Pavilion 15-P153NM: cannot install Win 64 bit 8 or 8.1 on Pavilion 15-P153NM

Hello.

I bought the Pavilion 15-P153NM with FreeDos. BIOS version is f13.

I have an installation DVD of Win 8 with release 8.1 on it.

I get this message: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks.

Edit: I tried this solution http://support.hp.com/za-en/document/c03445889 and I can't quite find way Sources of EFI boot or storage.

Edit: I do this? https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=pb6tECZP6WE

Guess which will remove stuff installed HP, such as HP documents or whatever.

Waiting for advice. Thank you.

You can convert MBR TPG, to achieve this goal, you can use the disc management.but with this tool, you can convert olny to empty disk GPT om, if the data on the disk, you must delete all the prior to conversion. to avoid data Delete, you can try third-party software AOMEI Wizard Partition MBR TPG to convert without data loss

    You must install the Intel Matrix Storage first Manager by using the external USB FDD drive.
    If you don t have an external USB FDD drive and then use a freeware program called nLite.

  • Cannot install win 10

    I tried 4 times to install win 10

    3 times from Microsoft updates

    Once the download tool with the media

    I get this same result each time

    It downloads ok (win 10) then I get the Setup screen with the big circle and the percentage in it

    This files copy ok, and then restart the computer, then the installation continues and is now features drivers installation, that's fine, computer restarts again and should complete part 3, what configuration settings, the dell logo comes up then screen goes black, I waited an hour and it remained black no cursor showing

    After the time, which I turned off it and on again once he said to try to recover the installation, the screen went black, waited half an hour, nothing.

    It turned off again and after the logo dell, that said, restore a previous version of windows

    I tried 4 times

    It will not complete the installation.

    With the media the message tool download was "installation failed in the phase of second_boot with an error during the start operation.

    My computer is an Inspiron 17 (7737) earning 8.1 64-bit, dell said that it is up to date

    This could well be the culprit.

    Personally, I will no longer try upgrading to Win10 until I can update my BIOS.

    Just a reminder, better backup your system (and not just your data) and set your boot USB or DVD order (according to your solution to rescue is in) before attempting a BIOS flash Gordon.

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.

    ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS HARD DRIV IS GOOSED, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE SO EASILY CORRECTED.

    Hi mate

    I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
    Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
    Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
    Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

    PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk

    Hello

    I had similar problems with my laptop 64-bit Windows 7 & iTunes.  Finally, I have iTunes installed 10.5.1.42, thanks to a friend who has downloaded onto a CD using their Apple laptop.

    The installation of thin attempts, where the previous CD was working using the direct download did not, despite trying many options, such as turning off the firewall and virus checkers and using another Manager download (Softonic) instead of iTunes.

    Downloaded Softonic iTunes 10.4 despite my 10.5 selection, and despite it, saying he was downloading 10.5.  iTunes installed 10.4 successfully, unfortunately I needed 10.5 to update my iPhone OS.

    When I saw the 10.5 iTunes download (downloaded via iTunes), using 7 - zip, the message "broken file" appears next to each file in the screen of 7 - zip.  It seems that the problem was with a corrupted download.

    Once I installed iTunes 10.5.1.42 from the CD, I went to update my iPhone OS via iTunes and my computer laptop 64 bit of Windows 7, but guess what... download corrupted file iPhone OS.  If the same friend upgraded my iPhone OS using their Apple laptop.  I then synch had the iPhone with my own laptop.

    If you want to boot from an external source (other then the internal HARD disk), you need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

    But as far as I know the BIOS supports boot devices: USB FDD, primary HARD disk, USB memory and network (LAN)

    Hello

    You was not able to install the Windows operating system because you have not installed the SATA drivers that are needed to recognize the new SATA HDD controller.
    The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

    You can build an own Windows disc using nLite software and might include drivers SATA on this CD.

    I recommend research and read the forum discussions related this topic.
    There is a lot of discussion on the same topic!

  • Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 SCCM 2012 R2 environment

    Hi all

    Series laptops Z Sattelite impossible to install OS (win 8.1) of our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.

    No installation or pxe boot interrupted error is shown.
    The environment is used in order to correctly install the operating system (win 8.1) on various other seller computers (dell) and the VMS (hyper-v and vmware).

    I tried boot UEFI and CMS options and tried to turn off the secure boot. Please advice.

    Also, I read on the 'package to install SCCM for Toshiba. This will help in my situation or it's just the driver for SCCM packages?

    Best regards, Evgeny.

    I assume you mean on this package from Toshiba:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/

    I put t have much experience using this drive package SCCM, but it is certainly compatible with professional Toshiba laptops. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the range of the company, and I think that the package must be compatible.
    This package seems to be for all administrators that manage devices on the network of business with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new SCCM Toshiba package a solution to integrate other laptop to an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all the Driver from Toshiba and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.

    However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]

    By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in which case the UEFI BIOS is available). But the start of another external source requires the secure boot disabled option.
    Then maybe you should use the UEFI mode but must clear the safe boot option to boot from LAN.

  • Satellite U400 - 14 p PSU44E: cannot install Win XP - black screen

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba U400 - 14 p (i-e-U400-PSU44E) a few weeks and I can not install XP on it.

    I boot with a cd XP (tweak with nlite where I added my AHCI drivers and SP3). But at startup time, the system tells me that will attempt to recognize my hardware and then I have a screen_ _dark
    I don't have the blue screen where I can press F6 to install the SATA driver.

    So that's what I tried to solve my problem:

    -Flash bios => same thing
    -Boot with an external cd usb => same thing
    -Made a lot of tweak XP cd with SP2, SP3 wathever => same thing
    -Sacrifice a chicken and asking the old spirit of help-online the same thing: D :D

    _Some tell me I'm a tattooed bios_ how can I get around this?

    I try to boot with a usb floppy again. Because I have no one and it is so vast!

    Guess that's it's the same thing. It will be hard to swallow :(

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    > I boot with a cd XP (tweak with nlite where I added SP3 and my AHCI drivers
    Can I ask you what you used SATA drivers?

    I have a U400 to and Win XP has been installed without any problem of bug.
    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains all the necessary SATA files which should be integrated into the XP CD.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 PS460E - cannot install Win XP

    Since there are 2 variants of numbers on this laptop, am confused abit as forums to post on, appologise if I am wrong again.

    Am pretty much run out of idea what could be the problem, so in a last effort to try to solve this problem, I thought to post it here.

    I have a Toshiba SP4600 series (model PS460E), I went to format and reinstall a fresh XP install, it has now got a new 60gig IDE HARD drive, currently only 128meg ram, as it is not easy to find, and I did not belive he can handle a lot of anways.

    To start the automatic windows boot from the CD-ROM drive, it crosses all pretty fine, you see all the options of drivers loading etc. at the bottom of the screen. He then came to the "Setup starts Windows' and just hangs, does not move, do not disable, does nothing, just stay on that screen and nothing else, the CD-Rom and HARD drive seem to just stop as well.

    The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.

    I used a large number of diagnostic tools, to test the memory, hard drive, card mother/etc, the only one who crashed out bombed was a stress test version that starts ok, then 15 minutes crashses, so not sure it would be.

    No idea how to fix this?

    as am enough out of all atm ideas :/

    > The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.
    Did the same problem occurs using the old 20 GB HARD drive?
    If the same thing happened with the smaller HARD drive so I guess that this problem is NOT related to a HARD disk, but in another part

    Eventually he s a RAM who knows
    In many cases the RAM can be the problem when the laptop do not answer...

    What temperature?
    Have you noticed a temperature higher coming or warm air from the vents?
    The laptop seems to be old, maybe the cooling modules are dirty and cannot cool the processor properly?
    In such cases, it s advisable to clean the fan using a jet of compressed air

    In any case, I think you should also test the laptop with other RAM modules
