Installation of Windows Vista on satellite A30-> BIOS error

Im getting a blue screen of death. I have updated to version 1.80 of the bios on toshiba update page and still no luck any ideas? This message below is displayed once the installation files are loading at startup

the bios in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Contact your system provider for an updated bios.

Hello

Seems this version of BIOS does not support Vista and unfortunately, it seems that you must wait for the new version of BIOS that will support the Vista operating system.
Nothing to buddy

  • Help to perform a new installation of Windows Vista 64-bit.

    Original title: Clean Install.

    I am wanting to perform a clean installation of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.  I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I was told, during the custom Setup, that I could choose which bit to install.

    Hello

    With Vista, you do not boot from an external drive to install it.

    It is an option in Windows 7.

    And they told you to contact Microsoft for support.

    Microsoft does not provide support for OEM installations.

    In Vista, 32 bit and 64 bit come on different DVDs.

  • Initial full Vista installation failed, shows 2 installs of Windows Vista from starting.

    Second installation was successful, but the installation failed initial always appears at startup upward. At a complete loss to know where to find entries that say my system there are 2 installs of Windows Vista. When launched the CD to 'view' where this "alternate" install is shows unknown HDD to address 0 w a lack of disk space. Of course, it is more than likely that only some files in the registry or the system "ask" that there is a current installation. Where can I find these to remove them? Have not found anything on any forum re: this issue. TYVM<3!>

    I see that a "MVP" edited the title of the question, but it did NOT reflect what the question. Please leave the full question in the title of the post. My problem is not a simple installation of 'failure '. I just want to find out where the entries are which are originally to show 2 Windows Vista o/s when I 'start' my computer when there are 'only' real installation. Note: I have two we HARD a WinXP Pro, the other Vista disks. At the start, it shows "Versions of Windows" and then Windows Vista and finally Windows Vista again. The non-existing o/s installation failed is the 3rd entry.

    Modify the boot.ini file to remove the installation failed (make sure that you remove the right pair) or in msconfig, check the boot paths

  • trying to do a clean installation of windows vista by using the dvd

    I am trying to simply destroy my computer and start clean using the reinstall DVD supplied with my dell PC. It has windows Vista Home Basic on it. When I put the DVD in its loading and a window pops up asking if I want to install and I press Yes. After a while a box appears that says I don't have enough storage for temporary files. He needs so many megabytes of free space on a partition to be able to load the disc. the problem is that I have NOTHING on the computer, there should be more sufficient storage space! How can I get the DVD to run?

  • Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

    Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

    Hey guys,.

    I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

    I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

    Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

    So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

    And if not, how can I fix?

    Thank you. :)

    Hi cripple.

    Thank you for your message.

    Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

    How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

    What is a wireless keyboard?

    If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

    I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

    You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

    I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

    Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation?  A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new.  If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.

    In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista.  Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

  • Satellite L300D - 21 p - failed Installation of Windows Vista 32 bit

    Hello!

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D - 21 p, and now I wanted to install Windows Vista Business 32-bit.
    But still, the installation stops at where the screen says "how to complete the installation..." ".

    Do you have any idea what I need to do to fix this?

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Greetz

    Stefan

    If you use the Toshiba recovery disc then you have no need to reinstall the SATA drivers.
    If you use Microsoft disc, you need the SATA drivers.

    But if the error message indicates that the installation is complete, then the HARD drive is recognized correctly and you should not have the SATA drivers in such a case.

    > Where can I get the SATA drivers?
    It seems that your laptop computer supports the processor AMD and ATI chipset.
    Driver graphics card contains the driver for chipset and SATA drivers needed.
    The different folder for the graphics driver and the drivers are placed in the folder:
    Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\Filter\NB
