drive settings. Therefore, the files are stored in the folder HDDRecovery.
    So, if you want to put your mobile PC, press F8. Then you can see the menu and there advanced boot options, select repair your computer.
    Follow the instructions on the screen and the laptop will also reinstall.
    But don't forget, this (HARD disk recovery) feature is only available with Vista, not XP.

    So if you understand this and burned the Vista recovery disk, you can start to install Windows XP.
    Boot from the XP Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The installation of Windows XP does not have a lot of time and this procedure is similar to Vista. After installation you also have an installation with all drivers and Toshiba tools but with Windows XP of course.
    This is the content of the Windows XP Recovery disk.

    Hello

    You did a clean install of Windows 7, or you have upgraded the Vista to Win 7?

    I recommend a new installation of Windows 7. It's better, because an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 could leave some junk on the HARD drive and some tools/drivers Vista is not compatible with Win 7 OS.

    So to do a clean install of Windows 7, then download and install the new BT stack from this page:
