Portege R30-A-137 - removing Windows 8 and Windows 7 installation

Hello

I have a laptop Portege R30-A-137 with Windows 8 is installed and that you should remove w8 and install Windows 7.
According to the documentation, the computer has a preinstalled version of Windows 7, but I Don t know how to install it.

I only have windows restore discs 8.
Recording of operating system pre-installed on usb and boot the computer with him, only to reinstall win 8.

Is it possible to install windows preinstalled 7 on this computer?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you mixed up of some important facts:
Laptop Portege R30-A-137 is pre-installed Win 7 64 bit professional. You don't need t install this new OS if its installed!
8.1 Pro DVD extra Win came with the laptop.

Win 7 64 bit is installed, but there is NO disk/medium.
That is why it s recommended to create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the software creator recovery media Toshiba preinstalled.
This recovery disk can be used in case you have changed the system for example to win 8.1 and want to come back to Win 7.

Has been mentioned in the user manual!

  • Portege A600 - peripheral unknown after Windows 7 installation

    All the g ' Day.

    I've got an A600 (original Vista) I recently installed Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (reformat/reinstall). I was careful with the installation order. All right except the built-in camera does not work and there is managing an unknown controller PCI Communications Simple in the device. Without a doubt, the two are linked.

    I tried to reload the drivers for the chipset without result. The unknown device is bus PCI 0, device 3, function 0. Is it possible to determine what this device is so I can find the missing driver?

    Hey Buddy,

    Can you post the vendor and the device of this unknown device ID? It would be useful to identify it.
    => [How to identify an unknown device (e.g. LAN wireless module)? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]

    But the PCI communication controller could mean the webcam in your case I would try to install the driver for the webcam of the official website of Toshiba. After installation, you should be able to start the webcam software, and use the webcam.

  • Portege R30 does not SSD start after upgrade SSD and HDD

    Hello

    I have improved my Portege R30 - A to add a second SSD (Crucial M550) replace the optical with the new SSD drive with caddy.

    But now the system does not start automatically from the original SSD.

    I could press F12 while turning on my laptop and make it appear the start guide. Here I can see my original SSD and I can boot from it properly.

    In order to boot in the BIOS, I see only the HDD/SSD, USB, ODD memory... It doesn't gives me the possibility to choose between SSDS.

    In any case when I boot in this way than getting blue screens after awhile in win7.

    I tried to install a HARD drive as the second drive instead os SSD and her resut is the same.

    Is that what I can do to solve this, now I have to use the second drive as an external USB drive.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This ODD of SSD/HDD replacement is not always possible and in many cases, the BIOS will not handle and will not recognize the new HARD disk correctly.

    That I can remember some old laptops Toshiba Tecra and Portege that supported the functionality of Slim Select Bay were able to manage the 2nd HARD drive instead of driving WEIRD, but this was not possible due to the available selection slim Bay.

    In your case it looks like the laptop so that the BIOS does not support this function and, therefore, the additional SSD/HDD isn't recognised correctly.

  • How can I recover my Vista and remove Windows?

    Hi, my daughter send me Windows 7 since the Switzerland and said it can be installed in 3 PC, I install and now can not register because it is not the case and I need to remove the Windrow and revert to Vista 32, I download the recovery disc for my Toshiba but how I can recover my Vista and Windows delete & is not unclear to me. I was told that it is very easy to do if you know how.

    > I have download the my Toshiba Recovery disk
    I put t know what you downloaded, but you have not downloaded a Toshiba Recovery disk because the recovery disc can not be downloaded!

    > but how can I recover my Vista and Windows delete
    If you have an original Toshiba recovery disc then put it in the CD/DVD drive and the start of this drive.
    The recovery disk would start and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

    Installation of recovery disk would format the whole HDD (!) which means you n t need to delete anything before starting the installation of the recovery disc! Recover disc remove everything!

  • Can I safely remove Windows: images and faxes from my computer?

    I am running Windows XP and need help.  When you download a pdf file, then try to launch or save to downloads for open with Adobe Reader, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer jumps forward and displays a message indicating that no preview is available in full-screen.  Can I eliminate this problem by removing Windows Picture and Fax Viewer on my computer, since I never use images and faxes in any case.  If it is safe to do so, how can I go about it?  Thank you

    Pat J

    Why not check your file Associations for you ensure that when XP meets a PDF file, it will use Adobe Reader to open it (or if some PDF reader you choose).

    To do this, in Windows Explorer, click Tools, folder, File Types options and find the PDF file extension.

    If it is not associated with Adobe Reader, click on edit and select Adobe Reader and put a checkmark in the box to "always use the selected program to open this type of file", click OK and close.

    You can get similar results by right-clicking a PDF file, choose open with..., choose the program, etc.

    See how things work now.

  • Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Original title: Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error

    Yesterday, I removed several components of windows to attempt to clean my cpu. After the reboot, I noticed that my DVD drive disappeared. I tried to update the driver but told me I have the most updated version, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but I still get the same error. Under Driver Details, it shows that I have a lot of drivers for my Phillips DVD player. However, the status of the device is the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I've done the troubleshooting, and the two options has not fixed the problem.

    Then I tried to add windows components that I removed, thinking maybe that was the problem. However, when I try to add them, I get an error message that says: 'Setup cannot copy the file zClientm.ex_' it shows the location of this file as being in windows/i386, and of course, the file is located in this folder. So when I go to browse to locate the file, I find and click on it to open it, but I keep getting the same error message that the file is not found and Setup cannot continue.

    I realize that this problem seems very rare and weird, but any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.
