Windows XP - Dual Boot for Satellite U300-134

Hi. I have read the other replies to this problem of adding Windows XP (as a dual boot) but it still won't work. My laptop (I bought a few days ago) comes with Vista, and I bought Windows XP Home Edition - OEM. I got the intel matrix storage manager onto a USB floppy drive, but now it gives a message that "The file txtsetup.oem could not be found". I have to have XP because it turns out my work VPN will not run under Vista (I found that out AFTER I bought the computer unfortunately).
Can you please tell me what I need to do next to get this working? And any other surprises I might come across? I have looked round the internet but can't find the answers to this. I tried nlite but haven't managed to get that working yet either.
Thank you.
Ian

Hi
There are different reasons why you cannot install the Win XO on the U300.
First of all do you use the right Intel Matrix Storage manager?
You notebook seems to support the Intel GM965 + Intel ICH8M chipset!!!
Please check this thread!

User Markus77 has listed the details!
Furthermore please dont format the HDD or create any partitions AFTER installation of the Intel Matrix Storage manager. This would delete the already installed driver.

  • Cannot backup Windows 7 (dual-boot) image to external HD (formated as Mac OS Extended)

    I cannot backup my Windows 7 (dual-boot) image to my external HD (formated as Mac OS Extended). I installed MacDrive 8.0 hoping to solve the problem but Windows 7 gives me an error when I try to create a backup: "...drive is not formatted as NTFS, cannot use as backup...".
    I also tried making an Image of the Windows 7 partition through Disk Utility but was not allowed to do so.
    I am not sure where else to go from here. I need to keep my external hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended but I also need to backup my Windows 7 partition. I only have the single external at the moment. Is there a way to backup my Windows 7 partition?
    Thanks

    Winclone will backup your Windows partition to a Mac formatted drive.
    Just search for Winclone on this forum and on Goggle.

  • Dual boot for lion and SL

    BHow do I set up the dual boot for Lion and snow leopard oon the same internal hard disK
    What does Time machine do  under the dual boot?

    I am also considering putting Lion and SL on separate hard drives.
    Since this is an iMac forum, I assume you will use an external drive as the second drive. Use one that connects via firewire, not via USB.
    Both on a single drive -
    OK. Doing it on a single drive means you will need to partition the internal drive. Although this is straight forward, it is always best to back up the existing drive first, just in case. It's a good idea to have a backup on a different drive, anyway.
    To do that, clone the entire internal drive to the external drive.
    I would suggest, though, that you first partition the external drive. I would suggest four equal-size partitions, provided the drive is big enough - at least 1.0TB, though a 2.0TB drive might be better. You can use OS X's disk utility to do that. Go to the Partition page in Disk Utility, select your external driv in the list on the left, then use the Partition Layout menu to select the number of partitions. Set the format to Mac OS Extended (journaled) GUID for all partitions. Click the Apply button.
    The easy way to do the cloning is to use a cloning utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Clone the entire internal drive to one of the partitions on the external drive. Then test boot to it (use Startup Disk in System Preferences to do that) to verify the integrity of the clone. At that time I would suggest you change the background design/picture for the desktop to aomething other than the one used on the original drive - this can be a handy visual reminder of which volume you are booted to.
    Then add a partition to the internal drive. To do that, run Disk Utility. Go to the Partition page, select your internal drive in the list on the left, but do not use the Partition Layout menu this time. Instead, click the existing volume in the graphic display, then click the plus ("+") button underneath that display -
    This will add a partition without erasing the existing information - i.e., the drive will end up with two partitions, one of which will contain your original boot volume.
    Use Startup Disk to re-select your original boot violume, and restart back into it.
    Now, clone the original drive again using CCC, but this time to the second partition of the internal drive, the one you just added.
    Boot to that freshly cloned volume to verify it. Then, while still booted to it, install OS X 10.7 Lion onto it.
    This will result in your original Snow Leopard on the first partition of the internal drive, and Lion on the second partition of the internal drive.
    The external drive will have Snow Leopard on one partition, one partition will be empty (available for a clone of Lion if you wish, or use it for extra storage). The remaining two partitions can be used for Time Machine backups - one for Snow Leopard, one for Lion.
    If you want to have each OS on its own hard drive, then you can use the first clone of Snow Leopard to the external to be upgraded to Lion, or upgrade the orignal on the internal drive to Lion. Be sure to boot to the volume to be used for Lion before installing it so that Lion is installed onto the correct boot volume.
    You can then use the empty partition on the internal drive as the backup (or Time Machine) volume for the OS on the external drive, and vice versa. In this arrangement you may need only partition the external into two volumes.
    If you have a different scheme in mind for partitioning, feel free to do that. I don't use Time Machine, so don't have the need to make space for it. Carbon Copy Cloner can be used to do incremental backups after the initial backup - but I don't use that, either. I'm old school - after the inital cloning for backup, I do manual backups of files on the fly.
    Comments -
    * I would suggest keeping both Snow Leopard and Lion on the internal drive. Reason - even though firewire 800 is fast, it is still noticeably slower than an internal drive. OS's on an external drive will run slower than those on an internal drive.
    • I don't like the concept of Time Machine. Amongst other things, it seems to want more space on the target volume than it actually needs; and it is not a bootable replication. A clone of a bootable volume is bootable.
    • It was just a few days ago that I went through the same process as you are planning. One slight difference - I used a 1.0TB external partitioned into 3 equal volumes, since I had no need to allow space for Time Machine. I have Snow Leopard and Lion each on its own partition of the internal drive; and cloned backups of each on the external drive, plus one GP partition on the external drive.
    • If you have not yet downloaded Lion, be prepared for it to take a while; it's almost 4GB in size. Probably be a good idea to defeat sleep for the duration.
    • Cloning takes a while, but not that long - it took 30 minutes to clone 45GB to the external drive, and 45 minutes to clone it to the second internal partition.

