How to instal Win 7 on Satellite P300?

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P300. When I bought it I had on it Vista family premium. Now I wanted to install Win 7.
I have the DVD of Win 7 professional but when I want to boot from the win 7 DVD it wouldnt accept and the pc boot always from the hard disk even when I changed it on the BIOS like it doesnt recognise it. I tried with other Win 7 DVD to format the hard disk and install the win 7 like the normal procedure but Toshiba doesnt recognise any Win 7 DVD, it recognise only its original system DVD (the hddrecovery files which combines the win vista and all Toshiba laptop drivers as u know).
So how to do to format the pc and install Win 7 (if u run the setup of win 7 from the computer I can install Win 7 but I cant format the pc and I keep always the old files and I dont like) so please help me if you have a solution for that thank you!!

yes i have the original microsoft win 7 dvd,but when i choose from bios to boot from the dvd to start format the hard disk and then instal win 7 like the ordinary procedure the system doesnt recognise any win 7 dvd ( i tried with other dvd ) and start directly from the hard disk,but for example if i try with a win xp dvd ,then it work and the system recognise the dvd and boot from it ans start formating etc..it happens only with win 7 dvd ,so what to do?

I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

Re: How to install Win XP display driver for Satellite 1800-750

How to install the video driver in my pc? Not includes .exe archive.<br /><br />The driver is Display Driver Trident Windows XP 4.12.01.2307
+Message was edited: link removed - too long+

MasterG is right. Download display driver and save all files in some folder created on the desktop.
In device manager open properties for graphic card and click on driver tab. There you will find option for driver update or driver installation.
In next step just browse into folder with saved download files and continue with next. Driver will be installed properly.

Can't install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HDD

Hello,
My HDD has died, so i decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660-1D9 to an SSD.
I made a bootable USB with Win8, and booted just fine.
The problem is that it does not detect my SSD so i can proceed with the install.
SSD shows up in BIOS, but not in Windows install.
It says there's a driver missing.
I downloaded AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even then, after selecting the only driver that appears, it says no new devices found.
I tried changing SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility mode and it's the same..
What can i do?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Bruno Moreira

Older Windows XP required an AHCI driver from Intel but I think this isnt a missing SATA driver issue because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers in order to recognize the HDD or SSD drive.
Furthermore the OS installation should be possible even if the driver would not be added... for this procedure you have to use the "compatibility mode".
As you said, the compatibility mode did not work too, so I think there is another problem.
However, Toshiba driver page provides also an Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) driver (Windows 8 - Upgrade) which you could try to add while OS installation.
But Im wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
Did you try to format the SSD drive using another computer and then to install Win 8?
Try it out.

How to install Win XP on Equium P200

Hi guys,
I found a very usefull tutorial how to install windows xp onto Equium P200 laptop.
Problem is that when I have done everything whats in that tutorial (used nlite, made xp install cd with sata drivers) Win Xp is showing error.
When u boot from cd, and all the drivers are loaded it will show me a blue screen saying that the installation was stopped to prevent damage to my pc, and its saying that the error is in file pci.sys ...
Any ides what it could be?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Im not 100% sure why this error appears but Ive got one idea.
Possibly the installed Intel Matrix Storage Manger doesnt support the right chipset.
Ive tow different Intel Matrix Storage Manger versions and both versions support different chipsets.
Fact is that different Equium P200 series exist which needs different drivers.
I think you should visit the Toshiba European driver page and should choose the right notebook series! Please compare the series number which can be found at the bottom of the unit!!!
Then try the installation again!

How to install WXP on Satellite P500?

High @ all,
I have an P500 F1J with Win7 pre-installed. The Point is, that I still have a lot of elderly hardware wich i still want to use. Eg my printer. but when ever I want to use it my Notebook crashes with a bluescreen.
So i decided to install Win XP and want to format the system. But when I even try to start the sytem with the original XP-CD it runs always into a bluescreen without the chance to select anything or event type something in.
Does anybody has an idea how can I delete the win7-installation and install my stable XP?
Thanks for your help in advance

> oh my goodness, is there really no driver for this modell in XP available?
No , because it supports Windows 7 only.
Why do you need this old OS? Windows 7 is also very fast and the future.
Furthermore there is a compatible mode for applications they require Windows XP. In my opinion there is no reason for still using Windows XP.

