• Satellite X 200-219 - move from Vista to Win 7

  Hello

  at the end of the month I intend to remove Vista from my machine (Toshiba X 200-219) and install Windows 7 Pro with my uni offer now for £30.
  In the process, I'm going to save all my data on an external hard drive, then remove everything on portable hard drives 2, and then to change the partitions of the disk (75 GB) c and d ' training (150 GB) and disk (75 GB) f c (150 GB) and d road (150 GB).

  First of all I want just some information about the modification of partitions according to this (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-1_15.htm) installation guide for windows 7 it relatively easy as all I do is delete the specific partition (in this case f) and it adds to the first walk c.
  I just want to know what is correct or not, or what I need to do something different.

  Secondly when I am in the phase of the backup operation, I want to have a backup of the vista recovery partition image.
  Unfortunately I can't find anywhere on the hard drives. I have activated the hidden folders and still can't find, I know came with the laptop recovery CD is just a driver cd and has no operation on this cd.
  Is it possible to request a cd of vista? I have the cd key on the bottom of my laptop to prove I have a genuine copy.

  I just want to help to have a clean install of windows 7 with partitions of decent sizes on this matter and having to hand a back up of vista is that anything should go wrong.

  > I know came with the laptop recovery CD is just a driver cd and has no operation on this cd.
  That s bad!
  The Toshiba Recovery disk contains image files. The image is a package that contains the Windows operating system (Vista), Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities.
  Therefore, backup your personal data only.
  The recovery disk will install the Vista and drivers still on your laptop.

  In addition during the Win 7 installation process, the installer will provide an option to remove or change the size of the partitions
  So the easiest way would be to format the entire HARD drive, then create 2 partitions.

• Satellite A300: Move from Vista to Win 7 OS - Upgarde isue

  (2) how to ensure that all drivers in particular for all software from toshiba as "Disc Creator", "WLAN", "BT", 'Recovery disc creator', 'Toshiba DVD Utilities', "System Diagnostics" will be mounted like new?

  Thanks in advance.

  > 1) if I format 'C' and install Win7 fresh, will be that I can use the recovery disk (stored on 'E') option to boot - recovery option F8 - repair - HDD to swith back to original Vista at any time?

  No, if you install Windows 7 on the C partition would have replaced the old Vista Boot Manager and disk for Vista recovery option will not be available.

  (> 2) how to ensure that all drivers in particular for all software from Toshiba as "Disc Creator", "WLAN", "BT", 'Recovery disc creator', 'Toshiba DVD Utilities', 'System Diagnostics' will be installed as new?

  Well, if you install Windows 7 and then the tools mentioned as Recovery Disc Creator or commercial DVD Toshiba could not be used because these done software part if the image only Toshiba! So if you are using Windows 7, you can buy such tools.
  All other drivers can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.

Not only use the personal media drive Bay and two bays of lightscribe disc, I upgraded the video card and the power supply because I run also three external hard drives more (which actually a total of six hard drives run continuously).  I want to spend all or just possibly the main hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium personal multimedia hard disk.  Is it better to buy the disc or download the software?  In addition, how is it difficult to make the switch?  Even with good backups, I have heard horror stories of losing part or all of the files or have things so scrambled that it is almost impossible to find what you are looking for.  ANY help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Mr. w.

  Hello

  It's always a good idea to have a paper copy of a disc (for resettlement and repairs).

  And Yes, backup all your data as 'can' happen during an upgrade that is supposed to be easy.

  This is a very good guide for what you want to do:

  Make sure you go from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit to be able to do an upgrade.

  «How To Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium»

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/6892/how-to-perform-an-upgrade-from-Vista-to-Windows-7/

  And follow these steps first:

  Go to the HP website and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

  Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

  • Firefox 21.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

  Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

  • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will lose all personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  If you keep problems also create a new profile.

• Move from vista to windows 7 on the same computer. Is it necessary to make a "transfer"?

  I'm doing an upgrade on my computer from vista to windows 7.

  Am a little confused about the need to "transfer" of data to an external source.

  What is a precautionary measure, used to retrieve the data if something terrible happens?

  Or is it that, after the upgrade to windows 7, the data is then "transferred", back on the computer newly improved?

• After the upgrade from vista to win 7 can install vista on another system?

  I have an older system which will be an upgrade of vista, can I use my vista software and the key for the upgrade of the old system because I upgraded vista to win 7?

  If you have used the license system / operating of Vista as part of the Windows 7 upgrade process: No.

  You cannot use your Vista license anywhere else if it is part of the Windows 7 upgrade process.

It would start and after the endless restore operations and the uninstall of a program is not necessary and Fix - It 10 computer sort of works with a particular message. I was too mean a charge of £30 for a recovery disk for the Equius which has Vista Home OS. Now he is a true OEM CD of WIN XP I have in my possession. I bought and used on a desktop computer that I finally took to the discharge of the Council when it has stopped working.

• Tecra R10-11 b move from Vista to XP

  Hello

  Got my Tecra new, very nice!

  In addition it has Vista and my company uses Lotus notes and 99.9% are XP so if I need help, I'm in trouble!

  I have the disc, which says it is the recovery of the product (top) and Windows XP Professional (bottom)

  I put the disc in but nothing not jumps saying me Windows XP

  Can you anyone help me to get rid and welcome back XP :-)

  Thank you
  D t

  Hello

  If you have received a disk of Windows XP Toshiba Recovery then you should be able to downgrade the Tecra for Win XP OS.
  You must know that the Toshiba Recovery disk is not the same as the original Windows XP disc! The recovery disk, you can find image files.

  In order to start the recovery procedure, you will have to boot from that disk.
  But note; the whole HARD disk may be formatted! So if necessary backup data first!
