Cannot install Windows 7 on the computer

Hi my name is Mauricio Osorio, recently, I tried to install Windows 7 on my computer, but it does not work, then I tried to re - install my Windows 8.1 license, but my computer has two drives, all first it's a ssd (Solid disc) and the other is sata, the most common of the disc type. My problem is: I don't know how to use this because it is so small (25 GB) ssd drive, but it is really fast, I tried to install Windows on it, but is so small and it does not work. What should I do?

If as you indicate the SSD is small it almost certainly was not used as a disk operating system, but as a buffer high speed for the main SATA drive.

The factory restore should recover the disks in the correct way before you tried to install Windows 7, you have created the.

If you want to set this function yourself then how exactly depends on the chipset. With the driver Intel Smart Response Technology, you will need to install Windows on the SATA drive then in the driver control panel define the SSD as its buffer.

  • Cannot install windows XP on the Satellite Pro A200-1N2

    Jin

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. I downgraded the bios to V5.30 but still cannot install windows xp and there is still no optin for SATA in the bios.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Did you install the SATA drivers first?
    You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

    You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

    You must perform the installation of an external USB FDD drive using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.

  • Cannot install Windows 8 on the replacement hard drive

    I got the replacement from Dell hard drive which he said would come with Windows 8 and pre-installed drivers. Well, I installed the hard drive and he said no. OS can be found. I didn't have a chance to make my own backup discs, but Dell sent a CD Windows 8 recovery media with the laptop and now with the replacement hard drive.

    When you try to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive, I get to the part where it tells me to choose a partition to install Windows 8 on and none of them will not let me. There are 5 to choose from and I don't know what to do to get past this. The largest partition either 5A about 934 GB of space left out of 1 TB, but as I said I can't choose it or one of the other ones for the installation.

    You just have to click on next, in any case, despite the message?  Otherwise:

    Start on the DVD of Windows 8, instead of install now, click repair your computer, Advanced Options, invites ... when it opens, type the following:

    DiskPart
    Select disk 0
    clean

    Then, try to install.

    The above will remove all the data partition and disk, allowing you to do a clean install on an empty drive (these scores are not required, and Windows will create its own partitions (two) he needs to install and run).

  • Cannot install Windows XP on the Qosmio F50-108

    I got the Qosmio F50-108 with Vista.

    I dislike Vista so I tried to install XP.
    Unfrtunatelly, I get a BSOD every time XP takes over for the first time (startup). Usually, when there is a problem of sata, XP tells you while there's no HARD drive, but I do not get this message, I get a BSOD.
    I don't know why there is no support for XP in fact I know that Microsoft paid toshiba to stop supporting Windows XP.

    Is the thing that drives me crazy, YOU CAN INSTALL WIN XP ON EVERY APPLE COMPUTER MACINTOSH, but you can't do it with a Toshiba.

    I know that there is a possibility, I know that an update of the bios might help, but toshiba does not.
    Dear Sirs to Toshiba, I know you know what I have to do in order to get XP running on a Toshiba computer, so please, help me.

    Hi guys

    You can install XP on each laptop Toshiba. But you knew how! : D

    Your Windows XP CD must contain the SP2. This is important because the new laptops no matter which manufacturer need SP2 patches due to some hardware compatibility issues!
    Without the SP2, you will receive a BSOD!

    Then, the new notebooks support SATA drives hard and new SATA controllers!
    Windows XP and Vista operating systems do not contain the SATA drivers, and therefore you must include first before running the installer of the OS.
    Or you can disable the SATA in the BIOS. You will need to switch from AHCI to compatibility mode.

    Then, you must install the XP window successfully.

    So finally, I must say that I really don't understand these comments like this:
    > Is the thing that drives me crazy, YOU CAN INSTALL WIN XP ON EVERY APPLE COMPUTER MACINTOSH, but you can't do it with a Toshiba.
    OK, I see you're frustrated because you cannot install the operating system, but he must know that this is not a problem of laptop, but it is only a case or a knowledge!
    So maybe you should learn more about new technologies and you'll know how things are working. ;)

    To all here-> greetings & peace;)

  • Cannot install Windows XP after the purchase of disk

    I put the disk for Windows xp, but cannot be installed

    You should really start a new thread on this question of yours.  I'll send a message to the moderator to separate this question from this old thread and create a new one for you.

    In any case, if you have installed vista, xp will not be able to install automatically. It's because you try to downgrade your computer.

    However, if the computer already had xp on the computer, and then you could upgrade to vista automatically.

    You'd have to do is to format the hard disk in the first place, until xp can be reinstalled.

    But there may be another problem for you at this time.

    You see, if you have a computer that has been designed to use vista then xp is maybe not able to work on this computer.   You will have to go place of origin of the computer and see if your machine has hardware drivers that can be used by xp.  In others, you should check if there are drivers xp for your computer model.

    If this is not the case, then it means that your computer cannot start xp, even if you reformat the hard drive and install a new copy of xp on it.

    Method 1

    See the link below and run the troubleshooter of audio playback, check if it helps.

  • Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

    Hello here is my problem,

    I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
    So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

    Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
    Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

    Thank you Carsten
    (Sorry my English is not so good Im from the Germany)

    Wilkommen!

    > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

    I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then

  • Cannot install Windows 7 from the external DVD

    I got the Macbook Pro 13 "Early. 2011 Super DVD player has been broken. So, I bought a new hard drive (750 GB) and the original hard drive (320 GB). I change the position of the hard disk, I put 750 GB as the first hard drive and 320 GB as a second hard drive (by using the drive caddy).

    Presentation of the boot - you need an optical drive to install windows, so I plug my external DVD and put it inside the Windows 7 Installer, click on continue.

    Create or remove a Windows Partition - I select Macintosh HD (750 GB) and create a second partition for Windows, press to continue.

    Create a Partition for Windows - resize the disk partition of 750 GB became 498 for OS X and 250 GB for Windows. Tap on install.

    Partition drive...

    After the system restart and boot from external DVD

  • Cannot install Paintbrush program on the computer.

    Original title: Install Paintbrush.

    I am running XP Professional. I want to install the paintbrush program, but when I go into the control panel and try to install it, the Add/Remove Windows components does not find the file. I tried to use the home edition of XP and it did not find the file either. How can I install the brush on my computer.

    Do you mean "Paint" rather than Paintbrish, i.e. the standard program bundled with Windows XP?

    In Add/Remove Windows components, you must click the button of Details for accessories and utilities, then the Details button for accessories. Paint should be registered.

    Hey mileycbond

    If vista is already preinstalled contact your computer manfacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disks to do a clean install of vista

    and perhaps for do you to save the purchase of recovery disks ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista back to factory standards
