Windows XP installation is not possible on my Satellite L40

I had a Toshiba Satellite L40 32 computer with vista preinstalled premium pieces. Once I managed to install XP in dual boot vista/xp thanks to vistabootpro. But my computer has been infected by a virus and because I couldn't clear it, I formatted my XP partition.

I tried to reinstall windows XP, but in computer installation warmed me that there was a file that could not be installed and I choose to click 'ignore' and my computer started automatically on my vista operating system. I checked if it was not because my CD is not bootable, by nothing, because I use it on another computer to install vista.

I would like to know what is happening?

For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need the Intel Storage Manager. Without this disk manager HARD won't be visible for the installation of Windows XP Home edition.
About installing Windows XP Home on Satellite L40 edition you will find so many threads. Use the option search on this forum and you will find a lot of discussions with explanation how to install WXP on L40.

Good luck!

  • Windows 7 Installation DVD not recognized.

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a new PC - no previous operating system. Hard drive is a Western Digital WD800 IDE. CD/DVD is a Sony CRX230ED. The CD/DVD recognizes CDs very well. But I put the Windows 7 DVD in there and it is not recognized.

    CRX230ED's rider to master. BIOS has CRX230ED at the first position in the boot order.

    Tried to start at Bart PE. that works because it loads a CD and not DVD. But I can't start Windows 7 installation because she needs to start in a Windows environment.

    Going nuts.

    This CD player is. You need a combination player that can play CDs and DVDs. If it is a new computer that someone built for you, take because they rip you off. Nobody in his right mind would put a plain CD - RW disc in a computer today. If you compiled yourself computer parts you hang out, pull the reader and the pitch. Replace it with a CD/DVD-RW drive instead. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Still CS3 is old, I use it often. If there are problems on html, I can resolve it manually. How can I install my old CS3 good again?

    After that I completely deleted all the registry entries manually, the installation of CS3 could be made. His works now.

    Before I used the Adobe cleaning tool, but it is not enough, several registry entries remained, the installation CD was not possible.

  • Cannot start XP installation on Vista Home Premium preinstalled Satellite L40-139

    Here's the problem:

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L40-139 in Austria and comes preinstalled Vista. OK, Vista is in German, and I don't know German. But I made a choice to learn German and to start using a Vista. After a month Vista drives me crazy (no language, just for Vista) and I want to just install XP. I didn't need something more.
    I spent more then five days trying to archive this, but without success and I am disappointed, much.

    I put aside all types of teaching and I did a lot of things, but none of them helped me.
    So the problem is like this:
    I made the partition for XP, so I have two partitions as: Vista (C), (D) XP and Datas (G) and my CD/DVD (E :).
    I activated just boot from the CD/DVD, but when I insert the CD and start the installation of Vista it tells me something like this:
    Press any key to boot from CD...
    When I do that, I get a message, which is very fast where it says something like that, (I'm not quiet sure what it says because it's fast):
    Checking your configuration...
    After that, nothing happens, don't know why, I just get black monitor and CD/DVD does not work anymore?

    It's driving crazy me and I can't install XP.
    It seems that does not recognize the CD/DVD, and I tried with several XP bootable CD/s and they work on my desk.

    Can someone help, please, because I'm going crazy?

    If you have installed XP on this notebook L40 Vista you need a BIOS update to the XP version. All that s

    Because I'm not on the computer, I am referring to I should be as concise and precise as possible here. The system is Windows Vista service pack 2.

    I'm trying to re format the computer of a friend. Something I've done often in the past. I did two recovery disks when the computer was new, but cannot do recognize the cd/dvd or any other, internal or external drive that I tried. error code 39 is cited in all cases.

    In addition, he said there are three updates to install when I boot on the system to start before these updates are installed only. In fact the windows installer has stopped working. I went into Device Manager and not only it shows conflicts for hard drives, but for multiple NICs also: twelve 6-4 adapters and five ISATAP adapters also Microsoft. I've uninstalled and restarted for all adapters reinstall with the same conflicts. In addition the machine will not be closed correctly in normal mode and I get a blue screen with a message of memory dump. I'm afraid to format the c drive, until I have a way to reinstall the system via a disk drive. Can someone help me please?

    I tried it in safe mode and it stops at least normally but as soon as I restart with networking all the problems are back.

  • Toshiba LX830 incompatible with Windows 10 - only streaming not possible

    I have "upgraded" to Windows 10 8.1 recently and have lost the ability to send mp3 and mp4, files stored on the computer for my smart TV.

    All attempts to cause an error on the PC and smart TV.

    Microsoft say it is because Toshiba do not have widows 10 drivers compatible for the series of LX830 even if it is only 2.5 years old and came with already installed 8.1.

    A check on the Web from Toshiba site shows that the LX830 does not appear on lists of machines planned for windows version 10 compatible drivers.

    Does anyone know if additional releases of drivers will follow beyond those available to date?

    The site Web of Toshiba said simply that if your model is not on the list, it is not compatible with windows 10 - which is a bit hard for a relatively new machine.

    As far as I know that pilots Win 10 won't come out for units that are not part of the list.
    But how did you send your mp3 / mp4 files on your smart TV?
    What link did you use?

    My machine locked upward and when restarted, that asked me to make a selection among several options. Safe mode, safe mode network, prompt mode without failure, recent well known parameters and then just windows. It starts windows in these modes. Any help would be appreciated.

    Brad

    What to say Brad. It seems the full Windows XP operating system has crashed!
    Believe me, something like what is happening simply and I think that it s nothing unusual to anyone who use and works with Windows OS for a long time.

    You should definitely try to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD.
    But this procedure will format your HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive.

    But this is only one possibility to get Windows running on this laptop.
