How to install Win 8 on Satellite C850 after HARD drive failure?

I have a PC repair business and a customer gave me a portable Satellite C850-1 kN which took a catastrophic hard disk failure (just clicking from the road).

I replaced the hard drive and tried to boot from a DVD 8 Windows, changing the order of startup in the bios, however, it still gives an error message "no boot device."

I see no way to turn off boot UEFI, it appears grayed out in the configuration of the bios.

How can I reinstall Windows on this laptop?

First, you must know that the (CSM/UEFI mode) parameter must be changed if you want to install the system supported UEFI not (Win 7 and higher).
Win 8 and 8.1 Win are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the option to UEFI mode.

What about the secure boot option?
Have you found and have you tried to disable this option?

  • Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C660 - 26H - HARD drive not recognized

    I reinstall windows 7 on a Satellite C660 - 26H
    The hard drive failed on this laptop, so I added a new Toshiba 160 GB sata drive.

    When I try to install windows 7 I get the error message

    "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

    I get this when I would normally be choose which windows installation disc too. I guess I need driver sata for the laptop?

    Where can I get the driver for this laptop sata?
    Or do I have driver sata for the new hard drive?

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    Hello

    First check to see if the new HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS. It must appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If his list, and save the changes by pressing F10 and access to the BIOS.

    I'm not very well if you need the SATA drivers because AFAIK Win 7 should already contain a standard SATA driver from m.

    However, the SATA drivers are on Intel page.
    You should look for Intel Storage Manager.

  • Satellite C850 - suspected hard drive failure

    I have a Toshiba C850 15.6 inch 750GB 8 GB. It's a little more than two years. At the start, it displays the automatic repair of message preparation followed quickly diagnose your PC. Eventualy followed in another message, C drive repair. This about 6 hours total (schedules for each message varies). After this, another message appears on a blue background indicating
    your PC is not started correctly.
    Tap on restart to reboot your PC which can sometimes solve the problem. Alternatively, you can press options to try other options to fix your PC

    Each option translates the screen fading, but leaving the original message in the background for 2 hours or more
    This happens even if you try to start in safe mode or recovery discs.

    Please note I am very far from being a computer expert, but have family who may be able to help me while 200 miles away so maybe wait a while.

    I got the same message of diagnostic Pc and it takes ages to complete. I don't really know why, but Windows 8 tends to have its problems, if that's what you have. Mine is over 2 years old and it might freeze or run slowly. In the end, I gave my laptop a slap and it ruined the entire hard drive. I just buy a new hard drive and try to figure out how to get Windows installed again. So basically if your computer is tempramental, I would back up data as soon as possible. This is the error that I did not do. Then think about buying a new hard drive.

  • How to install windows 7 on a laptop after hard drive crash?

    I have a G60-235DX laptop where the hard drive is going bad.  It came with Windows Vista installed and then has been upgraded via the program from windows 7 to windows 7.  The hard drive is bad and now only works when it feels like it.  I have a replacement hard drive on the road and want to be able to reinstall windows 7 without having to pay anything.  Is it possible to do?  I don't like on the files on the computer, only the operating system.  Can I do something?  Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the disc is a disc 'upgrade', but you should not need to upgrade to Vista. According to "SUPERSITE of Thurrott", you should be able to install multimedia upgrade without a previous installation and activate it. The key seems to penetrate the Windows product key, that the installation is completed, instead of first application. Please try this and let us know how it goes.

  • Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
    A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
    Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

    I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
    Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
    Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

    Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

    And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

    Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

    > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
    This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

    This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

    > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

    HARD drive problems are always difficult.
    In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
    But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.

  • Re: Satellite C850 - replacement HARD drive dead, install OS

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C850 with a completely dead hard drive. I have no Win 7 DVD but I don't have the product key.
    Where should I go from here?

    Hello

    If you have a valid key, you can download the iso file of Windows 7 from Microsoft.
    This image file can be burned to a disc.
    Then you can use this disk to install the Windows 7 and activate with valid key.

    But be careful: If you mean the serial key which is located at the bottom of the device, you would know that those keys cannot be used for activation of Win 7. Its key OEM belonging to Toshiba preinstalled image. I guess that it will not work.

    I'm trying to put the files of my original restore on a USB cd but never works and I did not find useful clues in any part of the forum.

    Is there anyone out there who can help me?

    Hi, marawe

    It would never work if you just copy the files from recovery Cd on a usb key. You need to make a BOOTABLE FLASH DISK, to do you need an application like Flashbot... Google.
    Download and install it, after that you can make a bootable usb key.
    You should know that your Bios must support boot with a Usb key, I don't know about your knees. Otherwise, you cannot do so. Hope it works

    Thank you for your attention...

    However the slp cert is identical for each single Dell system running with Windows 7 Home Premium factory settings or installed with a Windows 7 Home Premium DVD Dell reinstallation, you cannot back up your own files.

    If you get a Dell reinstallation DVD, you will use the same activation mechanism. I have backup upward cert for each version of Dell for Vista and 7 as well all that you need to do is copy program to extract the ABR folder and run restore activation.

  • How to install Windows 7 upgrade on a blank hard drive

    My previous installation of Windows 7 upgrade on my hard drive that had a Windows XP installed upgrading later had a HD failure. I bought a new HD and have not been able to perform a reinstallation of Windows 7 using either the previous update purchased DVD. How can I install my upgrade to Windows 7 on the new HD?

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
