Conversion of Vista/XP on R61 problem

Hi all!

It's my first time here and I really hope that someone will be able to solve my problem because I'm already desperate.

Recently, I bought the Thinkpad R61, model NF5DEPB with Windows Vista professional. I met problems with connecting to network wi - fi, an essential software for me did not work so I decided to convert it into Xp Pro. I have 3 CDs, labeled:

-Rescue and recovery CD for use with Microsoft Windows XP

-Product recovery CD

-Complementary product recovery CD

I followed the instructions provided by Microsoft Windows XP inserted, Rescue and Recovery CD Manual Conversion Kit, he opened a workspace, choose options were slightly different than the one given in the manual, but I chose the one that was the most appropriate in my opinion, kept pressing Next and then he asked a second CD (manual says it would be extra recovery disk) , I inserted it and it didn't recognize it. Then it does not recognize any CD of these 3, then in system information, I noticed that my HARD drive is off somehow, I can not boot from anything else that this workspace, the CD of rescue and recovery always opens, I can not restore any system, I can not finish installing impossible to reinstall Vista yet once, unable to restore the original settings HARD drive coz it tells me I have no HARD drive and I have no idea what to do now.

Is it possible to solve this problem, or only support can help me now?

I'd appreciate any help!

Good, solved =)

It turns out that there was some kind of a bug during reboot and the conversion could not continue, I had to repeat all several times until finally a way this has worked.

  • Satellite A200 - PSAF6A Vista: HDMI video resolution problem

    Hello

    Bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 recently, with a HD2600. Because I can't find an APA Help Forum, I hope someone can help me here.

    I have the following problem.
    I use another manufacturer AL2216W (the only available driver is for XP, which I installed it on Vista Ultimate without any problems) widescreen 22'.

    The monitor is capable of displaying 1680 x 1050 (60 Hz). If I connect it to the analog port of the laptop, I can select the resolution and it works very well.

    If I connect it to (via a DVI - D to HDMI Cable adapter) HDMI port on my laptop, the highest resolution is only 1440 x 900. I already installed the drivers several times, but it does not show the resolution 1680 in digital mode.

    The strange thing is that the monitor is correctly identified with the resolution to 1680 x 1050.

    I use the extended view option, since I want to use both screens.

    Thank you

    What do you think of technical requirements?
    Maybe the graphics card does not offer this resolution for HDMI port. I don't think you can solve this problem with the latest driver from Toshiba. I know that you want to have the digital signal, but if nothing works try to use this adapter.

  • Vista/XP Home network problems

    I created home network a few weeks ago.  I have a desktop computer THAT XP (old) with a local cable/network connected to a router for my laptop Vista wireless.  While I can get on the Internet and connectivity shows very well, Web pages are slow to load on both machines and I'm unable to download mail from my ISP to my laptop unless I have first download it on the XP desktop.  This problem exists since the network was created.  It is a private network and I tried the two disabiling and allowing the network discovery and sharing in network and sharing Center.  WHY I can't download my mail on my laptop and why are computers so painfully slow now?

  • After installing Vista Ultimate, thinkpad r61 connection Wi - Fi doesn't work do not

    installed vista ultimate, now Wireless does not, ethernet not tho, thinkpad r61, had professional vista prior to upgrade, wireless worked fine, wireless adapter: wifi link 4965 AGN, yes a driver updated, done Yes ms dignostics, 1 other thing tho, cannot turn on the wireless radio.

    Wireless connection not working do not, after installing windows Ultimate edition, may depend on a wireless radio.

    Disable anti-virus and firewall (for now) and check if it's anti virus causing the problem.

    Another thing, you can try:

    Uninstall the card drivers wireless network from the Device Manager , restart the computer and let the operating system to install the generic drivers.

    Wireless works fine now?

    Now, visit the support IBM (drivers and downloads) page, enter your model number and download the drivers wireless on your desktop.

    FYI, here is the link:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67856

    Install the drivers in administrator mode.

    P.S Make sure wi - fi on the laptop button is turned on...

  • Tecra S1: Cannot install Windows Vista - ACPI.sys driver problem

    Get the blue screen when you try to install Vista Ultimate edition on my Tecra S1--> STOP... ACPI.sys incompatibility.

    Someone knows how to fix this problem and where can I find an update for this driver?
    I already have the latest version of the BIOS (2.50) and don't see any driver update on the Toshiba site...

    Someone at - it already correctly installed Vista on this type of laptop?

    Hello, Johnny

    Robin is quite right. Tecra S1 is a portable older and certainly not Vista supported. As you know just for laptop with Vista capable sticker are supported Vista and Toshiba offer a BIOS update to make it Vista ready.

    I recommend you to use Windows XP Home as before. Optimize Windows XP Home edition preinstalled and you will have very good performance on this laptop more old.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L20 running Vista has the formidable problem code 12

    I try to get my L20 to use all cards PCMCIA with Vista, but I get the dreaded 12 code problem.
    Y at - it a patch for this problem? I know some Toshiba must have a Vista BIOS works correctly, but there doesn't seem to be one for the L20.

    P.S. cards will work perfectly under XP. Server 2008 also has the same problem.

    You should maybe contact the card manufacturer and ask for help. They are responsible for the functionality of the card and not the manufacturer of the laptop.
    They write clearly that it should work with Vista. So contact them and ask for help.
    They should have enough experience with the configuration and the use of own products.

    Also, I assume that they tested the functionality of the map before they we offered on the market.

  • Satellite A200-1AE (PSAECE) Vista has detected a problem with the HARD drive

    Hello

    The first error message said nothing; He only says that something is wrong on the HARD drive.
    Why you n t pres the button Don t ask me once again this problem?
    It seems the message again using this option?

    On the second picture, I see that your Intel Matrix Storage Manager has not been installed on your Vista 64 bit OS.

    On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find the 64 bit Vista drivers. Please download the Intel Robson Package from this site and install it. Robson package includes Intel Matrix Storage Management Utility for the management of your local storage space.

  • PSC photoSmart 2410 - Vista - a LOT of problems

    Hello - I am trying to help a friend, and I'd like YOUR help!  :-)

    Printer: HP PhotoSmart PSC 2410

    System: Windows Vista (G - help us)

    PROBLEMS:

    1. it seems that since Vista was installed on XP (a year ago) the printer will not print or copy in B & W

    One exception - unit would BE printing when printing from the program of electronic messaging - but nothing else!

    (I ran the printer head cleaning and re-alignments unit and clean the cartridge by hand - it seems in good condition)

    (I got tones of gray when you print the page example of Unity)

    -Could there be a connection with the installation of Vista, as it seems?

    -What else could prevent B & W print and copy on this unit?

    2. the analysis unit also is more - unit printer says to set up the printer on the computer software, but, obviously, it isn't any Vista software for the printer.

    3. my friend tried to reinstall XP drivers - which seems to have wiped out the Vista drivers - when I try to have Vista restores the drivers, it fails to do anything!

    (I unplug the printer, shut down printer, restart Vista, restart the printer, connect printer--> nothing happens.)

    There's something else I should do - why aren't installing Vista drivers?

    -Are there something short of reinstalling Vista, can I do to get generic drivers for Vista working again?

    Y at - THERE * ANY * DRIVER - HP or third-party THAT WILL GET A VISTA SYSTEM WORKING WITH THIS DEVICE?

    Thank you.

    OK - I've had more time to return to the House of my friend today to solve this problem.

    The two main symptoms:

    (1) do not copy

    (2) do not print with the exception of a web browser

    BOTH are down to a bad toner B & W cartridge.

    The thing was fairly new, and the ink was still pretty busy. I had cleaned the heads and ink flowed easily from the cartridge - maybe it was the oxidation of the contacts or broken connectivity.

    The * full * lack of impression after an attempt to install XP drivers was not related to this attempt, but the USB cable on the device after loosening.

    Once the USB cable is properly plugged in and installed a new black cartridge, of the test pages worked, copy worked at B & W color and printing applications worked.

    FINALLY - functions of scanner was enabled using VueScan ($40).

    THUS, in addition to the fax functions (I don't have time too check and that my friend does not use), this of HP PSC Photosmart 2410 is now fully functional.

    Isn't * that that HP get away for failing to update the drivers for units like this - they still let us lower notes in this regard, for this unit.

