Is it possible to install Windows XP on a Satellite A200-1CR

Hello all. I have a A200-1CR with vista. This OS is not working very good and i cannot install a lot of programms that i must use. So, is it possible to delete the Vista and install Win XP pro instead? What about the drivers? Can i install the drivers for Vista at XP? If not, does anyone knows when toshiba will release drivers for win XP?Thanks!

Hi there,
surely you can delete Vista and put XP on your machine. But before you do this, try to find the appropriate drivers for your machine at these sites:

http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp

and then when youve collected all drivers and burned them to a CD, then you can install XP. :)
Easy going. ;)

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my Satellite M40X?

Hi,
I tried to update on Windows 7. Now I am looking for a driver for audio, network and massstorage. Is it generally possible to install win7?
Thanks

Hi
Win 7 is definitely possible. I could install Win 7 on my 6 years old notebook even if the drivers were not available.
I used this instruction to find out what device my notebook support and could search using google for Win 7 drivers:
[How to identify an unknown device?|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD0302U00000R01.htm]
But to be honest, its difficult to find all Win 7 drivers for such units the point is that even chip manufacturers dont provide Win 7 drivers for older chip/devices.
However in most cases Windows 7 uses own standard Microsoft drivers.

Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on macbook pro late 2013?

hi ,
Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on late 2013 macbook pro?
I have tried installing it twice but both of the time i got an error
Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.

Maybe people have found a solution already but yesterday I managed to install Win 8.1 as a BootCamp on my new 15" retina MBP. I followed the steps John Guo described but with a couple of changes as his approach failed for me.
1. Make sure you are starting from a single partition.
2. Create the Windows install USB from the ISO and also allow BootCamp Assistant to create download the drivers - but untick the option to install windows.
3. Open Disk Utility and create a new partition and format as MS-DOS (FAT) rather than leave as free space.
4. Restart your Mac and use the option to boot into the Windows part of the USB not the EFI-boot.
5. Follow the install
6. When it comes to the drive selection select the FAT drive. Windows installer will say it cannot install here as it needs to be and NTFS partitiion (in previous atempts I always got the message to say the partitiion was using GUI partition table so could not install even though it was formatted to NTFS).
7. The format to NTFS should work fine and install proceed.
8. When the installer reboots the machine you will need to use the boot option to ensure you boot back into Windows.
9. Once installed the bootcamp driver install runs automatically and for me all drivers run fine even the NVIDIA, which I've seen some people mention having issues with.
I was inpressed with Windows automatically scaling the text to 200%, which meant it was using the full 2880x1800 resolution so everything was crisp but the windows and text was scaled nicely. I changed this 150% to give me some more real estate.
I'm guessing that by formatting the new partition as FAT it creates a MBP within the new drive that is writable by windows but I'm not a windows guru so this is a guess. But anyway, this work perfectly.
hope this helps some people.

Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp? How would I do this?

If you have Lion installed, and run Boot Camp, it will create the boot flash for you, just followe the tutorial on screen. As far as I remember, this was not possible prior to Lion.

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! :)

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Retina MacBook with a shared CD drive?

My school provides Windows 7 Ultimate upgrades to students
My friend installed Windows 7 normally even though it's technically an upgrade (burned the .img file to a DVD using Disk Utility and installed it through the Boot Camp Assistant tool in Snow Leopard)
I own a 2008 MacBook which has an optical drive
I own 1, 2 GB thumb drive and 1, 4 GB thumb drive
Is it possible to install Windows 7 through my Retina MacBook Pro through a shared CD connection with my 2008 MacBook?
I tried using the Boot Camp Assitant tool.
I burned the Windows 7 upgrade .img file to a DVD with Disk Utility just like my friend
I copied that DVD as a .cdr file to my Retina MacBook using the shared CD connection and Disk Utility, and changed the file extension to .iso
With the Boot Camp Assistant, I set-up my 4 GB thumb drive
When I get to the "Create a Partition for Windows" screen and I press install, I get the message "The installer disc could not be found".
The DVD is in my 2008 MacBook and I mounted it on the Retina MacBook. The 4 GB Windows set-up thumb drive is connected to the Retina MacBook.
I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated.

You need the USB SuperDrive or an USB disk to install Windows on the computer

Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
Disk 0 Part 1 - 102 MB EFI System
Disk 0 Part 2 - 128 MB MSR
Disk 0 Part 3 - 500 MB Primary
Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.
Cheers, Eric

I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
(X3 710).
I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
be OK there.
Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
launch a command prompt.
I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
First I selected the disk
list disk (this displays the installed disks)
select disk 0
The I converted the disk to gpt
convert gpt
Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
create partition
efi size=200
Then I created MSR
partition:
create partition
msr size=128
Then I created primary
partition:
create partition
primary
...and it took remaining
available space to itself.
I assigned drive
letter C to this new first "primary" partition
Assign letter=c
I confirmed the order is:
I confirmed the partition order is:
ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
“Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
and the details show:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it possible to Install Windows on Sparc machine.

hi
Can anybody please tell me that is it possible to install Windows Operating system on a SPARC machine using some kind of VMWare*.

