Blue screen when installing Win XP Pro on Satellite A100-211

Hi all.
I'm started to get really desperate here!! I've just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (since the notebook ships with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), i get a blue STOP screen just as the setup application reaches the "Setup is starting Windows" phase!! The STOP message states something about a file named "pci.sys".
I don't know what is wrong or how to install XP Pro!! It should be so simple! I even tried getting the SATA drivers from intel and load them at the windows XP Pro install setup (with F6) with a floppy, but I still get the same blue screen at the same stage of the setup!!
Can anybody PLEASE help me??? Can anyone explain how can I install Win XP Pro on this notebook???
Thanks very much in advance!! I'm really really freaking out with this
Octavio.

Hi
Did you get this error message?
"stop error 0x7E in Pci.sys"
I have found information on the Microsoft website that you need the latest Microsoft service pack.

Multiprocessor_configuration_not_supported Blue screen when installing Win 2008 on D10

Hello,
Finally, I got my new D10. Took about 1 1/2 month to ship.
(2) E5430 Quad Core CPU
24 GB memory
(2) 2 TB HD's
Was planning on installing Windows 2008 on this machine.
Go to boot of the DVD where the disc is located. I then get a blue screen with the error that
multiprocessor_configuration_not_supported
I've done some research and I've seen some posts saying upgrade the bios. I checked and my Bios it as the newest release.
In the mean time I've tried install Vista 64 & Windows 2003 64 and both installed with no issues ( got past all of the controller SATA / SAS Controller drivers)
So I'm stumped right now.
Thanks

did both of your E5430 processors come installed in the D10 from lenovo or did you source one or both of them on your own?
if so, boot into vista and check the processors using CPU-Z. make sure each have the same core stepping values . both should be C0 or E0 but not one of each. also make sure that you don't have an E5430 and an L5430 as this will cause problems, too.

No bootable device issue when installing Win 7 Pro 64 with OSX 10.8.3

Trying to install Win 7 Pro 64 on brand new iMac running 10.8.3.
Using external LaCie optical drive to read Win 7 OEM DVD installer.
Using Bootcamps Assistant, I can create the Windows partition but then when the iMac restarts to insatll Windows, I get a black screen with the message No Bootable device found.
Seems the iMac is not able to boot from the LaCie external drive.
Have tested the LaCie on both a mac and a PC and it works fine.
This iMac can see the drive and its contents in OSX but can't seem to boot to it to install Win 7.
How do I get a round this?
I have done dozens of dual boots using bootcamp but all with Macs that have built in optical drives. Have never had this much trouble.

I just got this working - finally!
My solution was to download the Win7 ISO file from microsoft and then use BootCamp Assistant to create a USB ISO. From there, I was able to boot to that "disk" and install Windows. I read a variety of posts some saying that you cannot use an external DVD drive, others saying that you could but it had to be an Apple SuperDrive. In any case, the ISO download worked and I would recommend that approach.

Blue Screen while Installing Win XP on T510

Hi
I am getting Blue Screen Error while Installing Windows XP Pro on ThinkPad T510 during setup. It comes after Win XP's disk has loaded all the drivers and files to start installation. It can load Win 7 and Run but not XP or Server 2003

Any help please? Thanks
Solved!

You needs this driver http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70477
when installing Windows XP you will see probmt to press F6 to add 3rd party driver using floppy disk... yes that right a floppy disk only option!.
or you can add driver to Windows XP cd using Nlite program. www.nliteos.com
maybe the easies option is to change AHCI option from bios that you have already did.
i havent seen any performance issues if XP uses compatibility mode.

Blue Screen When Installing Boot Camp Updates

For some unknown reason, whenever I put in the OS X install disc in order to use my internet, wireless mouse, etc. The Blue Screen of Death or what I believe that to be, pops up for an instant and then my computer immediately restarts. I've tried this 5 or 6 times and finally decided to make a post. Thanks in advance.

