• 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.

• Need help with installing Win7 on Satellite L70-A-12W

  I bought Satellite L70-A-12W with preinstalled victory 8.1 two days ago... I have no recovery of win7, but I have Win7 64 Bit DVD new.
  I would like to install win 7. I follow the instructions concerning the closing down, on Bios (I have version 1.3) safety boot is disabled and the boot mode is MSC mode.

  I did a recovery on USB media if something with is wrong. Earn 8.1 I installed Paragon Partition Manager 14 (free version) and see the Partition Table. It UriPattern like this:
  1 partition - system - 1-GB NTFS (Partition of Service);
  2. partition (no name) - 100 MB - it's the gray color.
  3 partition (local partition) - 128 MB;
  4 partition C: (win 8.1) - Go 920 - NTFS drive.
  5. partition - recovery - 10.1 GB - NTFS (Partition OEM Service).

  I would like to keep evrything what is, if possible, and instead og Win8.1 install Win 7 ultimate 64-bit (which I have). And after than that, resize this partition of 100 GB and make a second partition private for my data - partition D: - for example.

  I did things in the BIOS and win7 DVD and got error massage: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT Style partition...

  I found a solution to clean the disc in the BACK, but I'm not sure that I have with this procedure will delete oll data disc. I'll guarantee loos e if I do this... If all other partitions will remain instead of C--> I can always make backup returns with media recovery with win 8.1 and hopes to keep the warranty.

  Now, I don't know what I have to do...

  I would just have win 7 on my laptop with minimal change to the partition table and all the partitions instead of C (where now is win 8.1).

  Could you please help me...

  Hello

  The question is: why you want to keep the present partitions on the HARD disk.
  Using two systems Win 8 and Win 7 on this laptop?

  The fact is that if you want to use only Windows 7, it s not appropriate to keep the old partitions on the HARD disk.

  Secondly, you already have the Toshiba Recovery flash memory stick.
  This recovery media allows you to return to the factory settings.

  This means that recover the laptop using this memory flash USB stick recovery would again create the same partitions and install the Win 8.1 System.

  Finally and above all Windows 7 supports 4 primary partitions as primary partitions are applicable to the tables of partition MBR and partition table MBR allow four primary partitions.

  After you create the primary partition 4th Windows system will accept only the volumes 'Dynamics' (logical drives). You must create an extended partition containing many logical partitions.

  However, if you use a table of GPT partition that is supported by the 64-bit Windows versions, you can configure up to 128 partitions and you need t differ between "primary" and "extended" partitions

  In addition, the GPT partition table also requires the UEFI BIOS.

• Need help to install Win7 on Satellite CL10-b-103

  Good afternoon mate,

  I come to you because I gave this mini laptop, Toshiba CL10-b-103, who doesn't have a DVD drive and only 32 GB HDD (which there are only 21 free for the issue of the hidden restore and partition)

  My intention is to install a win7 sp1 to make it lighter and have more space on the HARD drive.

  And I'm going crazy,

  The bios is quite simple, you can turn off only an option that says 'safe start' (which in some forum in English is advised to try to defuse what I do).

  And change the boot priority (leaving only USB and HDD / SDD). Nothing comes of the CSM or something, who has also read by some forum also had to turn it off.

  I'm first, I put usb firstly you have to shoot the laptop and there is no way to read a usb win7.

  I do an install of win7 usb bootable with the support of the EFI (apparently these new EFI this notebook, according to lei, you must prepare them in a special way) as a result of this blog:

  http: //biglimesoftwa...dows-7-u-8.html

  And no, do not read! There is no way that between usb!

  I also did a USB bootable, following another forum, with an application called Rufus, but nothing not even read.

  How the companions? I'm doing something wrong?

  Is it possible that the laptop is, is totally gelding to format and install another OS?

  See if you can help me, I'm desperate...

  Thanks in advance and greetings from Spain,

  Update:

  I used the WinSetupFromUSB and make it bootable USB with this utility, I managed to read the USB, but all of a sudden comes this screen:

  

  Exactly the same problem (Toshiba CL10-b-103 too), but I went deeper in the research and found that the BIOS version of this laptop does not support UEFI/CMS. Updated my BIOS to the latest version (which is for the moment, the 5.00 08/07/15 - WIN) but still does not work. I was already angry with their fu * skate that brings me to kill the process "pad experience" every time you start.

  I would like to install ubuntu, but nothing works, even with a USB cable or directly on the C drive (note that I ruined my USB while flashing it, but in any case it was my fault). Any advice, tips?

  In the case where someone would say "boot option is in the Advanced tab' this isn't for me, regarding the kikeastur. Sorry for digging it up with this topic, but I do not see why I would create a new that I have exactly the same problem.

  Thanks in advance

• I need drivers to install Win7 64 bit on mSATA SSD

  Hello!

  I need drivers to install WIN7 x 64 on THNSNH256GMCT mSATA SSD

  Serial number on my product is 23NS10BFTABY

  Thank you!

  This serial number does not help much. It will be better if you can display the name of the exact model laptop and the model number.

