How can I install Win XP on Satellite U300-150 PSU30e

How can i install win xp on U300-150 / Model : PSU30e
I try to boot from CD Win XP SP2 but cannot not detect any HDD.
How can i do it ?
There is no option on bios for SATA support or IDE
please help me

Hey buddy
You will not find any SATA or IDE settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver which is necessary to install the XP on this notebook.
The key is Intel Matrix Storage Manger!
The Storage Manager has to be included into the Windows XP OS during the setup procedure using the button F6.
At the other hand you could include the Storage Manger using the free application called nLite.
Search a little bit in this forum. There are enough threads and postings regarding this theme.

  • How do I install Win 8 on Satellite C850 following HDD failure?

    I have a PC repair business, and a customer has brought me a Satellite C850-1KN laptop which has had a catastrophic hard drive failure (just clicking sound coming from the drive.)
    I replaced the hard drive and tried booting from a Windows 8 DVD, by changing the boot order in the bios, however, it still gives a "no bootable device" error message.
    I see no way of turning off UEFI boot, it is grayed out in the bios setup.
    How can i reinstall Windows on this laptop?

    First of all you should know that the setting (CSM/UEFI mode) needs to be changed only if you want to install non-UEFI capable system (Win 7 and older).
    Win 8 and Win 8.1 are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the UEFI mode option.
    How about the secure boot option?
    Did you find it and did you try to disable this option?

  • How can i install Windows XP on Satellite L40-17R?

    I was trying to install windows XP on my new L40-17R.
    I get a msg says that i dont have a HDD.
    I enter the BOIS so i can find a setting for SATA HDD to disable it like i do in my old ASUS.
    But i didn't find anything related for the HDD in the BIOS.
    So any body plz can help me how can i do to instal windows XP?
    I will be thankfull

    You dont need to disable anything in the BIOS. Just simply install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and the OS will recognize the HDD.
    Either you will install the SATA driver (storage manager) from the external USB floppy drive or you will use the software nLite to build an own XP CD and to include the SATA driver into the new XP.

  • Re: How can I Install Windows Xp in Satellite A200 1M7 PSAE3E?

    Hi,
    I am having a Toshiba Laptop Satellite A200 1m7 PSAE3E, while I am trying to Install windows XP on the laptop, its showing no hard disk installed. Can I get the *Raid* for the laptop? so that I can customize windows XP and detect the hard disk to Install it.
    Thanks in Advance.

    > while I am trying to Install windows XP on the laptop, its showing no hard disk installed
    You have to install the SATA drivers!
    The notebook supports the SATA controller and the drivers are not a part of the Windows OS!
    The SATA drivers are in the Intel Storage Manager!!
    Read some threads here regarding this theme to get more details!! There are a lot of threads!
    > Can I get the Raid for the laptop?
    No because the notebook does not support RAID controller.

  • How can I install Win XP instead of Win 7 on mac?

    I bought a MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel i5 (Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard) and found out the Boot Camp requires windows 7.
    I don't have windows 7 but windows XP (SP3). I have already finished the partition by bootcamp and succeed in windows XP installation, but when I put the Mac OS X install DVD to finish the installation, it showed the sentence that windows 7 is required.
    Is there any way that I don't need to buy a win 7?  Thanks

    Apple has abandoned BootCamp support for XP and Vista with their 2011-released models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4410
    It might be possible to get the basic drivers from the various hardware manufacturers (like Intel, ATI/AMD, Broadcom, Realtek, etc.) but any Apple-specifc hardware component won't work.
    You might be better of getting/using Windows 7

  • How can I install windows XP or win 7 32 bit in MacBook Air 2013

    Hi,
    I want to install windows xp or windows 7 32 bit on new MacBook Air 2013 with bootcamp 4.
    Apple says MacBook Air 2013 mid 2013... Comes with bootcamp 5.
    And bootcamp 5 support only 64 bit windows....apple says.
    I want to install win xp or win7.32 bit with bootcamp4.
    Can we downgrade the bootcamp by uninstalling or something...?
    Or how can I install  32 bit windows on new MacBook Air 2013.
    Thanks I advance.
    Please guide.

    Bootcamp 4 which ships with Lion doesn't support XP or Vista, only 7.  Try using Parallels or VMWare instead.

  • How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

    I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location.  How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\?  I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data.  I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\.  Any suggestions?
    Sincerely,
                    LT Gannon

    having data on a different drive is a good idea.  installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea.  but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:

  • Can't install win 7 using boot camp in Lion

    Hi !
    help please!!
    i can't install win 7 (any version)  on my MBP 13", i'm running Lion and that's when it all started!
    had no problem  on SL using boot camp and win 7 but now my win 7 installation just stops on last
    install step screen and that screen is there forever...
    did my steps like i've always did it using snow leopard and now it just won't work...

    Are you trying to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7? I get exactly the same problem. I'm going to try the 32bit version and see how I get on. I don't think 64 bit is supported just yet.

  • How can i download win 8 64x driver for mac early 2011

    hi my friends
    how can i download win 8 64x driver for mac early 2011

    How did you download it? Did you download it from withing Boot Camp Assistant and save it in accordance with the instructions? How did you try to install it? You install the Windows Support software from within Windows. Did you read and follow the Boot Camp installation guide and help files?

  • How do i Install Win 7 to an External HD

    I have iMac 27" 3ghz Intel core 2 duo and love it! I am also a gamer and despise the fact that gaming studios don't make enough games for Macs. So I've tried using Win XP on my mac via boot-camp by dual booting but was not satisfied and didn't like having windows software directly on my apple machine. I don't want to give up gaming entirely on computers so........
    I would like to install Win 7 to my External HD (LACIE Rugged ALL-Terrain 250GB 5400 RPM 2.5" USB 2.0 / IEEE 1394a / 1394b External Hard Drive), but i have heard that Win 7 is a little tricky when trying to install it on a machine with multiple HD's using different Operating Systems. Im not quite sure what all the issues are, but if you know how to properly install Win 7 on to an external HD so i can dual boot from that HD to play windows based games than please help! =)

    I've not tried it myself, but I've read that if you use a third-party EFI tool like "rEFIt" and you are willing to make a custom install disc (DVD), it is possible. Just do a little Google searching and you should find the same links I found that talk about doing this.
    Another thing I have not tried, but should theoretically work would be to use a "boot from VHD" configuration, where you put the VHD on an external drive. I don't remember where I read about booting Windows 7 from a VHD, but I suspect it was on MSDN.

  • How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.
    http://www.parallels.com/
    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

    3. Use Wine /  Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

  • My Elements and Premier DVDs are corrupted physically. How can I install them via online instead?

    I bought Photoshop Elements and Premeire Elements 10 sometime ago and forgotten about it. The box was sealed but the DVDs had streaks for white stuff and thus the drive is unaable to read. How can I install it via online? Please lead me to the link that I can key in the serial numbers as I am unable to find in this website. Thank you. As they have never been installed, the serial number is not in the my Adobe ID account yet. Hence I wish I can freshly install them via online. Thank you.
