• I'd lose the warranty if I install Linux

  I would like to know if the repartitioning of HARD drive will involve the loss of the guarantee and the removal of windows?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello jabbba, here's Jaba ;)

  No! You will not lose the warranty and installation of Linux or HDD format will not affect warranty service!
  You may lose your warranty service only if you would remove the laptop, or strives to upgrade using unsupported parts.

• Satellite P300 - 19 H: can I install Linux without losing the warrany?

  Hello

  I'm a french so please forgive me for my bad English.
  I just want to know if it is possible to install Linux on my system without compromising my warranty.

  My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P300 - 19H
  The current operating system is Vista Premium Home Edition (pre-installation on my laptop)
  I paid for 3 year extended warranty, that's why I want to be sure I can install Linux.

  If it is possible, I have to take certain steps before you try to install it in a Dualboot with Vista?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Hello

  You can install Linux without losing the warranty. Toshiba doesn't support Linux on this laptop, but you can install it of course.

  If you want to do a dual boot with Vista and that you are interested in a version of Ubuntu, you should take a look at the Wubi:
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It is a sure way to install Ubuntu on laptop with Vista installed.

• Need help with installing Linux on Satellite Pro A300

  Hello

  I would like to install Linux on my laptop and am wondering which is the best distribution I can use and is it simple to follow guide to use so I'll get to the top and running with a dual boot with Microsoft Windows Vista?

  Please help because it is really important to me!

  Appreciate your help in advance.

  Thank you
  Bill.

  Hello

  To be honest I didn't install Linux on my laptop with Vista and XP.
  Sometimes, I use Linux Live distribution called Koppix, and I m satisfied!

  The devices have been recognized, and most of the drivers were included.

  Maybe it s an option for you too

  But Ubuntu might also be interesting for you.

• Impossible to install Linux

  I am installing Linux Slackware 10.1, but as soon as the cd is started / reading, the following message is displayed:

  Boot CD-ROM type: CD/Non-Emulation Booting
  ISOLINUX 2.13 2004 12/14 isolinux: spec package failed, trying to wing loading...
  isolinux: extremely broken BIOS detected, abandon last attempt with player = 90
  isolinux: disk error 01, AX = 42E1, car = 90
  Initialization failed: press a button to try again...

  I've tried the drive on another PC laptop Toshiba, and it worked without any problem.

  It seems my BIOS, or maybe my CD drive (cd/dvd burner) is not compatible. I checked the BIOS update section, but without success - my model has no bios updates (I have a Satellite M45-S331). What can I do to install Linux on this laptop? I have already partitioned my hard drive and created Linux and Swap partitions.

  Hello

  I'm not a Linux Professional, but perhaps the following links can help you.

  These links are of Toshiba Europe and Japan, maybe that your laptop is not listed because you have a U.S. model.

• x 360: delete the recovery partition after installing Linux

  Hello

  My x 360 laptop with 10 Windows works fine. I just installed Linux dual boot (w. Windows 10) on three new partitions. The scores are as below. E, F, G partitions are Linux.

  I have these questions please:

  1. is the recovery partition (D) no longer, now that I have partitioned the disk? (I did a recovery USB flash drive when I bought the computer)

  2. is it safe to remove the recovery partition (D)?

  3. There is also a small partition of 980 MB. What is c? Is it safe to remove?

  Thank you

  YCC

  

  Sorry, no.  You can not recover by using the HP Recovery partition after you change the partitioning scheme.

  As it is now, you might as well delete it.

  It will not hurt to remove it now because the HP Recovery works doesn'y work in any case.

  I know Macrium Reflect can backup and restore Windows and Linux distros because I have tried it, myself.

  Good luck

• Satellite A350 - 13 B (20 x) and installing Linux

  Hi all

  I write about it because I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A350 - 13 B (20 X) MODEL PSAL6E Mr. everything is perfect, but I have a big problem.
  When I m trying to install Linux black screen appeared. Standard system is Windows Vista Home Premium but I don't want the windows system. When I bought this laptop, the seller assured me that he n t be a problem in the installation of Linux, but it turns out that it is

  I tried to install the newest BIOS, but it seems pointless too. Please help :(

  Hi mielon
  This is NOT a bios problem!
  only a bit of configuration problem because linux has problems to load the correct module.
  easy to solve:
  -If you use knoppix for exaple use the comandline tweak "fb1024x768" to force linux NOT to probe your grafics
  -Once linux is installed correctly it starts once
  -After that, you are able to install the grafics if there is a module for this card or manually choose
  -Make sure that you choose the refresh rate of 60 Hz, otherwise damage your LCD

  BTW: What distro do you use?

• How to install linux on Qosmio G20-120

  Hi all.
  I tried to install some linux distro in a new qosmio g20.

Someone tried to do? Any chance to install linux on this notebook?
  Thanks in advance.

  It's always a problem with Linux as the OS is not supported by Toshiba. In this case, you're on your own.

• How can I install Linux (M30X)

  I tried to find information for installing Linux. But I can´t find useful things.
  Well, because I'm a computer science student, I use Linux.How I can't deal with it. If it is not possible to install, I want to know if I can change another model of laptop.

  Hello

  normally, it's easy to install a current Linux distribution. Take a CD Linux Redhat or Suse or whatever and take in the CD player!

  then follow the announcement of Yast instructions, this should work!

• Cannot start with the CD after trying to install Linux

  Hello!

  There is a very bad problem with my satellite 2450 s203 :( I have windows xp and then I decided to install Linux. I formatted all hard, but there were some problems with installing Linux (defective disc) and I had to reboot laptop. But then I have the Toshiba logo, there are the following: F1 Linux

  But after pressing F1, nothing happens! :( Also I can not boot from my cd, even after changing the boot options in the BIOS! I can boot from the diskette. I tried discs from Microsoft for win98 startup disk, back 6.22, win xp sp1 & sp2 - but there were errors in these diskettes. (E.g. *.exe not found, but there is an archive *.) Ex_ and there is in this archive file capable of need. "But he does not see System!).

  So, how can I now install an operating system on my laptop? If I have managed to install the cd drivers I think that the problem will be offered...
  I am waiting for your reply, yours sincerely, X-Fau1t.

  Hello

  It's very strange that you can not use the bootable CD. Please try to use recovery media delivered. When you turn on the device, please press the C button and keep it down for a few seconds. Normally on this way the device CD/DVD should be the first to start the procedure.

• Can I install Linux in Satellite M200?

  Hi all

  I want to install Linux in Satellite M200, but I don't know it's the driver in charge or not, please give me advice.

  Thank you
  Nhanntit

  Of course, you can install Linux on the Toshiba laptop.
  BUT you won't find any driver Toshiba or tools for the Linux operating system.

  Toshiba does not support official Linux and that's why the pilots are not released.
  You will need to use the Linux drivers from chipmaker like Intel IE

  A hint; I use the Knoppix Live CD I n t need to install anything. I boot from this CD and the functional complete using Linux ca ;)
