  Thank you. Again, I ask forgiveness for my English. WBR Nikolay Khachaturov.

  Hello

  I put t know if I can solve all your problems, but I'll try to give some useful advice.

  With regard to the point;

  1) you don't need external USB floppy drive.
  You can create a clean XP Boot CD. There is a freeware application called nLite.
  Using this program you can incorporate additional drivers as the RAID or SATA and MS service packs in a Windows XP operating system.
  Just Google for nLite and I'm sure that you will find useful and interesting articles and website on this software.

  2) well, it is a mobile American and was designed for the American market.
  That's why you should look for drivers on the Web of Toshiba U.S. site.
  If you won't find anything, then you try the XP drivers designed for another Satellite A205/A200 series or you seek drivers XP only on chip manufacturing such as Intel, nVidia, etc.

  Good luck

• Satellite L30: XP Clean install - used to work, now it doesn't

  Hello

  First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks to all those who want to contribute their thoughts. Now, the problem more in detail...

  * Summary *.
  Laptop comes with Vista. New installation of XP & drivers - all is well for more than a year. XP has become problematic, re-installed XP - same problems exist with clean install.

  * Prelude: *.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite L30, which came with Vista installed. After some disappointment with Vista, I decided to "upgrade" to XP. The XP installation went without a hiccup. Trying to find drivers for all that took time, as Toshiba is no longer distributes the drivers for the L30 model (at least not on the version of their Web site). I kept (and still have) copies of all drivers, I finally installed to get the laptop with XP works successfully, and everything was fine.

  * The problem starts: *.
  I had been using this setup for over a year, until recently, and suddenly, the laptop has become problematic (i.e. suspended in certain situations, be slow and usually does not). I have concluded that the laptop had probably lost power during the installation of Windows updates or update had problems and had become unstable. After trying different techniques to try to restore the system (System Restore, chkdsk, etc.), without success, I decided I want to do a clean install of XP.

  * Get your fingers Ready puzzle: *.
  Using the same XP CD, I used for the first installation, I begin to re - install XP. All right, until the installation reached "Record components", where it crashes. By pressing the power button to restart the computer laptop re-lance installation and installation is completed thanks to the end (perhaps because the installer reported that caused the coup be dried the second time around?). This behavior is now repeatable every time I have to format the drive and install XP. In any case, XP is now installed and boot - but guess what? It shows the exact behavior as well as before the clean install. He is suspended for the same thing and being generally does not. I continued to install all the drivers that I used the first time around, but still the same problem. (may be interesting to note that safe mode do not present any of this behavior and works very well).

  * The plot thickens *.
  So now, I think that it is likely to be a hardware / firmware issue, as it is set up exact same software. In the context of spending + long + time trying to figure out, I move using the Toshiba recovery disc that re - installs Vista and now everything works fine, no problem with anything (well, except that it's Vista). I installed all the available Windows updates updated all drivers and ghosts and then the hard drive, so I can go back at least to a configuration of work relatively easily. Thinking that this procedure + may + have restored balance for the setup of hardware, I re - install XP, but it's yet to be a problem in exactly the same way. I'm puzzled.

  * What to do now *.
  Personally, I prefer to use the cell phone as a Clipboard that is expensive to use it with Vista installed. I ordered some RAM so that he will be able to run Windows 7, but I don't wouldn't really be content of this workaround. By far, XP is the OS of choice, but I do not know what path to take then get back to work.
  I'd like to hear your 2 cents. Thanks for reading the above, I know it was long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you
  Ian

  I put t think that the problem is related to the lack of driver Toshiba.

  First parrowdice trying to install Win XP and Win XP does not support the VAP (value added package). VAP is released just for Vista and Win 7.

  I think that the Intel Matrix Storage Manager is also not necessary I think it might be something wrong with the hardware. Maybe HARD drive?

  Download the tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Test. This tool creates a bootable CD that would go to a HARD disk check, I think that should help to check if a HARD drive is affected.

• Re: Satellite L650/0E8 - clean install with Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello.

  I recently bought a [Toshiba L650/0E8 laptop | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l650/psk1ja-0e8017] and accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7.

  I saved an image of "recovery" from my computer in 4 DVD-R using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I need to use Adobe Master Collection CS5, but this requires the 64-bit edition to use first Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5. I've put together by reading some articles on the net that I have to do a 'clean' install, but as I've always had a technician set up my computer and have never used a Toshiba laptop before, I'm unaware on how to backup all my files, programs, drivers, etc. before reinstall Windows 7 to a 64-bit version.

