Portege R600 - How do I install XP on a new HDD?

I did the mechanical install of a new hard drive, and know it's correct.
Now, I want to install XP - not Vista. However, nothing I have tried will enable the BIOS to recognize that new drive. Toshiba XP "alternative media" disk should include the SATA drivers, but it doesn't work.
What did I miss?

The new HDD is SATA, similar to the original 160 but larger.
I don't know how to check whether it's visible in the BIOS -- ??
I installed the drive, then tried to use the Toshiba alternative OS disk - XP. It didn't see the HDD. So, I tried a new XP install disk, which also didn't see the HDD.
It seems to me that the Toshiba alternative OS disk - XP - should have the SATA drivers on it. No?

    Kerrse,
    ...and it's content?
    While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
    However, worth giving a try.....

  • How do I install DW on my new computer when my account tells me  "You have no downloads" ?

    Are you a creative cloud subscriber?
    Grab the Creative Cloud Desktop App first, then download it from within the program...
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    If you have an older, perpetual license version of DW6 you can download it from here: Download and Installation Help | Download and Installation Help toward the bottom, then use your activation/serial from your previous installation.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

    The same way you would have on an older computer. You run the install program from the CD or the download you saved. You will need the S/N to complete the install. If you are no longer going to use the old computer, be sure to deactivate Acrobat on that machine.

    How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I  hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?

  • I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

    I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

    That's easy.
    2 methods:
    1. Change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, then restart:
    2. Hold down the "Option" key while starting or restarting the Mac. Then chosse the partition that you want to startup from.
    The 1st mehtod is the quickest, because you don't have the additional step of choosing the drive. Plus, whatever you have selected in System Preferences becomes the default startup drive.
