• Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

  I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
  I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

  However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
  Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

  Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
  Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

  I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

  If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

  That's your problem.  You will need to determine which makes your wireless card, go to their website and download the latest driver for 64-bit Windows 7 32 0r according to your material.  If its inbult to your computer, visit vender of your computer (HP, Toshiba, etc) for the correct driver.

• Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8

  Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

  Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.

  I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
  -Disable secure boot
  -Change UEFI CSM support
  -Save

  On reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:

  «This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)

  Realtek...

  PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
  "No boot device - insert boot and press a key.

  I can't open the Bios again at F2.

  Which I recover the system?

  Hello

  The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

  Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

  That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
  But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

  If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
  Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

  Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
  Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
  Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

  Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

• Question about Portege 2000 boot with Linux

  Hello world

  My Portege 2000 PIII 750 MHz, 512 RAM, 20 GB is just driving me crazy. I would try to install Linux and downloaded some distributions to try it. By the way, I use an external CD/DVD player, with a 16-bit pc card connector cable. Starts the startup until the BIOS is involved, but when it gets to the pilots being involved, start crashes, with each distribution, except of course to win XP, with which he moved perfectly.

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I would really like something lighter than Windows XP Home edition on my machine. THX!

  Hello

  I do not have this Portege, but I know that the recovery Toshiba (WXP) image contains the external driver for ODD and installation can be done without any problem.

  Maybe you can find some useful tips in http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html

• Dual-Boot Pavilion dv6 does not work

  Hello

  I bought a Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 pre-installed. Now I want to dual-boot with Linux (Fedora).

  (1) this laptop has a 500 GB hard drive. So, using diskmgmt.msc, I shrunk the size of the primary partition by about 100 GB. Now, I have that much free space.

  (2) figured out the magic handshake to get the BIOS to run (the F10 hold to power up).

  (3) connected the DVD of the Fedora Installer. He settled in saying that there is not enough space. Tried several options for installation in 'free space' and 'replace existing Linux installation. Same question. Note that I have not yet tried Ubuntu.

  (4) booted back to Windows 7, looked again diskmgmt.msc. I noticed that I have the following partitions. 'System', which is 200 MB (NTFS), player C which is now 351 GB (NTFS), D drive Recovery 13 GB (NTFS), HP tools 103 MB (FAT32). Here are the possible question, all these partitions are listed as "primary". I read somewhere that there may be only 4 primary partitions (it can be extended partitions).

  My questions are:

  (1) is the fact that all primary readers are allocated to preventing me to install a secondary operating system (in this case Linux)?

  (2) if so, what are the disadvantages of the removal of the partition of HP tools (except perhaps less boring tools automatically runs all the time - with no apparent way to stop).

  Thanks for your interest.

  I've heard nothing back for 20 days, which raises the question to know if HP support people even read this, much less provide support on this forum. In any case, I managed to run dual-boot on mine. I hope this helps someone out there doing similar things. Here are the steps that I had to do (and some I do not have):

  1. Created the HP recovery discs... Well I tried to anyway. This process is configured to do one time only. Unfortunately burning failed on the first (I put by mistake a double layer DVD-R in the drive, but the drive itself is supported) and burning failed, but the process seems to still consider that he "get". Bottom line, if I ever corrupted hard drive, I'm out of luck (unless a HP support person has other suggestions).
  2. Bought a 1 TB external drive which has an ESATA interface with intention to save the different partitions of Windows.
  3. I bought Nero 9, which is supposed to make backups. However, he seems to have a bug where it said that I could not make a backup disk of an account that does not have administrator rights. The account I was using has Admin rights, so I guess that the program cannot handle permissions Windows 7 style yet.
  4. Defragmented the big drive (351 GB) C.
  5. Using diskmgmt.msc, used the "shrink" option to reduce its size to 351 GB GB 251, who did not assigned 100 GB on the disk.
  6. Using diskmgmt.msc, assigned a drive letter to the partition of HP tools (see the list of partitions in the previous post).
  7. Using Windows Explorer, tools HP Score Watch now upward because he received a drive letter (it was not visible before). I copied the contents of HP tools in a folder on the C drive, just in case I needed to get it back. It's only a few MBs.
  8. Once again using diskmgmt.msc, deleted the partition of HP tools. This frees up a single primary partition on the disk.
  9. Rebooted the laptop from the Fedora 12 installation disc. Now grub / gparted is happy because he is free to use partition.
  10. Chose to install grub on the MBR, definition of Win 7 as the default bootloader on the player option.
  11. Completed the full installation of Fedora.

• Satellite U940-103 with Linux - Touchpad does not & poorly programmed FN keys

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba Satellite U940-103, and I installed ubuntu 13,10 dual boot with windows 8.1.

  The problem is that the touchpad is not working and the fn are false (fn f2 key suspend the computer instead of the brightness control).

  I tried to install linux different sistem (Mint cinnamon 15, 13.04 ubuntu, ubuntu 12.04.3) but they still have the same problem, even in the live cd.

  I tried to ask the Italian Forum of ubuntu, but they have solutions do not work...

  Thanks for the help
  Yun

  * PS.* sorry for my bad English. Is it normal that my laptop seems overheated and my battery life seems to be reduced when I use Linux?

  Hello

  Yes, you're right!
  In the direct (stable mode without having to install), the touchpad does not work.

  However, once installed, it will work.

  In regards to shortcut keys, yes they are mapped correctly.
  They are treated to the old-fashioned way (former Toshiba models had the mapping used by Linux on this model).
  If you want help, file a bug report on bugs to Ubuntu system.

  You can always change the brightness by using the GUI (Control Panel > brightness & Lock).

  Fun with Ubuntu on your device!

• Dual boot with Windows 7 and LINUX - Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 005-00L)

  Hello

  I bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. I want to install LINUX also. This means that I want to run my laptop in dual boot Win7 Pro/LINUX (a Distributor). Please tell me how to do this.

  There are 5 partitions on the HARD disk:
  1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
  3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
  4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
  5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Hey, I need because I was admitted to a course of RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer)

  Please help me

  Hello

  I can't give you a step by step explanation, but most distributions offer today a possibility to coexist with Windows.
  When installing the unused free space will be taken by Linux (with the consent of the user of course!)

  What exact configuration you need is impossible for someone else to say, but I would say to make the space occupied by the F player available for Linux.
  You seem to have of enough space for Windows and Linux operating system doesn't have much.

  Some thoughts about setting up your score:

  I touch NOT 1,2 and 5 no matter what. They are your system and a system of internal partitions (recovery and data environment) and wouldn't it be fun to lose.

  1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
  3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
  4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
  5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Then choose a Distro (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and OpenSuse - suggestion Fedora will be as close as possible associated with RedHat) that will guide you in the steps to allocate space for Linux.
  I suggest however to remove the disk F in Windows for Linux does not start from resizing all partitions.
  I do not know which works perfectly, but will just take time, and will most probably remain pretty useless drive F.

  If you have valuable data on your device, make sure to save! No software comes with warranty :)
  Last but not least - make 100% sure to create a collection set using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator before you start the installation of Linux.
  If something goes wrong you have the opportunity to put the unit in factory condition.

  Good luck and keep asking you if you need extra help!
