  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

• Portege 3440CT: how to install Windows?

  Hello!

  I had this problem: my portege has no windows on it, because a fully formatted person its hard disk to an external pc a long time ago.

  Could someone give me some advice how to put windows on it?

  Post edited by: kokalz

  Hello!

  For this, you can use the Microsoft installation disc. I put t know what OS you want, but put the disc in the CD drive, boot from it and the installation begins.
  After installation, you can begin to install the drivers you can download from the Toshiba site in * Archives *.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Maybe you can get a recovery disk Toshiba an ASP or eBay. The Toshiba Recovery disk contains factory settings and you need to download and install each driver. It does not take as long as the disc of Microsoft.

• How to install Windows OS pre-installed Mac OS?

  Hello

  I've never used a MAC OS and eventually I m not really useful, but I think you need to create a new partition on your PC.
  Then you could boot from the Windows XP disc and need to follow the installation instructions until you get the window where you could choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.
  Choose the partition that you created in MAC OS and format it in NTFS file format. Then install Win XP.

  If you created the recovery disc you can format the HARD drive by using one of the available options (erase the hard drive) - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm
  In the case you want to use the installation of Microsoft at the beginning of the installation disc disc HARD current will be shown. You have the option to delete existing partitions, create new partitions and install the Windows operating system.

  I read somewhere that I need to download SATA drivers for my laptop and do a disc to install windows xp with the SATA drivers on it?

  I tried to get these drivers, but I don't know that I have need and how to do the installation disc
  I copy my original windows XP Home cd and put the drivers in a folder somewhere on the disk?

  I hope someone can resolve my problem because the laptop is just over a year, and I don't really want to buy a new...

  I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs until you started to install own OS. After clean operating system installation you not longer have access to data recovery.

  You are right. For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. How to install Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

  In the end, I must say that your last sentence is pretty confusing to me. You bought the laptop designed for Win7 and you want to use the old WXP on this. Do you really think you need to buy the new laptop if you want to install Windows XP Home edition?

• HARD drive failure, I would like to know how to get Windows 7 return on it.

  Hello everyone, I had a HARD drive problem lately, but before moving on to describe my problem, here are the specifications of my laptop:

  HP Pavilion dv6 - 3264-ca

  AMD Dual-Core 2.2 Ghz processor

  6 GB OF RAM

  128 MB ATI graphics card

  750 GB Toshiba HDD

  Windows 7 64 bit

  The question:

  Recently, I had a HARD drive failure very unhappy. The recovery partition is not even load. I tried to boot my laptop with Linux with the HARD drive always attached, and it would not read. I pulled the HARD drive and placed in a box drive HARD and he would not yet be supported on Windows XP or Vista or 7. However, it would read in Windows Device Manager as well as in the BIOS.

  I need to extract some data priority there so I managed to recover all my data safe with a data recovery service, but now the drive is rendered useless. I was told a low-level format might be able to help him to be usable again, and if that were to happen, would then disappear the recovery partition in the process.

  In addition, I would like to install Windows 7 64 bit on the disk, but the box your laptop came with an installation CD, which is quite frustrating. Is he that sort of HP can let me download Windows 7 through any warranty service?

  I have a one year warranty on my laptop.

  In closing, I would like to know if I can get back Windows 7 on my HARD drive for free, or if I have to go to buy new Windows 7.

  All the tips of your kind people?

  Hello

  Here are two options.

  1. if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit it is the version of exact details you need.

  If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key is located on the underside of your laptop when asked and once installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM Windows installations.

  http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

  Additional drivers, you may need can be found here.

  2 you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - these costs about $30 if you live in the United States.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

• How to replace Windows 8 with Windows 7 on a Compaq CQ58

  Hello!

  Yesterday, I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it. I would buy Windows 7 to replace Windows 8 with. But:

  1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58?

  2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject?

  3 and if so, how?

  When you request support, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

  The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. Please see How can I find my model number or product number? for help more to find this information. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

  

  1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58? YES, it is probably possible to install Windows 7 on your computer.

  2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject? NO.

  3 and if so, how?

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

  

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  From the top...

  (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

  3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

  4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

  5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

  (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

  (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

  (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

  (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

  11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

  (12) you may need to provide Intel or AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...

  (13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

  (14) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

  (15) download and install the drivers from the support page for your computer.

  After installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (text only) for all other devices missing or unknown as illustrated in the example below.

  

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
