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.
Greetings

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.

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 Windows 8.1 Enterprise on my MacBook Pro?

Hi Armin.S,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are asking about the system requirements for running various versions of Windows under Bootcamp, or just more generally how to set up Bootcamp on your Mac, you may find the following articles/pages helpful:

How can i install windows games in my macbook pro

I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.

As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS.

How Can I install Windows on my iMac??

Hi There! I wanted to ask that how can i install windows 7 64-bit on my imac as i wanted to use some softwares and also, play some games that are not there on osx. Please tell my how to do this. I have a 2007 24-inch iMac with the following specs-
Intel Core2 Duo CPU@ 2.40GHz
4GB RAM (That i Upgraded Myself)
Radeon HD2600 Pro Graphics, 256MB
320GB HDD
OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion

Your Mid 2007 iMac has got a 64-bit processor that allows you to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, but Apple doesn't give you support for it in your iMac. Only Late 2009 and newer iMacs are supported by Apple to install a 64-bit version. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
My advice is to install a 32-bit Windows 7 version, although you will probably not be able to use all the RAM. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
If you still want to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, do it, but note that it won't work properly as there are no Apple drivers for it

How can I install windows XP in my Macbook using bootcamp?

I`ve just bought my mackbook Pro and I`m student of engineering. I`d like to install windows XP in my macbook to use some especifics softwares! But when I use bootcamp, Mac just gives me the option to install Windows 7? How can I install Windows XP? Thanks at all!

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

How can I install Windows 7 on Macbook Pro 17' (2009 model)?

I cannot Install, neither enter on the setup screen.
When I go to Bootcamp (3.0.1) and do everything then at the end when it says to done & restart my Macbook Pro 17' Inch (2009 model (MacbookPro 5,2)).
I get into a white screen (bootscreen) then it goes into a blackscreen. I am in the Setup screen because I hear my DVD reading when I press enter.
When I restart I get back to the Windows Setup but to enter back to Mac OS X I had to reset my PRAM and NVRAM.
Pease help ?

Let me get this - because the title misled me as to what you are asking, ie:
I cannot Install, neither enter on the setup screen.
When I go to Bootcamp (3.0.1) and do everything then at the end when it says to done & restart my Macbook Pro 17' Inch (2009 model (MacbookPro 5,2)).

When I restart I get back to the Windows Setup but to enter back to Mac OS X I had to reset my PRAM and NVRAM.
Does the above really tell the story?
The issue isn't "How can I install Windows" but more like "I am trying to get past " an issue with Boot Camp 4.01.
Some people that already had BC 4.x installed had trouble after March's "Patch Tuesday" which was a critical number of security patches and updates. They had to rollback, uninstall an update/driver, before they could move forward.
The trouble with "had to zap pram to get back to Mac OS" is more to do with the health of the partition table and nvram, and you could try using both Windows control panel to set the default OS, and set Startup Disk control panel in Mac OS (click OFF the volume name, then back to the volume, too).
Sometimes there are problems with 3rd party NTFS for OS X that people use as well.
Boot into Lion Recovery - that should be first step if there are problems with Mac, and you don't sound like you tried boot Windows DVD (which I asked above, which can fix errors).

How can I install Windows 7 through Boot camp?

I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I am running OSX Mavericks. How can I install Windows 7 from the install DVD? Thank you for the help in advance. Just as a side note, if I want to run GTA 4 on Windows 7 through Boot Camp, will it be faster than it is on Parallels? Thanks again.

Games work much better in Boot Camp. Note that a virtual machine does not use all the performance of your MacBook, so they may work worse than in Boot Camp.
Your Mac supports a 64-bit Windows 7 version, so open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities), tick the options to download the Windows support software and install Windows, and follow its steps. Apple has got all the steps you need to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
Remember to install the Windows support software after installing Windows

You can't. Only Windows 7 is supported in that configuration.

Can't install windows 7 pro on Satellite C75D-B7260 I have tried a clean install and have tried through windows 8 pro. Win 7 won't get past start screen. I have secure boot turned off in BIOS and there is no CMS or legacy setting. System bios version is 1.20 and ec version is 1.10 Toshiba service station does not find an update for the BIOS. and only 1.10 is listed on the product page. I found a 1.30(

You can install Windows 7 if you like. But I doubt you'll ever locate enough of the drivers and utilities to make that laptop work as designed. Toshiba certainly did not create them.
If you have no end of time to burn hunting for those and don't mind some features missing, here's how to install Windows 7. The disk now uses GPT partitioning, but you want the old MBR partitions. So use the installation package to remove all the existing partitions and create new ones (one is sufficient).

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.
