• 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!

• Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Dual boot with Ubuntu based distributions

  _ * My specifications: * _
  * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
  * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)

  I would like to set up my computer to dual boot with Windows 8.1 (x 64) and Zorin OS 9.1 (64-bit).

  ZORIN OS is a derivative of Ubuntu which maintains a binary compatibility with Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu and Zorin use the same drivers and can run the same applications. John Damascene is more or less just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment and some additional preinstalled applications.

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  NOTE: I prefer to do things using graphical interfaces, rather than the CLI. I don't mind given CLI instructions; also just showed me the GUI equivalents if possible. I use the CLI if there is no alternative.

  Hello

  See my responses / comments among your questions (I took part of your message and inserted here):

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  Answer: If you want to dual-boot, do NOT select WSC as preventing Windows to start.
  You shouldn't have to disable startup secure either, but I can't promise that. I think that Ubuntu 14 has support for secure boot.

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  Answer: No, I don't think that there is a way to use the SSD in Zorin without making it unusable for Windows.
  Suggestion - let it be.

• Satellite L30-105 Dual Boot with XP Possible

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30-105, and while I do not particularly like Vista, I need to keep it for various reasons. However, I must also now use the laptop with a piece of hardware (a North G2 synthesizer) who does no Vista drivers.

  So I think the best thing I can do is to create a dual boot system, but a lot of articles on the net say you need from your CD original Vista, and of course the laptop does not come with one.

  So what I want to do possible? And there at - it a guide for how to do this? I have an XP license and the CD that I can use for this.

  Hello

  I installed the XP and Vista on my laptop.
  It was a little difficult because the XP installation crushed the Vista MBR (master boot record) and the Boot Manager.
  But I solved it by using the original CD of Vista. I had to borrow from a friend.

  I booted from CD of Vista and it repaired the Vista Boot Manager.
  Then I installed the tool called EasyBCD and set up the Vistas Boot Manager.

  That helped get XP and Vista on two different partitions.

• I want to dual boot with linux, but already have 4 primary partitions

  I want to dual boot Linux (Ubuntu) along with Win 7 64 bit. The problem is that I already have 4 primary scores on the HARD drive, so I have to delete/clean one of them. HP_TOOLS can be moved to a partition existing (C for example), all while keeping features?

  I have a DV6-2112sa

  Thank you.

  Hello.

  XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

  To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

  Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
  Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

  Thank you in advance.
  Marc

  Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
  Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

  Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

• Satellite L450-171 - Dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows XP

  Hi all
  I bought a Satellite L450-171 with pre-installation of Windows 7. For reasons of compatibility, I installed Windows xp on an another computer partitition.

  But in the marketing, I don't see the two operating systems. I don't see Windows xp.

  Please how can I do to be able to also run Windows 7?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi josedunet_1,

  Normally the start menu where you can change between the two BONES will be created if you install XP first and than Windows 7.

  Now in your case, you need to change the boot sector. Therefore, you can use a tool with GUI like EasyBCD. You can manage it in just a few clicks.
  Check it! ;)

• Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks

  A small question;
  How to dual boot with two recovery disks ive got with my laptop (Satellite Pro L40)

  discs 1 & 2 are windows vista buisness
  discs 3 & 4 are windows xp profesional
  Disc 5 is updated the bios

  The guy where I bougt garage computer (a metal regular store named expert) says that it is posible with discs tose.
  I have
  I already have a partition, but when I boot from disks, is not has the option to select a partition

  Thanks already

  > 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.

• 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

• Sierra takes in dual boot with Boot Camp? Laminated through 25 pages. Did not direct discussions or responses.

  Installation of Microsoft Windows need to run Microsoft 'Access', which is not available to OX. Until I try to install OX 10.0.2 does anyone know if it supports the dual boot with BootCamp or similar? Thank you!

  Boot Camp creates a Windows partition on the internal disk and allows the computer to be switched between Mac OS X and Windows, but not to have two OS running at the same time. make products such as VirtualBox.

• 24 b017c: 24 - b017c dual boot with Win7 possible?

  The b017c is capable of running WIN7 pro in anyway shape?

  I really need to do a system dual boot with WIN7 If Yes.  WIN10 is not be nice to some specific software Attorney that I need to have to work for a client. Win7 is the latest OS, this software is compatible with before an upgrade of expensive software can't be compatible with Win8 or higher (we're talking $1000-2000 range).

  I tried to install WIN7 on this computer after the partitioning of the disk space, and put out several settings in the bios (I had error btw), but WIN7 keeps hanging in the first screen after loading the drivers (language selection screen). Something happens where ports USB closing killing all connections to the mouse and keyboard. I have tried many changes in the bios settings and a retry of the WIN7 Installer (from an installation disc) but no dice.

  Is there a certain combination of settings that must be disabled in the bios to get the win7 Installer right or I'm screwed?

  Thanks for any help

  What an adventure!

  As you discovered, you must completely format the drive as one or the other (GPT or MBR).  You cannot format a GPT partition and the other in the MBR.

  I wonder if you had back and disabled the legacy mode, if W7 would let you install on the GPT - or partition if the disabling legacy mode would also have permitted secure boot.

  In any case, it's water under the bridge.

• Satellite L305-S5939: bridge & Speedboost Vista card media adapter

  I just bought a Satellite L305-s5939 and forgot to consult it when I bought it.
  Before I opened the box, I wanted to understand two things.

  First of all, what is a bridge of media card adapter?
  He said that this computer has one on the specifications.
  This means - it is not built in and I have to put the adapter whenever I want to use?

  Second adapter of this type does not allow the use of Speedboost for Vista.
  I just assumed that all laptops had standard built in memory card readers, but it read adapter bridge and makes me nervous.

  I thank you,
  P.

  Hey Buddy

  It is a Toshiba laptop model we
  I put t know exactly the specifications of L305 card reader but it should support the
  4-in-1 Bridge Media Slot. This property supports the:
  -Cards-secure Digital (SD)
  -Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) cards

• Can I do a dual boot with Windows 7?

  After taking all the precautions I can think to install Windows 7 on my wifes laptop. Drive recovery system, backups (2 DVDs) and an image I did more than 6 DVD.

  I thought why not only reduce the Vista Partition, install Windows 7 in the created partition and run Windows 7 to see if it will work on the laptop (gives me time to straighten out things so that my wife can always use). Then remove the Vista Partition. If the laptop was mine would just reformat the dang thing and deal with what it goes down from there.

  Then there is the Question of what to do about the EISA (recovery Partition)?

  Hello!

  Of course, you can install Windows 7 and do a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista... Why not? ;)

  As you have already said if Windows 7 works well on your laptop (I put t know which model you have exactly) you can remove Vista and use the old partition to store data or to include a new in the Windows 7 partition.

  The hidden partition do you mean isn't the Toshiba recovery partition! It is a feature of Windows.
  You can remove this partition you don t he most needs.

  In addition, with the Toshiba Recovery disk, you are on the safe side. If you don't want Windows 7 you can go to Vista (factory settings). :)

  Good bye
