Installing Win7 on Satellite M70-173 - query of wireless internet

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite M70-173, which I think to be up-to-date with windows 7. However after you run the windows 7 Advisor, he told me to download the driver of the wireless device that is:

Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

I put t really know what it is? Is my wireless 'card '?
In any case, I check on the Intel site for the updated drivers for win7, and he says:

"IntelĀ® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection does not support Microsoft Windows * 7.

IntelĀ® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection is no longer manufactured by Intel, nor Intel provide any future software updates to support new operating systems or improve compatibility with devices and third-party software products. "

Does this mean that I should not install Windows 7?

How can I work around this problem, do need me to upgrade and how much would this cost?
Thank you

Satellite or Equium M70 is old model of laptop computer designed for Windows XP Home edition, so it is certainly not taken in charge for Win7. It is certainly possible to install Win7 on this laptop, but you will not be able to make it work with all the options that are specific to Toshiba.

Yes it's the wireless card if this card doesn t work for lack of best drivers and the best option for you is to buy the wireless USB dongle. Ask your dealer how local it costs. As far as I know that's not expensive.

  • Satellite M70-173: cannot install XP Pro

    I wonder if someone can help me. Recently, I bought the laptop Satellite M70-173. My problem is that it comes with XP Home. I need XP Pro. I bought XP Pro, but when I try and boot from the Disc... the drivers are starting to load up and then it freezes.

    To restart, the only is to unplug the power and remove the batery. I checked the disc on another laptop as a test and it works. Any ideas? One eventually is to create a windows startup disk and format? But is not a floppy drive. Many tried to copy the boot to a cd disk but does not drive. Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know that the Intel SATA AHCI Controller driver has been installed on this device.
    This driver is required for SATA hard drives. The OS Setup is unable to start without this driver, but then the installation hangs.
    On this page of intel for drivers:
    http://support.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/sb/CS-021701.htm

    But the recovery procedure works with the recovery CD?
    Have you created a CD of Drivers and tools with the function that has been placed in the assistance of Toshiba?

    You should also find this driver very necessary.

    Good bye

  • Satellite M70-173 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    Hello

    I have an old but expensive laptop (Satellite M70-173). The CD/DVD drive is a carpet * a UJ - 841 s and can currently only read DVDs and CDs
    I have Nero installed 8.3.7.1, but it does not allow me to burn any DVD or CD
    I have all the updates that are installed for Nero, have also removed the "upper and lower limits" in the registry.

    It is not a mark of DVD or CD that I have not yet tried, but they all are coasters.

    I have the following options:

    1. try to set the drive - either with the technical assistance of the forum or replace the disk, so I decided that it is a hardware error

    2 buy a new laptop - but also like some advise on how to "clone" of the current notebook that I have so many other programs installed that I bought over the years and do not want to lose.

    I made copies pdf of burning errors I can post if necessary.

    Any help is welcome

    Kind regards
    Juan

    Hello!

    > I made copies pdf errors burning I can post if necessary.
    Yes, I think it's a good idea. ;)
    Otherwise it of a bit difficult to help you.

    But what CDs and DVDs you tried to burn? I have good experiences with Verbatim and TDK. Check it!
    And you should burn on a lower speed for CD e. g. 16 x.

    Good bye

  • Satellite M70-173 - fatal error - new drive HARD and recovery.

    Excuse my lack of knowledge.

    I received a Satellite M70-173.

    to turn on before charging readings - fatal error; I have to save all my data and replace the hard drive.

    I don't know if it's fixable and that's what I have to do. I also said that when you replace a HARD disk I need a recovery disk.

    I reside in Cyprus and don't have is not easy access to the shops of style PC big supermarket.

    I was wondering if I could use a generic HDD and if so is there a particular one that I need to acquire?

    Also

    where would I go to get a recovery disk?

    I got the laptop I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment and it is still in very good condition apart from the above-mentioned problems!

    I wish that all the advice on what type of HARD drive, I would need or is available - rough cost so I don't get ripped off and if we change the disk HARD is as easy as I read. Also where I should go to get a recovery disc and if that's all I need to fix the laptop.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help I can get.

