How to install Ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite L670D-102

Hello

I tried to load Ubuntu 10.10 (tried the i386 and AMD64 platforms versions Desktop Edition) on a Satellite L670D-102 using a Live CD. The CD turns for a while, there is some activity on the hard drive and then I get a blinking white cursor (a hyphen) on a black screen. I left it overnight and it remained the same. I tried with "live" usb key and once again, no start. The CD and usb work in other machines running amd processors and intel.

The kind of questions that come to mind are:-
Is there a safety or other setting in the cmos memory which prevents the Windows loading anything?
Are Toshiba simply anti-Linux and I need a new machine?
Do I need a special bios to run Ubuntu?

Any help to resolve the issue would be welcome.

Large.
Thanks for the comments.

  • Satellite L300D-10B - how to install Ubuntu

    Hello. I recently bought a Satellite L300D-10B and I need to install Linux in dual boot in this laptop.

    Also, I don't want to lose utilities backup of the laptop has preinstalled, in case of emergency.
    Could someone be so kind and tell how to install Ubuntu 8.10 without having to lose the ability to restore the system (for MS vista) during an emergency?

    I also read on the internet of Wubi and you?

    Wubi is an officially Ubuntu install for Windows. Wubi allows you to only install Ubuntu as a Windows application, in a simple and safe way.

    And theres other question that I need the Ethernet controller

    LAN installation is very easy.
    First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
    In order to download the LAN driver please visit the Toshiba driver page and choose your model of laptop.

    Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
    Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.

    Then finish the installation procedure.

  • How to install the new BIOS for Satellite Pro M50 under Ubuntu

    I am running Ubuntu on my M50 Pro. Could someone advise me what is the latest BIOS and how to install it?

    The update of the BIOS here site seems havean exe file but I couldn't see the BIOS file to the breast?

    Thank you

    Why do you want to update the BIOS?
    You have any big trouble with your laptop?

    The European driver Toshiba page provides BIOS BIOS for Vista and XP.
    Both versions of the BIOS must be completed while the operating system is running!

    If you use Linux on your laptop, you will not be able to update the BIOS!
    Do you understand?

    Once again; Updated the BIOS should be carried out ONLY if it of absolutely necessary. In other cases don't update!

  • Re: How to install Windows on the new Satellite Pro C50 8.1?

    I just bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50, that came with Windows 7 pre-installed.

    When you start the system for the first time, I simply close and put Windows 8.1 media into the optical drive (disc 1 of 4) then entered the Recovery Wizard and may have chosen the wrong option, because I completely erase the hard drive and partitions.

    Now that I did it, I can't find how to install the Windows Media Pro 4 DVD provided 8.1. I can't find the correct option to do this. I changed the startup option in the control panel by pressing F2 at startup, so it reads from the DVD player. The DVD starts but then takes me into a recovery area of the system, which is not good as I wiped the system completely.

    How can I just now to install the Pro 8.1 provided Windows on the clean system right now?

    Thanks for any advice.

    First, I would like to know what model of laptop you have exactly. If possible, please report the entire model number (C50-xxxxx). I just want to check the specification for this model of laptop.

    Did you buy this laptop as any new product and model in box?

    Anyway, if you have installation discs original recovery for this, you should be able to install it without problems. Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. This menu wil shown on the screen, insert disc 1 into the optical disk drive, choose the CD/DVD drive from the menu, and then press ENTER.

    ODD must start reading Wizard disk / recovery will be shown o the screen. Choose the option to install out-of-box / factory settings and just follow menu on the screen.

  • How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

    Hey,.

    Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
    I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

    Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

    How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
    The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
    Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

    The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
    I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
    There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

    Thank you!
    Chris

    > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

    You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
    The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

    The recovery disc can also be ordered here:
