• 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.

• Re: How to install Win XP on a Satellite A300 - 15 d

  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!
  (maybe you could do that before formatting the disk HARD and Vista)

  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.
  The Storage Manager available on the Toshiba driver page contains such SATA driver.

  If you n t know how to include such SATA driver, please use the search option of the forum for research.
  There are a lot of similar topics regarding the installation of the SATA driver.

  Good bye

• 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

  Yes, you must update the BIOS to the version of Windows XP. Now 5, 40 - WIN BIOS is available on the Toshiba page.

  Help, please

  1. If I format the hard drive (VISTA pre loaded) and install XP PRO it voids my warranty.

  3. If I format the drive recovery still install Vist if I need back. (Now, I think that it was a question of dum. I know thw answer...: o

  Help, please

  Hello hotshot.
  Recently I asked the customer service of Toshiba (Netherlands) the same question about warranty by phone. The guy said ' it's your computer, you can install what you like. ' " But if you need to send it for a problem, you will need to restore it to how it was when you got it. "I asked what happens if the computer develops a problem preventing you to restore it and the guy hohummed without giving an answer.
  XP should work, but you will need to find all the drivers beforehand.
  Third question, you did it.

• Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: can I create a partition Vista installation disc

  Hello

  My Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
  As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard drive and installed XP pro.
  I retained the original drive in case I've never had a claim under warranty.

  Now, I find that, because of work, commitments, I occsionally use the despised Vista trash and wonder if it is possible to create a partition on the original disc installation disc so tha ti can create a system dual boot on my new drive.

  I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD, since I already have a perfectly legal copy on a disk, which I am not using and I'll use it only rarely for this commitment to work.

  Any information received with gratitude

  Thank you Ron

  Hmm. If you have a HARD drive recovery option, then a complete image has been placed on the HARD drive and generally all cell phones with HARD drive recovery option is supported by a tool called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator Toshiba.

  With this tool, you can create a Vista recovery DVD If the OS Vista, have been damaged, you can also try to start the computer by pressing the F8 key.
  This would allow an advanced boot menu.
  Here you must choose repair computer

  But note; This option is available only on laptops with HDD Recovery

• Satellite L40 PSL48E FN keys do not work

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L40 PSL48E, and it works perfectly, except that the FN + no matter what key does not work.

  I've been option on this forum, and I found the solution, which is: download the common Module and the Hotkey Utility.
  However, this only seems to work for Windows XP and I have Vista Ultimate, so this won't work.

  Also, I discovered that FN + F11 seems to work, and I searched on that one too, but it was something like:

  «So, go to "Run" (i.e. run an application) and run msconfig.exe or simply search for msconfig.exe.»

  After the opening of this program, you will have a few tabs and a tab should be as 'start-up', it should be the filename TCrdMain.exe and a checkbox before that. Uncheck the box, and you disable this cardmanager.
  "

  Well, I went to msconfig.exe, but TCrdMain.exe was not on the list...

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thanks, Koen.

• Satellite L40 (PSL48E) - is not restart after BIOS update

  Hello

  My problem is that I have updated the BIOS and after that the machine does not restart. (Corrupt BIOS?)

  After that the BIOS updated (Satellite L40 PSL48E), reboot the machine and with the F2 key, I open the BIOS setup.
  I check the version of the BIOS (5.50) and complete the configuration of the BIOS. The machine must restart now...
  Not at all, the machine does not restart. No screen only the powerled lights.

  I can to fix it on my own as a BIOS reset?

  Thank you for the cooperation.

  It's strange because after that the updated BIOS update you can go into the BIOS.

  However, try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then put the battery back in and connect the AC adapter. Try again.

  If it doesn't work it is something wrong with the hardware or BIOS and must be checked by a technician for laptop.

  You n t need the exe file.
  You can install the driver through the Device Manager, you must simply point to the folder of the driver you downloaded and Win XP would take the necessary ini and dll files automatically.

• 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.
