Aug 8, 2007
I would like to get help with the following problem.I have a Toshiba laptop with Linux(UBUNTU) in it. I do not have any of those CD's and now I want to install Windows xp in this machine by removing UBUNTU.Is this something possible with out UBUNTU CD's??I have a Win Xp cd.Please help me out and let me know if I need to download anything to make this happen.If its not possible to remove UBUNTU please advise me if I can have Winxp along with that and have Dual OS.
i am thinking of getting rid of windows xp and using linux instead (DSL version 4.2).will i be able to install windows programs? will it have the featurss like a word processor and paint?will i have to install my own scanner and camera wizard or will it cum with linux? whats the difference between linux and windows xp? i know that the DSL version 4.2 of linux is only 50MB. and hardly takes any space of your hard drive, especially ram. will i be able to change the theme of linux into an xp classic theme or any other theme?
I recently purchased a notebook with XP Home SP@ proinstalled. I upgraded to XP Pro but had to do a complete intall rather than an upgrade because my xp pro update cd was older than xp home sp2. I now have a windows (xp home) and a windowsp (xp pro) folder.
With this activation process, you cannot have xp(RETAIL) on more than one machine. I would like to remove it from one machine and then install in another. MS tech support told me that this copy of xp cannot get a license for more than one machine. I wish I knew that before. I would then have put it on the machine that I want it on now. Can it be removed and then installed on another nachine? Still only one machine licensed.
I have an old Toshiba laptop. I bougth a laptop enclosure for this 2.5 size. In order to fit the enclosure I had to remove a bracet that was needed for the laptop. After removing it, I inserted it into the ide connector of that enclosure...fine, but I cannot close the enclosure the way it should. It misses by an 1'16 or 1'8 of an inch. Looking at the hd ( IBM ) it has a metal cover with 6 screws. It has all the specs of that hd. Its possible It may fit of I remove it, but I do not know if that is wise to the hd.
I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite A85-S107. 40 gig harddrive. 1.4GHz processor. 256 megs ram.
A system check using MSinfo32 indicates that I only have 16 megs ofavailable physical memory and only about half of the 512 mb virtualmemory available. The shared video card takes the RAM down to 191 megs. Even when I disable every single file under Startup (msconfig)it only raises the available memory to about 26 mb. So, with virtually nothing running I have about a 75 percent memory load. Can this possibly all be attributed to Windows XP?
I realize there are other processes running in the background but I am not sure how and what to do about them. And virtualy all of them seems to be windows files. Should I just add another 256 mb of ram and not worry about it?
I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE A100 LAPTOP. PART NUMBER, PSAA8C-SK800E. It is not even a year old however i want to do a clean install of WINDOWS XP. The problem is, He nor I, never recieved a RECOVERY DVD when he originaly got this laptop last september. The laptop is still under warrenty until september 15th 2007, i just need to know how or where to get the recovery dvd. I searched the toshiba site, but i dont know where or what to do or go.
I have a Toshiba laptop that I would like to reinstall/restore to the factory delivered state so username wizard etc opens on next reboot. I don't have the recovery CD. There doesn't seem to be any EISA partition on the machine, but there is an I386 folder in C:, is that sufficient? Code: partition 1,C:(55GB)I386 TOSHIBA WINDOWSpartition 2, D: 55GB
laptop is about to get a bit of an overhaul. Extra RAM should be here tomorrow then I'm gonna wipe it and reinstall XP. It's an Equium A60 as far as I can work out (similar/same as a Satellite A60?) running XP home. She can't find the recovery disk (if it even has one?) and I only have XP Pro, Can I use my XP pro the same way as I would on a normal desktop? Stick the CD in and boot from it to install a fresh OS? Is there anything I need to look out for on a laptop?
I have a boot disk on cd,but my laptop wont boot from it.I have tried restarting it,and then pressing F1 and the delete buttons,to change the boot order but it doesnt take me to those options.What are the buttons to press other than the 2 mentioned ? Those keys always work on all my other pc's.Or do toshiba laptops not allow any changes to those items?
I have a toshiba laptop, it run XP pro, What I would like to do is add 2000 or xp pro onto a second partition, then at start up have the choice of which windows to use. I guess 2k should have been installed before xp, but I could use xp if this would allow me to do it, Any pointers in the right direction would be most helpfull.
I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite P20 (PSP26C-0JQRT7), it's running Windows XP Media Center. Even since my last windows update, it became awfully slow and it started giving me blue screen errors at boot time .once in a while. I would say that about 1 in 2 times, it wouldn't boot. Then I would try "last known good configuration" or just start normally and after a few tries, it would work. But since the last windows updates this morning (july 13th), I cannot boot without getting a blue screen error. The best I can do is boot in safe mode about once very two tries.
We have a two year old Toshiba laptop, my son tried to clean the screen and cracked it. I have about 2 inches that I can see.I want to connect it to an external monitor, when I hook it up, I can only see on the external screen until it boots up and then it clicks over to the lap top.
