Can I install WXP Professional on my Satellite P100?

Hello
I have the Satellite P100 - PSPA3C-SD300E laptop and I need to install Win Xp Pro
The laptop came with Win XP home but I need to use a few programs (Microsoft Virtual PC) that require Win XP Pro
Does anyone know of any known issues of using XP Pro on this laptop? I am going to take a guess that there are no issues since it is only 3 months old but I wanted to check.
It would be great if anyone has any views as I intend to upgrade tomorrow
Thanks in advance

Hi
If you want to install WinXP Pro you have to install firstly the OS and then all the Toshiba drivers and utilities in the right order.
The Win XP Home and Pro uses the same drivers. The difference between Pro and Home is not very big. The Pro has more administration and configuration functions which you can control yourself. The Home version was designed for common Windows users.
Anyway, what you have to do is to install the drivers after the Os installation and you should follow the installation guide line which you can find on the Toshiba driver page.
Good luck

  • Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P

    Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P?
    ...thx for any info and/or help...

    Hello
    Just to clarify something:
    - if you want to install WXP but not changing BIOS settings (leave it to AHCI mode) at the beginning of installations procedure you must load SATA driver pressing F6. Thats only way to install WXP successfully
    - you can install WXP without SATA driver but you must change the settings to Compatibility. Everything will work well but if you change the settings to ACHI back you will get BSOD every time when you try to start WXP
    If you want to install SATA driver please install WXP using SATA driver before the WXP installation starts.

  • Can not instal Win7 WLAN Driver for Satellite C660-168

    I can't install WLAN driver on my Satellite C660-168 after Windows 7 installing.
    What's the problem?

    Hi Admiral,
    And why you cant install it? Do you get an error message or what happens exactly?
    As PauPau wrote you have Broadcom WLAN card so you have to download Broadcom WLAN driver that can be downloaded on Toshiba WLAN portal.
    Before installing the driver make sure you are logged in as Administrator or with Administrator rights. ;)

  • Can I install 64-bit OS on Satellite A200?

    Can I install a 64-bit OS on Satellite A200 equipped with a intel t2350 proccessor?

    Of course you can install the 64bit OS on the Toshiba notebooks but the question is if you will get the compatible 64bit drivers well, I think if you will install the 64bit OS you will have to run the notebook without the Toshiba tools and drivers because the 64bit drivers are not available on any of Toshiba pages
    In such case you will have to search on chip manufacture sites for compatible drivers!

  • Can I install Windows 7 on a Satellite C855-1WR?

    Can I install Windows 7 on this machine?
    If so, how do I do this, please?
    I have very little technical knowledge, so easy answers please.
    I would be eternally grateful for any help.
    Thank you so much
    Polly

    Of course you can do that.
    You can install Win 7 if you want.
    Firstly you have to go to BIOS (press F2 while booting)
    In BIOS disable secure boot and switch from UEFI mode to CSM mode.
    Save the changes and now you could boot from the Win 7 disk and could start the installation.
    But just one important note: read you user manual and create the recovery disk BEFORE installing anything on the notebook. The recovery disk help you to go back to Win 8 in cases you would like to use it again!

  • Can I install Intel graphic driver on Satellite M40X-119?

    Dear All, I have Satellite M40X-119 with Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family for the graphics card. I found an update on Intel web site for the driver, but it was written that "This is not to be used if the system has a third party graphics card", what does that means?
    Can I install the driver for my Toshiba Laptop or not.
    Thanx in Advance

    Hi Mahmood
    In my knowledge Toshiba recommend using only the Toshiba graphic drivers and if you want to use drivers from another manufacture so you can do it at your own risk.
    Some people have suggested that the Toshiba graphic drivers are a little bit modified because of the card overheating. You know, if the notebook cooling modules get a performance limit the graphic card driver decreases the card performance to reduce the temperature.
    I think the Intel original driver does not support such feature and therefore its advisable to use the Toshiba drivers.

  • Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D - 11S

    Hello,
    I have A300D - 11S and i have Windows vista home premium, can i instal windows xp sp2?

    Yes, of course you can install XP on this machine. Firstly go [HERE|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp] and download the drivers for your machine. The appropriate model number for your machine is "PSAK0E".
    After downloading all drivers you can install XP on it.

  • Can't install W10 on MX200 - Toshiba Satellite Pro R50-B-165

    I've recently purchased this disk but I can't see it in the W10 installer. The BIOS sees the disk. I can install W7 correctly, but I can't install neither W8/W8.1/W10. Both the laptop BIOS and the disk firmware are up to date. I've tried providing the IRST drivers at installation time with no luck at all.  Any idea?

