Not able to install any other OS on Satellite M70

I have a Toshiba M70-181 and my friend has a series of satellite Toshiba M70-189.

(a) we both are not able to install any other OS outside one (Windows XP Home edition (German)) provided with the product. Is it not possible to install any other OS? Toshiba does not support any other OS?

(b) we got a German OS with the product. Is it possible that we can get a recovery CD English replacement for the Germany that we have. If yes how?

(c) is it possible to install Linux on the laptop 2 above?

(d) if it is not possible to install any other OS is so their a workaround so that we can install another OS?

Hello

Normally there is no problem to install another OS. Just boot from the installation of the desired OS CD and it runs.

But getting the system to operate with all functions is not so easy, as Toshiba only supports Windows XP for the M70. If you want to use another language or XP Pro, there is no problem, because the drivers and software are almost the same.

But Linux or something else, to pick up on other places for drivers to work (if they already exist). I remember that I saw some people who got their system works with Linux on this forum.

Replace the recovery CD is unfortunately not possible. If you want XP in English, you need a full version of XP in English from Microsoft.

Good bye

  • Not able to install any updates for my computer Error 1606 could not access network location % APPDATA%\. How can I fix it?

    I can't install any updates for my computer at all, even the window updates is one of the many error messages I receive, Error 1606 could access the location %APPDATA%\ network. How can I fix it?

    Hello

    This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

    The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.

    WARNING:

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

    Here are the steps to fix it.

    Step 1:

    a. Click Start, click Run, type ""regedit ' in the Open box, and then click OK. "

    b. find the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

    c. remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

    Step 2:

    886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549:

    Open Regedit a. once again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value.

    b. type the value name that you want to restore (AppData), and then press ENTER.

    c. right-click on this value, click modify, type the value in the value data for the value name box and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

    Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

    Hi Mike,.

    Thanks for the reply, the steps were actually written originally for Windows XP and are still valid. As you can see in the SubinACL download it is designed to work in all versions of windows.

  • Not able to install firefox updates

    I downloaded the new firefox updates, but not able to install. I followed the steps.
    1. check if no instance of firefox is running in the Task Manager
    2 lunch Firefox as administrator.
    3. click on Yes
    4. it begins to install.
    5 throws an error as several instance of firefox running.
    6. tried this couple of times, but of no use. Every time error.
    7. no created dumps.

    Do a clean install (re)-:

    • Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
    • http://www.Mozilla.com/Firefox/all.html
    • Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
    • Do not erase personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    • 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.

    You don't need to create a new profile, which is not necessary for this issue

    Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

    What is the problem with that?

    WHAT is the RISK of "low side" if I ever install update #KB951847) x 86

    Jim,

    KB951847 is an option, not the security update. Feel free to hide it.

    I. - Stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    II. - remove the contents of the download file:

    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    III. - Open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com & run a CUSTOM scan. Uncheck the box/deselect KB951847 and hide ("don't show me this update"). -right click it once HIDE

    Tip: If an update of root certificates is listed in updates software optional (in the menu on the left), install it to take full advantage of enhanced Internet Explorer security, but do NOT install any other optional software , nor updates optional hardware , just hide them, too.
