Satellite Pro S300 - how to install XP next to Vista?

Hello world
could you please tell me if there is a standard way to install a new copy of "WIN XP" next to the pre-installed "Vista Business", recovery usig disks included in the packaging of product or using a standalone installation CD?

Thanks in advance

Hello

As far as I know the XP disc that comes with the laptop you can t make a system dual-boot. It s only one disk to downgrade from Vista to XP.
You can try to post your score, but it s on your own risk.

In the worst case, you will need to use a Windows XP that you can buy in a computer store or somewhere else. Then it s definitely not a problem to make a dual system boot between XP and Vista.
I have my laptop Toshiba system dual boot with XP and Vista and it works well! :)

    I put my Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 from Windows 7 to Windows 8 at level and I am stuck at the point where I need to uninstall first TrueSuite Access Manager.

    It is not listed under programs and features, so I can't uninstall it from there.

    I can't believe that if the utility is installed, it should appear in the box programs and features.
    On the other hand also the fingerprint driver is installed

  • Satellite Pro S300 - how to enter the supervisor password?

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro S300-11 years and have a problem. One day, I decided that wanted to put a password for the supervisor to the bios of the laptop. Now, I remember this password, but when I have access to the BIOS Setup, I can't watch any o change option disable this password. I can't enter this password to set me a supervisor, and also I can't change some options with respect to the example, the boot sequence.

    How can I remove this password or how do I log in as a supervisor? I see no option for this, and I need to change the boot sequence.

    A big thank you.

    Hello

    On this that I can only say, check your user manual! ;)

    There, I created the following information:
    + C:\Program Files\Toshiba\PassowrdUtility\TOSPU.exe+
    + This utility allows you to do the following: +.
    + Register, remove, or change the supervisor password.
    + Create or cancel a supervisor password token +.

    Check this and then you should be able to remove the password if you know the current.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

    AHOY!

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

    It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

    However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

    * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

    I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

    + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

    And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

    (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

    I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
    A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

    With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
    If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
    On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

    Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
    > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
    I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

  • Satellite Pro 440 - how to install the OS?

    Hello.
    I work with the old Satellite Pro 440. I have a problem with reinstalling Windows 98.

    I don't have a CD of the device and the FDD. But I have installed MS-DOS 6.22 on the HARD drive and folder with Win98.
    When I start to appear then receipt message on screen: "ATTENTION: a serious error occurred when writing on drive c. Retry (r)? Checked HARD drive on another PC and errors was not recognized. HDD (Toshiba MK6015) had divided to two parts: C - FAT 1024Mo, D - FAT32 rest.

    Please help me.

    How did you check the HARD drive? What tests did you use?
    I have good experiences with the Drive Fitness Test (freeware).

    This error is strange, but I think the best way would be if you format your drive and copy the files to the HARD drive.
    Maybe this might help you.

    I have too many Satellite Pro A300 and it s not delivered with the Toshiba Recovery disk because you create such a floppy yourself. So start the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop and you can create this disk. It contains a picture of the factory settings, and so you can restore the entire system every time.

  • Satellite Pro U400: How to remove folder HDD Recovery Vista running Win 8

    Hello!

    I have updated my Windows Vista to Windows 8 via the Microsoft upgrade offer. Toshiba does not support the upgrade of the Satellite PRO U400 of Win8, but it works so far, only a few features are missing...

    In this HARD drive recovery process, Vista folder remained on my partition E: (containing about 5 GB of files dated 2008...).

    I HAVE (even 2 sets of) recovery DVD for Vista.
    The infrastructure of original HDDRecory for Vista on the laptop ran defective, already long ago for some reason any.

    There is therefore no reason to keep the old HDD Recory on E: folder.
    It is completely unnecessary and I would like to remove this folder without formatting E:.
    However, although I work with admin rights, this is strictly rejected by the system of Windows 8.

    Is there any idea how to get the access rights to delete the HDDRecory folder?

