You are connected via a router?

If so, make sure it is updated and you are able to connect to the Internet. I suggest that you download the latest Windows 7 compatible driver for router before you install Windows 7 on this system. Once you have configured Windows 7, install the updated driver, then try to update the software again.

Also, give the following a try:

Click Start, type CMD

Right click on CMD from the results

at the command prompt, type: ipconfig/release

then: ipconfig/renew

You can also try the router powered off

Unplug it

Wait 10 minutes

Reconnect, start it and try to reconnect.

    When you create the partition, bootcamp and starting from the Win 7 DVD I am able to install it without problem. When the PC reboots after you download windows support on my USB, install windows and is about to start Windows for the first time, it freezes and the screen is all black.

  • 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.

    You just buy new C50-A-1JT which came with an installation of Linux Mint, I won't, because it's for my mother in law who barely knows windows, and even less to ask him to learn to use Linux.

    I tried to make a bootable USB key with win 7 installation (that I would do on a normal pc).
    The windows installer seems to load fine, but when I press Windows Installer, I get "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. »

    The problem is that my laptop did not contain driver disks, so I wonder what I can do to install Win 7 on it.

    About this error message, see Microsoft Knowledge base article:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2755139/

    This problem occurs for the following reasons:
    The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
    A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
    The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
    The DVD drive cannot read media.
    The ISO file is corrupted.

    Given that you don t use the installation disc but a USB flash memory stick, I suppose that the image on the USB flash memory stick file is corrupt or there is a problem with the support of USB flash memory

    Hi mate

    I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
    Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
    Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
    Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

    PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk

    If some know what driver I need exactly?

    Hi mate

    Did you install VAP (value added package)?
    If this is not the case, to do this. After that, restart the laptop and check the functionality of the FN button.

    If the FN button would not work, install utility Support Flash Card which you could find in the box driver for other portable computer laptops; for example L500

  • 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

  • Spectrum x 360 4165: FINALLY SOLVED! No driver CD/DVD for Hp spectrum x 360 - install Win 7

    This isn't a question but a RESPONSE to all those who are not able to install Win 7 on Hp Spectra because you get the notice "a required CD/DVD device driver is missing."

    I JUST BOUGHT a brand new 360 4165 x spectrum.  No USB 2.0 at all.  No CD player.

    Engineer network, that sort of thing just is not solved with me so I solved it!

    DO NOT download drivers intel but RST download the Extensible software USB 3.0 host controller.  RST is 'Rapid Storage Technology' and has nothing to do with the inability of the system to load the drivers of USB 3.0

    = Found HERE =.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-driver-Intel-USB-3-0-Extensible-host-control...

    Extract the files to a folder on the C: drive of your laptop.

    Install Win 7 and WHEN IT REQUEST the drivers, just point to the folder (Browse) you just extract files.

    You need to install BOTH the driver of the ROOT and the main driver of USB 3.0, so choose one and install, and then select the other and install.

    DON'T BOTHER with removing USB and move to another location!  Here are the lucky results!

    You will now be able to quickly install Windows 7 according to MY INSTRUCTIONS.

  • Satellite L670-12J - Chicony camera does not not after installing Win 10

    Hi I have just upgraded to Windows 10 on my L670-12J and the camera not working anymore. I tried to search for a driver Win 10, but I have found none.
    Also some of the function keys don't work anymore and of course the tab that opens at the top of the screen has disappeared also.
    I install a software to check for driver updates associated with win 10, but he has not identified a problem or a driver for the camera.
    Can anyone help please.

    I also had same problem with cam,

    finally found the solution-

    go to the devices-> update driver software Manager (on cammera, eventually showed as unknown device, to actually figure on which we're cammera)-> browse my computer for driver-> let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer-> pick chicony usb 2.0 cammera, he'll give warning that this driver might not be compatible ignore the warning, the camera work...

    Hello

    To be honest, I put t see any reasons for Win 7 64 bit installation is not possible.
    In case you want to install Win 7 on this laptop, you should first check the BIOS settings.

    To go into the BIOS, press F2 during the turn on/off the unit.
    There should be a startup mode option. You can switch between the AHCI mode and compatibility mode. In which case you would use compatibility mode, the HARD disk performance would be slower.
    So make sure the AHCI mode is used.

    Finally, I would recommend checking the installation using a common Microsoft Windows disk.

    By the way: you wrote that the laptop uses 6 GB RAM (1 x 2 GB + 1x4Go)
    In your case I would remove a RAM module upgrade and would like to try to install the Windows operating system using the original configuration.
