Possible to install Win 8 of recovery in Legacy Bios mode discs?

Is it possible to install Win 8 of recovery disks in Legacy Bios instead of UEFI mode, as it comes with?

Or will install it automatically use UEFI mode and configure start secure even if your bios is set to Legacy Bios installation mode for Windows 8?

In addition,

If I install a clean copy of windows 8 from the official Microsoft Windows 8 Core RTM dvd (same version as my system) and it detects and accepts the built in Win 8 product key and key of CD which is built in my Bios and it activates as valid installation and activeted - this void my warranty?

(It's the same exact Windows version and license I paid HP for except it has not added recovery partition or software of HP so I don't think he would cancel warranty... especially since installation has accepted the built in bios keys - but is this correct?)

Don't know everything if the recovery will install in legacy mode, try and see.

Install a different copy of the same version do not cancel the warranty. However sometimes HP will require you to reinstall OS original to avoid the possibility of problems or if you need warranty service. Don't forget to burn your defined recovery disk before destroying the origianl OS.

You can also find it advantageous to burn them to dvd or save to hard drive USB external your C:\SwSetup file with drivers and software provided on the original laptop. Save a lot of time to download on another computer and transfer it later.

    Where can I get the drivers?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course you can install Windows 7 on this laptop why not?

    Even if Win 7 32-bit drivers are not released on the European driver Toshiba page, you could install this OS.

    Most devices use the same drivers. For example, you can check out 32-bit drivers for X 300 series.

    Sorry to hear that... the system should have been on completely to complete the recovery process. When the recovery process has crashed in the Middle, there are now three options.

    1. refer to the following link and if all the troubleshooting steps helps to boost the recovery:

    HP PC - troubleshooting problems of recovery System (Windows 8)

    2. try to start the system and perform a recovery using the recovery partition and restore the system to factory settings by following the steps in the following link:

    HP computers - running a HP System Recovery (Windows 8)

    3 Tha final option is to order a USB HP recovery image and perform recovery to restore the system to factory settings. This is possible by contacting HP Technical Support.

  • I want to install Win XP on Satellite A305-S6905

    Hello.

    I want to downgrade my Vista to XP because of problems and slow down my PC...
    For example I can't download updates antivirus, games etc...

    I read in the forum that I need some kind of sata drivers and those I can do myself, but someone can help me with other drivers because I use this laptop for an hour and I know not what drivers there need.

    If someone could give me links to the necessary software, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that you couldn't find the right drivers XP because you didn t find on the right-hand page.
    Like you probably n t know that this series of laptop (Satellite A305) belongs to Toshiba from US and you have to find good drivers on Toshiba U.S. page!
    http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/home.to

    In addition, if you want to install Win XP on laptop thin, you will need to install the SATA drivers first.
    The SATA drivers are on Intel Storage Manager part which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page as well.

    But if you don t want to install SATA drivers, there is another possibility to install the XP.
    Just access the BIOS and set the compatible SATA to AHCI mode.

    That s it.

    I changed the bios to start from the cd and it works great.

    After that the windows 7 installed to finish, reset the laptop and when the witness appears it is just Windows 7 freeze. (keep moving but nothing happened).

    I also use Capitol via Hiren and I cleaned the hard drive and installed again but... the same due problen.

    any suggestions?
    Thank you very much

    What BIOS settings you changed exactly?
    Usually, you will need to disable secure boot and have spend the the CSM UEFI boot mode.

    By the way: have you used the Microsoft original own installation CD to install the system, or have you used a backup for the installation of the OS image?

    I created the recovery with management of the recovery disks, but:

    -If it is in UEFI mode he asks me to run as a legacy.
    No one knows what might happen or how I could rectify the situation? Thank you!

    This isn't Alt + F10, SHIFT + F10

    Furthermore, since you have a virus, I suggest you use your recovery media.

  • Is it possible to install the same recovery XP 2 times on 2 partitions

    Dear people.

    Is it possible to install the Recovery XP home 2 times on 2 partitions on my Satellite?
    I want one as a desktop and one for music downloads.

    When I boot the second new system installed there say: installation is not complete, please reinstall!

    Thanks in advance

    What model of laptop you have exactly? As previous user written with former recovery media, it should be possible (I can't tell for sure) because the use of the expert installations you can choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.

    If you have newer model cell phone with new software to recovery (RECO) something like this is not possible.

  • Satellite of 850 - is it possible to I install Win 7 - if so, how?

    I was in a hurry to get a laptop for a job and got a Toshiba Satellite 850, which comes with 8 pre-installed windows.

    I absolutely hate it and assumed I can just wipe everything and put it on a windows 7.
    After reading many advice forums, it seems that this machine is designed for windows 8 and I can't remove it easily. So I am completely and totally disappointed.

    Is this really the case? Please tell me this isn't.

    I urgently need an answer that I start to work in the morning and I need Win7 installed to work.

    You really are a funny guy blame you laptop manufacturer, because you are not able to install Win 7?
    I guess you do this out of ignorance... you don't know how exactly...

    All first of all laptops of all manufacturers of laptops that are pre-installed with Win 8 supports secure boot UEFI BIOS. Here are the requirements of Microsoft.

    Second: It is possible to install Windows 7 on all laptops; It doesn't matter which was preinstalled. But he should know how to do this...

    You said that you are owner of the Satellite 850. But what series? L, A AND C?

    Now some basic info:
    To boot from external sources: CD/DVD drive, USB, etc. You must disable secure boot and go the CSM UEFI.

    It seems that you have done this that s good.

    Keep the SATA option in AHCI mode.
    When setting up installation of Win 7, you will be asked to add drivers (SATA drivers)
    Download driver Toshiba UE page, put it on the USB key and add it to the installation of Win 7.
    Now Win 7 must see HARD drive and you should be able to install Win 7 on the new partition.

  • Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

    I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

    > I formatted my PC and install XP

    No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

    So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.
