ProBook 450 g2: install win 8.1 on probook g2 450
Hello
can someone tell me what the bios should be set to, in order for me to install win 8.1 on my probook.
It came preloaded with win 7, but the DVD of restoration to win 8.1 does not pick up the 128 GB samsung ssd.
do I need to change the bios settings? or is it a driver I need?
I can't make it work be it...
Thank you
It's the solution that I have seems to work.
In such a situation, you can clean the whole SSD by using diskpart and this will ensure that the system reserved partition is also cleaned and the boot sector. Try to use the following method to clean the SSD and use the automatic partitioning of windows to create the partition for the installation of the operating system.
1. Insert the DVD of windows in the DVD player.
2. on the disk selection screen, press SHIFT + F10. A command prompt window opens.
3. type diskpart and press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.
4. Type list disk and press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.
5. type the number of disk of salt and then press ENTER. number is the number of the hard drive you want to clean. The hard drive is now selected.
6. type det disk, and then press ENTER. A list of partitions on the hard disk. This information is used to verify that the correct drive is selected.
7. make sure that the disk does not contain required data, type clean all, and then press ENTER to clean the disk.
All partitions and all data on the disc is removed entirely.
8 type exit and press ENTER to close
9. continue the installation of the Windows operating system using automatic mΘthodes partitioning recommandΘes rather than create partitions yourself.

Boot camp install Win 7 on iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)"
Hello
I am experiencing a problem installing Win 7 on my iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)." I got this version installed two years without a problem, but now it concerns me.
When you create the partition, bootcamp and starting from the Win 7 DVD I am able to install it without problem. When the PC reboots after you download windows support on my USB, install windows and is about to start Windows for the first time, it freezes and the screen is all black.
I read on the support site you need to create and image of the Win 7 dvd which should be used in conjunction with boot camp, but I can't choose this option (it simply is not here) "disk image", when using boot camp.
So what to do?

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 MoreiraMore 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. -

Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C50-A-1JT
Hello
You just buy new C50-A-1JT which came with an installation of Linux Mint, I won't, because it's for my mother in law who barely knows windows, and even less to ask him to learn to use Linux.
I tried to make a bootable USB key with win 7 installation (that I would do on a normal pc).
The windows installer seems to load fine, but when I press Windows Installer, I get "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. »The problem is that my laptop did not contain driver disks, so I wonder what I can do to install Win 7 on it.
Thank you
MarkAbout this error message, see Microsoft Knowledge base article:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2755139/
This problem occurs for the following reasons:
The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
The DVD drive cannot read media.
The ISO file is corrupted.Given that you don t use the installation disc but a USB flash memory stick, I suppose that the image on the USB flash memory stick file is corrupt or there is a problem with the support of USB flash memory

HONLY 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

R850-14 t - FN feature satellite lost after installing Win 7
Hey,.
After Installing Win 7 32 bit, I had no functionality of FN.
I tried to find and also tried some drivers on the homepage, but I don't have the right one.If some know what driver I need exactly?
Thank you!
Hi mate
Did you install VAP (value added package)?
If this is not the case, to do this. After that, restart the laptop and check the functionality of the FN button.If the FN button would not work, install utility Support Flash Card which you could find in the box driver for other portable computer laptops; for example L500

Is the BSOD 0x0000007B code?
You must go into the BIOS and change SATA "Compatibility" or "IDE" mode
Or, if this option is not available, you should use the F6flpy driver is in the Intel Matrix Storage driver package.

Qosmio G30-163. Try to install Win Xp Pro on the new HARD 120 GB drive

Unable to install Win XP Pro on the Qosmio X 300
Is it possible to install XP Pro on my Qosmio X 300.
I tried to install it but now luck.I could format the HARD drive and then install or what I have to do something with the Bios.
FrankOf course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.
Can I ask you if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD?
I guess you laptop supports the recovery of HARD drive and no drives have been provided with this device.
Before to format the HARD drive, you must create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.Furthermore, I believe that you are not able to install XP because the SATA driver were not included in your Win XP operating system.
Well, on some laptops you can disable the SATA AHCI in the BIOS and could spend in compatible mode. This would install the Win XP without a SATA driver.
But this option is not available on all models of laptops. You need to check this first.Finally, I must say that this topic has been discussed a lot of time here in the forum. Maybe not specifically in the forum of Qosmio X but in the other forum and the SATA installation procedure is the same on all laptops.
So look for a little -
This isn't a question but a RESPONSE to all those who are not able to install Win 7 on Hp Spectra because you get the notice "a required CD/DVD device driver is missing."
I JUST BOUGHT a brand new 360 4165 x spectrum. No USB 2.0 at all. No CD player.
Engineer network, that sort of thing just is not solved with me so I solved it!
DO NOT download drivers intel but RST download the Extensible software USB 3.0 host controller. RST is 'Rapid Storage Technology' and has nothing to do with the inability of the system to load the drivers of USB 3.0
= Found HERE =.
Extract the files to a folder on the C: drive of your laptop.
Install Win 7 and WHEN IT REQUEST the drivers, just point to the folder (Browse) you just extract files.
You need to install BOTH the driver of the ROOT and the main driver of USB 3.0, so choose one and install, and then select the other and install.
DON'T BOTHER with removing USB and move to another location! Here are the lucky results!
You will now be able to quickly install Windows 7 according to MY INSTRUCTIONS.