    This is caused by windows 10 not including a controller driver for the storage controller your SSD is attached too. Something i noticed is that the windows 10 upgrade will pass preinstall checks if a device has a working driver on it, even if windows 10 has no qualifiable driver to support the device - Quite annoying considering the fact that it actually removes functioning drivers for a storage driver with a boot device in the event 10 has no compatible drivers for that device =_=  The F6 ahci driver needs to be signed and include a signed cat file which has been created with windows 10 support or the driver will fail to load.

  • Where can I find new display drivers for Satellite P100

    Hello,
    i need new display drivers for my Notebook (Satellite P100), but it's only Version 84.0 to download.
    I need version 162.0 or higher.
    On Nvidia Web-Site is the new 167.0 beta, but does it work with my system?

    The Toshiba graphic drivers on the Toshiba European driver page are not the same like the original graphic driver from the graphic card manufacturers.
    Therefore you cannot compare the driver version numbers!
    Generally the graphic driver which appears on the Toshiba page is the newest Toshiba driver.
    Best regards

  • How can I install windows XP on my Satellite A300-129

    Hello,
    Since a few days I have bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-129. I'm very satisfied with the laptop, though I don't like to work with Vista so i would prefer to reformate the laptop and install Windows XP Professional(32 or 64 bits, dunno yet).
    However I don't know if i have to do anything special for it, because this is my first notebook I've got and I only once had a laptop with drivers on a CD. Now i'm switching operating system i think i need some driver disc's for my webcam and stuff like that.
    I hope some1 can help me :)
    Thanks alot
    BTW I'm dutch, so sorry for my English.

    > And i've got a legit license of XP Pro, though i dont understand what u mean with the sata driver things. Do u mean i need to ADD the drivers on the current Disc with windows XP?
    The point is that your Windows XP CD does not contain the SATA drivers which are necessary to recognize the HDD during the XP setup procedure.
    So you will have to include the SATA driver pressing the F6 button while the XP setup is loading. For this procedure an external FDD drive is necessary.
    If you dont have a external USB FDD drive then you could create an Win XP CD and could include the SATA drivers using the free software called nLite.
    One note; Use the forums search function for searching on other threads about the nLite and how to create such CD. I remember there are many threads in the forum about this theme.
    Cheers

  • Can I install a graphics card on Satellite M70?

    I have got a Toshiba Satellite M70-394 (psm70e). I have seen that I have a pcie slot in my system through a hardware identifier program. Is it possible that I can install a graphics card through the back if I unscrew the back or get a professional to do it?

    Hi!
    > an express card slot.
    Do you know what an express card slot is?
    I think you are mixing something
    The express card slot is designed for express cards. Its similar to PCMCIA cards.
    You will not find a graphic card that is designed for the express card slot. For these slot you can buy USB extension cards for example.
    Check your user manual!!!
    There you will find more details about this slot.
    Bye

  • How can I install WXP on my U100?

    I am the happy owner of several 100CTs and 110CTs, and after being so disappointed by my UMPC Packard Bell XS-20, I decided to buy a few broken Libretto U100s. After many patient hours, I have now got a fully working Libretto. But......
    I have finally found a USB CDROM drive that will work with it.
    I have tried several operating systems, Ubuntu, Gos. Sorry I'm completely lost when it comes to Linux.
    Windows XP professional.
    Dos 6.22
    With the Linux options, I have tried booting from a live CD, and a memory stick. The operating system starts, but although recognizes the hard disk, I cannot copy anything onto it, although gos came very close by allowing me to install it and boot from the hard disk. But I was unable to do much else.
    Windows XP goes through the most of the setup, but stops after it has copied all the files reporting a STOP:7B fault which is something to do with a missing boot device.
    In desperation, I suspected some kind of hardware fault so I installed DOS 6.22 which works fine.
    Is there a special Windows XP installation which I need to use to get this working; and could anyone help me obtain the appropriate disks as I would love to get the U100 working.
    Many thanks and Hi from Rainy Bristol, UK
    Jon

    The reason why you get the 0007B-Error installing Windows XP is that the driver of your external CDROM is not known by Windows at this time.
    You can modify your Windows XP and include the driver but I suggest the following:
    1. Prepare your harddisk with two FAT32 partitions.
    2. Copy the I386 directory of your Windows XP CD to the second partition. May you have to boot Windows PE or BartPE to do so.
    3. Boot from a DOS floppy and start installation to the first partition. Run winnt.exe from the I386 directory on the second partition.
    You can convert the partitions later using convertntfs command.
    Good luck!

    Later on I could install Windows Xp successfully and everything is working fine....though I have to install Linux Os so when I tried; the hdd not recognizing to continue the installation.