My boss has two laptops both toshiba his older one a satellite 1110 his daughter had being using and was full of junk he asked me to run the restore disk ive used the wrong disc I now have the corredt discs to hand including the windows xp start up. I also dowloaded a 6 disc floppy boot up for xp but cant get the laptop to boot into anything . Ive been into the bios and set and tried booting from both options but all i get is a screen giving me the option to start in safe mode and last know configuration when i choose safe mode i get a page of geek all starting with multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) WindowsSystem32Drivers all with different logs all ending in.
Where can I find drivers for my TOSHIBA laptop A135-S2286 mobo? I cant install the Radeon vid drivers for Xp Pro UNTIL I first install all the mobo drivers. CPUID gave me a cryptic Toshiba IAYAA brand mobo which I never heard of. I want to run XP Pro and right now the Device Manager shows NO vid display since the native vid driver is VGASave which sucks.
The computer has no driver cd with it a had to look for drivers on Toshiba support pages. I found the drivers that are supposed to work but still the sound is not working (seems like everything else does).I've tried both kinds of drivers that are available one was Realtek AC 97 something and the other one Sound MAX something none of them works anyway.
When I turn on the machine, the screen stay blank, no bios display, no windows boot logo, but the power light and hdd light flash away, AND once its up to the Welcome screen, the display kicks in and no further problems.She tells me it once did show a bios and Windows boot screen, and I can't seem to work out whats going on to blank the screen during this time. I can't even F2/F12 to a visible bios setup to see if its a setting, but I know its going in, because it stay blank forever
I had my Toshiba Tecra M5 laptop all set up to use when the time comes to go in a home.I was downloading Microsoft updates last night rather lenghty download so I stepped away for a moment to watch a little TV. Well during the download the battery ran out. I plugged in the power thinking that the PC would continue with the download but no the only way to shut it down was to pull the plug. I then plugged in the power and the download did start but froze when about half finished. Only option was to pull the plug again.
got a toshiba laptop approximatley 3 years old. His keyboard is 101/102 and working correctly in the control panal, however, the @ sign is in the wrong place as is the " and i can't find the sign at all, i'm sure we used to move these at work for a joke but i can't find out how to do it. Just to clarify the print on the buttons of the keyboard isn't what it type when you press the buttons @ = shift 2 " = shift 'if i go into character maps it shows them in the above places but i can't amend
I want to reinstall Windows XP on our Toshiba laptop but I don't want to reinstall from the Toshiba disks due to the bloatware that the disks installs (like the disk utility, antivirus, etc software). I'd like to install the OS from a Microsoft Windows XP CD but wondered if the Microsoft disk would even install onto the Toshiba and if so, would the laptop function properly? Thanks.
Computer boots to blue screen after showing Windows splash screen and then immediately restarts. Windows Stop code 0X0000007E (0X80000003, 0X805C370C, 0XBACCB2B4, 0XBACCAFB0). Computer will not boot in safe mode or last known good configuration. I have decided that I will need to reload windows but have several very important files on hard drive that I need to get off first. As it stands, I have 2.5" drive loaded into external hard drive enclosure. Only problem is that 2.5" drive has drive letter of C: like every other computer I have in my house. Is there anyway to change this letter to view files via usb enclosure? Any way to change drive path of C: volume on any other computer?
I am trying to upgrade my laptop to Windows 2000. Once the OS was loaded I have two PCI slots not not recognized. I tried to put a Netgear Card into the slot and it did not work so I went to Device Manager. It gave me a PCI ?. I dont know where to get a driver for the PCI slots because I dont know there names. What do I do?
My Laptop was working just fine last evening, and this am is now not booting successfully.Once powered off, when the on button is pressed, the following message appears."We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change may have caused this. etc, etc."
When safe mode is pressed, a bunch of prompts run, and then it freezes. You must then shut off the PC and then restart to get back to the menu choices. Another message we see now is General help in the Bios. "Set up systems behavior by modifying the bios configuration. Selecting incorrect values may cause system boot failure; load setup default values to recover

So, a friend is looking to get a new laptop with a 17" display. I found this Toshiba Satellite model at BestBuy for $699: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1212192350169It comes with Windows Vista pre-installed. I went to the Toshiba support page for the laptop and found only ONE Windows XP driver and that's for the built-in modem. The bulk of the drivers are for Vista.What would the chances of actually getting Windows XP to fully function on this laptop? Where would I go for XP drivers for things like the ATI video adapter, the network adapters (Wi-Fi and Ethernet), and so on?
Toshiba Laptop My buddy just came over and has his Toshiba Laptop and it is having a blue screen stop error. Wanna see if we can get some help.He has windows 2000.you turn it on and it goes through every thing and then you put your password in and get to the desk top and all that is ok, when you click to get on the internet it would flash a blue screen and then shutdown. I went into system and advanced and unchecked auto reboot so now it doesn't shut down but you get the blue screen and you can't go anywhere when it comes up.

I just bought a new laptop with XP Home and I'd like to use the same XP Pro upgrade disk that I used for the desktop to upgarde the laptop.
