• Satellite P300 - how to install Windows 7 64 bit?

  Hello

  I had a Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade for my P300 which was under Vista 32 bit. During installation, asked me if I wanted to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 and I chose 32-bit. Installation worked fine.

  Now (moths later) I decided that I would like to install the 64-bit version instead. I have an own (custom) settled by booting from the DVD, but it don't did me not option for the moment and all re-installed Windows 7 32 bit. I know that the 64-bit version is on the DVD (there is a folder for it) - how to start from the DVD and have it install the 64 bit version?
  I didn't format the drive when you perform the clean installation - if I do that it will give me the option?

  Thank you
  Ben.

  Great news, mate! :)

  Thank you for this feedback. I'll test it on my Satellite P300 I want to upgrade to Windows 7 too.

  In addition, an upgrade is possible to the same version: This means that Vista 32 bit can only be upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7. On 64 bit it s the same ;)

• Satellite A300 BSOD when installing Windows XP

  Bought a new Satellite A300 that ships with Vista and a load of other rubbish.
  Set the BIOS to boot from the installation CD of Windows XP, but just after loading the drivers and files and just before
  from Windows XP installs, crash with blue screen advising me:

  A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer,
  blah, blah. In other words blue screen of death that ends with this message - STOP: 0xF78D2524, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000

  Now, I've had quite a few machines over the years, but never something like that before you encounter when you try to
  install an operating system.

  Any advice appreciated, otherwise unit will have to go back to the seller.

  Thank you

  Access the BIOS-> SATA mode choose and is compatible-> save the changes and exit the BIOS.
  Then try to reinstall Win XP with SP2.

• Satellite A100 - how to install "Windows XP MCE" on a new HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-495. the cd/dvd does not work and I have a new hard drive. Now, I want to install the original os (windows xp professional, mce).
  I'm trying to put the files of my original restore on a USB cd but never works and I did not find useful clues in any part of the forum.

  Is there anyone out there who can help me?

  Hi, marawe

  It would never work if you just copy the files from recovery Cd on a usb key. You need to make a BOOTABLE FLASH DISK, to do you need an application like Flashbot... Google.
  Download and install it, after that you can make a bootable usb key.
  You should know that your Bios must support boot with a Usb key, I don't know about your knees. Otherwise, you cannot do so. Hope it works

• Satellite C660 - how to install Windows on the new drive?

  I have an old C660 of 14 months (2 months warranty!) and the HARD drive died quite suddenly.

  * 3 days works great
  * 2 days, got stuck at the "starting Windows".
  * Tried to fix with a System Repair (DVD) boot disk, but could not solve the problem (ran all night)
  * Start of DVD today and now the prompt of commands, each command "dir" on c: takes 20 seconds and try to copy files gives IO error.

  I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and install, but is there a way to get Windows 7 on the drive?
  There is no Windows disk supplied with the notebook... THERE is a recovery partition, but it died too.

  I don't want to buy a new copy of Windows when I already have a license.

  (I never have a backup complete incl. system, like the one and the only time that I tried to do that it was unable to complete the process, killing of many Virgin DVD-R in the process).
  I have most of my personal files backed up.

  Thank you

  The situation is quite clear. You don t have created the recovery disk and you have only two options now:
  (1) you can order the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install the original recovery image
  (2) you can get the original installation disc from Microsoft and install own OS

  In the first case, check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0202TA0000R01.htm

  If you take the decision to use option 2 Please note that your product key is useless and you have to pay for the new activation of license and the code. The sticker product key Microsoft belongs to the recovery image only.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  I hope help you how to install windows xp on my laptop.

  Concerning
  John

  Hello John

  It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
  In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

  What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

• Satellite A505-S6922 - how to install Windows 7 drivers?

  I have an A505-S6992 and I try to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate. I created the recovery with drivers and applications disc. In what order should I install and how to install Windows 7 ultimate?

  I tried to install by going just to the bottom of the list of applications/drivers, but has encountered an error.

  I think that the order of the facilities must be similar or even the same as on Vista.
  After the clean install of Win7 continue with:
  Chipset
  Robson driver
  Display driver
  Audio driver
  LAN
  Touch Pad Driver
  Card reader
  TOSHIBA software modem
  Wireless LAN driver
  Chicony camera software
  Bluetooth stack
  Port driver
  TOSHIBA Value Added Package
  TOSHIBA hardware configuration utility
  TOSHIBA supervisor password
  TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support utility
  TOSHIBA SD Memory utilities
  AuthenTec fingerprint utility
  TOSHBA face recognition
  TOSHIBA ConfigFree
  TOSHIBA WPS library
  TOSHIBA Assist
  TOSHIBA Speech System
  CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer
  TOSHIBA TRS driver
  HDMI Control Manager
  Of course, it is order facilities Vista and maybe you won't find listed some stuff on the page to download, but at least you can see how it should be installed.
  Next week, I'll get my new Satellite A500 and I'll test the Win7 installation.

  Please let me know if you will be able to install it with success.

  Good luck!

• How to install Windows XP Home on my Satellite L500-1ZP?

  I formatted my Satellite L500-1ZP (PSLS9E) and thought DLI install win xp instead of win7 (do not have the disk/partition backup)
  now, when I start it with the cd of windows XP blue screen 'windows setup' inside start but when its finished loading, it gives me an error code:
  ' * STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF78DA63C, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000).

  I read somewhere that I need to download SATA drivers for my laptop and do a disc to install windows xp with the SATA drivers on it?

  I tried to get these drivers, but I don't know that I have need and how to do the installation disc
  I copy my original windows XP Home cd and put the drivers in a folder somewhere on the disk?

  I hope someone can resolve my problem because the laptop is just over a year, and I don't really want to buy a new...

  I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs until you started to install own OS. After clean operating system installation you not longer have access to data recovery.

  You are right. For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. How to install Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

  In the end, I must say that your last sentence is pretty confusing to me. You bought the laptop designed for Win7 and you want to use the old WXP on this. Do you really think you need to buy the new laptop if you want to install Windows XP Home edition?

• Re: How to install Windows XP Home on a Satellite L40 - 17R

  I bought a laptop Satellite L40 - 17r without Windows installed and the store didn t give me all the drivers also.
  When I check your "how to install windows XP on a L40.pdf. It says to download the driver package that I can't find on your website.

  I have a Windows XP Home genuine SP2, but I can t install as WXP does ' t find the hard drive.
  I'd be the appropriate driver package to install Windows XP on my laptop.

  If I have an external floppy drive can't, I used a USB drive external hard also add the necessary drivers so that Windows XP can see my hard drive (160 GB HARD DRIVE (5400 RPM) SATA).

  Thanks for your response
  Xavier
