Installing Windows XP on Satellite P200D-106

Hello!
some application I do use dont support windows vista so I made the decision to install xp and then I understand that I dont have drivers for xp.
Is it any way to get it ?

Hi there,
unfortunately there are no official drivers from toshiba, so you have no luck. You can do now the following things:
1. Search in this forum for users which have the same problem, maybe some of them already picked the drivers from the manufacturers of the hardware (AMD, ATI, etc..)
2. You can dig on your own in the WWW for drivers
3. You can wait till toshiba releases some official drivers
Otherwise I have no more options which I could offer you. I had the same issue with my Satellite A100 some months ago but they released drivers for my machine and now everything works like a charm. :)

  • Where can I get drivers for Satellite P200D-106?

    Dear Gentlemen,
    Almost 2 years ago I've buyed a Toshiba Satellite P200D-106 (AMD Turion 64 X2 - TL-52) with Windows Vista preinstalled. I was not very happy that you didn't provide XP drivers for this product, but now I'm very surprised to find out that I can't even find the drivers for Vista. _As a matter of fact, this model (P200D-106) is not found inside your website, not even my serial number. More, your software also don't recognize my laptop._
    Please contact me and tell me where can I find these drivers since I lost all my installation CDs. It will be very good if you can provide me drivers for Windows 7, also.
    Please note that I'm extremelly unsatisfied about your non-existing online support for my model, since the laptop is not older than 2 years and I've payed for it almost 1.000 EUR.
    Model name: Satellite P200D-106
    Model no.: PSPBLE-00200QG3
    Serial no: 97365091K

    Hi buddy,
    To be honest I cant agree with you. I have even checked the Toshiba website for drivers and tools on Satellite P200D and this was successful. The page shows drivers for Vista 32/64bit and also some for Windows 7 32/64bit. I think you should check the Toshiba page again:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    By the way: A new recovery disk you can order from Toshiba directly: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    If you have more questions, please let us know!

  • How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1A9?

    Hi!,
    first of all, sorry if I'm asking something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this issues...also sorry for my English, I'm not native.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9 with Windows Vista preinstalled but the thing is I prefer Windows XP. I have tried to install it but it won't work.
    I have read lots of posts and comments about this issue in this forum and also in the web. The problem is I don't know if the procedure and the drivers to download are the same for all the L300 models. Mine is L300 1A9.
    Anyone could give me some extra simply instructions (I'm a beginner) about how to do solve this problem or any link relating this issue? I have seen many of them, but none about this model L300 1A9.
    Thank you very much!!

    Hi Lars_3,
    thank you very much for your reply and interest.
    When I say that installing Windows XP doesn't work, I mean that my laptop has Windows Vista but I have tried to reinitialized (format) it to install Windows XP, but when I run the Windows XP (original) disk an error message pops up and I can't continue the installation.
    I have had a look to the Toshiba's downloads link you posted, but there's no mention to the L series model. The options available are for M-Series and Net-Book series, so I wonder if it is possible to use one of them for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9?
    Thank you very much for your kind help!

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
    thanks.

    Hi buddy,
    Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
    In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
    So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

  • Cannot install Windows 8 on Satellite L750 - CPU compatibility issue

    Why can I not install Windows 8 Consumer Preview on my Toshiba Satellite L750-22x?
    I get a processor compatibility error.
    Intel i3 M380 2.53GHz

    Hi
    The internet provides some details about this error message.
    It seem that in order to install the Win 8 CP the CPU should support PAE/NX/SSE2 features
    Never-eXecute Bit ( [NX bit|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit] ) allows marking of memory pages as non-executable.
    Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) is a previous standard that is supported by Intel and AMD CPU. Therefore all CPUs that support NX would also support SSE2 too.
    Usually enabling the XD (for Intel CPUs) or NX (for AMD CPUs) in BIOS should disable this error message.
    But if this is not available in BIOS then either the CPU does not supports this feature or the BIOS does not support this option.
    According to Intel Ark page the Intel Core i3-380M supports Execute Disable Bit. So possibly the BIOS does not support this feature
    http://ark.intel.com/products/50178/Intel-Core-i3-380M-Processor-
    It seems you need to wait for new BIOS

  • Cannot install Windows 7 on Satellite L550

    I have a notebook Toshiba Satellite L550-13C.
    I had problems with my laptop i couldn't start it i managed to boot my pc to windows xp with no drivers.

    And no i cant do it when i boot the pc it makes another problem
    So how can i fix this not recognize thing do i need too download a driver or something like that
    Need heeeelp :(

    Hello
    Your posting is pretty confusing and it is not easy to understand you.
    I dont understand which setup file you want to use but you cannot install operating system with click on some setup file.
    You can install Windows 7 using Toshiba recovery image (if you got one) or using original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc.
    So please be nice and explain to me which disc do you have and how do you try to install Windows 7.