  • Logical Partition Only? Windows Arch Dual Boot

    ASUS Eee PC
    I want to dual boot for the present time and my hard drive is currently partitioned as:
    Winows - NTFS - Primary partition - 70 GB
    Hidden - Fat32  - Primary partition - 15 GB
    Unknown - Other - Primary partition - 20 MB
    Unallocated - 147 GB
    I have no idea what the hidden and other partitions are, but I don't want to delete them just yet.
    This leaves me only one partition to install Arch on. Can I make the all of unallocated a logical drive and install Arch or do I need at least one primary partition?
    Thanks,
    Kent

    There's also usually an option to make a set of recovery disks. I think I had a 12GB recovery partition and the "set" of discs was going to be 21CDs but it would free up that space and a primary partition.

  • Need windows 7 32 bit for Satellite R630-11L

    Can anyone help me to locate Windows 7 32bit drivers for Satellite R630-11L,
    I found only for windows 7 64bit

    Hi
    I didnt find a full range of Win 7 32bit drivers for Satellite R630 on the Toshiba European driver page as you said, just 64bit drivers are available.
    You can try to install 64bit drivers on Win 32bit system. In many cases this should be possible.
    In cases where this is not possible, try the drivers from other satellite series
    Its worth a try
    But why you want to switch to 32bit? 64bit OS is better if your notebook supports 4GB RAM or more

  • Dual boot on Satellite A200 with Vista-XP?

    Computer details: *Satellite A200-PSAE6E...*
    The laptop came with Vista...I managed to install Windows XP (with new drivers etc...) and it' s working just fine *BUT* after reboot, even Acronis OSS doesn't recognize Vista anymore, and the computer boots directly to Win XP only. (I need both OS...)
    I'm searching many hours now instructions for *dual boot*, but everyone takes for granted that I have an Installation DVD for Vista... I don't!!!
    Toshiba came only with the Product Recovery CD, so all the instructions about MBR and the solutions that even Microsoft gives me (E:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 All........) it's useless!
    Is there anybody out there???
    Please....if you can give me any hint at all it would be.... just a miracle...thanx