How to Install Win Vista -English Version on my Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ

Hello !
I am an Indian, I purchased *"Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ"* in France. I don't know French Language. I am an software guy.
One my family friend purchased it in on-line in 2009. It is good configuration but Bad-luck for me is, it contains *French keyboard and French Windows Vista*.
Anybody know how to solve this problem?
I am facing lot of problems while while writing software code by using this Frech keyboard because we use English- Qwerty keyboard.
*And Is it possible to install Toshiba's Windows-Vista -English version on it.*
I installed generic Win-Vista home edition on it , it is working but there is lot drivers missing, So I am not able to use my Laptop at minimum.
*Could you give me some information/suggestion to solve my problem.*
Thank you,
Regards,

It's not a problem to dowload all drivers needed either from Toshiba support sites or other good places.
You need at least Chipset+Audio+Video+Network+Wireless drivers and (maybe) some additional like Touchpad, Quick buttons, Bluetooth, Web camera.
In rare cases you can google drivers for unknown device (or just recognise it) through vendor/product IDs in device manager (VID_xxxx&PID_yyyy string in device properties).
Problem with keyboard is simple (in most cases): buy keyboard stickers like this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=english+Keyboard+STICKERS
It's not perfect solution but very cheap'n'fast.
Alternative solutions are laser engraved letters on your keyboard or new english keyboard from Toshiba service (I can't even imagine its price).
Guess you can't install *Toshiba's* Vista other than bundled with your laptop. But you can buy any boxed version of Windows meets your requirements, even Windows 7. There is no difference between *Toshiba's* and boxed version of Windows exept license limits, so I advise you to think about boxed Win7.

Satellite A500-17X: How to install Win XP mode for Win 7 64bit

I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 17X Laptop recently.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I have since upgraded to Professional. I am trying to download and install the XP Mode from the Microsot website.
I have quit a few bits of software mostly Astronomy which worked in XP but will not install on Windows 7.
From the Microsoft web site i selected Professional 64bit from the drop down list.
When i tried installing the file a message popped up saying: +This is not a valid Win32 file+
So i downloaded the Professional 32bit file.
When i tried to install this the same message popped up. According to the videos on the Microsoft web site this should be easy.
Anyone know what i am doing wrong.
Thank You.

I too recently bought a Toshiba A500 17X laptop. Like you I also need to run some legacy XP programs that do not run under Win 7.
So, I found out that I must upgrade from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Professional. But .... before parting with 100 quid or so I thought I would investigate a little.
At the Microsoft web site:-
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
It explains what steps to take.
At Step 2 you can run a tool to determine if 'your PC hardware works with Windows XP Mode...' This hyperlink takes you to the Microsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Tool where you can download a guide and the tool to see if the PC is up to it.
I did this and it seems the hardware is NOT up to the task, nor as far as I can determine is there a switch in the BIOS to allow this.
Don't think it matters whether Win 7 is 32-bit or 64-bit.
This is really not good enough for a laptop that cost £700. ............or am I wrong?

Satellite L300D - How to install Win 7 drivers?

Hi, As you can see I'm new to all this.
I have a Satellite L300D laptop with Vista Home Premium SP2.
I want to update to Windows 7 Professional.
I am told that I have to do a clean update which will wipe my hard disk first.
After I have installed Windows 7, how to I get all my drivers back installed please?
I have posted here because I din't know where to start.
Thanks.

Hi newtoallthis,
Before you start with Windows 7 installation, download all drivers from official Toshiba website and check if all drivers available. I dont know what notebook you have exactly and if you install Windows 7 32bit or 64bit but you can check this yourself:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
If you have found all drivers you can start with Windows 7 installation. After this install all drivers. Usually the installation order is not so important but a friend of installed Winodws 7 on L300 (little bit other model) and used this installation order:
-Windows 7
-Chipset driver
-Display driver
-Sound driver
-LAN driver
-WLAN driver
-Modem driver
-Value Added Package
-Flash Cards Support Utility
Depending on your model the order and amount of drivers is a little bit different. ;)

Re: How to install Win XP on a Satellite A300-15D

Can anyone help me with the procedures on how to permanently delete Vista Home Premium and replace it with Windows XP Professional?
Once WinXP Pro is installed, will the drivers for my laptop Satellite A300-15D still work because of the new operating system?

Hi
If you want to replace the Vista with your Windows XP OS then just simply boot from the Windows XP CD and follow the installation instruction on the screen.
After the XP OS installation you will have to visit the Toshiba European driver page and will need to download the compatible XP drivers!
(maybe you could do this before formatting the HDD and Vista)
Your notebook seems to belong to the *PSAJ4E* series.
Please choose this number before you would start the driver download.
By the way; The notebook support the SATA controller therefore you will need to include the SATA driver during the XP setup procedure.
The Storage Manager which is available on the Toshiba driver page contains such SATA driver.
If you dont know how to include such SATA driver please use the forum search option for searching.
There are a lot of similar threads regarding the SATA driver installation.
Bye
