How to install Win 7 on a Satellite M30X-165 (S)

The laptop has a Pentium clocked at 1.6 GHz and 1 GB of RAM which I would upgrade to 2 GB. I want to change the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I know that Toshiba do not support the software and drivers for Win 7:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=235849𹥉

But when I remove the hard drive, install Windows Vista and later upgrade to Windows 7 If this could be a way to use Vista drivers and Toshiba Software, especially software for function keys. I think that the third-party software should come through Win 7 update.

Some devices are:
Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series graphics card
ENE CB710 Cardbus Controller
Realtek AC97 Audio
TOSHIBA Software Modem (not important)

Some software are:
TOSHIBA ConfigFree
Alps Pointing-device Driver
ATI Desktop component
TOSHIBA utilities

Long ago, I had Satellite M70 that was machine WXP too. It was not supported for Win7 but I installed it to see how it will work. My problem was to find the display driver, but I found somewhere on the net and the machine was OK. I could use it but without specific Toshiba and utility tools.

Unfortunately on this forum we do have enough information about these updates on old machines. I can only say: install it, test it and post comments.

    Someone can help me with the procedures to be followed to permanently remove Vista Home Premium and replace it with Windows XP Professional?
    Once Windows XP Pro installed, drivers for my computer laptop Satellite A300 - 15 d will always work because of the new operating system?

    Hello

    If you want to replace Vista with your Windows XP operating system then just boot from the Windows XP CD and follow the on-screen installation instructions.

    After installation of XP operating system, you will have to visit the page of the European driver Toshiba and will need to download the XP compatible drivers!

    Your laptop seems to belong to the * PSAJ4E * series.
    Please choose this number before you begin to download the driver.

    By the way; Support for laptop SATA controller so you will need to include the driver SATA during the XP installation process.

  • How to install Win 7 on a Win 10 computer which doesn't have a CD player

    I bought a new laptop of Lenovo win 10, but I can't not treat Win 10 so I bought a copy of Win 7 and want to install it but I don't have a CD player.  How to install Win 7?  I tried to look at the oem site but nothing seems to match back to Win 7, they all assume I'm going to Win 10, that I certainly do not.

    Otherwise I'll have to return the laptop because I don't live with Win 10, it takes too long to learn all the new shit and I'm not all media social hype apps that came with it.

    A little guidance would be welcome, please.

    Thank you

    Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

    The first thing you need to do is to check if there is no Windows 7 driver for your model of Lenovo.

    I recommend also to dual boot, instead of decommissioning.

    In addition, downgrade rights are limited to systems that are preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro OEM. Other editions need to provide your own disc of Windows 7.

    There are ways you can download and create a bootable copy of the edition of Windows 7 you have.

    Option 1: Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

    then

    If your computer is UEFI, they are normally the systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or later, you need prepare the ISO for such a configuration file or you will receive an error during installation. The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

    Rufus - credit: Pete bastard/Akeo

    After installing Rufus:

    • Launch it
    • Select the ISO Image
    • Point to the file ISO for Windows 10
    • Check create a disk bootable using
    • Select GPT partitioning to EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme
    • Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as file system
    • Make sure that your USB in the device list
    • Click Start
    • Close when you are finished

    Noise appears on the recovery image installed Toshiba?

    If Yes, I assume that you have installed the operating system from the Microsoft CD and Toshiba drivers and utilities in the wrong order or some drivers are missing.

    But maybe the his doesn t appear due to the installation of SP2.
    I read in the Sp2 installation documentation (found on the Toshiba driver page) that maybe the Yamaha AC - XG driver sound 6.13.10.2152 must be installed.

    Anyway, please check this possibility.

  • Satellite M30X-165: Mat * a UJ - 831 S is not read and write any DVD

    Hello

    the next problem is sticky on the laptop Satellite M30X 165 with the burner Mat * a UJ - 831 S: it can read and write CDs, but is not able to write them to DVD or even read some of the ones I've burned and also read in the same drive. Even at the start of the DVD, it does not start from the recovery DVD, the player starts and slows down very quickly.
    Without doubt, it must be put at the service of repair or someone has other suggestions?

    Could you please tell me how long the repair takes (I know what it takes to install the desktop temporarily used).

    Thank you

    Post edited by: DerSeher
    Using burning software, it detects the DVD, but invite you to an "error of calibration power (037303).

    Hello

    If you cannot use recovery media, I guess that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  • Satellite M30x-165: OpenGL in the graphics driver is old

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30x-165.
    I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the page Web of Toshiba.

    When I check the version of the OpenGl driver it says that the version is 1.5.4454. Recently, I heard that this version is very old and may cause some problems with certain programs.

    The computer does not install the downloaded driver directly from ATI Web page.

    How can I update the version of OpenGL?

    Thank you well in advance.

    Greetings,
    Argonis

    Hello

    The M30X isn't the new laptop series and therefore the graphic driver seems to be not updated to the latest state
    Graphics drivers that are released in the Toshiba page are designed especially for Toshiba laptops and there is a big difference between the Toshiba and the drivers of the ATI page. So it's not easy to install the ATI drivers on laptops OS.

    But there is one thing; first of all, you can unzip the package and then you could try to update the driver through Device Manager. Here, you point to the folder decompressed driver to update the graphics driver.

    This allows you to install non-Toshiba divers would help the Toshiba notebook.

    But note; These drivers are not certified for the use of the laptop and so you can ONLY use and YOUR OWN RISK.

  • Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

    Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

    Hello

    Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

    BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

    You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

  • 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.