    Thanks to those who tried to help!

  • Windows Vista Home Premium update problem step 3 of 3-100% complete

    My Windows Vista Home Premium began the automatic update, reached the point of view "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-100% complete.". Do not turn off your computer. »

    Now he's just running for hours with this screen showing...

    I can't say if this update will end finally alone, or if there is a problem and I should just reboot.

    How long should I wait before abandoning me and shut down the computer?

    Thank you.

    Hi JIB1955,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    It's been a while, we can think that the update is stuck and will not continue any further.  You can press Ctrl, Alt & Del and open Task Manager.  You should see the update on the Application tab, and you can select it and press end task.
    Click on the start ORB > Control Panel > programs and features, on the left, select view installed updates and see if the update that was being Setup finished installing.  If it does not have and does not appear on the list, you can restart your computer and try to install the update mode without failure.

    To do this, restart your pc and even if your pc is booting press the key F8 on your keyboard to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
    Your computer will boot mode safe by using only the basic drivers and services, hopefully allowing Windows Update to complete the installation of the update, you are having problems with.

    Please let us know if you make any progress this way

  • Halo 2 on Vista Home Basic, lag problem, ati raedon hd 4650

    k, im having some problems with halo 2 for vista. I bought the game off of ebay, less than a week ago. the installation went well, that I chose to wait until after that she installed to play halo 2. but as soon as I started the game, I noticed a slight jolt every second or two. When I actually played the game it was worse. It was not the normal kind of LAG that slows just your framerate altogether, it was as if I was getting excellent and left images falling for about 1 second and then got great fps again for 2 sec then droppped to 1. It was very difficult to actually shoot and kill the enemies, I still managed to get 5 achievements far however.

    My my pc specs are:

    ATI raedon HD 4650 (TOTALLY should be able to handle Halo 2, no problem)

    8 GB of ram (no problem either)

    4x2.4 gHz AMD phenom 9750. (no problem at all! unless the clock speed is a little slow, nuclei form for this)

    my pc however, gets a total score of 5.1, with the highest tier in cpu with 5.9.

    Please, please tell me how I can solve this problem, I left EVERYTHING until I opened the game (in the task monitor, took off from all processes that were losing cpu) I reinstalled the drivers, I installed x 9 direct because I heard 10 was bugged, ive done everything I can I know. so please let me know what I can do to solve this problem. it sucks to waste money on a good computer and a good game, when none of them is working properly!

    p.s

    I note also that no matter how high or low, I put the resoultion or graphics settings, it continues to lag, the game itself is not late I just think for some reason has a vista problem it works correctly.

    Hello, have you tried the patch by renegade?

  • Halo 2 Vista on Windows 7 problems: LIVE service may be unavailable, or something something something network.

    Sorry for the vague description of the context menu I get, but I recently (a few months ago) got an Asus G73JH - RBBX05 laptop Windows 7 64-bit games and I ordered Halo 2 Vista if I could play multiplayer fun. Soon, I encountered many problems play.

    My first problem is that I got a popup saying there was an update that should be installed, and when I chose 'Yes', he waited for a while and then said "the update could not be downloaded.

    I CORRECTED THIS (hard to believe) ME by going to the site of Halo 2 Vista and download the manual patch. After that, I had no longer the popup. Unfortunately, I had one OTHER PROBLEM that I still have trouble.

    Now when I press home and connect to my account LIVE, IvanTheBrutal, (gold) he's going to the ' download profile. It may take a few minutes.' phase.

    Capitalized for emphasis...

    AFTER A WAIT OF A FEW SECONDS, I GET A POPUP SAYING "THE SERVICE MAY BE UNAVAILABLE, OR SOMETHING THE NETWORK SOMETHING".

    I tried this method of 8 steps of fixing (I found it here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistagaming/thread/ba12104b-87f2-4b4d-81e0-9466ae91bf5d)

    It did not work. Nothing is changed.

    I have the latest version of the GFWL client (which doesn't seem to be the problem.) I tried to disable Kaspersky, download to bypass the problem and method of 8 steps, I spoke earlier. Nothing has failed.

    If someone could help me with this problem, so I can play Halo 2 multiplayer LIVE Vista, I appreciate it.
