Is satellite Z930 - possible to reinstall Win8 after deletion?

Hello
I bought a computer (Z930, SSD 128, 6 GB RAM) with 8 Windows pre-installed, and I want to delete windows 8 and install windows 7, for which I have the license.
My question is:
1 - is possible to completely format the hard drive to install a "clean" Windows 7
2. After you have done that, it will be possible to reinstall Windows 8 USB recovery media that I created.
2. is a problem installing Windows 7? (on the new UEFI; piece of equipment...)

Thank you

to clarify my question on reinstallation of Windows 8: if I delete all partitions on my hard drive, will it still be possible to use the USB recovery media material I created? is any partition necessary for support of USB recovery

Hello

Last week I tested it on my Satellite U940 and my answers are the following:
> is it possible to completely format the hard drive to install a "clean" Windows 7
Yes.
> after doing this, it will be possible to reinstall Windows 8 USB recovery media that I created.
Yes.
> Is Windows 7 installation problem? (on the new UEFI; piece of equipment...)
Generally no, it isn't a problem. Only problem may be installing some drivers, tools and utilities, but I think that you will be able to install it.

I tested it and it was no problem at all.

Prior to start doing what any test recovery USB functionality.

    Hello

    Intel WiDi is based on Intel technology and this support depends on the Wlan card built in Notepad.
    You need to use the Intel WiDi, Intel WLAN module which is part of the 6000 Centrino series.

    As you mentioned in you original post above; the laptop seems to be equipped with an Atheros WLan card.
    The Atheros WLan card does not support the Intel WiDi and therefore, you will not be able to use this technology.

  • Satellite Z930 - Low Memory After installing Windows 10

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Z930, which works perfectly for years. I recently downloaded and installed Windows 10 and as soon as I did, I get low-memory computer warnings, the laptop works slowly and I need to stop it and restart it. I installed all the updates and I still have windows mail and web browser (a) open, but the problem persists. I used 75 103 GB of storage, not of course the relevance that is.

    Any help would be appreciated, I'm tired.

    Chris

    Dear Chris,
    I bet that for Toshiba support being able to help you, it would be necessary to know the exact version of the Z930 (e.g. Z930 - 16K) you have, including how (live RAM) is currently installed.

    To my knowledge the units were equipped with three different WLan modules; Intel, Realtek or Atheros are possible would be useful to know the model number

    I guess you have not installed the USB 3.0 driver and therefore the USB unknown device appears in Device Manager.

  • Extremely slow on my Satellite Z930 - 15 X

    Hello

    Here is my problem (sorry for my English):

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Z930 15 X.

    For several weeks, it is very very slow. If eco or normal mode, it is still slower than the eco mode. * Even without running any program *. When I look at the Task Manager, everything is ok and fluid.

    Is this a hardware problem?
    I also noticed that the fan works far more often than the first months of use, even with just an open word document.

    The only solution I found is to restart the computer.
    After each restart, it is fast as usual, but only for a short period. But at one time or another, the extreme slowness often returns after a break.

    * I also noticed that it often occurs after a suspension or the connection / disconnection of the laptop from the AC outlet.*

    (I said I have a few programs installed and no trace of virus and other software malicious (I'm very careful about that)).

    Have you had this problem, where it comes from, what can I do?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to tell what exact reason. To be honest I don't think that there is a hardware problem. Fact is that many background processes can slow down the performance of s for laptop. Perhaps some context downloads and installation of the update may be reason your laptop reacts quite slow.

    Please check the commissioning and disable all unnecessary applications. If you do not use some of them, they should not start with Windows and run in the background. Also check Windows update option. Turn off automatic updating.

    If please do first and check if the laptop runs a little faster.
    Please post comments.

  • Where can I get the right drivers for Satellite Z930 - PT23LA - 01 009?

    A little history: I recently bought a version of Win7 to a Z930 in Auckland from PB Tech shop. I've updated to a clean version of Win8 64-bit. My Win8 seems works ok but I noticed something strange in the Toshiba PC Health Monitor - apparently the Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert is not installed, so I don't understand not his iconic display in the health monitor (but the health monitor think my SSD is in "Good" shape - maybe it's reading the INTELLIGENT of my SSD interface, or maybe it's just saying 'Good' because the integrity monitor is apparently able to operate?)

    I can easily find different versions of the Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert Utility in questionable Web sites - download, but I really prefer to get my Toshiba support drivers. Which leads to my question:

    Where can I get the right drivers for PT23LA-01 009? NZ nor the webarea to Toshiba support have this model in their menus. The closest match seems to be

    http://www.MyToshiba.co.nz/support/computers/Ultrabook/satellite-z930/pt23la-01f00n/download?OS=30

    There is probably not much difference between a PT23LA-01F and a PT23LA-01 P but it is a bit of concern to be download & install the drivers for a chip that is no my model...

    See you soon,.
    Clark

    PS: http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Features-Knowledge-Base/TOSHIBA-HDD-SSD-Alert/ta-p/347120 advise me the area downloads for Toshiba support. He also advises "not all utilities are available for each model and operating system. During the installation of utilities, install the TOSHIBA value added first. "Sigh... so maybe my problem is that I installed the Win8 drivers & utilities order when build my own-building a Win8 pass win7? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest... but if this is the case are here all other dependencies in these built?

