• Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

  I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
  But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.

  However I can't do!

  Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
  Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.

  I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.

  You guys have any ideas what to do?

• Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after upgrade to win 8 - can't turn WiFi switch

  After several months waiting for my hour I just began my Portege Z930 - 11G for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

  To a large extent, it went to the plan except that, after execution to display the Assistant Toshiba Upgrade I lost the Fn key and about half of the keys no longer seem to work at all.

  The only key I've ever used on a routine basis is the Fn + F8 option to activate the power switch WiFi.

  So now, I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.

  It must, surely, that there be a way to do it, but I'm not. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now because I have a local cable system in the House, but once I get out on the road I will fight without WiFi.

  Before running the wizard upgrade of the Fn key grew up the key appear in the upper part of the screen and I want to surely I had turned on WiFi right here.

  The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the possibility to do anything else than to disable five notifications screen for keyboard backlighting, power plan, touch pad and cursor overlay digital overlay.

  Any help gratefully received.

  > So now I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.
  First of all, you can enable and disable the WiFi using the function key, but you can also activate the WLan settings of Windows 8
  Key Win + C-> settings-> change PC settings-> wireless

  Now, you can use the cursor to wireless devices to enable or disable the WiFi network.

  But to get the FN button work you need to install the + Toshiba function key + Utility for win 8 and + Toshiba system driver + to win 8

• Portege Z930 - question of Toshiba Recovery Media Creator

  Hello
  I have a toshiba portege z930 pt234e with Windows 7 Professional
  I have connected the external optical drive and has worked fine
  But when I installed the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator, the external optical drive disappeared
  When I open the box drive HARD Toshiba Recovery Media Creator, shows, no. recovery!
  I want to do a system recovery disc

  Hello

  The Recovery Media Creator is a tool of Toshiba which requires Toshiba image files to create the recovery disk. The image files are placed on a different partition called recovery of HARD drive partition.

  If the HARD drive has been changed or deleted this partition, the recovery media creator will not be able to find image files and you will not be able to create this disc.

  So my question is: you reinstall Windows 7 at your own hand? Did you change the HARD drive in the past?

• Portege Z930 - 14 X - need key for the new installation of Windows 7

  Hello

  our company bought a Toshiba Portege Z930 - 14 X, and it is necessary to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.
  I read the installation key, but the key is not supposed to be activated, so does not work for a clean install.

  There is usually a sticker of license at the bottom of the device, but this laptop has nothing.

  So, where can I find this Windows 7 key?

  Kind regards
  GSUs

  > Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.

  If you want to use a clean Windows system, you must purchase the MS Windows disk containing the serial key.
  Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba image containing the OEM version of the Windows system and drivers. This image is already enabled. The series key isn t necessary.

• Portege Z930 - new Windows 7 and installing the driver

  I have a Toshiba Portege Z930 Ultrabook.

  I don't use it for a while because he was very very slow when navigating or attempt to perform other tasks. I scanned the system with several antivirus (now I have Avast and Fixila, but I also used Kaspersky and Norton) and nothing came.

  Now, I decided to reinstall Windows.
  So, I received a kit of Windows 7 Pro (it's the license granted with the laptop) and I'm fighting for a week to make it work properly.

  Now seems as graphics card does not work, I have most of the hard disk full some old files of windows, etc, etc.

  1. How is the right way to install a new version of windows on this laptop (without the old installation files) and use the accessories available on the laptop (graphics card, fingerprints... tool)

  And YES, I tried all THE drivers available on the Toshiba support successfully section only for the wireless card.

  2. have you had problems with the speed?

  Thank you
  Victor

  Hello

  > Now looks like graphics card does not.

  Does that mean exactly? Graphics card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager?
  In case it is, the driver is installed and works of the GPU.

  What Portege Z930-xxx are you?
  The exact part number might be useful to check the specs of the laptop.

  By the way: the driver / software installation is not very difficult.
  Forget the other Toshiba software if you n t want to install it
  Pick up the pilots only...

  However, some parts of the software as a value-added Package must be installed because this package installs a range of important public services.

• Portege Z930 - upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

  I bought the upgrade to 7 to 8 during this promotional offer in early 2013, but so far I was expecting a better time perform the upgrade. I'm doing the upgrade having prepared a USB pen with the ISO, I downloaded in 2013.

  However, after 20 minutes of work, about 99% it is said that the upgrade has failed.

  I read somewhere that it is perhaps because of the recovery of my Portege partition.

  Someone have faced similar problems?
  Please consider that I am performing an upgrade instead of a clean install.

  Thank you

  da

  PS and probably OT: anyone know if it is possible to obtain ISO 8.1 with the 8 with an activation code?

  As I'm not mistaken the Portege Z930 was sold with a preinstalled Windows 7 but Windows 8 extra DVDs should be part of the package.

  You do not have this DVD in Windows 8 support?

  In any case, I found a useful page that provides different information you how to put the system to Windows 8.

  Please click the link: step by step Instructions to upgrade to Windows 8

  I recommend you to run education step by step and repeat system upgrade process.

  Hi Armin

  The RTM of Windows 8.1 version is in the month of August, so I think that Toshiba can offer some new drivers will fix all the problems. Until the official launch, I don t think that you will find whatever on Toshiba support and download page. I fear he must wait a little in the hope that Toshiba will offer necessary updates of m.

  Let's see if someone has more information on this subject.

• Portege Z930: How to install Win 7 after the installation of Win 8

  Hallo!

  There are a few weeks upgraded Toshiba Portege Z930 to Windows 8. Before the upgrade made the backup of Windows 7 on USB flash and it worked. Now recovering Win8 to Win7... Recovery starts fine - choose 'out of box' recovery and get ERROR 05-0172-0001.

  How to return to Windows 7?

  Hello

  I guess that your BIOS contains the option to switch between the UEFI and BIOS of the CSM.
  It must therefore return to the CSM BIOS and must disable secure boot if it has been previously activated.

  Then you can reinstall Win 7

• Portege Z930 - BSOD kernel data by page fault

  Recently (3 days ago) my girlfriend bought Portege Z930, and she becomes BSOD kernel data in error page, randomly (battery or AC).

  Hardware config is: Core i3 Mobile i3-3217U, DDR3 4 GB, HD Graphics 4000, SSD 128 GB
  Software: it didn't install new programs, using the trial version of office, Google chrome and windows 7 64 bit which was pre-installed. Anyone have any idea, what could be the cause of bsod? Preinstalled software from Toshiba? Hardware malfunction?

  Also because off-topic information autonomy point is up to 5 hours (wifi on, light off, bright screen keyboard: 40%)

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. In my opinion, you should make data backup and install the OS by using HARD drive recovery option.

  After that do what you will have new own preinstalled OS. Test a few days without having to install anything just to see if the error appears again.

  Installation of HARD drive recovery operation, you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
