• Satellite A215-S5837: want to dual boot XP/Ubuntu

  Hey all just got my new laptop and before to buy it I knew that I wanted to install Linux on it. However I do * not * like Vista, so I would also like to install XP instead, as a failsafe in case something goes wrong with my Linux partition (I'm fairly new), I'll be able to go back to XP and still working on it.

  I went to the Toshiba site, but they have for most of the drivers for Vista and only a few for XP. Anyone know where I can find the drivers I need for XP? I hope that Ubuntu will be able to find the drivers on its own, but I know that XP does not give you slack.

  Hello

  Satellite A215-S5837 is a Toshiba US series and compatible drivers on the page of the American pilot.
  I visited and found a few XP drivers but as you have already said the list is not complete.

  I m not 100% sure, but some European Satellite/Satellite A210 series laptops were equipped with the same internal features.
  I have your case, I'll try to install unique drivers designed for the A210 series.
  Maybe the latter won't work.

  Regarding the Linux drivers. Well, if I m wrong not the Linux is not officially supported and therefore the driver Toshiba page does not provide Linux drivers
  This is why you must pick up yourself.

  Good luck

• Suspended on Satellite A215-S4767 Vista services

  Satellite A215-S4767 w of Vista SP1 Ultimate. 4 GB memory

  Strange problems begin to occur over the weekend.
  Apps not loading in the taskbar; print drivers, antivirus applications, etc. Made a start with rescue CD and allowed out some malware trouble persists.
  Also, updated Vista SP cannot be installed three times and finally gave up on it. It was a couple of days before, so I don't think that his associates.

  Unable to connect to any wireless or wired network. Seems to hang when I try to run the "network and sharing Center." Many services do not start.
  Cannot run that much control panel apps. For example eventviewer diskmanager, services. They seem to be suspended. Once that happens, I can't close the administrative application.
  Most of the applications that start automatically are not. Printer driver, antivirus Soft,
  Disk mgmt shows never readers; rest to connect to the virtual disk service
  Can not run the system restore. seems to hang. When I try to run it again it says it works already, but I don't see anything.

  Everything seems to work in safe mode.

  Any help.

  I agree with Alex. Operating system must be corrupted and best thing you can do is to clean OS installation and make sure that everything will be OK again.

  Back up all important data and install Vista using livery Toshiba CD/DVD installations.

• Satellite A215 S4767 Chicony USB 2.0 camera does not work with Skype

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767 with Vista Ultimate 32.
  I checked the drivers and they work, I have 10 Diretcx and it works.

  When I open the camera program, it works well.
  I put the camera program is not at initial start-up of laptop.
  I start the laptop, Skype open and figure that the camera does not work and say to check what I've done.

  Yesterday, I had installed the Skype 5.5.0.114 version and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

  Hello

  > Yesterday I had installed version Skype 5.5.0.114 and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

  This means that it is not software for laptop problem or a webcam, but maybe it s Skype related issue.
  You should check if the webcam has been chosen correctly in Skype video settings.

  If this does not work, uninstall the 5.5.0.117 version of the system, reboot the laptop, clean the registry using CCleaner (freeware tool) and then after reboot again to install the 5.5.0.117 again if not check the 5.5.0.114 a version that worked correctly in the past.

• Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
  The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
  Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

  I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
  Any comments?

  Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
  I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

  So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

  If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

• Satellite L500/013 - how the dual boot of Windows 7 and XP?

  Hello

  I just bougth my first laptop from Toshiba, it comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. Before you start to spend hours on it, I wonder if this can be done:

  (1) I would like to use the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit mode, then

  (2) create the second partition on the hard disk to install Windows XP 32 bit on it.

  I was wondering if this is possible and what is the recommended installation sequence. First thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?

  Thanks for any help
  Thomas

  > The first thing I need to do is to create the recovery for Windows 7 disk, so I guess I have to configure Windows 7 first of all?
  Well, it is highly recommended! Before you do anything with your HARD drive, you must create the recovery disk!

  I m not very well how you can set up a dual boot with Win 7 because I didn't try this, but I did using Vista.
  First you must create a second partition in Vista. This could be done in disk management.
  Then I installed Win XP on the second partition. But after installing XP I could not launch Vista because Vista boot manager was damaged by Win XP.
  To resolve this problem, I used an original disc of Vista (not recovery disc). I started the Vista DVD and it has repaired the Vista Boot Manager. In Vista, I installed EasyBCD.
  EsayBCD is a small tool that allows to add Win XP to the Vista Boot Manager s.
  After the new Vista and Win XP reboot is appeared in the Boot Manager and I could choose between the two BONES.