  -What do these recovery DVD? Is there anywhere I can download the software/drivers for the 64-bit version Toshiba? I apologize if these questions sound really stupid. Honestly, I'm rather confused as to what to do.

  Hey,.

  First of all I have to say it s even though you created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual. :)
  Some other users here forget it because they don t read their user's manual.

  Anyway, with this record, you can restore the pre-installed Windows version (Windows 7 64 bit) with all the drivers and tools. That means you n t need additional drivers and Toshiba, all tools will be installed automatically. You get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

  But if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk it will wipe the entire HARD drive, then you will need to make a backup of all your important files that you should always after installing Windows.
  This is why I would recommend an external HARD drive. They offer a lot of space to save all your data and with some models, you also backup software, but you can also use the built-in Windows backup tool, it s also nice and works well.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! ;)

• How to do a clean install without CD?

  My computer came with windows xp 2005. I want to do a clean install. I have the CD key, but the computer did not come with a CD. How do I install without the CD?

  Your HP system very likely came with a utility partition that contains all the files needed to do a full restore of your system.  Try typing: F10 (when you start the machine).  Note, this will be on your old system wipe!  Read about it in the HP PC troubleshooting and maintenance Guide (page 18).

  In addition, it is software recovery in Start menu-> all programs-> Accessories-> System Tools menu that allows you to create your own recovery media (it took 2 DVD-R or CD-12 r (not DVD - RW or CD - RW!) on the HP here).  Your system allows you to create these discs when you first started has very probably prompted... Everyone should make these records.  You can't recover from a failure of the hard drive without them.  HP help files were very informative and comprehensive, too.  Finding help for recovery.

  After you create the disks and restore your system (be it with F10 or by using the disks that you created), you must go to the HP Support website for your system and download updates and drivers updated.  (I have not found an a1520n but I found a Pavilion Media Center a1520y CTO desktop PC.)

  And when it is earned, as Daavee has suggested credit, it would be really wise to save all your settings and your documents.  (It's what skip drivers were made for...)

• Re: Satellite 1900-102 XP install without recovery CD?

  I have a Toshiba S1900-102.

  I put a larger (40 GB) HARD drive in it, and I would like to install my XP Pro SP2 English on it rather than the original German XP Home that sits on the recovery CD.

  Is this possible without going through the road to dual boot, and if so, how can I go about it? Would it not possible to mount a Ghost image of my desktop XP system on the new drive if I connect to the desktop with the converter cable? So would it work on the laptop and I need to load specific Toshiba drivers?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  I m not very well what you want to do?
  You want to use on your satellite 1900 old dualboot?

  If you want to use both Win XP, then you need to create a second partition on the HARD drive.
  First install the OS on the recovery disk.
  Then create the second partition using a 3rd party magically partitions.
  After you create a new partition, you could boot from your other CD of Win XP and could install the second XP on the new created partition.

  The XP drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.
  You need to look in the folder to ARCHIVE, because the Sat 1900 is an older unit.

  Good bye

• x 201 OEM Win7 ultimate clean install without disk

  Hi guys!

  I just got my 201 pre-installed with Win7 Ultimate x. My 201 x does not include an optical drive and therefore no recovery win7 don't drive etc. Everything is legitimate and that you have the key for activation on the underside of the computer.

  I REALLY want to do an install own complete on my system.

  I searched a little and have little chance to find how to do this without an optical drive, an OEM version and no way to download the iso file.

  If someone could please shed is little light on how to do this would be greatly appreciated I am reluctant to download install all programs etc until I have finished cleaning.

  Thanks guys,.

  Download Thinkvantage System update, it should withdraw all the drivers concerned on the Lenovo Web sites for you, that will simplify the process of downloading drivers.

  You can also copy your current driver on your c: drive files and use these drivers.

• Satellite A205-S5804 - after installing Microsoft sync, it does not start

  Hello

  This model uses by me. I downloaded it from Vista to XP.

  After installing Microsoft Sync, you need to restart and my laptop does not start after that. HD is indicated and known on the BIOS.

  Any help please?
  BR

  Hello

  > After installing Microsoft Sync it requires a reboot and after that my laptop does not start.
  And it does n average boot t?
  You get an error message? The laptop freezes on start up? Do you get a BSOD?