Everyone is having that issue. There seems to be a major bug with the bluetooth Boot Camp / wireless drivers where you get a blue screen of death whenever your computer has been idle for a while and then you start typing on the wireless keyboard.
Wish Apple would fix this problem - my computer crashes several times a day.

Trying to install win xp pro on Satellite A200-TH1 (PSAE3C)

Hello everyone,
I just bought this laptop. It came with vista. I want to install xp pro on it, I mean keeping vista as well. So I did partition, and allocated 72GB for xp pro. Now the problem is that, xp pro install cd does not recognize the harddrive. It says no harddrive present.
It is a SATA drive. So I did some googling on it, and found that xp pro does not have SATA drivers so that is why it can not see the hard drive. I need to install the SATA drivers with the xp pro by pressing F6...and blah blah. Since this laptop did not come with the floppy, so I found on some forums to include the drivers with xp pro cd and make an iso image and try to run it.
I tried many times but every time it gives me error that cable is broken. Can anyone pls let me know what is wrong? And also if someone can guide me to get the right drivers for my SATA drive and intel chipset 965PM...If I go on to the Intel website...
They are all .EXE files. I want driver files only, so i can insert them in the xp cd. Thanks for your help and guidence in adavance.

Hello All,
I was able to get the drivers...now I came accross another hurdle... When I put the XP installation cd (which is an ISO bootable disk.. this includes xp sp2 and realtek nic drivers) it gives me message that checking for media..RTL8100E/8101E v1.02....test failed...check if the cable is connected...
Any ideas? What should I do now? Any suggestion would be appreciated...thanks

PLS HELP ME ON THIS

Hi
Please ensure that the Intel Matrix Storage Manger was included into the Win XP setup.
During the installation of XP, setup will ask you to include the 3rd partly sata drivers.
Then you should press the F6 button und could include the Intel Matrix Storage Manager from the external USB FDD drive.

Cannot install Windows XP Pro on Satellite A100-411

Hi,
I´ve got a question. I own a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance which would me much better with Windows XP I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition but on the same harddisk.
The Problem is that it didnt work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD Drive, did a reboot and started from cd.
Than the first installation window of Windows Xp opened and checked my system, but when it was done and
wantet to start the main installation i got a bluescreen, where was standing that she System was shut down because of an error and that i should change my videocard or that i should turn of caching and shadowing in my Bios.
But my Videocard realy works and is ok and i can't find caching and shadowing in the bios, so i cant install windows xp.
So my question is wether there is a possibility to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.
Did I do something wrong or isnt it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on a A100-411
Sorry for my bad english and greetings from germany

Hey guys, this topic can be closed, ive fixed the problem on my own but thanks for your advice Jack Black.
I had 2 partitions before u told me to create them, that was not my problem, the problem was, that my windows xp cd was one of the older ones, so i created a new xp cd including service pack 2 and the installation went fine.
But than there was an other problem, the only OS which started was Win Xp because of the damaged bootloader of windows vista.
A friend told me that this problem can be fixed with VistaBootPro and that was a good advice of him.
Now everything is fine and i hope that my games wont crash anymore and i also hope that there will be not so much bluescreens as under windows vista.
Have a nice weekend to everyone *g*

Blue Screen when connecting to internet

I have this problem: blue screen appear in Win XP randomly when i try to connect to internet using a Genius modem. The error notification is this:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LES_OR_EQUAL
Tehnical information:
***STOP: 0x000000D1 (0X00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Beginning dump of phisical memory....."
First i suspected a memory issue, so i tested it with Memtest 86 but didn't find any errors. I run 3DMark 2001 several times with no errors, 3D games runs also without problems. I put the modem in 3rd PCI slot, the 4th is occupied by the network adapter and the 5th slot by the SB Audigy (with the newest drivers installed from Creative web site). There is an IRQ sharing between the network adapter and an USB host controller used for a Logitech Steering Wheel. CPU temp never exceed 50C, Dinamic Overclock is disabled and Performance is set to slow.BIOS is 1.3. Since i have this motherboard, (six days) i have this very annoyng problem 1 of 4 times i connect to the internet.
Please, if you do have any suggestions i need some help.

