• Satellite A200 - recovery disk will install Windows?

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200. Hard drive is dead and he changed a new.

  If I buy the product recovery disc will be functioning and install windows vista family premium provided with the machine?

  Hi spiropi,

  Yes, the Toshiba Recovery disk will install the original operating system supplied with the notebook. Toshiba Recovery disk always works, even you changed the HARD drive. The disc contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools, then everything will be installed automatically and you get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

  Thus, you can order such a disc and you can the original settings on your new HARD drive. :)

• Each PC with the Update icon will install Windows 10

  I have the Update icon on my laptop and I even booked my copy of windows 10, but when I go to 'check pc', it shows that my pc is not compatible, can anyone tell me the conditions required for the update

  The reservation application indicates that I have incompatible hardware (IE. CPU, Bluetooth, video card, printer) or software, what do I do?

  You can check the software developer and supplier of equipment for the latest updates before performing the upgrade.

  UPDATE: Please see the following article by Barb Bowman (Microsoft MVP) solutions to this problem.

  Is that what my display graphic or peripheral Bluetooth compatible with Windows 10? Pre-trial showed that it was not.

  

  Microsoft compatibility database is continually updated with new data. What you can do is to regularly run another scanner to see if the database has updated the information about your hardware. Even if you get this message, you can still run Windows Update after installing Windows 10 and download the latest driver too.

• Reinstalling operating system on the HP laptop which has Vista, Win 7 family Premium and Windows 7 Pro installed.

  I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model.  It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery.  Anyway. .. . . .

  I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup).  I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.

  I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works.  Two Questions

  1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?

  2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution?  As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.

  Thanks in advance,

  W!

  Cheryl: thank you.  I had to google "active partition" and found how how to change active partitions, but I did not know after you change the active partition this restart start RecovManager...  Uh, excuse the "duh" question, but I guess you can't have a SINGLE partition active at a time, correct?

  The question is a little more complicated.  When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask?  At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on.  I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!

  «mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»

  The bios will not be affected.

• Cannot install windows 8 on Pavilion Elite M9600T (KX745AV-ABA) with Vista 64 BIT

  I can't install windows 8 on my computer. I contacted Microsoft and he has worked for three hours and said I had a problem of graphics card driver. I use a Nvidia GeForce 9800GT, which came with the computer.  When I try to upgrade to the latest driver (306.97) located on the Microsoft Update site and also on the Nvidia site, the screen says no signal and falls asleep. I worked with a rep from Nvidia for a week now and he says this isn't their driver that is causing the problem and I have to contact HP. I don't know what else to do. I deleted the working driver Nvidia (SP41066) also and tried to install windows 8 and received the same message "Windows installation was not successful" and me back to Vista 64-bit. I don't know what else to do. Can someone please, or am I just out of luck. Thank you

• Cannot get online after installing windows XP Edition family on my laptop which was origally XP PRO

  I have a laptop HP Compaq 6830 s that had xp professional did not get a disc of bone with it when buying. The system crashed 0x0000007B error code. I installed OS XP Home version Pro Version and now I't does not recognize my modem or ethernet. Cannot get online. I'll tho the HP site and they don't have that driver for XP Pro Downloads Home Version. I go to the Device Manager and have question marks on the following - ethernet controller (PCI bus 134, device 0, function 0), network controller (bus PCI 3, device 0, function 0), PCI Device (device function 27 of the PCI bus 0 0), Universal serial bus (PCI bus 0, device 29, function 7) (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller (bus PCI 0) (, 26, function 7 device), unknown device (on PCI bus) properties, the properties of the unknown device (on system compatible ACPI Microsoft) and the properties of video controller (VGA Compatible) (bus PCI 1, device 0, function 0) all the points mark have (Code 28). Is there any wat I can fix this or should I install OS XP PRO?

  Go here--> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  Enter the model of your computer.  If you just enter 'Compaq 6830 s' you get 3 choices.

  For example, I clicked on the link below and select the link for "XP Professional" coming to this page--> http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3688717&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3688712&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093

  You're right; There are a large number of items on this page.  You may be able to refine things if you enter your full product number, but if not, here are some general indications:

  "" For each of the downloads, click each tab on the download page and read the information on 'Description' improvements,' 'Instructions of Installation","System requirements"," Release Notes, "and"Revision history" before you install the downloaded driver.

  • Start by "Driver - Chipset" and use "9.1.0.1007 a (January 16, 2009).»
  • Then go to "driver - storage.»  Install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver.  Optional, but probably very desirable, install the new version of HP 3D DriveGuard.  You probably don't need (at least for now), the driver of chip card reader (unless you have an external drive of smart card).
  • Then go to "- Audio driver." Install the driver Microsoft UAA and the most recent drivers SoundMax ADI.
  • Then go to 'Pilot - graphics.' Install the new ATI video driver.
  • Then go to "driver - network."  It's a little more complicated.  Install the Marvel Yukon Gigabit Ethernet controller driver.  This will allow you to connect to your cable or DSL or your router by Ethernet cable.  You must determine if your particular laptop has an Intel or Broadcom wireless adapter.  Looking in the Device Manager in the "Network adapter" section, you should be able to make this identification.  Install the driver for the appropriate device.  If you believe that your laptop is Bluetooth compatible, install this driver as well.  The HP "wireless Wizard" is optional.  I would delay installing this at this stage.
  • Then go to "Driver - keyboard, mouse and input devices."  Install the Synaptics Touchpad driver and one for the HP Quick Launch buttons.

  At this point, most of your hardware should work correctly.  If there is always warning icons in Device Manager, you should be able to understand... or ask again here.  Read the 'Description' for other downloads to see if this is something you want or need.  Be aware, however, that many "Software" downloads are only updates or patches and not the complete package (which probably would have been preinstalled on a new computer.

  When I try to install Windows XP Home (including SP3) on my new L350D-11 has a blue screen after loading the drivers.
  When booting with Kubuntu Live CD (8.x) appears an error message: / sbin/modprobe out anomalous.

  At least I need Windows XP because of some programs that do not work under Vista. Is it possible to install XP?

  Hello

  Hmm I think the BSOD appears because you didn t add SATA drivers in the Win XP operating system.

  However, you can try to install Win XP on your laptop without the use of the SATA driver, but you can change the SATA AHCI in the BIOS in compatible mode.

• I installed windows 7 update disk 64 Edition family everything has worked until I installed the companion disc

  installation is stuck configuration of the 67% .to windows updates anyone at - it had similar problems

  Hi oldcooter,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

  I have a few questions for a better understanding of the issue:

  (a) concerning the update? Updates are generally like KBXXXXX

  (b) you are able to get out of the window which provides the update?

  (c) are you able to cancel the update and start of the desktop

  You'd have to try these methods and check that you fixed the issue:

  Method 1:

  Reset Windows components using this link which contains fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Method 2:

  Install the latest Windows Setup program, and then run Windows Update and check if that helps.

  Method 3:

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

  Follow the steps below to put your computer in a clean boot state:

  Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

  1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.

  2. click on the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  3. on the general tab, click Selective startup , and then clear the Startup items load check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

  4. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then all disable.

  Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  5. click on OK, then restarting.

  Check the link to learn more about the clean boot below:

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. on the general tab , click the Normal startup option, and then OK.

  3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart .
