• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

  Is the BSOD 0x0000007B code?

  You must go into the BIOS and change SATA "Compatibility" or "IDE" mode

  Or, if this option is not available, you should use the F6flpy driver is in the Intel Matrix Storage driver package.

• Qosmio G30-163. Try to install Win Xp Pro on the new HARD 120 GB drive

  Hi all

  I am trying to install Win Xp Pro on a new 120 GB HARD drive, but windows setup does not recognize the HARD drive.
  I have only to install a (formatted) HARD drive on the laptop as main.
  The secondary place for HARD drive is empty.

  Can you please help me with this?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Rose is right you need RAID driver.
  Download from the Toshiba download page and load it before installation of WXP starts using the diskette drive/USB stick and F6 option.

  On this forum, you can find many threads with exact explanation how.

• Unable to install Win XP Pro on the Qosmio X 300

  Is it possible to install XP Pro on my Qosmio X 300.
  I tried to install it but now luck.

  I could format the HARD drive and then install or what I have to do something with the Bios.
  Frank

  Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.

  Can I ask you if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD?
  I guess you laptop supports the recovery of HARD drive and no drives have been provided with this device.
  Before to format the HARD drive, you must create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  Furthermore, I believe that you are not able to install XP because the SATA driver were not included in your Win XP operating system.
  Well, on some laptops you can disable the SATA AHCI in the BIOS and could spend in compatible mode. This would install the Win XP without a SATA driver.
  But this option is not available on all models of laptops. You need to check this first.

  Finally, I must say that this topic has been discussed a lot of time here in the forum. Maybe not specifically in the forum of Qosmio X but in the other forum and the SATA installation procedure is the same on all laptops.
  So look for a little

  Hi all.

  I'm started to get really desperate here! I just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (as the laptop comes with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), I get a blue screen of the STOP just as the installation application reached the phase "the installation program starts Windows! The STOP message says something about a file named "pci.sys".

  I don't know what the problem is or how to install XP Pro! It should be so simple! I even tried the SATA drivers from intel and load the Windows XP Pro install the program installation (F6) with a floppy, but I always get the same blue screen at the same stage of the installation.

  Can someone help me please? Can someone explain how to install Win XP Pro on this laptop?

  Thank you very much in advance! I'm really really freak out with this

  During the installation of XP, the installation program will ask you to enter the 3rd part the sata drivers.
  Then you must press the F6 button und could include the Intel Matrix Storage Manager from the external USB FDD drive.

• Trying to install win xp pro on the Satellite A200 - TH1 (PSAE3C)

  Hi all
  I just bought this laptop. It came with vista. I want to install xp pro on it, I mean keep vista as well. So I made the partition and assigned 72 GB for xp pro. Now the problem is that xp pro install cd does not recognize the hard drive. It says no hard drive present.

  It is a SATA drive. So I did some searching on Google on it and found that xp pro doesn't have SATA drivers and this is why you may not see the hard drive. I need to install the SATA drivers with xp pro by pressing F6... and blah blah. Given that this laptop didn't come with the disk, then I found on some forums to include drivers with xp pro cd and make an iso image and try to run it.

  I tried several times but each time it gives me error this cable is broken. Is someone can pls let me know what is the problem? And also if anyone can guide me to get the right drivers for my SATA drive and intel 965 PM chipset... If I go the Intel Web site.

  They are all. EXE files. I want the driver files only, so I can insert them into the xp cd. Thanks for your help and guidance adavance.

  Hi all

  I was able to get the drivers... now, I came across another hurdle... When I put the XP installation cd (which is an ISO bootable disk... This includes the xp sp2 and realtek nic drivers) it gives me message that searching for media... RTL8100E/8101E v1.02... test failed... Check if the cable is connected...

  Any ideas? What should I do now? Any suggestion would be appreciated... Thank you

• M7-K010DX: can I replace pre-installed Win 8.1/64 with Win 7 Pro/64?

  I'm considering buying a laptop M7 HP Touchsmart - K010DX want to Best Buy who has Win 8.1/64 pre-installed.  This model allow me to install Win 7 Pro/64 instead (assuming that I'll buy the appropriate media/license)?

  Best Buy guy explained that all of the processors now contain a basic Win 8, so they can always starts when the primary HD fails.  He said that the use of this built-in Win 8 must be disabled before installing a different operating system, and he said that not all machines you allow to do.

  I hope as the M7-K010DX allows... is perhaps likely since HP Driver Support page lists the Win 7 and 8.1 as possible O.S..

  Can anyone confirm this?

  Thank you... Jay

  Hi, Jay:

  Here is the link to the service manual for your model.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04409752.PDF

  You are right.

  Remove the hard drive is not for the faint of heart, and so much so, the warranty will be cancelled if you do.

  It is a task of "authorized service provider.

  The procedure to remove the HARD drive are in Chapter 6 beginning on page 66.

  Most models allow easy removal of the hard drive, but some don't, and I guess yours is one of them.

  Since you posted your product key on a public web site, it has now
  almost certainly already been copied and used by hackers all over the
  world. This means that Microsoft disables this button so it can't be
  more used.
   
  Please, in the future, never publish your key like this.
   
  But leaving that aside for the moment, to answer your question, if
  It is a key to the retail sale, Yes, you can use it on another computer. If it's a
  OEM key, no you can't.

  One of the things that I recommend you do so after creating the system image is to change the name of the computer to something else, so if you decide to create another backup system image, it's not too write the original. You can use this even as a method for having multiple images of different systems.

  Please note that Windows 7 Release Candidate is a preliminary version of Windows and should not have has been used as a release candidate.

  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.

• I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes.

  I want to install Win 7 Pro 64 bytes on Win 7 Pro 32 bytes. I would lose my Microsoft Office 2007 and files, 3rd party software. If so is there a way to save them? How can I backup my Outlook pst. file? Is that all I have to do it before I try it?

  You cannot go directly from the 32-bit to 64-bit.  The best thing to do would be to create a new partition and install the 64-bit version in that.  You will have access to the data on the partition of 32 bits, but will need to install your applications in the 64 bit one.

  Good luck.