I researched this a bit, with my very similar error.
I can tell you this much with certainty--that blue screen is a driver problem. Maybe in your case Norton FW is bringing it out, but it is probably a conexant chipset in your modem, and you are getting the same end result as me.
They haven't released, at least that I can find, a driver for this modem chip set that correctly handles irq sharing. Conexant is what's inside of a suprising number of modems, and the software (base driver from them to the modem OEM) is old.
Pretty sure Danny's on the right track with hyperthreading being the problem. The other possibility is the whole complicated HAL/APIC deal. Toss in some other HAL acronyms.
But hyperthreading is a more recent development, so I will give it a shot, soon. Don't feel like crashing at the moment. But if that is the answer, I'm not going to turn off HT. Nope, the modem will be stuck with the generic 56k MS driver, which works ok, sorta, just doesn't report speeds right, or do compression and error handling right. Or 56K for that matter. OK, it's a bonejob, but I need HT more than a dial-up.
Unless somebody has some ideas.
One day I will take out my collection of really crappy modems and shoot them. Do a web page. I now have 5.
Don't buy Bestdata. 2 year old driver and they want money to talk to tech support. Brand new. Says XP PRO on the box.

I5 17''MBP gets blue screen during install windows 7 32 bit

Hello all:
I heard that quite many people get classic windows' "blue screen" during using windows , whatever Windows XP, Vista or 7. But now i face the "blue screen" during install Windows 7, which means I even can not complete installation.
I bought my Macbook Pro i5 17'' one month ago, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I face the problem during the installation. After finishing first 4 steps the computer would restart and start to "finish installation", but at this time it gets "blue screen" and shows "error: 0x0000009c" and stuck there. I have to shut down the turn off button and interrupt the installation.
I don't know if there's any one else face this unlucky situation. I searched on the net and it says the problem could be from memory, graphic card (too new), or even overlocking the cpu,whatever it must be the problem of hardware. I thought it might be the problem of compatible.
If anyone knows how to deal with this problem??!! I do need to use some software under Windows system!

It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.

Windows Blue Screen - when trying to re-sync an IPOD after doing 5 R's

My windows based Itunes failed to recognize my ipod, so I trouble shooted and finally ended up doing the 5 R's.
This resulted in a "Blank Ipod" (after restore).
I was able to successfully get Itunes to recognize my ipod after the restore. That is when a "major problem" occurred.
When my 37 gigs of MP3s on my PC attempt to automatically update onto my "blank ipod", my system crashes giving me the dreaded windows BLUE SCREEN! The error messgae indicates that a physical memory dump occurred and the system shuts down.
I figure it has something to do with all of those gigs trying to update onto the ipod. SO, I start to manually transfer (drag and drop) about 100 mp3s at a time onto the ipod within itunes. It still crashed after the 3rd batch of 100 mp3s.
Has anyone experienced this? Does it have anything to do with Mirosoft's newest IE vunerability? I use Firefox usually, but sometimes HAVE to use IE. What can I do?
This really *****.
thanks for your help.

hi zeppy!
hmmmmmm. a 0x7E? that's not the most commonly reported BSOD code here.
but the MS KB seemed to have at least one clue for us.
(1) sometimes people can get blue screens when they plug in an ipod if their FireWire, USB, or dock has gone bad. i see from that STOP message resource that the 0x7E can be associated with dodgy USB.
by way of tracking down that possibility, do you still get the BSOD if you connect to a different port? (or, if you've got a dock, connect directly to a port instead?)
(2) on general principles, we'd better check for malware. download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer online scans, run those as well. (they can sometimes pick up an infection in cases where the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
(3) especially if you've recently installed any new hardware on your PC, head into Device Manager to check to see if there's any alert/warning messages showing up next to any of your devices. if you see any, what do they say?
(4) let's also let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence for the Apple engineers to analyze.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
And then send it to a Discussions Host. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.
love, b
