Posted: 16-Sep-2011 15:39

Hi people

I have been using Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D-12X. But because it’s been running very slow I decided to put windows xp on it.

So I have put the disk in two set windows xp up and when it gets two the part were I need press enter a blue screen comes on. I have checked the laptop and its all okay I have even took the HD out set windows xp up with it on some over pc and it works fine.

But as soon as i put the HD back in my laptop it won’t load up are anything... IF someone can help me with this it will be a great help.

Thank you very much for taking the time two read this.

At first I must say that your notebook is designed for Win7 and maybe you should continue to use Win7. Problem is that notebook with factory settings is pretty slow but it can be changed. What you need is to optimize preinstalled Win7. Check this forum and you will find many threads with good and detailed description what can be done about it.

According notebook specification your notebook is delivered with WIN7 32BIT PROFESSIONAL & XP DVD.
Do you have problems when you try to use this WXP DVD that you got with your notebook?

Yes you can install WINXP, the only thing is to change in the BIOS settings AHCi to SATA compatible mode. That's it.

Yeah praspec. This will help but I don’t think HDD will work with full speed and full performance without SATA driver. What do you think about it?

yes i agree, but i personally encountered and used, but not much difference except if you copy a file which is more than 5GB the waiting time will be little bit more.