  I think that you need the same procedure using Win 7

  Hello

  I have heard on a question as when the DMI information is missing or damaged. You can read about it in similar topics.

  In any case, I think this happens when the motherboard was exchanged and the service center I forgot to update the DMI information on motherboard. If the computer model isn't recognized properly.

  You should contact Toshiba service center. Guys can update DMI information and help you solve the problem. :)

• Satellite A215-S7414 - cannot open the control panel

  I'm trying to get the dial upward through the phone line, but cannot access control panel. The screen acts like he wants to come but soon left out.

  The laptop itself is a battlefield. I have to disable the player application to Windows loading. I can't access Windows on my administrative journal to and instead go through another user, I created to manufacture and store music. Start menu opens, but most / all Windows clients will not open.

  I remember 'cleaning up' in the Panel of control for more than a year, I don't remember when the last time was that I could get into the controls. Any help on how get opened would be gladly appreciated.

  Hello

  To be honest I have never heard of these problems but theoretically, it could be a virus or something else or your Windows installation is damaged, who knows?

  Do you have an AntiVirus tool? So, I can recommend the AntiVir freeware tool. It s small and fast and I have pretty good experience with it.
  Check this box!

  The problem persists there for a few days? If so, you can try a system restore to an earlier point. :)

• Satellite L305-S5917 cannot create recovery disk

  I have a Satellite L305-S5917.

  Yesterday I tried to create the recovery disk with the recovery disc creator, and then when I put a DVD + R, it says 'another application is using that drive or no recordable discs are recognized on your PC. Please check the status of the drive. (Error code: 0D00E4-F0-00000000). »
  I also try with DVD - R, but I wasn't too. Someone tell me what is the problem with my laptop and how do I create a recovery disc.

  Thank you

  Hello

  This error message does not for me.
  You have installed an application like Nero CD/DVD burning?

  Maybe an enforcement agent runs in the background and optical disc drive is permanent in the surveillance state. Restart your laptop, check the substantive activities and make sure that nothing can be responsible for this drive blocking.
  The STRANGE is properly recognized in Device Manager?

  One last thing: for creation of recovery media I would recommend to use high quality DVD-R virgins.
  I had the best experience with TDK and Verbatim.

• Satellite R630-141 - cannot change the boot order

  I have a Toshiba R630-141 and I'm changing the boot order in the Bios, but the Bios does not allow me to choose my cd drive or a USB drive as the startup disk.

  I've updated the Bios today to the latest version, thinking that I need the latest version but still the Bios allows me to change the order.

  The problem is the screen flashes only when I'm in the form of change of boot order. When I select the upper and down arrows to select an option in the box just blinks and does not allow me to select any option.

  I tried the tab key, the number keys basically all of the keys that I on the keyboard, and still, I can't select usb or cd drive so I have to quit and restart.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Hi scarpentier,

  You can change the boot order in the BIOS and booting from another boot device? Go into the BIOS and change the boot order. Enter a startup disk (e. g. Toshiba recovery disc), save & exit the BIOS Setup. The computer will restart and should boot from the CD.

  Check this box!

• Satellite L300D-200 - I can do a system dual boot?

  Hello

  My toshiba satellite OS is Windows Vista Home premium.
  Does anyone know if the satellite L300D can have a dual boot of Windows Vista home premium and the Linux operating system?

  Hello

  Why it shouldn't be possible to make a system dual boot?

  You can install a Linux distro without problem. What distribution do you want to install? If you want Ubuntu I can recommend the Wubi Installer. This tool is very easy to use because it installs Ubuntu as a Windows application.
  But of course you can also use another Linux distribution ;)

  Last but not least, let me give you a tip: before installing something, make sure you already burned the Toshiba recovery disc. If a problem occurs, you can restore the factory settings every time.

  Good bye

• create the dual boot with an external hard drive

  I want to create dual boot laptop (OS 2 in 1) in my laptop, but my internal hard drive reach maximum (3) logical partition for my windows operating system 7 is not allow me to create a new logical partition install win8 pro. I've planed to buy an external hard drive and connect with my laptop and install win8 in external hard drive and use win8 and 7. Is it possible? If possible how to create? Please give me instructions step by step.

  Hi Karthik,

  If your hard drive has enough free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. It's called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Every time that you start your computer, you can choose which version of Windows to run. You can also install Windows 8 on an external hard drive and use it to dual boot.

  You can see the Microsoft article below for more information about this.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  I hope this helps.