  I put t know how you can solve this problem, but can you go into the advanced boot menu? You can start in safe mode?

  In my opinion Microsoft installation synchronization destroyed something in Windows and in the worst case, reinstall the whole OS.

• HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.

  Hello

  First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!

  Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.

  Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...

  I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step

  In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?

  Thank you very much for your kind attention,

  Best regards

  Francisco

  To answer your questions:

  (1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media.  Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.

  (2) lose the built-in recovery.  IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes.  That no longer works after upgrade Win10.

  (3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.

  (4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail.  The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation.  You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate.  If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate.  MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.

• I'll be able to perform a clean install of Windows 7 (Vista Upgrade Option)?

  I was wondering if I would be able to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 with "upgrade drive" we are is sent when Windows 7 is released October 22, 2009. I had read that we will be able to upgrade the sense we will keep all our old stuff, however I just want to perform a clean install without all the garbage that comes preloaded on the computer when you buy it.

  Yes, you will be able to clean install with upgrade disc. Generally, everything you had will go into a folder named windows.old, if you have backed up everything you can delete this folder but if not only get what you need, then delete. This issue will take place. The folder contains all the files you had, the programs, but you can not open them or he'll tell program not found and the files of vista or xp. I hope this helps. Just at the moment where you see the menu level or custom installation, click Custom install and who should be the ability to clean the facility.                  OS: Windows 7 Professional. PC: HP DV4t.

• Laptop HP 15-R204NE: clean install of Windows 10

  Hello

  I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.

  Kind regards.

  Hello Zarakkhan ;
  
  I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

  As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

  That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

  As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

  Good luck

• How to clean install windows 7 on T400, am I right?

  My T400 pre-installed with Windows Vista Business, so I would get a clean installation of Windows 7 on my laptop.

  My method: clean install Windows 7 on the laptop with a single partition (infact there are two of them, including the 100 MB partition, created by the system Windows 7 itself.). After installation, I will set up my internet and just download the ThinkVantage System update, then install it. Then I'm going to update and install all the drivers and by the ThinkVantage System Update ThinkVantage tools. So I think that the work has got an end. Am I wrong?

  Another question: If there is a single partition, when I want to use Rescue and Recovery for my system backup or files then keep the backups to the partition, how Rescue and Recovery restores my system clean install without destroying the backups? In my opinion, if when the restore process is complete, the clean install GETS back but the backups always not to locate their position?

  Thank you and enjoy for all the answers!

  first of all, I hope you did just product recovery disc in case you want to load the original image, once you do a clean installation, the option has disappeared. 2 update does not offer CSS or RnR so you will have to do it manually. 3. Once you have everything installed, you will need to make a backup of that this backup will be used to retrieve at your own facility. If you do not create this backup, there is no way to recover your newly installed win.7

• Satellite L300 - clean install Win 7 SP1 64 bit

  I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, replacing the normal 32-bit Vista that comes with the laptop.

  The facility has been good, but I have a few questions about the following:

  I adjusted the automatic run settings to ask every time for all selections. The problem is that when the game DVD in WMP or VLC disk reads but is noisy. It is very good for the s CD without excessive noise. The acoustic silencer on the download site is for 32-bit, but can be used in this laptop. In the original Vista there is no noise at all, so I wonder if there is other parameters that can sort this point, otherwise I'll have to keep changing things manually with the acoustic silencer.

  I noticed a very low noise coming from laptop (like a lighter version of a business when you're boarding Jet it). I ran a video memory Stress Test CE and he showed a few errors. If I reduce the brightness of the screen there is less noise so I wonder if it's something to do with the Panel of inverter of screen I'm sure that's not the HARD drive or the cooling fan, but it could be something on the motherboard.

  On the backup plan Acronis will slow down my system or are Win 7 OK backup options?

  Thanks a lot for all the possible solutions to these problems.

  A long time ago I've installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. It worked perfectly. Much better than original Vista.
  > I still don't know what is the best test for the screen.
  I put t understand what kind of test do you mean. I hope that you have installed the right display driver and LCD works perfectly with a native resolution.

  Win7 recovery with Acronis image creation is, generally, the right decision. With this disc, you can install Win7 again and again very rapidly and you should not install every single driver separately.

  If you want to keep this laptop any longer I think it is worth to buy it. One last thing: you will buy it once and you can use it in the future too if you decide to buy the new laptop or PC.
