• Satellite A200-1AD - downgrade from Windows XP Home edition

  I've read all the other different threads around the upgrade/downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  1. What do I need to change the BIOS before I start to replace Vista by XP or can I wait until I loaded the base XP and then make the BIOS change?

  2. If I try and update the BIOS for XP and it crunches the laptop is covered by the warranty?

  If the 2 answer is Yes, then I'll save a step by step process that I do to change the operating system from Vista to XP. Any help much appreciated.

  Hello Ken

  All I know is some BIOS designed for Windows XP Home edition for computer series laptop Satellite A200. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my A200 but some FN keys do not work properly. Other stuff works well and WXP turns quite quickly.

  I recommend installing WXP without updated BIOS to see if there is a serious problem. If this is not the case, leave such BIOS what.

• Downgrade from Windows Vista Home Edition to Windows XP Pro Dutch on Satellite P200-15N

  Not knowing where I really should put this... I put it in this part of the forum too :)

  So:

  Hello

  I bought a new laptop with Vista Home and two Partitions... I would like to install on the second partition "Windows XP pro" (with official key & SP2 included)! But when I run the XP Cd I get an error that the HD is not recognized... So I searched on the forum here, to see if there is a possibility of passby he...

  So what I did:
  (1) I download the "Intel storage drivers" of->
  http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go %21

  (2) I used the Floppy machine, to create a floppy disk with the necessary drivers (also from the above site)

  (3) I downloaded a copy of freeware "Nlite".

  (4) I also downloaded the additional drivers on the "Toshiba" site itself (Lan, storage,...)

  (5) I did a "Xp Pro P200-15N" card and put all the drivers... Including the Exe I downloaded from the link above named "iata76_cd.exe"...

  (6) I have made a new Win XP bootable CD with "Nlite" & added all the drivers that I downloaded and followed the procedure given by "Nlite". He made a new bootable CD (with all the drivers and .exe and .inf, etc...)

  (7) then I boot my laptop with the CD, but it always gives an error on sata drives... (that it can not be found...)

  So my question is... What I'm doing wrong and what should the other drivers I download to make it work? I have an external USB floppy drive... If additional drivers must be added... So I hope that there is someone can help to Ho...

  I install XP for professional reasons. Things Vista Home can not handle...

  Hope I got a respons soon... CZ, looks really URGENT...

  THX in advance and sorry if there are errors in my writing (I still am of Belgium)

  UPDATE *.
  The method above does not work for me... So took my USB floppy drive and put the drivers on it (hit 'F6' at the start, added the drivers found on the link above, it install it)...
  Then I could also choose a partition...

  So far so good... He asked me if wanted to format it or not... I said ok...
  Then, when he wanted to start the copy, I got:

  Insert the CD-rom or the floppy disk with the name
  Driver Intel Matrix Storage Manager
  In station of A:

  * Press ENTER when you are ready...

  And I do not know what I do... CZ hitting enter doesn't do anything: s

  So what I'm doing wrong, it becomes really ANNOYING and frustrating... I did everything they said in the link, in fact the method with f6, but still now reaction: s... Everyone?

  Sincerely,
  Frédéric

  Thanks for the latest info!

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  To repair your Vista operating system recovery media:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

• Satellite L40 - no sound after reinstalling Windows XP Home edition

  I really need help from anyone out there. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my Toshiba Satellite L40 after that I realized, there is no sound. I tried to install all kinds of updates, drivers and all, but still nothing.

  All make me is that I have no audio device.
  Grateful for the help as soon as possible.
  Holla.

  Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?
  Are you sure that you have installed all the drivers?

  Have you installed SP2 or SP3 for Windows XP? You must at least use SP2 for XP.

  And as said Akuma, check the Microsoft KB to the hoftixes. Before you apply this update, you must remove the driver. Otherwise it will not work.

  You can also search in the forum, there are already discussions on this topic.

• How to format c drive Windows XP Pro? I'm trying to downgrade to Windows XP Home Edition OEM CD. Request CD will not allow.

  Hello

  I have a PC with XP Pro, which I think is not a legitimate copy of the operating system.  So, I am trying to install an original OEM OS from Windows XP Home ed. Paraphasing error message: "Cannot go back," I want to start by reformatting the c drive.  However, I don't know how to do so on Windows and in the 'Run' dialog screen.  I tried to start the configuration of the screen (F8 on reboot) but the CD player says "disabled", and I can't seem to activate.  Any help that works will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
  PS: this is my first time using this forum, so I hope I can find the answer if someone answers

  I think xp reformatted drive what ever you choose to install on. A good work-around: do you do a fdisk. Set your bios to boot from floppy. Go to the directory and use the format command. That it will scan.

  Hi jackieT387,

  Thanks for posting. To perform the upgrade, you must download the House to a pack of equal service than the Pro version. After having done that, you should have no problem, perform the upgrade.

  I hope this helps!

• Downgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit to 32 bit

  Hello

  I have a Pavilion tx1215nr that is currently running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. My laptop has 1 GB of RAM. I find my laptop slow, I think that the reason is that 64-bit requires 2 GB of RAM. There is no RAM upgrade for this model. So I wonder if there is anyway I can downgrade to the 32-bit version.

  If it is not could you send add a download link to windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit download, as it was the previous operating system

  Thank you

  Hello

  You must do a clean Windows 7 32 bit install - if you bought the retail version of Windows 7, it will have come with 32-bit and 64-bit installation discs.  The same activation key will work for both versions.

  Kind regards

• DOWNGRADE FROM WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM TO XP HOME

  Can I install a fresh copy of Windows XP Edition to replace Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade family?  If so, the XP upgrade disk will allow for a full and clean install in the process without problems?  The XP disc I am wanting to use seems to have no service pack included.  Just the original 2002 version.

  Thank you!!

  The drive to upgrade XP (without Service Pack) requires that, during installation, you insert a disc Windowqs 98 or Windows ME to complete the installation and the XP active. For XP Professional Windows 2000 disk is also acceptable.

  Also, be aware that it may not be the device drivers XP available for your brand and model of the computer according to how old he was. If you built the computer yourself check the web site of the manufacturer of the motherboard to support to download the XP drivers.
