Satellite Pro C50: Installation of Win 7 using the UEFI boot mode

I want to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Sat Pro C50 (downgrade if you like - comes with 8 win), but I want UEFI boot, with GPT partitioning.
I'm happy wipe existing partitions if that solved the problem.

I have disabled _have_ Secure Boot.
Win 8 install DVD boot works;
CSM boot and boot from Win 7 DVD works - but this is not what I want.
Definition of return to the UEFI boot and install Win7 boot media - hangs on "Starting Windows" screen
Media _is_ good, works well on the PC manufacturers.

I'm not convinced that it is a problem of Microsoft.

Hello

On Toshiba laptops, where the UEFI BIOS is available, it of necessary to disable secure boot and change the boot to the CSM mode in order to boot from external sources and install systems other than Win 8 or 8.1 Win

Of the workarounds in the internet described the installation of Windows 7 in UEFI mode but I doubt that this will be possible on Toshiba laptops because the BIOS is different and modified for each series of laptop.

  • Satellite C50 - B with Win 8.1 - PXE error is displayed using the UEFI boot mode

    I have a laptop of C50 - b under Win 8.1 and recently needed to boot from a USB stick so finally found the way to do it (missing the start of the first bios menu) and managed to do.

    My problem is same when I returned in the uefi and set the boot order local drive, cd, network, he asks every time that I want to start PXE IP4, IP6 then IP4 and IP6 again. I also disabled secure boot

    I think that a value is missing, when I went to the BIOS and return to the start of IEFU option, but where is the laptop get the setting to tell him to network/PXE boot when the bottom of the list and the wake we LAN is disabled.

    Exactly, secure boot must be enabled in order to boot from the internal HARD disk where the 8.1 for Windows has been installed.

    If you want to boot from external sources (IE USB flash memory stick) you will need to disable secure boot.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - use of the HARD Drive Caddy

    Hello

    When I got my new laptop the first think I did was to install an SSD.

    I don't usually use my optical Bay so I am planning to install a HARD drive enclosure.
    Someone has already done this, and if so have you had any problems? Also, what are data transfer speeds?

    Thank you

    Fraser

    I can't tell you if this extra HARD drive caddy will work in the Satellite Pro C50 series STRANGE Bay - A - 1 K 9 because that depends on the support of the BIOS and the controller.

    I read about these updates several times in different forums and to be stone, sometimes it is possible, but in many cases, the BIOS does not recognize this drive caddy HARD and laptop does not start.

    In the case where you have already tried these updates, please share the details with us!
    I think it would be very interesting for others, if this update worked correctly.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 is hot when you use the knee

    Hello.

    I have a 2100.
    I started using it again after using it not for a few months.

    I noticed when it is sitting on my lap if feels very hot and the fan comes on a very large number.
    The problem is that I don't remember if it was always like this or if it's a recent thing.

    Anyone know if this is normal behavior or the computer can run a bit on the warm side of the signs?

    I have don t wonder that temperature increases when using the laptop on the lap.
    The fact is that the cooling modules are placed in the bottom of the laptop and you would clutter the cooling fans using the laptop on the lap
    I recommend to use the notebook on the desk and leave enough free space around the unit.
    Last but not least, you should check if the fans are not clogged with dust and debris.
    In most cases the dust prevents the cooling fans work properly and this leads to a higher temperature.

    Clean the cooling modules with a jet of compressed air, that you can buy it from the other computer dealers or online.

  • Satellite Pro A200GE and WXP - can I use the PSAE7 drivers or it won't work?

    Sorry, but A200GE is unclear to me. Can you please check the description of the model, and after the right.

