SYMPTOMS
When you try to upgrade a Toshiba Satellite 5005-series portable computer from Windows XP Home Edition (OEM version) to Windows XP Professional, the computer may stop responding (&quot;hang&quot;). This generally occurs the first time the computer restarts during setup, at the Windows XP Professional splash screen.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if all the following conditions are true:
 * You use one of the following Toshiba 5005 series portable computers, and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Windows XP Home Edition is preinstalled on it:
 * Toshiba Satellite 5005-S504
 * Toshiba Satellite 5005-S507
 * You upgrade the OEM installation of Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP Professional.


 * The Smart media driver preinstalled by the manufacturer is enabled.
 * The Secure Digital (SD) driver preinstalled by the manufacturer is enabled.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, disable the currently installed OEM drivers for the SD card and Smart media controller before you run the upgrade. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Restart the computer to Windows XP Home Edition.
 * 2) In Control Panel, open the System tool.
 * 3) On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
 * 4) Expand the SD Card Controller node.
 * 5) Right-click TOSHIBA SD Card Controller Type A, and then click Disable. Click Yes when you are prompted to disable the device.
 * 6) Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers node.
 * 7) Right-click Toshiba PCI-0804 SmartMedia Host Controller, and then click Disable. Click Yes when you are prompted to disable the device.
 * 8) Insert the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (if it is not inserted already), and then run Setup to upgrade the computer to Windows XP Professional.
 * 9) After the upgrade process is completed, enable the devices in Device Manager.
