The setup loads the same regardless of if Vista is already installed. So if you format and remove Vista the XP setup will still show the same error message.<br /> Also, what site did you get the SATA driver from? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/i-try-all-your-comments-to-install-win-xp-on-my-toshiba-equium-l40#post-35065 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:51:38 +0000 wondecha 35065@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>DEAR jd2066<br /> i get "No hard drives found" message again and i used to select all the SATA driver with nlite.<br /> I am going to format the vista and install WIN XP only?<br /> will that be good </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/i-try-all-your-comments-to-install-win-xp-on-my-toshiba-equium-l40#post-34919 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:52:20 +0000 jd2066 34919@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>So you are no getting "No Hard Drives Found" again?

I also try to install it by booting from the cd but the Same F3....... message appears again.<br /> I am sure that the disk is burned properly.</p> <p>I think I am too close to the solution </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/i-try-all-your-comments-to-install-win-xp-on-my-toshiba-equium-l40#post-34805 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 06:10:44 +0000 wondecha 34805@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ok i wiill try it again </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/i-try-all-your-comments-to-install-win-xp-on-my-toshiba-equium-l40#post-34760 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:34:00 +0000 jd2066 34760@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I just did a Google search on "Data error(cyclic redunduncy)" and it appears the error maybe do to a problem with the disc.<br /> Check to see if the burned disc is ok. If it seems fine try burning another disc. Maybe the first one didn't burn correctly. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/i-try-all-your-comments-to-install-win-xp-on-my-toshiba-equium-l40#post-34704 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 05:51:45 +0000 wondecha 34704@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i am waiting for all of u patiently </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/i-try-all-your-comments-to-install-win-xp-on-my-toshiba-equium-l40#post-34322 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 06:01:45 +0000 wondecha 34322@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>dear pumpkinman,<br /> i also try the repair option and it is all the same.<br /> As per your advice, I will wait patiently.<br /> thank you for your advice </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/i-try-all-your-comments-to-install-win-xp-on-my-toshiba-equium-l40#post-34236 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:21:56 +0000 pumpkinman 34236@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>YOU CAN ONLY USE BIOS TO CHANGE BOOT MENU IF YOU ARE GETTTING A F3 THEN YOU MUST HAVE TRIED TO NSTALL THE CD AND DID NOT WORK SO WHEN YOU RETRY TRY THE REPAIR..BECAUSE IF THE CD HAS PARTIALLY INSTALLED IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY SO TRY TO DO THE REPAIR.. pLEAS BE PATIENT PATIENCE IS A VERTUE???
