• Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

  I want to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200... once I downloaded the complete drivers compatible with XP I updated my version of BIOS to be compatible, then when I started the formatting procedure I've countered a problem when I want to choose the format of the hard drive... which is "no hard drive drivers were found.

  If anyone can help please :) Thank you.

  Hello

  The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
  You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

  In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!

• TS-l663b cd/dvd "device cannot start code 10" after uppgrade from vista to windows 7 home

  Compaq CQ60-216DX

  Hi, I've updated from Vista to Windows 7 Home, and now the CD player is missing and displays an error code "10" DEVICE cannot NOT START, under Device Manager.

  Looked for the drivers updated on the HP Support, there is none for CD player.

  Cannot back driver, grayed out.

  Restore opportunity to go back 2 months and still no progress. Installed software recently withdrawn from the HP (C5280) printer as well.

  Immediately after the upgrade, the CD player worked fine. Same load of music in iTunes.

  I am at a loss. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Paul, thanks for the quick response!

  Although the tool automated fix - It did not tour, the link you provided, was told in the right direction.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060#win7fix

  It seems that it is a well known problem of incompatibility between the TS-L663B with the Windows 7 upgrade.

  I just had to read the Let Me Fix It Myself solution because that relates to Windows7 and change the registry.

  Thanks again,

  Problem SOLVED!

• Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 home Premiun home

  I've recently updated my PC from Vista to 7, and it doesn't have me let use my Vista key. The key of Vista is always good and active, but don't let me use in the upgrade to 7. What should I do another get a new copy of Windows 7?

  The ability to use a Windows 7 product key to activate Windows 10 is a single device, associated with the activation of Windows 10. Windows 7 never allowed the use of a Vista product key to activate Windows 7.

  I need to know where you bought Windows 7 (not so).

  If you choose to buy an OEM of Windows 7 version, you can only perform a 'custom' / clean install and an upgrade of Vista (where is kept of your applications and your data are not possible0.)

  You could also try as an experience see if Windows 10 is compatible with your PC. You can download and install (activation will not work using your Vista key, so skip activation during the Windows Installer process 10).

  If Windows 10 installed and that you are able to start and use the features of Windows 10 then you might want to consider upgrading to Windows 10 since costs will be substantially the same (and it's a real version of "Retail" Windows 10 and not an OEM version, which means that if you decide to upgrade your PC at a later date you can re - install on the new PC and 'Activate' 10). The only thing you need to consider is if all your Vista applications will run in Windows 10.

• Can I use the Microsoft disc to update my window XP system to Windows 7 to update my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, I have purchased

  I bought a download to upgrade my XP to Windows 7 32-bit desktop computer. I also bought the discs 32 and 64 bit.

  Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?

  Thanks for any info

  First of all, note that you can use an upgrade, you cannot make a
  update from XP to Windows 7. You'll have to do a cleaning
  installation.

  Secondly, I do not understand why you bought both the download and the
  disks. It would appear that you need one. Can you elaborate?

  Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?

  You need a copy of Windows 7 for each machine. You cannot use the
  copy the same for both machines. But if you bought two copies, you can use
  one of them for each machine.

• Ultimate from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium or professional clean to install the new SSD

  I put my turn to level. It came with Vista Ultimate. I bought an SSD that will become my c drive. I want to do a clean installation in each Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional 64 bit on this player.  My drive/d has a backup of the Vista operating system. My drive is resumed. Do I have to buy a new copy of version single charge? If so, how will I know the source of what I buy sells an authentic copy or download? If not, what are the steps I need to take to upgrade? There is a number on the back of the workstation that would allow me to do it with the new drive installed? I don't want to have non-essential files on the SSD.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

  If you choose to buy the upgraded version:

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Possible work around you can try:

• Downgrading from Vista to Windows XP Home in Satellite P200-16 b

  Hi people!

  I wonder if someone has already tried to downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP. I have a Satellite P200-16 b.
  I was check in the support Web site and I found most of the pilots it but I think not all.

  Please post your comments here.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I used the search option and found many threads on the downgrade from Vista to XP on Satellite P200 PSPB0E

  All Toshiba drivers are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Of course, you won't find additional software and programs like WinDVD, etc. insofar as these software are only a part of the Toshiba recovery image and as I guess are not to free them.

  An important note; you need to install XP drivers as mentioned in the installation instructions txt file. This doc is also found on the Toshiba driver page!

  Then you should not get any trouble of installation.

  Best regards and happy new year 2008 :D

• Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium Enterprise?

  I think my laptop at home has Windows Vista Business edition (I'll have to double check when I get home). I was wondering if I could buy the upgrade from Vista business to Windows 7 Home Premium edition. I don't need all the stuff that comes with Windows 7 Professional, but I don't know if I am limited to just Windows 7 professional since I'm upgrading to Vista professional. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium is a notch down from Windows 7 Professional, so I was wondering if it is possible to do. Or I'm stuck after you buy the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium for the SB $ 199.99 upgrade $ 119.99.

  Then I can buy just the Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium, Version upgrade and just do a custom installation? The instructions are fairly easy to follow? The only upgrade I've ever done is when I got my laptop from XP to Vista, (it came with XP installed and they gave me a CD to upgrade to Vista if I wanted to).

  Yes, its simple, simply start your desktop of Windows Vista professional, insert the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade DVD, click install now. When the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

• Move from vista to windows 7 on the same computer. Is it necessary to make a "transfer"?

  I'm doing an upgrade on my computer from vista to windows 7.

  Am a little confused about the need to "transfer" of data to an external source.

  What is a precautionary measure, used to retrieve the data if something terrible happens?

  Or is it that, after the upgrade to windows 7, the data is then "transferred", back on the computer newly improved?