    Hi,
    This isn't direct with your problem - but I was wondering if you would be able to help me? As like you I have just brought the same laptop, and there was no installation disk just the restore disk?! I am trying to open some applications in PowerPoint but it keeps asking for the product key, although I have put this in as it is on the base of the laptop, it is still stating it is wrong?!
    Have you had any problems with PowerPoint?
    Thanks

  • Windows XP and Windows 7 dual boot (unable to create partition)

    Hello, 3 months ago I bought in Bangkok a Lenovo S10-2 with 2 GB Memory (it came with 1 GB) and Thai Keyboard (Thai Keyboard is the American Keyboard with the Thai Alphabet)  which works just fine.
    I'd like to install Windows 7 in a new partition and a dual boot with the existing Windows XP. The problem is that It's not possible to create a partition on the C: disk. I've been trying with EASEUS Partition Master, Partition Manager 10 Express and none of them let me do it, only Resizing/Moving the existing partition is an option.
    Hard disk looks as follows:
     C:  Type: NTFS | Size 103.91 GB | Used: 29.49 GB | Unusued: 79.42 GB | Status: System | Pri/Log: Primary
     D: (Lenovo) Type: NTFS | Size 30.38 GB | Used: 1.44 GB | Unusued: 28.95 GB | Status: None| Pri/Log: Logical
     *:  (Hidden) Type: NTFS | Size 14.75 GB | Used: 4.88 GB | Unusued: 9.87 GB | Status: None| Pri/Log: Primary
    After search the forums I didn't find a solution.
    I've read elsewhere that Windows des not allow more than 3 partitions. Is there a safe way to partition the C: volume which has Windows XP and Install Windows Seven along with it?
    Thanks in advance,
    George
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    be sure that you backup your system.... partitioning and resizing  is always on risk...
    be sure that you can restore if something goes wrong...
    if you dont know what happens ... dont do this...
    first you can have 3 active (primary & 1 logical ..
    as i have for example 1.XP,2. Win7,3. Ubuntu...and 4. Logical (for common data like music,video,textfiles,picture and...)
    or 4 active primary...(..)
    ...hope that you knows easeus partitionmanager a bit ...
    ...lets have a look :
    so you have ... partition c: (XP) .....  ca. 70 GB .... thats enough room for windows 7...(prefer 30GB workspace)
    start in windows ... start easeus PM .. click on drive c: (XP) and resize to ... GB leave 30 GB black space behind..(for W7)..
    go on this empty space create new primary NTFS partition   ... and after that ,  right click on new primary drive set active !!!! .... click apply button and cross fingers
     ... system will restart and easeus will manage all your changes takes time...
    after restart... prepared for booting windows 7 install and if windows asking you , take the second partition on your harddrive (30 GB)..... and ....so on...  
    thats the way to go ...

  • Windows 7 dual-boot query

    Hi there!
    I am in the process of selling my old Windows 7 laptop and I'm very much considering to buy my very first MacBook Pro laptop. Now, I heard that one can install Windows 7 OS as a dual-boot to Mac OS X.  Can I ask:
    1. Will I need an actually physical Windows 7 disc to install it in my MBP? Is it that easy to install? Roughly how long will it take to install?
    2. Will dual-boot mean that it might slowdown the MBP's performance and running?
    3.  With Windows 7 boot camp will the multi-gesture functionality of Mac OS X be "applicable" in the Windows OS?
    Thank you.

    Yes

    Easy for most
    Roughly how long will it take to install?
    A hour or so.
    Will dual-boot mean that it might slowdown the MBP's performance and running?
    No, dual boot is chosing one operating system or the other when booting.
    With Windows 7 boot camp will the multi-gesture functionality of Mac OS X be "applicable" in the Windows OS?
    Not all no, Apple bridges some but not all the gestures are supported in Win 7 or their software.