    Peter

    > The laptop does turn on - is it possible to make a recovery of a damaged laptop disk

    How do you do if you can't turn on the laptop?

    What you could do is to remove the HARD drive, then place it into the drive enclosure HARD 2.5 external, then connect the HARD drive to another computer, to save the data.

    In my opinion this is what you could do

  • I forgot the password of BIOS Satellite M70-173

    Satellite M70-173 - I forgot the BIOS password. What can or what should I do?
    Thanks for help or advice.
    kohorta

    HI Kohorta,

    There are few things you can do if you have forgotten your BIOS password. The only effective way to reset it is to take the appliance to your nearest authorised Service partner who has the necessary equipment for re-flashing your BIOS chip. They generally must prove you your ship-owner of the laptop before it will change.

    You can find various utilities listed on some websites and also some means to bypass the BIOS password, but they are absolutely not guaranteed to work on most modern laptops.

    Kind regards

  • Need advice for installing Win7 on Satellite A300

    Hello

    I intend to buy Satellite A300-1MT (PSAGCE), and before I do I just check if there are still some problems with drivers for W7 for this model?
    On other forums, I saw that there are some problems with drivers like music keys, webcam, touchpad and FN keys and so on...

    So, can someone confirm me that all drivers are now available and everything works?

    And also until I started installing drivers is there anything I need to know (wait used?) Or perhaps better: does anyone have a special notice?

    Please, find the will to respond! Thank you very much!

    I have the Satellite A300 running Win7 32 bit, but my model is PSAG8E.
    To be honest I have very good experience with installing Win7 on Satellite A300 and I can recommend you to install on this Satellite.

    If you visit the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads you will see that your laptop model is supported Win7 and it shouldn't be problem to install all the necessary drivers and other stuff of Toshiba.

    Here is the list how I did this exactly:
    atellite A300 (PSAG8E) and clean Win7

    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches 1.2
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Added Vista tips:
    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
    Driver - Synaptics

    Win7 works well and I am very satisfied. No problems with the feature keys FN.

    If you are going to buy this laptop start installation Win7 following this order of installations. Please inform us of problems and I hope that we can help you about this.

  • Satellite M70-173: spontaneous reboots

    I have a M70-173 that restarts spontaneously. It is under XP Home SP3 and has all updates applied.

    Reboots are more common at certain times than others, but the only clue that I have on the cause, it's that they seem to be more frequent when I have the wireless network card.

    I realize that it is much much to go, but everyone has ideas about what could happen?

    TIA

    I have Satellite M70-159 almost two years now and it works like the first day. No reboot and some strange questions. I always use SP2 and do not want to install SP3. After reading some comments here, I don't want to have a few problems with OS well running.

    What exactly happens? Laptop switches OFF and you need to start it again or laptop restarts as after reboot of the choice of option?
    Is there any message or something? An application that runs in the background is possibly responsible for this.

    If possible, install your laptop with the recovery image and see if the problem recurs. Sorry, but it is not possible to say with certainty why this happen. We can only speculate, here. All we have own OS configuration and use favorite applications, freeware and shareware applications. Many of them are not so good and everything is possible.

  • Re: Win7 on Satellite M70 - 181 - there - he driver available?

    Hello
    as Windows XP support will end next April and my old Satellite still works, I was wondering if anyone has experience with Win7 on this type of laptop. Are there drivers available? (impossible to find anything on the Toshiba site).

    Thank you

    All drivers for Satellite M70 series are on the Toshiba UE driver page.
    Since it is old model of laptop, drivers are placed in archive, then you should choose type of product-> Archive
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    It seems that the drivers are available only for Windows XP and Vista

    But even if there are no Windows 7 drivers, you could install Windows 7 laptop computer s hardware specifications are good enough to run Windows 7 on this device.
    You need to find the key to your own hand drivers. Many laptops are released with the same pieces of equipment, so probably the drivers released for other cell phones would be compatible with the M70 series.