  Anyway, visit Toshiba support and download page for your country and if your laptop model is supported for Win7 64 bit, you should be able to find all of the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.

• Guard application launch at the start of the appliance, also need advice for the implementation of network methods

  Hi all

  I'm new to the development of Blackberry and I'm writing a relatively simple application to run on 7.1.

  So far the development was interesting, I managed to create my user interface using resources online (mainly this forum), but today I tried to implement some of the network classes that I need and now I just met constant problems.

  I use Eclipse SDK 3.7.2 (the one that comes with the plugin RIM)

  First question:

  I'm not sure what I changed, but today I noticed that whenever I start the Simulator (by sim 9360) my application is started during the initial startup process. I don't think he did this before, but to be honest, I wasn't paying much attention. I think it starts at the start of the device is because I put a breakpoint in the constructor for my class from the main screen, which is hit before the Simulator happens even to the point where it is ready for user interaction. In addition, once it is ready, if I press the BB button, I see my registered application.

  I don't have it set to automatic start in .xml descriptior enforcement.

  I started this application on the HelloBlackBerry sample, here is my main method for the entry of the application:

  public static void main( String[] args ) {
          appSettings = AppSettings.fetch();
          // Create a new instance of the application and make the currently
          // running thread the application's event dispatch thread.
          HelloBlackBerry theApp = new HelloBlackBerry();
          theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
          //openConnection();
  
      }
  
  
  

  As far as I know, this is the only entry point for the application.

  More code

      public HelloBlackBerry() {
          // Push a screen onto the UI stack for rendering.
          mainScreen = new ScreenHelloBlackBerry();
          pushScreen( mainScreen );
      }
  

  Here is the method of. my class AppSettings fetch()

      // Retrieves a copy of the effective properties set from storage.
      public static AppSettings fetch()
      {
          AppSettings savedSettings = (AppSettings) _store.getContents();
          return new AppSettings(savedSettings);
      }
  

  Some of this code that I wrote myself, the persistence store cause the launch of my car?

  I tried to reset the Simulator to the factory settings, no change.

  All applications initialized during the startup of the device and then closed shortly after?

  Part 2: Need advice for the implementation of functions of network in the application

  I need to implement some methods that will retrieve data from a web service, and I also need to send data to this service. What I've read, the ConnectionFactory is the way to go. I want my application to make a request when the application is open and can check on a set interval. I didn't know exactly how to go about adding another thread for networking, I understand that network connections should not be created on the thread main event, so I tried to do this:

  The constructor of my class that implements screen (ScreenHelloBlackBerry), I use the following to create a modal dialog box to prompt the user for a username, I also try networking wire in the same segment of spawning:

          public ScreenHelloBlackBerry(){...initialize fields and managers, add it all together...then near the end
  
  //This will open the confirm dialog when the application is launched
          UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    openConfirmDialog();
                  //start connection - Possibly broken
                    ConnectionThread ct = new ConnectionThread();
                    ct.start();
                }
          });
  

  I don't know if it's somehow OK to do, but it seems to work for what I need. I want a user who launches the application at the prompt, and if a user switch applications, when they come back they wondered again (unless they close the app and reopen it).

  Here is my ConnectionThread:

  public class ConnectionThread extends Thread
  {
  
      public void run()
      {
  
            ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory();
            ConnectionDescriptor connDesc;
            connDesc = connFact.getConnection("http://www.google.com");
            if (connDesc != null)
            {
                HttpConnection httpConn;
                httpConn = (HttpConnection)connDesc.getConnection();
                try
                {
                    final int iResponseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
                    UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable()
                    {
                        public void run()
                        {
                            Dialog.alert("Response code: " +
                                          Integer.toString(iResponseCode));
  
                        }
                     });
                    httpConn.close();
  
                 }
                 catch (IOException e)
                 {
                   System.err.println("Caught IOException: "
                        + e.getMessage());
                 }
            }
      }
  }
  

  At the moment it has basically unmodified code from a sample that I found, I'll be retooling to meet my needs whenever I can make it work. I HAD this work to the point where, after the closed user confirm this dialog, a few moments later a an alert dialog appears with the 302 response code. I don't know what changed, but now it doesn't work at all, and if I try to scroll with the debugger, I can't past the httpCon.getResponseCode (). I've seen some mistakes earlier on "no record of service was set up", and I also had once a timeout exception.

  I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but at the same time as I said WAS working, and now it is not. If someone has done this far, thank you very much for your time and advice are much appreciated.

  Also, should I try to start the thread of the network of the UIApplication class instead of the screen? There is currently very little happening in the class that extends UIApplication, do I spend most of my business logic out of the class of the screen and in the UIApplication class?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi all

  Just to conclude this topic for those who are interested, I found an excellent guide to the implementation of networks in applications of BB, click here for a link.

  About my application being started at the start of the simulator of the device, I found that on a device real this behavior is not complied with, and in addition, the behaviour seems to have stopped after uninstallation and reinstallation of my Simulator.

  See you soon,.