  • [SOLVED] virtual machine or dual-boot for development

    I'm about to setup a new machine and I am in need of some advice on whether to dual-boot or run a virtual box.  Arch Linux is my primary OS, but I need Windows 7 (64-bit) for certain development work.  Specifically, the tools I use are Visual Studio Express 10/11 and NI LabVIEW, and I almost always run them both at the same time.  Would this type of situation be better suited for a dual-boot setup or could I run it in VirtualBox?  I haven't done a lot of work with virtual machines, so I'm not sure of how they typically perform.  I mostly care about seamless performance and I honestly don't mind rebooting between the OSes, but if I cat get seamless performance using VirtualBox, then why not go that route.  Also, not having to setup up the dual-boot is a plus. 
    The hardware of this machine includes:  8 gigs of ram, AMD FX 8350, 128 GB SSD, and a 1 GB Radeon 4670 graphics card. 
    I know this question has been touched on in other posts, but most of the posts I've seen are more than a year or two old. Given advances in hardware, I'm interested in a current advice.

    Hi,
    I have a similar setup for my work. My hardware is : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz, 16GB of ram, 256GB SSD SED. I run a Windows 8 VM inside Virtualbox with the guest addition + extension pack and use VS 2012 Pro on daily basis.
    My VM is configured to have only 1 CPU with a 100% execution cap and 4GB of ram. Thing run just perfectly like this, fluent and eye candy. Depending on my need I increase the number of CPU or tweak the execution cap.
    Cheers
    Edit:
    Sadly modifying the VM CPU number must be done offline. However the execution cap can be tweaked online.

  • Arch And Windows 7 Dual Boot On Separate HDD

    Hi everyone.
    Firstly, a big thank you to everyone for helping me out in my first thread regarding choice of partitions and filesystems.
    I went on to install Arch today on my second HDD (160GB). My first HDD has Windows 7 installed on it. (The BIOS shows that the HDD with Win 7 installed is HDD1.)
    Arch showed the HDDs as sda and sdb. I was installing on sdb and created my partitions accordingly.
    sdb1 --> root (15GB)
    sdb2 --> swap (1GB)
    sdb3 --> var (10GB)
    sdb4 --> home (remaining space)
    I had to flag sdb1 as Bootable.
    Then I was asked about mountpoints and something about selecting by dev or uuid. I didn't quite understand but selected dev. Then formatted with ext4. Did not add any parameters.
    Before proceeding they gave a warning about no /boot partition but I continued anyway.
    It was an FTP install and went pretty smoothly. I configured everything exactly as I had read in the guides online and Wiki. GRUB said it configured successfully (I did not make any chnges to it). I had put GRUB on sdb and not on any partition.
    As I rebooted, my system did not show the GRUB but went straight on to Windows 7. I went into BIOS and changed my first drive to the 160GB Seagate where I had installed Arch and rebooted. This time GRUB came up without any option to boot Windows 7. When I selected Arch it gave an error and did not boot.
    So I'm back on Windows 7 and need help. I'm a noob and did not much understand the solution that I saw on another thread.  Since I intend to have the 2 OSs on separate drives and dual boot, what should I do?
    Will be very grateful for any help.

  • Dual Boot on Satellite A205-S6808

    I tried dual boot on my Satellite A205-S6808. I have installed W7 and I want boot also with XP Pro.The Lap Top does not accept XP Pro.What can be done????
    Many thanks in advance.
    Lucanio Ramucci

    I presume you must load SATA driver before WXP installation starts. Without SATA driver the HDD will not be visible for WXP.
    According the notebook specification your notebook has Intel GM965 + Intel ICH8M chipset.
    You can try to download this storage manager from http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/stormng-20070827133046.zip
    Files from F6flpy > Ich8M_32-bit folder extract to FLOPPY Disc.
    When WXP setup starts press F6 and follow the menu on the screen. When necessary load the files using S button.
    I hope this will work.
    If you don't have floppy disc to load it you can try to create own WXP installations disc using nLite software.
    I hope THIS guideline can help you to do this.
    I really hope you will have success with dual boot installation.
    At the end I must confirm what Jeka wrote. If possible install WXP at first. When you install it as second OS you will not be able to choose between both installed operating systems. Only using BOOT manager you will be able to choose which OS should start. when you install newer OS as second one you will have small menu shown at start-up where you can choose which OS should be loaded.

Maybe you are looking for