    > Where can I get the right drivers for PT23LA-01 009?

    First series of Toshiba laptops (Australian, European, etc) is very similar to the other
    Your model of laptop Australian Satellite Z930 * PT23LA * series is the same as the European model Satellite Z930 * PT23LE * series.

    That's why the drivers, tools and utilities published for Satellite Z930 * PT23LE * series must be compatible with the Satellite Z930 * PT23LA * series.

    but when you watch a video on youtube, the fan starts and 2 min later it stops

    Is this normal?

    Of course, it's normal. At the moment when you want to watch the video more graphics card performance is necessary and material to increase temperature. The motherboard sensors noticed this and cooling fan will be activated.

  • Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

    Help

    I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

    This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

    When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

    I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

    Thank you very much

    Mr. Gibbs

    It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

    It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
    It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

    If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
    But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

    Good luck

  • Is problem with Windows Explorer (not Internet Expl.) - possible to reinstall this software or update?

    I have several problems which, after some time, can be attributed to a problem with the Windows Explorer (not: Internet Explorer)

    Examples:

    -files are not finished (so that they remain in a queue forever) (this happens every time)

    -When I try to replace a file from one directory to another this process is at a standstill (occurring rarely)

    -When I shut down, I get a message that trying explore but unable to play the fine tune (sometimes)

    -in Word, I get printer messages not responded or other problems with opening files-Word (sometimes).

    Remarkable (?): boot in normal mode is always successful, even after the crash on shutdown.

    Question:

    -is it possible to reinstall this software or update?

    - or something is needed to get a solution?

    Hi Niels,

    1. When did you start to question?

    2 did you recent hardware or changes to the software of the system?

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    You can check if the problem occurs in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2:

    If you are not faced with the question in safe mode, then you can try to perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    In addition, after you fix the problem, you can see step 7 above to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Method 2:

    If you are faced with the question in safe mode, you can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  • How to reinstall win8 on laptop?

    What else do I have to activate myself install the OS on laptop?

    Maybe this should be displayed in the repair section, in any case, here's my problem.

    My laptop could not load once I tried to move from win8 to win8.1, he comes himself stuck in a restart loop where he claims he met error starting of win8.1, will collect information and restart; but he is never able to get back in the mode window after 8 hours. I tried press F2, F4, F8 and F10, and none is able to bring me the menu of the BIOS to boot from USB or DVD. After learning that the win8 product key has been pre-build in the BIOS, I decided to just erased the hard disk and reinstall win8 using the win8 OEM backup disk that was my friend. I took out the hard drive and quick format using a computer laptop win7 last night, put the backup in the computer samsung laptop, power, I get to the blue screen of the "recovery" with 0xc000000f error code. Press ESC, now I have access to the BIOS and disable secure boot and dvd move upward in the boot sequence... but, that's all I can do, on the existing from the BIOS, I've been to this "Reovery" screen without access to BACK DVD or USB. What else should I do to install the OS on this laptop?

    I got this laptop from samsung which is preload with win8 about 1 year, but it was refurnished by bestbuy and backup/system partition was missing. I made attempts to create the backup drive using this 'win7-file recovery' option in win8, but is useless once I tried to reload and doesn't have it and can not find this copy now. I have the folder windows.old in backup before formatting and a relief win8 disc but no use right now.

    Any advice will be helpful, and if I can't reinstall win8 to the end, maybe I can try to use linux, LOL

    -Jacky

    If you have another count, you could do the installation media on a USB stick or something (link here). Regarding the BIOSI would try just spamming the "F1 - F12" and "Esc" keys or search how to access BIOS/UEFI.

  • Satellite Z930-12Z - add RAM and replace the SSD

    Hi all

    I'm new here and read some articles also on the Z930-12Z Satelite but I have two questions on the Satellite Z930-12Z:

    1. What is the maximum RAM for Satellite Z930-12Z? There are two locations inside or accommodation?
    I read this blog, but I don't understand if there are two slots or a slot...
    https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread...Llite-Z930-12Z

    2. could I change the SSD? Is there a maximum GB for SSDS for my Ultrabook? No matter what SSD I install?

    I had these SSDS:
    2.1 Kingston SMS200S3 / 480 G SSD 480 GB (6.4 cm (2.5 '' mSATA)
    2.2 MZ-M5E500BW Samsung SSD 500 GB (mSATA)

    No matter what SSD I install?

    Thank you in advance!

    Rebecca Bugday

    Two DIMM slots with 16 GB support apparently. You won't need 16 GB. Take a set of 2 x 4 GB RAM dual channel, I'll leave a link to a few good things that I use for my cell phone 16 GB

    http://www.ebuyer.com/646124-HyperX-...1779&PKW=&Pmt=

    Also, Yes, of course, you can change the SSD, you will need to get some kind of USB 3.0 in the first mSATA interface and clone the existing drive overall, because laptops do not want fresh windows install.