• Need for DVI, HDMI on Satellite A300-15 b output

  My toshiba laptop Satellite A300-15 b has only a VGA and S-video out;
  It has an Ati Radeon HD 3650 512 MB graphics card that supports hdmi and dvi, FullHD;

  I know that dvi and hdmi are of better quality than vga, so how can I connect my laptop to the dvi and hdmi ports to get the full quality?

  I think as a limitation on the taken resolutions dynadock supported?
  There is the vga - dvi converters, are good? and how to get quality hdmi and give the hdmi output? thanx

  Hello

  I doubt you'd be able to get HD quality on external monitor using this laptop.
  As you say the book contains the outputs VGA and S-video.
  The s-video port allows you to connect a TV to the laptop computer and the VGA to connect the external monitor.

  But the two ports provide analog video signals. The DVI and HDMI are digital ports and it s not possible to convert the analog signal into a digital signal.

  Of course you can use some cards but are not converter and I doubt that these adapters would improve the video quality.

  Sometimes when I press FN + brighten it works but nothing appears on my laptop as it was when I had xp too, I bought my Toshiba of UAE UNITED.

  Hello

  I have satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Everything works perfectly. It is very important to install all the drivers, tools and utilities, following the right installation order, so here is the list how I did it:

  Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and clean Win7

  -Win7 (original Microsoft installation disc)
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba

  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

• 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:

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

  Intel® 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.

• Installing Win7 on Satellite C50-A-1john - lack of options of UEFI

  Hey all, this is my first post, but have been an active reader for a while, ive looked for this problem on the forum, but have not found someone in my prediciment?

  week 2 old C50 was pulled off the table by the dog so I lost the screen but the HARD drive was allowed as its been enslaved until my mac while the screen was fixed so I could continue to work.

  When I came back, I have no device start-up etc... reading here once again an update of the bios will sort it so I thought Ill go back to the good old windows 7.

  I want 7, back so I understand from reading here on all secure boot disable, Uefi stuff blah blah but my machine has system BIOS CBS version 1.00 1.10 so these options are not available

  I also announced that the hard drive is now formatted to use my other computer toshiba laptop.

  Now the part of Catch 22!

  I want to update bios to 1.30, as says the toshiba site that will give me the uefi options so I can load win 7 but its engine to be updated only through windows and as above I now have an empty formatted drive and not be able to boot from a drive USB or CD because of MI of 1.10 bios a bit confused to how I can update the bios without windows and with the old bios does not allow me access to USB or CD?

  any ideas?

  I have the ability to slave the drive on my mac or another computer toshiba laptop, so heads tech here I should (although long route) somehow the picture any thing on the disc whatsoever victory 8 "Yuck" as it has been bundled with and then update the bios, blat in car and then load win7? long-term, but might work? but once again with the no boot warning device that I can't see myself doing anything other than approaching the bin with the laptop

  Help: D and thanks for reading.

  Ed

  > How do I update the bios without windows and with the old bios does not allow me access to USB or CD?
  It is not possible.

  You need system Windows installed for updating the BIOS.
  If you have not created the recovery discs (or a USB support) in the past, you can order the disk recovery (containing Win 8.1) on this page:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Then you could recover the factory back to laptop (Win 8.1) settings and could update the BIOS.

  _By the way: _ did you try to change the Startup Mode without updating the BIOS?
  Disable secur boot in the Bios, saving the changes. Then boot into the BIOS again and now you can check if the CSM mode would appear as an available option.

• Linux drivers for ATI 3470 on Satellite A300 - 15 k?

  I have laptop Satellite A300 - 15 k with Ati 3470, there is no driver for linux on Ati or site Toshiba, how to install Linux 3470? :(

  Hello

  Toshiba does not provide support for linux at this time. There have been rumors that they would install Linux on their machines, but they have not been confirmed and I know: as long as they don t preinstall something on their laptop, they absolutely can't stand.

  Usually, it shouldn't be a problem to install your graphics card under linux, according to which you´re use distribution you should check the appropriate forum (for example if you installed ubuntu, then check out the ubuntu forums..)

• Mousepad & keyboard do not work under Win7 on Satellite A300-1BZ

  Hello

  I just installed Windows 7 on my laptop that is about a year now, but the mouse pad and keyboard do not work. No lights on the caps lock keys or anything either, the only way to get to work is to press the power button so that the laptop goes to sleep and then press it again to turn it back on, then wakes up the keyboard but the mouse pad still does not work.

  I can plug in a USB mouse and it works, but I would prefer if the keyboard and the touchpad just would first work place! However if I restart the computer using the touchpad keyboard then suddenly works.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  I upgraded my Satellite A300 to Win7 and two works of features perfectly.
  Did you upgrade or clean install of Win7?

  To be honest, it's a little strange. I installed Windows XP Home edition, Vista and now Win7 on my A300 but the touchpad and the keyboard worked fine all the time.

  Have you noticed this immediately after the departure of punch or later?

• Problem installing XP on Satellite A300 - driver SATA is an .exe file

  Hi all

  It could be a driver compatibility problem, but also missing some other patches or missing SP2 MS could cause this BSOD.
  So please make sure that you Win XP CD contains SP2 too.
