Windows XP on the new Satellite A100 with VIsta

I read section to http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=23253 and it does not solve my problem:

I was planning to install XP on the second partition (labeled default BU ' Data') but when I boot my XP cd it works for a while, copy the files in memory and then suddenly - without warning - I get a blue screen telling me that the windows installation was closed because of an error.

I use the same disc on another machine recently and have no reason to believe that it doesn't work right.

The only theory so far is that the cd XP without SP1 (OLD! I know) and maybe something will hurt because of missing drivers or something? Or I have some sort of setting in the BIOS (other than the boot sequence, first cd) which must be adapted?

Hope someone can give me a clue on this subject.

Hello

I did some experiments with laptops A100 and A200. I used the facilities Microsoft Windows XP SP2 home edition CD and it works well. I was able to install Windows XP Home edition on both machines.

Try with the other and newest facilities WXP CD.

  • Can not install device driver USB IRDA Kingsun on Satellite A100 with Vista OS

    I have a USB IRDA Kingsun device that worked well on a desktop with XP but my Satellite A100 with Vista defies installing the drivers that came on a CD with the IRDA.

    How can I install or does anyone know one that works with Vista?

    Hello

    If you are not able to install the 3rd party device IRDA driver on Vista, it seems that the disc is not compatible and don t support Vista.
    Seems you have to contact the manufacture of the IRDA device and ask the compatible reader

    But maybe that you're unlucky and the Vista driver does not exist?  :|

  • Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

    I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

    While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

    So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

    TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

    Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

  • Satellite A100 with Vista: Canoe connect to wireless home network

    I am owner of computer laptop satellite A100 and on the Microsoft Vista operating system.
    I have a problem to connect to my home wireless network.
    When I try to connect to my wireless connection, Vista reports that it can not be connected for an unknown reason.

    I use the D-Link Access Point and I connected with my HP lap top very well.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Believe me it's not easy to say why you are not able to connect to the WLan.
    I think that all options must be checked by steps.

    First of all I recommend you disable encryption of WLan. Also, turn off the firewall on the laptop settings.
    If the laptop connects successfully to the WLan you can turn everything back.

    I also found this Toshiba document on the activation of a connection to a WLAN network that is not broadcasting the SSID in Windows Vista

  • Windows 7 does not start on the new Satellite C660-195

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C660-195 with Windows 7 pre-installed.

    This morning I turned on it and it came with a black box with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe in it. This box then disappeared and Startup Repair kicked. He then told me that Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. The notice were to remove any device that had recently been attached to the laptop (such as a webcam or music device) but I did not install a hardware or devices. I clicked finish and stop you the laptop.

    I lit it again and it's the same thing (new!)

    A forum would suggest trying the following: click on the link 'Show advanced options of the system and support recovery' who asked me to choose the configuration of my keyboard, but then when I do & click then it tells me "you must register to access system recovery options" I am never given the option connect!

    When using the F8 advanced boot options I'm still not able to solve this problem. The same thing (see above) that happens when I try to start in all security modes, last good known Configuration (Advanced), debug mode, start Windows normally etc. I don't understand it.

    Looking for other forums, they suggested dΘplaτant zero while running and then one selects Windows 7 to restore the laptop to its factory settings, but the same thing happens - it shows just the black screen with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe launched then startup repair, that does not solve the problem.

    I don't have a disc of windows 7 to restore since I only bought the laptop 6 days ago and didn't have time to do a still. In addition, the laptop must have the restoration on his hard drive, but I can't access it to restore windows.

    I'm just a home user understand all technical talk. Please can someone help me?

    Hello

    Sorry to hear you I have this problem. The fact is that the new laptops come with only HARD drive recovery image and not with recovery DVDs. What you can try now is to install the recovery image using HARD drive recovery facility.
    If this works you need out of the box again.

    Please do it following the instructions in this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Hard disk failed to keep windows 7 for the new hard drive or SSD

    Hi, windows told me recently there is a problem with my hard drive and that I would back up my data to an external storage device, in case it fails, but don't want to backup my files because they aren't important. When I tried to access file Explorer the next day I got the warning my computer froze. I'm not him have not restarted the laptop since then in fear that it could make it more worn, since I may still need it.

    I try to order a new hard drive or SSD and won't buy windows 10 because it's expensive. Instead, I want to keep my current operating system, which is windows 7 Home premium, which is preinstalled on my laptop.  I have no recovery disks and I didn't do all the backups at all, but here is a windows 7 product key stuck on the back of the laptop.

    I was wondering if I can use the product key to install windows 7 on the new HDD/SSD and if yes, how, I would go to this topic. Also, if I can't do the wrench is it another way (because I may be able to use it yet), because I don't want to have to buy any other OS.

    Specifications:

    Laptop: TOSHIBA Satellite A660

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

    (Let me know if you need more details)

    Thanks for any help.

    If you are still able to boot from the Windows 7 Desktop on the current hard drive, try to create a set of recovery disks. See the instructions in the following article:

    https://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/Toshiba-Recovery-disk/#Create_disc_for_Windows_7

    After you create the defined recovery disc, close, install the new SSD, then use the updated recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7 on new disk SSD.

    You will need 4 blank DVDs.

    What you can try is to reinstall extra package from Toshiba. This package contains several tools and one of them is utility of flash cards.