  • How to install Win7 on Satellite C870-190?

    Hi, I hope I'm posting in the category right forum then...

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite C870-190 and it doesn t want to start my windows 7 CD.
    I tried first with the DEL-button that opened the system startup when I start Notepad and then choose the CD-ROM device and do not want to load the CD and then I chose F2, the first unit on the boot to the CD-ROM section, still do not want to load it... the final solution, I tried to install it from the Windows 8 (current operating system) from my computer--> CD--> setup.exe, and then click INSTALL.

    My computer laptop doesn t have allowed me to install it even from Windows... on file copy screen to say... and then it gives me an error that says that the operation failed... What is happening with this laptop?

    How can I format my HARD drive and then install windows 7?

    Thank you

    At the beginning I will say that I hope that you have created a recovery media (DVD or USB) before you have begun to install Win7.

    Return to your Win7 installation. A long time ago I installed Win7 on friends U940 and the first stage was changing course startup in the BIOS settings mode - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
    After the installation Win7 has started successfully, but in my case the SATA driver support was necessary.

    Please check first and send comments.

  • Touch and the launch cannot be installed on the Satellite M70 - 192

    (Sorry for the bad English)
    I had uninstalled Touch and launch program because it did not work properly. When I tried to install another time readings that it can be installed only on Toshiba computer.

    How to fix that?

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know what version you are trying to install. Perhaps, you try to install the version for another model of Satellite. As far as I know there are two models of Satellite M70. The difference is the number of sub.model (PSM70E and PSM71E). Make sure you use the right side of a PSM71E.

    Hello

    I'm a little confused about your ad.
    As far as I know the Satellite M70-340 has a SATA HDD and it should works with this mode. If you use the Toshiba Recovery CD so the AHCI (Intel SATA AHCI Controller) V5.1.0.1022 should pre-installed with the operating system.
    You must also install the Chipset (Intel ICH6M) V7.1.0.1014 first.

  • Problem starting Satellite M70-173

    I have a problem with my laptop, since uninstalling Norton Internet security, I had a program to freeze. The only way to stop it was to maintain the power key. Since then, when I turn the machine when starting the machine to start and after about 1 sec no activity. I don't get the start-up of the screen. If I leave the laptop for several hours I can start and after a short period the computer freezes once more and I can't restart. I noticed several people reporting this kind of problem but cannot find any solution. Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I really wonder what problems people have with laptops. I have Satellite M70-159 over one year and never noticed anything like that.

    Operating system is installed with recovery DVDs and the first thing I do after recovering is to remove Norton antivir application. Trust me I did it more than 10 times and never noticed any a? freezinga? questions. I don't know what you're doing, but if I remember well, there are two entries for Norton in Add/Remove programs.

    At first remove a? UpdateA Norton Live? and later Norton app itself. Overview you will find under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01NM000ER01.htm

    I don't know where you have founded a? several people reporting this kind of problem? but I can say for sure, it may not happen because of Norton. There must be something else. Maybe you deleted some other tips and startup procedure cannot be done correctly. It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

    I recommend you to install OS using recovery delivered DVDs. When finished remove Norton as described in the document of Toshiba. I hope that everything will be OK again.

    Good luck!

  • Installing Win7 on Satellite A300-23d

    Hello

    I went and got the Win7 in a store.
    I realized that it would be preferable to install the Windows 7 with the help of KILLED because of the Toshiba utility... when I started killed HER, he stopped and said that "this model do not support win7 upgrade..."

    This pc is 6 months old! How is it possible?
    What to do? Can I put with none KILLED if so where can I get all the staff of Toshiba?

    If you have original installations of Microsoft DVD for Win7 best solution is to do clean OS install and not upgrade.
    Before Win7 installation please visit Toshiba Win7 download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/windows7_drivers.jsp and check if you can find all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for your laptop model.
    So all the stuff from Toshiba is there then install Win7 and continue with the installation of the drivers.

    By the way: before delete you everything in the disk HARD create Toshiba recovery DVD for Vista.
    You may need in the future.

    If you have any other questions please let us know.