    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).

  • Can't install windows XP on Satellite Pro A200-1N2

    hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. i downgraded the bios to V5.30 But still can't install windows xp and from the bios still there is no optin for SATA.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Did you install the SATA drivers firstly?
    You need this driver to recognize the HDD!
    You should download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it either on the Toshiba driver page or on the Intel website.
    You must perform the installation from an external USB FDD drive using the F6 button while the Win XP setup.

  • Installing Windows XP on Satellite L40-114

    I just bought a Satellite L40-114 for home and education. I just found out I need windows XP for some scientific applications and the VPN software for access, so I tried to install it. I was really disappointed Toshiba does not seem to deliver XP drivers for this laptop. I managed to get the sound working for what its worth (sound skipping) but hotkeys and video drivers is not working at all.
    Anyone who had more luck installing Windows XP on this laptop?

    Hi there,
    I cannot help you regarding the hotkeys but in case of videodrivers you should visit www.intel.com for video drivers since your machine has an intel 900GMA video chipset.
    Just go to the Intel website and download drivers for that chipset, it should work.
    Would appreciate some feedback on your success.

  • 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.

  • Installing Windows XP on Satellite A10 without CD/DVD drive

    I want to reinstall windows xp on a Toshiba A10 and the CD Rom is dead ...
    I've tryed to reinstall it from a bootable usb stick but i can't make it to boot from it.
    I was thinking about that LAN boot thing.
    Can I install windows from a lan pc and if a i can, can someone explain how or give me a tutorial or something?
    How can i install windows from the usb stick?
    Please help me i really need this to work.

    Hi
    It seems that the BIOS does not support booting from the USB flash drive.
    The booting from LAN is possible but if you want to boot from LAN then you will need an RIS Server.
    Here is a Microsoft Step-by-Step Guide to Remote OS Installation
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742378.aspx
    But to be honest I would recommend other method.
    If you want to install the Win XP on the HDD then you should copy the i386 folder from the Win XP CD to HDD (you can remove the HDD from notebook and could connect it to other computer using USB controller).
    Then you should go to i386 folder which you copied to HDD and should execute the setup.exe or winnt.exe
    Both exe file should start the installation setup.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 on Equium P200D-139 - CD/DVD drivers missing

    Hello all.
    Hello this laptop came with Windows Vista.
    I am trying to install Windows 7 - 32 Bit for my mother.
    She does not have the original Toshiba DVD's so I purchased Windows 7 for her.
    First I boot using the Windows 7 DVD.
    Then the language selection screen is shown and selections made.
    Then the +Install Now+ option is chosen.
    Then the following message appears - this is verbatim:
    +"A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.+
    +Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive you can safely remove it for this step."+
    I cannot progress beyond this point.
    The Windows Vista installation is still on the laptop, and I cannot find any of the drivers that are required - sadly the driver request is not very specific. I am wondering if it is needs drivers for the hard drive?
    I have been searching on the internet and cannot find any drivers that work.
    Thanks in advance for any help :-)

    Hi
    The CD/DVD driver is part of the Microsoft system and also available on the Windows 7 installation disk.
    Therefore there are no special CD/DVD drivers available.
    I read about this theme in different forums and also on Microsoft support forum and mostly this issue appear if the Windows system disk is faulty/damage.
    I dont know from where you got this disk but I recommend you to download an Windows iso file from Microsoft server as mentioned here:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=73726
    Then you could create own Windows installation disk or USB flash memory stick
    The serial key which you got with the Windows disk could be used for activation.

  • 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.

  • Need instruction how to install Windows XP on Satellite A200-1AE

    Hello can some one write a instruction of installing Windows XP Professional on this notebook?
    What I need before instalation?
    I have oryginal Windows XP. Which drivers i must have before? And what about boot?
    I guess that my PC have SATA drive and XP setup don't support it.
    Can I burn driver on CD? Becouse I don't have FDD.
    Thanks for help.

    You need instruction?
    Search in this forum for similar threads about this theme.
    You will find many threads!!
    But here is a little hint;
    You need to include the Intel matrix Storage Manager into the XP setup.
    Without the iMSM the XP OS will not find the HDD!!!
    The iMSM can be installed using the USB FDD drive or you can create a new XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite.
    After the OS installation, you should download and install the Toshiba drivers from the Tosh European driver page.
    PS: should check the driver installation instruction txt file before you will start to install the Toshiba XP drivers