  • HDD not found/detected when using the UEFI Boot

    I have a HP Sleekbook 15-b035tx, which came with a windows 8 OS already installed. a few reasons, I tried to quarterback to windows 7. After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally managed to install windows 7 by changing my boot for a legacy starting sequence.
    later due to lack of drivers for win 7, I installed, instead upgraded to win 8 running on existing startup (using the MBR if im not wrong). now, I want to install a new copy of victory 8 with UEFI, but the problem is when I change my boot sequence disable startup inherited, then installing win 8, I do not see my HARD drive ... im using a flash drive to install win 8 which is already in the UEFI (I used diskpart to do this).
    also, when I use legacy boot and try installing windows, then the HARD drive is displayed and when I format the HARD drive and create new partitions, he created 3 partitions (System, MSR), reserved and the fourth for the OS. I tried to install the windows like this, but after installation, when I change the boot sequence in the UEFI even once, it does not start

    now I want to install windows in the UEFI... and I really need help with this please ... I hope I explained the scenario... If someone wants to ask anything, please don't ... as I really need this out... and also, I would like to ask that how can I check if my HARD drive has been changed from MBR of GTP

    Hello:

    I can't find the specifications of product for your model - only these introduce yourself.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/pfinder?cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&tool=&query=15-b035

    They all have Intel hardware with an nVidia GT 630M graphics card.

    If yours has the same characteristics, you can install W7 64 bit there without too much difficulty.

    I know where all the drivers.

    If you do not see the HARD drive normally you must load the sata drivers.

    See if it works in uefi mode...

    Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed - 32 or 64 bit depending on the case).

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+RAPI...

    Extract the files on a usb flash drive.

    With the flash drive and the installation of W8 media plugged into the machine, boot from the installation of W8 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and I hope that the W8 should install.

    If this does not work, and no one else can help out you, let me know if you want to install W7 x 64 on and I'll guide you installed the drivers you need.

  • ACER ASPIRE E5-511-ADD DEVICE USING THE UEFI BOOT.

    Hello. I bought a laptop Acer Aspire with Linux preinstalled E5-511. I want to install windows 8.1.

    I created with Rufus TPG bootable USB flash with win8.1 image. UEFI mode the laptop does not recognize the USB, I have turned off secure boot, put the USB - HDD on the top of the boot priority but in vain.

    In legacy BIOS mode, I can boot and install windows, but the touchpad mouse does not work, only the USB mouse functions.

    How can I add UEFI boot USB flash?

    Thank you in advance.

    You did right, but sometimes the USB interfaces are not recognized by the system, I had some problems with a pair of USB pen which has not worked as a boot device, but another one worked smoothly.

    don't forget to have your HDD or USB pen in FAT32.

  • Satellite Pro L870-172 error 003 when retrieving the recovery DVDs

    Hi all

    Having a devil of a time with this portable darn. So I bought the recovery dvd. tried to boot from the disk and comes with no OS bootable. Thinking it could be a problem with the optical drive, I created a bootable usb key.

    Received the usb key to start

    So I goto Toshiba Recovery Wizard
    Press Yes to say it will wipe the drive.
    Retrieves the software factory default
    In the end, I get an error message

    Error: 003
    Recovery error

    Press ok to start the computer

    You can see the final screen here.
    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1fq5yk4t9hjhmk9/2014-09-05%20at%2012.38.PNG?DL=0

    Can anyone help plleeaaaseeee.

    The only thing I can think is that maybe when I created the USB startup key should I copy then disk2 on the stick as well using xcopy.

    I think there are several reasons for the error.
    The recovery media or the hard drive is may be defective. Wrong settings of the BIOS, etc...

    I recommend you to check once more the Toshiba Recovery bootable disc.
    I don t think that there might be a problem with the optical disc drive.
    From my point of view, it could be a bad BIOS setting.

    The Satellite Pro L870-172 has been pre-installed with the system Win 8.
    Please check start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode option in the BIOS.

    Generally, in order to be able to boot from different devices to boot, secure boot must be disabled.

  • Should what ram I use in Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 M 3

    Hello

    I recently bought the Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 M 3. Reference number: PSCGKE-00M00GEN and since I have an old RAM stick from my previous laptop which is: Kingston, KVR1333D3S9 / 4G, 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM, DDR3 1333, Pc3 - 10600 CL9 204 pins

    I was wondering what would be compatible with my Toshiba laptop?

    Thank you for your time and your attention.
    Concerning
    Jim

    This unit manages the DDR3 SODIMM and these modules supports 204pins

    So I think your DDR3 SODIMM module could be compatible

  • Impossible to change the bright screen on Satellite Pro C50-A-143

    I run windows 8.1 and I could not change the brightness of the screen for a while now.

    It happened a few months before, but after a random number of days that it worked again, now it is stuck in about 60% bright max, which is not enough when the sun comes through the window.

    According to the Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-143 datasheet this laptop has been preloaded with Win 7 64 bit and Win additional 8.1 own drive was part of the package.
    I assume that you have installed own 8.1 win but have not installed all the drivers Toshiba win 8.1.

    Is this correct?

    Visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver, install all the drivers, tools and utilities (graphic card drivers display tool, driver Toshiba system, etc.)
    Utility function key Toshiba is very important if it is to use the key function (Fn, F1-10)

    Then you should be able to use the function key to decrease and increase the brightness of the display.

  • Problems of helmet speakers on dualboot Satellite Pro C50-A-1KV

    Hi all.

    I have a serious problem with Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-1KV. I have win7 x 64 and Ubuntu 14.04 x 64 on this machine. It was first installed Win7 and later Ubuntu 14.04.

    I tried to use the headset while I was logged on ubuntu and there is no sound, the sound was cut out of the speakers but headphones did not work, when I plugged it out I still have the sound on the speakers.

    After reboot I had no sound at all on ubuntu, and when I go to windows, the problem worsen for windows also. Right now it seems like some time the sound is on the speakers, but headset is dead, some time ago his headphones and speakers.

    I have no idea what is the cause of the problem. The win7 and ubuntu have been kept clean, only the updates have been downloaded. I think that the driver has some problems, but how could I make it work. To test, I tried to use Skype and there was a situation where I have the sound on the speakers and headphones, but then the microphone was death-_-'.

    I have a few pieces of it and the exact problem is on half of them. I have 2 deliveries.
    The first onewas ok, everything works. Either everyone has this problem :/

    I tried to make a backup on model where it is working and windows backup restore and install new ubuntu but it did not work.

    Any suggestions what may cause the problem or how to fix?

    I think you should first clarify whether your headset is OK.

    My theory is that your helmet could be faulty (maybe a broken cable or something like that) and that's why speakers and headphones will not work when the headset is plugged into the laptop.

    Laptop computer's headphones Jack supports a small switch that allows you to disable the speakers while the headphones are connected.

    If in case the headset is faulty, the speakers and the headphones would not work.
    So I think you should check the helmet first.

    If you are sure that the earphones are OK, then I think there could be a problem with the little switch in the headphone jack.
    Why? Because I can't imagine that this could be a software / driver problem because the same question is displayed using Linux as well as Windows System.

    The two systems are completely different and that a software / driver problem in both cases, it's almost unbelievable.

    However, I still recommend setting the laptop configuration using the procedure of recovery Toshiba in order to check if the noise problem using Toshiba preistalled system configuration and factory

  • Satellite Pro C50-A-1E4 - how to merge partitions?

    My laptop is a Satellite Pro C50-A-1E4 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    In receiving a year ago, I replaced the hard drive with a 256 GB SSD. I partitioned in a 60 GB C drive and a 192 GB D the rest drive is the hidden restore partition.

    I have install all the software on C and my personal stuff on D.
    Now, the C drive is nearly full, but there are a lot of free space on D.

    Can you advise me how reallocate for example 20 GB from D to C with nothing to lose?
    I would like to make a complete backup of the drive D.

    Basic support for Windows (seems to me) to sit on a hard drive where the bottles must be adjacent, but I'm assuming that does not apply to an SSD.

    Any help and advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I recommend you to use a 3rd party software called Gparted.
    http://gparted.org/LiveCD.php

    Its freeware software that allows you to change the partitions on SSD or HARD disk.

    You can create a bootable USB flash memory key and might start Notepad to change the partitions.

    This s really great freeware software.