    Best regards and thanks for the help!
    Gernot

    So far I didn't test these actions, but if you have administrative rights, maybe it's possible to delete certain partition and without changing the ability to create a new.
    Try to do this, use the option of disk management in computer management.

    Of course before trying to do this backup all other important data stored on that partition.

    Please let me know if it will work.

  • Satellite Pro L510 - how to install XP?

    What should I do to install Windows XP on my Satellite L510?

    Hope you can help me. Thank you.

    Hey,.

    Theoretically, it is very easy to install XP: take a Windows XP disk, insert into Notepad and boot from it. Follow the instructions on the screen and that s all!

    But the problem is I think you n t get drivers for Satellite L510. Windows XP is the past and old, now it s Windows 7. Then you should be happy with your preinstalled operating system (also Vista).

    If you want XP you can install it, but you have to collect the drivers yourself on external sites, such as Intel, Realtek, and far.
    Good luck!

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H: charging not not after re-installation of software

    My laptop has been "reset" by a Virus called AdwCleaner last week removal tool (CAUTION - do NOT run it on your laptop - if could ruin your life!)  :(

    In any case, the result of it was that I had to take it to a repair shop where they were unable to restore Windows XP I had used since I got the machine, and so they have had to re - install the original Windows Vista which was the OS when I bought it. (I bought a "downgrade" to XP disc with the laptop)

    Until that happened, the charging of the battery and everything worked well, but since I'll be back my laptop from the store, battery does not charge.

    When I hover over the right low battery icon, it says "3% available, battery not charging".
    The battery is OK, because if I unplug the power cable, the laptop stays on.

    Is there some setting somewhere that is revealing the machine do not recharge the battery?
    How can I get it back to normal?

    See you soon,.
    Select this option.

    I m thinking in particular software and tools such as value added package

    I also recommend you to check the Device Manager.
    In Device Manager, expand battery area.
    Here, you must first uninstall the
    -Battery method to check compatible ACPI Microsoft
    -Microsoft AC adapter
    -Battery composite Microsoft

    Reboot the laptop.
    Check how to work the battery charging process
    In the case where they would find the new hardware (these would be three uninstalled devices from Device Manager) wait until the system has installed the driver, reboot once again and check the load

  • Satellite Pro S300 - 10-fc06-0002 error recovery disc

    I have a Satellite Pro S300 the recovery partition has long been eliminated and the computer was working fine until I opened an e-mail allegedly Fed Ex, ERROR!

    A got a malware virus really bad.

    So I bought a vista business recovery disk for my computer and wiped hard drive t.He. During the installation of Vista, I get a preinst5.swm missing on the first disc.

    After that I skipped the file I got an error of 10-fc06-0002 on the second disc and a cancellation of the installation.
    I looked online for this error and a lot of people have had the same problem. Nobody seems to know what to do.

    I installed Vista Home Premium from a disk recovery Dell with no problems, however, when I tried to change the product key to that on the computer I got the key was not good for the version of hp vista.

    So what to do.
    I think Toshiba made a good product, but the recovery disk, they sent me for $30 was bad.

    I thought that I could copy the disc on another computer and copy a good version of preinst5.swm and try to make a good recovery disk, but I don't have a lot of confidence in Toshiba software.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - screen is blank and can not restart

    A week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 at night (as usual). It was fine tonight.

    The next day, I got a black screen and a flashing light orange on the left side. I tried to turn it off, don't restart, no dice. I tried removing the battery and restart under just current alternative, nothing, I tried the opposite. Nothing. I tried to let the battery and then recharge. No help. Very rarely when I plug it in again, I will get the green light for a few seconds, but then again the yellow flashing light. Nothing EVER on the screen.

    I've only had this laptop since MAY! What's wrong!!

    Have you installed extra RAM in the system?

    Try to remove one of the Modules or swap them around.

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem. An FSL can repair it for you - free if its under warranty.
