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

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.

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 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?

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.

Blue screen when installing Win XP Pro on Satellite A100-211

Hi all.
I'm started to get really desperate here!! I've just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (since the notebook ships with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), i get a blue STOP screen just as the setup application reaches the "Setup is starting Windows" phase!! The STOP message states something about a file named "pci.sys".
I don't know what is wrong or how to install XP Pro!! It should be so simple! I even tried getting the SATA drivers from intel and load them at the windows XP Pro install setup (with F6) with a floppy, but I still get the same blue screen at the same stage of the setup!!
Can anybody PLEASE help me??? Can anyone explain how can I install Win XP Pro on this notebook???
Thanks very much in advance!! I'm really really freaking out with this
Octavio.

Hi
Did you get this error message?
"stop error 0x7E in Pci.sys"
I have found information on the Microsoft website that you need the latest Microsoft service pack.

How can I install windows XP on my Satellite A300-129

Hello,
Since a few days I have bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-129. I'm very satisfied with the laptop, though I don't like to work with Vista so i would prefer to reformate the laptop and install Windows XP Professional(32 or 64 bits, dunno yet).
However I don't know if i have to do anything special for it, because this is my first notebook I've got and I only once had a laptop with drivers on a CD. Now i'm switching operating system i think i need some driver disc's for my webcam and stuff like that.
I hope some1 can help me :)
Thanks alot
BTW I'm dutch, so sorry for my English.

> And i've got a legit license of XP Pro, though i dont understand what u mean with the sata driver things. Do u mean i need to ADD the drivers on the current Disc with windows XP?
The point is that your Windows XP CD does not contain the SATA drivers which are necessary to recognize the HDD during the XP setup procedure.
So you will have to include the SATA driver pressing the F6 button while the XP setup is loading. For this procedure an external FDD drive is necessary.
If you dont have a external USB FDD drive then you could create an Win XP CD and could include the SATA drivers using the free software called nLite.
One note; Use the forums search function for searching on other threads about the nLite and how to create such CD. I remember there are many threads in the forum about this theme.
Cheers

Trying to install win xp pro on Satellite A200-TH1 (PSAE3C)

Hello everyone,
I just bought this laptop. It came with vista. I want to install xp pro on it, I mean keeping vista as well. So I did partition, and allocated 72GB for xp pro. Now the problem is that, xp pro install cd does not recognize the harddrive. It says no harddrive present.
It is a SATA drive. So I did some googling on it, and found that xp pro does not have SATA drivers so that is why it can not see the hard drive. I need to install the SATA drivers with the xp pro by pressing F6...and blah blah. Since this laptop did not come with the floppy, so I found on some forums to include the drivers with xp pro cd and make an iso image and try to run it.
I tried many times but every time it gives me error that cable is broken. Can anyone pls let me know what is wrong? And also if someone can guide me to get the right drivers for my SATA drive and intel chipset 965PM...If I go on to the Intel website...
They are all .EXE files. I want driver files only, so i can insert them in the xp cd. Thanks for your help and guidence in adavance.

Hello All,
I was able to get the drivers...now I came accross another hurdle... When I put the XP installation cd (which is an ISO bootable disk.. this includes xp sp2 and realtek nic drivers) it gives me message that checking for media..RTL8100E/8101E v1.02....test failed...check if the cable is connected...
Any ideas? What should I do now? Any suggestion would be appreciated...thanks

In fact the XP drivers for the A200 series are not released on this time. I didnt find it on the Tosh page.
But there are a lot of threads about XP drivers and most of them provide a great links to a XP drivers which functions on a Satellite A200;

How to install the new BIOS for Satellite Pro M50 running Ubuntu

I am running Ubuntu on my Pro M50. Could someone advise me what the latest BIOS is and how to install it?
The BIOS upgrade site here seems to havean exe file but I couldn't see the BIOS file within?
Thanks

Why do you want to update the BIOS?!
Do you have any big troubles with your notebook?!
The Toshiba European driver page provides BIOS for XP and BIOS for Vista.
Both BIOS versions must be executed while the operating system is running!
If you use the Linux on your notebook, you will be not able to update the BIOS!!!
Do you understand?
Once again; The BIOS update should be done ONLY if its absolutely necessary. In other case dont update it!

Re: How to enable/disable BT module on Satellite A300?

I have Toshiba Satellite A300-1MM.
When I try to connect to my Wi-fi connection NOW I have to TURN the switch ON , on the front side of my laptop and everything works fine, but Bluetooth device is also turned on. I'd like to turn off the Bluetooth and work with Wi-fi only, without setting the switch on or off. What kind of different drivers do I need to install?
Before I reinstall windows 7 again, I was using my Wi-fi connection turned on and Bluetooth turned off, without turning on the switch on the front side of my laptop, I was turning the switch on only for Bluetooth device to be activated, when I needed something to transfer, and after that I was turning off, and the LED LIGHT was off, but I still got a Wi-fi connection and internet of course, any solutions ? ...
Thank You Very Much ....

... Yes I did ....
My friend have HP, and he's using some kind of Hp wireless manager ... and he's using wi-fi and bluetooth separately, like I was using before.
now I tried to set the wi-fi only and this one showed up:
