Boot to USB not working - Toshiba Windows XP

508 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  plodr
I have a Toshiba satellite that originally came with XP. I updated it to windows 10 using usb, however it wasn’t functioning correctly so I found a XP iso online and started to install that back onto the laptop using USB. It is halfway through an install and it tells me there are missing files. I want to boot to vista and I have iso on a USB and it says my PC is compatible. When I try to boot to usb I get a white line in the top left hand corner then it boots to XP. I have tried :

- Changing operating Systems on the USB

- Changing USB ports

-Changing USB’s

I have also asked Microsoft support who couldn’t help so I’m hoping someone on here might be able to help. Feel free to ask questions to further your answers.

Thanks
Toshiba satellite
Lot's of different ones
Model number?
I found a XP iso online
I wouldn't trust any online iso for XP. MS removed all iso files below Windows 8.1

Have you contacted Toshiba to see if you can get a copy of XP with the drivers that was installed on your computer?
There is also no direct upgrade path from XP to Windows 10. I'm not surprised that it wasn't working correctly.
