  > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
  Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
  Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

  Hello

  Method 1:
  Try to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  
  Method 2:
  I also suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.
  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
  a. Insert the installation disc.
  b. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
  c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  e. click on repair your computer.
  f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair

• Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8

  Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

  Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.

  I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
  -Disable secure boot
  -Change UEFI CSM support
  -Save

  On reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:

  «This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)

  Realtek...

  PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
  PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
  "No boot device - insert boot and press a key.

  I can't open the Bios again at F2.

  Which I recover the system?

  Hello

  The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

  Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

  That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
  But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

  If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
  Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

  Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
  Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
  Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

  Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

• How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

  Hello

  I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.

  I have only a drive HARD aleady with 2 partitions (1 for vista) + 1 for data.
  I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
  At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).

  Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
  but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.

  Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop

  Thank you
  Gerard

  Hello!

  Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

  After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
  Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
  Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

  Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

  Good bye

• Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 00L 005) - Dual boot with XP and Windows 7

  Hello

  Just bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. Then downloaded and installΘ_ * virtual XP Pro * _ but not happy with the results that a lot of things he can do my other dual boot 17 "computer laptop with Vista/XP Pro will do.

  Background
  There are 3 partitions on the HARD disk
  1. active primary recovery 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 287 Gb
  3 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Can I partition the C: drive in sectors 2 X 145 GB and make the new partition _ * assets * _NTFS?

  When I tried to install Xp Pro on another machine current Win7 partitioned as shown above, it 'blue preset' at the point of loading Xp using the RAID SATA CH8M-E charge via my USB FDD controller. Is it because this SATA driver is not current?

  What is the correct SATA driver?

  Does anyone know for sure that this machine will operate in dual boot Win7/Xp Pro?

  Any help much appreciated

  Peter

  Yes, you can dual-boot two versions of Windows.

  What you do is:

  Create recovery discs just in case something happens.
  Retractable C: drive at half the size.
  Create a new partition NTFS for XP.
  Download the driver for the controller SATA F6 www.intel.com
  Copy the SATA drivers on a floppy disk
  Boot from your XP (must have SP2 or SP3 slipstreamed) disc, press F6 when you are prompted to use the SATA driver on the floppy drive (to avoid the BSOD 0x0000007B)
  Configure the installation of XP to install on the partition that you created.

  When you restart, XP may have taken over and ignore Win7.
  In this case, you can restore the Win7 boot loader using EasyBCD (google is your friend)

  If the BIOS has an option of SATA controller Mode, simply activate the IDE Mode instead of the SATA driver.

• Dual boot Windows 7 and Vista

  can vista and windows be installed on the same computer at the same time if I uninstall windows 7 will run my vista back system

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_vista_and_windows_7_vista_installed_first.htm

  Your question is confusing.

  If you double start, delete thye Partition of Windows 7, then probably having to do a Vista startup repair.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Dual Boot Windows 7 and Vista only boot to Windows 7

  I installed Windows 7 on a new hard drive and Windows Vista has left on the former. When I start the computer it starts with windows 7 automatically and does not give me a choice of boot. The 'C' drive has been renamed had ' by installing and my new drive is labeled 'C', which should have happened?

  Can someone give me idea how to make a choice at startup?

  Try the following in Windows 7:

  Click Start, type: Powershell

  Press enter

  Enter the following command:

  Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {add-AppxPackage-DisableDevelopmentMode-register "$($_.) {"InstallLocation) \AppXManifest.xml"}

  Press enter

  Exit powershell and reboot and you should see a choice to select Vista or Windows 7 at startup.

  If it does not work.

  EasyBCD by NeoSmart Technologies would be your answer, it provides a graphical front-end to the BCDEdit Command line that makes it easy for you to set the boot settings and change the entries start on the new Windows Boot Manager. http://NeoSmart.NET/DL.php?id=1

• How to create the dual boot with Red Hat Linux and Vista on Satellite A200

  Hi all!

  I have a Satellite A200 pre-installed with vista home premium and I would install another OS that is Red Hat Linux Fedora Core 7.
  Can someone advice me how do? I'll be very grateful to receive your answers. Thanks again!

  Well, I put t use this Linux distro on my laptop but I used the Knoppix Live CD and it was very easy.
  It was not necessary to install anything. I simply booted from the Live CD and I could use the full Linux operating system.

  So, it might be better to use this Linux live CD instead of the complete installation.
  I think that the main problem would be available to the driver.
  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Linux on laptops and so Linux drivers are not available.

• Qosmio G20: How to make a dual-boot?

  I have three partitions on my Qosmio G20.
  I run WinXP on one and use a larger data.
  The third partition is able to run Vista in (whenever that will happen).
  I did it on other PCs with a RAID-0 configuration, but which required a floppy with the RAID driver during installation.
  There is no floppy on the Qosmio, so how can I work around this obstacle?

  Hello

  Usually the Windows operating system offers a clean startup application.
  You should get a boot order (manager) automatically if you have installed two different systems on the device.
  But nevertheless you can use also 3rd party applications

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

  I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

  Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

  Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

  In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

  Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

  I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

  I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

  My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

  What would you recommend I do?
  My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

  Hey,.

  Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

  I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

  So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

• Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

  I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
  I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

  However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
  Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

  Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
  Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

  I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

  If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.