Hi.
SPARC CPU not compatible with x86, so no one program for x86 can be run on SPARC cpu.
Many many years ago was product WABI. It was emulation x86 on SPARC and can allow install windows in special environment.
It was Windows 3.1 :) . It work slow.
After this SUN make product SunPCi. It was special card with installed x86 CPU and even separate memory.
Realy - PC on card. With Special Program it allow install windows. Realy Windows work on x86 CPU, not on SPARC.
Now all this product died many years. SPARC system more expensive. It's easy and cheap buy general PC for Windows.
Regards.

Cannot install Windows XP Pro on Satellite A100-411

Hi,
I´ve got a question. I own a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance which would me much better with Windows XP I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition but on the same harddisk.
The Problem is that it didnt work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD Drive, did a reboot and started from cd.
Than the first installation window of Windows Xp opened and checked my system, but when it was done and
wantet to start the main installation i got a bluescreen, where was standing that she System was shut down because of an error and that i should change my videocard or that i should turn of caching and shadowing in my Bios.
But my Videocard realy works and is ok and i can't find caching and shadowing in the bios, so i cant install windows xp.
So my question is wether there is a possibility to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.
Did I do something wrong or isnt it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on a A100-411
Sorry for my bad english and greetings from germany

Hey guys, this topic can be closed, ive fixed the problem on my own but thanks for your advice Jack Black.
I had 2 partitions before u told me to create them, that was not my problem, the problem was, that my windows xp cd was one of the older ones, so i created a new xp cd including service pack 2 and the installation went fine.
But than there was an other problem, the only OS which started was Win Xp because of the damaged bootloader of windows vista.
A friend told me that this problem can be fixed with VistaBootPro and that was a good advice of him.
Now everything is fine and i hope that my games wont crash anymore and i also hope that there will be not so much bluescreens as under windows vista.
Have a nice weekend to everyone *g*

Installing Windows 7 on the Satellite M100

I have the Satellite M100-JG2 (PSMA0C-JG200E). I would like to install Windows 7. The Toshiba does not list the M100 as compatible. The Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor does point to some issues, but I do not know how easy it is to overcome them.
I read on another forum that the touchpad didn't work after the upgrade but this was solved by installing a Synaptics driver. Otherwise, I'm seeing people posting the upgrade was successful with no other info. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced success or not in attempting this upgrade, any issues they've run in to and how they've resolved them?
The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor provides the following information (I've delete personal programs):
All systems pass (I only have 1GB RAM though, so not sure if this is too little, even though it passed)
All devices pass
Programs with issues:
TOSHIBA ConfigFree version 5.90.05 (don't know if I even need this)
TOSHIBA Hardware Setup version 1.39.0.4C
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password version 1.39.0.5C
TOSHIBA Alps Pointing-device Driver version 6.0.2.186 (is this touchpad)
Client and Host Security Platform version 104.0.14.2
Any help or advice would be welcomed before I attempt this upgrade.
Thanks!

Okay, same Rory, different signon, as I had a password recovery issue. Alex, thanks for your very helpful response.
Here are my two major concerns:
1) Toshiba does not list the M100 compatible for a reason, but it does list the M300 and M500 as compatible. I do not know why the M100 is not listed.
2) The big issue I've seen in my internet search with the M100 is that the touchpad does not work after installing Windows 7. I was this resolved by one user by installing a Synaptics driver, but that is the only thing I've been able to find on the net about this.
Does anyone have any advice or experience about installing Windows 7 in the Satellite M100. I would have to wipe my only laptop, upgrade and find out I've hit a wall and have to try to go about to XP.
Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!
Rory

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.

Satellite A200-1CR: Can I install Vista using my Vista installations DVD?

Hi
I would like to have some answers in my questions......
I have satellite A200-1CR (PSAE0) and I want to install vista on my own....not with the recovery DVD but I have some serious questions....
1) May I have problems during installation....(SATA drivers, etc) ,problems with BIOS or Toshiba has no such restrictions?
2) Is it problem if I erase the secret partition (winre) and what is its use?
3) If I do a clean install with my DVD with my vista....if I want in the near future can I use the recovery DVD I have got or not?
4) In drivers section for my laptop for each part has 5,6,7 either 8 drivers for win vista...which one is the proper or it's all the same?
5) In general what do you suggest? Are there any reasons why not to do my format??? I have done a lot of formats in desktop but never in laptops.
Sorry if tired you with my questions, and sometimes my bad English....
Thank you in advance........

Hi
I think I can answer some questions lets start with
> 1) Vista DVD has SATA drivers but WXP doesn't. Do you think the possibility not to recognize the HDD is high? I can't understand where you mean to install the HDD drivers.....
As Gipsyman already posted you need the Intel Matrix Storage Manger. If you use the XP then this driver must be installed from the external USB floppy disk drive. You have to put the sata driver on the diskette and should include the SATA driver while the
Windows XP setup is running. I think you have to press F6 to include the driver.
But if you dont have a external USB floppy drive then you could create an own XP CD with the SATA driver. To create a new XP CD you need the freeware tool called nLite (google for details).
If you want to install Vista then you could include the SATA driver from the USB stick.
By the way; this forum provides more as enough details about Intel Matrix Storage Manger and nLite. Use the search option!!!
