How to install Windows XP onto a newly formatted hard drive for a Portege 200 laptop?
Download and install the latest bios update form Toshiba (use a USB floppy drive to install)
after update the Portage will find and boot from a USB dvd/cd drive and will install XP or other operating system. Be patient the first part of the install goes very slowly.
Put winxp cd in tray
at boot up press F12 - right-arroweto CD icon --> Enter
winxp should go into install
you'll probably need a version of winxp that can recognize Sata hdd. or hae sata drivers handy.
