    ok..that's helpful...

    can we assume the batteries are fully charged? take it out, and run on house power, during the install, and let me know if it happens still..

    good..hope that helped you..and you enjoy the ride.

    got backup for that Toshiba?

  • Anonymous Feb 19, 2008

    ok..battery out..and it's still doing it? my supposition is that you have either an unhappy motherboard, or your processor/memory are overheating, and shutting down the system..can you boot from install disk?

How to install XP in toshiba Satellite L45-S7423 laptop

You cannot uninstall Windows Vista, but you can reinstall your previous operating system, which then replaces Windows Vista. To reinstall your old operating system, you must have the original installation disc. Back up your programs and files, insert the installation disc into your computer, and then reinstall the old operating system. To regain the hard disk space used by Windows Vista, reformat the disk during the reinstallation process. After reinstalling your previous operating system, reinstall your programs and files.

Laptop

Hi

U can install the windows in laptop also.. But with one condition that u do not connect the laptop to the internet.. If u want to connect means u have to turnoff the automatic updates in ur computer.. My best suggestion is u buy a laptop with preloaded OS.. Because Windows XP home edition will not support some options.. Better u buy a preloaded laptop..
