Re: Win7 on Satellite M70 - 181 - there - he driver available?

Hello
as Windows XP support will end next April and my old Satellite still works, I was wondering if anyone has experience with Win7 on this type of laptop. Are there drivers available? (impossible to find anything on the Toshiba site).

Thank you

All drivers for Satellite M70 series are on the Toshiba UE driver page.
Since it is old model of laptop, drivers are placed in archive, then you should choose type of product-> Archive
http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

It seems that the drivers are available only for Windows XP and Vista

But even if there are no Windows 7 drivers, you could install Windows 7 laptop computer s hardware specifications are good enough to run Windows 7 on this device.
You need to find the key to your own hand drivers. Many laptops are released with the same pieces of equipment, so probably the drivers released for other cell phones would be compatible with the M70 series.

  • Satellite M70-181 to perform the recovery of proceeds of DVD USB drive

    Hello

    I am trying to recreate the image on my Satellite M70 181 using the product recovery DVD.
    Should be easy, you might say, but the internal DVD player no longer works.
    I don't want to buy a new laptop this quite old, so I borrowed an external USB drive.

    After that I inserted the product recovery DVD the notebook starts from there, autoexec creates a RAMDRIVE and copy the files from there.
    "Recover.bat", the external DVD player analysis must be accessible via the X: drive. However, there are has some missing files on the DVD to mount the external DVD drive: there is no file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB20. DEV, nor a file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB11. DEV.
    Failure of the attempt to mount the external hard drive, recover.bat starts a loop saying 'Please insert Recovery CD #1!'.

    What can I do now? Help, please.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    As much I know this model of laptop can't boot from USB CD/DVD drive and CD recovery.
    You can boot from the USB FDD drive and a bootable floppy drive but I doubt that this is not possible with a Toshiba restore disk.

    I think that you could use this recovery disk as part of internal ODD.

    Hello

    > Does anyone know where I can get old Versions of BIOS (operating system independent) for my Satellite M70 - 181 (PSM70)?
    I m afraid you won't find older BIOS versions for download on the pages of Toshiba I have found that the latest versions of BIOS.

    If you want you could contact the partner of service allowed in your country and ask if it of possible to get older versions of BIOS

    But look, man. I doubt that an older BIOS would support or contains a few additional options or settings that are not available in the latest BIOS.

    Hello

    As you probably n t know, Windows 7 is not supported for all series of laptops.
    If your didn't find the VAP for Win 7 for M70 then that would mean that there is no available for this series Win 7 VAP
    You can try the other PPV that appears for different series, but there is no guarantee that you will get all the M70 with Win 7 function

  • Installing Win7 on Satellite M70-173 - query of wireless internet

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M70-173, which I think to be up-to-date with windows 7. However after you run the windows 7 Advisor, he told me to download the driver of the wireless device that is:

    Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

    I put t really know what it is? Is my wireless 'card '?
    In any case, I check on the Intel site for the updated drivers for win7, and he says:

    "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection does not support Microsoft Windows * 7.

    Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection is no longer manufactured by Intel, nor Intel provide any future software updates to support new operating systems or improve compatibility with devices and third-party software products. "

    Does this mean that I should not install Windows 7?

    How can I work around this problem, do need me to upgrade and how much would this cost?
    Thank you

    Satellite or Equium M70 is old model of laptop computer designed for Windows XP Home edition, so it is certainly not taken in charge for Win7. It is certainly possible to install Win7 on this laptop, but you will not be able to make it work with all the options that are specific to Toshiba.

    Yes it's the wireless card if this card doesn t work for lack of best drivers and the best option for you is to buy the wireless USB dongle. Ask your dealer how local it costs. As far as I know that's not expensive.

    As far as I know, FN + F10 or FN + F11 active integrated keyboard and cursor control keys.

    Satellite M70 is a fairly old machine and I do not remember which driver may be responsible for this control. Try to reinstall the Toshiba Accessibility or FN-esse utility. Maybe this will help.

    and can you tell me if I installed a larger hard drive and a new operating system will be my original toshiba product recovery disk work.
    then where in my drive hard is my factory set windows xp so I can remove and install the new operating system

    Post edited by: frederic

    Hello

    I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
    If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

    With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)

  • Satellite M70: LAN & WLan need driver for Win 7 RC

    Hi all

    I can't install Windows 7 RC.
    I have a Satellite M70, but I can't find a driver for card or WiFi network then "I can't connect to windows update to take the other missing drievers, too.

    I tried Vista drivers but does not work. I have try on http://driverscollection.com/ but I can not find something that works

    Help please:)

    Thank you

    byebye

    Ivan

    Windows 7 is not released until the final version and that's why you won't find not all Win 7 drivers. In most cases, you will need to research and test

    The LAN chip seems to be that the Realtek so you should get maybe driver Realtek LAN driver to go to the Realtek page would work.

    The WiFi chip should be an Atheros so we're looking for WLan Atheros WLan driver that could be compatible with Win 7.

  • Satellite M70-337 - replacement hard drive

    Hello

    I need to replace the hard drive on my laptop. When the news is in place, it will be just a case of running the product recovery disc to get me and run again.

    Also, what would be the maximum size drive, it will take, and what kind I need. I guess it is a SATA.

    Thank you.

    I have the Satellite M70-159. It's the same as your. I can say for sure, you need driver SATA. I tested the 250 GB HARD drive on my laptop and it works perfectly. I'm 99.9% sure that you can use the HARD drive with 250 GB capacity more, but I think that 250 GB is enough.

    Replacement is very easy and you can do it in 5 minutes. Simply remove the HARD drive down coverage and you will see how it works.
    When the new drive is inside just put original recovery media in the optical disc drive and install WXP.
    If you do not, you can install what you want. In case you want to use Microsoft installations CD all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

    If you have any other questions let us know.

  • Re: Linux on Satellite M70-181 - recommendations?

    Hello

    as Windows XP support will end next April and my old Satellite still works
    I wonder if anyone has any experience with Linus on this type of laptop.

    Are there recommendations regarding verson (Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian,...).

    Are there drivers available? (impossible to find anything on the Toshiba site).
    Thank you

    Hello

    This question should probably be divided into 2 sections.

    (1) stability and security.
    It's always a good idea to stick to a branch that is stable and continue to release updates for the given distribution.

    Look at Debian or RedHat (CentOS is a free 'clone' of RedHat).
    Debian and RedHat (CentOS) support their distributions of life or a long time (RedHat) or via a rolling update mechanism (Debian) release.

    (2) performance
    Having a unit of the old school as the M70 really forces you to look at what desktop environment you should look.

    You must avoid KDE4, Gnome3, cinnamon and Unity (specific to Ubuntu). They all look nice and have fancy features but will be (too) heavy load for your old unit to carry.
    Search for rather Mate, LXDE, office environments focused on XFCE for a balanced experience.
    If you want to go for a very lean office there are a number of choices such as Openbox and other similar environments.

    So to sum up - the choice of the distribution is not very easy because it is a decision (at least) 2-step.
    Security/stabilty and choice of desktop environment where the last of them will have the most impact on the memory footprint and processor.

    Here's a place to start looking for your desktop of choice:

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment

    This is a very good site for verification of distributions:
