• Upgrade Vista to Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be damaged or missing. Error Code Ox80070017.

  I am upgrading of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) for Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) - but getting stopped everytime I try, I end up with a dialog box stating: "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be damaged or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error Code Ox80070017.

  What should I do to resolve this problem and allow full of Windows 7 installation? (my computer is a Compaq Presario V6000).

  Hello

  What installation media you are using?

  Method 1:

  Error 0 x 80070017 translates "CRC error" which means that the files that are copied from the disc are not making it to the hard drive with the same structure, which means that the 'original' the disk files are modified/changed/corrupted while being copied to the location of the 'destination' on your disk during Setup.

  This usually means a bad DVD, or an error reading on the DVD player.

• SE error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "When you try to install new drivers for DVD players

  Original title: CD/DVD drives do not work after upgrade from XP to Vista

  I upgraded my dell E521 to Vista dimension, but now finds that none of the CD/DVD drives work.  I also tried two external drives, same thing.  I downloaded the new drivers for the internal disks and when I tried to install the windows said they already had the best drivers.  Both drives are TSST - I get device status "windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "I want to upgrade to 7, but can not run the dvd, and apparently MS has no download available if you purchase cd!  Am tearing my hair!

  Hi krt2,

  In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

  You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

  Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

  a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

  c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

  d. restart your computer.

  Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

  See the links below for more details on the update of drivers:

• Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not start - hang at the BIOS splash screen

  My Satellite Pro L300-1FN refuses to start. When turned on the laptop displays the home screen toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS and the message "press F2 go to the Setup utility, F12 to go to the start menu" and flashes the light access to the hard drive, but don't try to continue loading. I left the bios at the start screen, but it doesn't do anything for long hours on a power supply or is running the battery flat while on battery.

  Is there a way to re - put the BIOS on this unit? If it's a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a reset of the BIOS but that's impossible on a laptop. The hard drive is fine because I have it plugged into another system to remove valuable data.

  Hello

  What happens if you press F2 when starting the laptop to the top?
  You can access the BIOS?
  If so, access the BIOS and set its default value. I think you need to press F9 or F10 to get default parameters, but this will be mentioned at the bottom of the page of the BIOS.

  Check it!

• Satellite A30-931 - what happens if the BIOS update will not?

  I was recommended to make an update of the BIOS on the above machine. I think that the existing version is 1.30 and the correct replacement is 1.70 (I think it's PSA33E: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/eula/info_eng2.asp]).

  The original BIOS has a password. Want to know what happens if this process goes wrong. My system will be unusable or is it a pre-installation of the backup procedure?

  The additional problem is that the fan is happening every minute or so. The radiator looks clean, but maybe new thermal grease should be applied to the cpu.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In the worst case if the update goes bad your computer doesn t boot. This means that you can only see a black screen and nothing you can do. In this case you would need professional assistance from an authorized service, they can reflash the ROM module or Exchange it.

  But a few important points here before starting the update:
  S ' ensure that you are logged on as administrator
  -Disable your AntiVirus and your firewall
  -Disconnect the Internet
  -Close all running programs

  > The additional problem is that the fan is happening every minute or so. The radiator looks clean, but maybe new thermal grease should be applied to the cpu.
  Yes, maybe the thermal compound must be renewed if you already cleaned your laptop. After that, everything should work normally.

• Black screen after updating the BIOS on the Satellite A200 - 12 X

  Hi people, I have a Satellite A200 - 12 X and get me some problems when I try to install the latest version of the bios.
  Today, I see the new driver bios here in the drivers of toshiba, the version of the 08/07/07.
  I have download and start installing, in the middle of the border as usual in windows vista gives me problems, and I complete the configuration of the bios.
  Restart the notbook and give them a black screen and nothing else.
  I take out the power cable and try turn turn it on if advance again once and nothing, turn on the power tube and read the dvd, but don't go to windows or other place, just a screen backl.
  Can someone tell me what is taking place and how I can fix the situation please.

  Hello

  It seems during the BIOS update process, something went wrong and therefore the laptop does not start correctly.
  You should know that the update of the BIOS is always a risky job.

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to solve this problem. You need a help of an ASP.

  As the above user said, contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask for help!

  Good luck

• Satellite M100-150 gets 'blue screen' and resets the bios data

  This problem started months ago.
  Laptop shows sometimes 'blue screen' for unknown reason and constantly does if there's some modern running game graphics.
  After that I always see that the settings bios reset to default values

  What should I do?

  Okay, it looks like some kind of a problem. Could be a hardware problem, but that's just a guess about your situation.

  First, you must perform an update of the BIOS on your computer to make sure that the rom BIOS is OK.

  Then, if the problem persists, I would contact an authorized service partner, since the problem seems more related material.

  If this is the case, visit the following link to find the nearest ASP in your country. Send your machine there for a checkup of material:

  My HP S5-1020 primer Office No.  It hangs at the initial screen of HP.  By pressing f10 at startup several times did nothing, he never goes to the bios screen.  There is no light on the keyboard so I suspect something wrong with usb.  I tried different keyboards and different usb ports.  All the fans in the case are well-developed.  Power led is steady green.  I removed the 2 ram dims and tested individually by themselves.  Nothing helps so far.

• HP probook 450 G2: flickering horizontal lines on the screen while watching the video after water damage

  Hello

  My father accidentally threw a glass of cola on my computer, on my keyboard. I was able to turn my laptop upside down very quickly and went out of the battery. I then let dry for 24 hours. At first glance the damage seemed limited to my keyboard that I already replaced. Everything else seems to work very well (sound, touchpad, usb ports, hdmi, dvd drive port) until I watched a video. Flickering horizontal lines appeared in the background, which are only slightly visible. Lines do not appear when I'm surfing the internet, playing games, or when I do no matter what other casual stuff. I also don't see any flickering lines when I connect to my laptop to an external display.

  Does anyone have an idea on what the problem might be and what parts can I replace to fix this?

  The unit to boot BIOS and check if you get all the lines. If you don't get all the lines in the BIOS screen,

  then update the BIOS and chipset. But if the problem persists then you must send it to the service.

• Pavilion dv9655ea: screen garbled in the bios and windows

  Hi I have a laptop of dv9655ea of Pavilion, which had vista installed on it from the factory. I decided that I would upgrade to windows 7 ultimate. Everything was going well until I started to install drivers and I believe that it is the graphics driver that messed me up.

  Now, I have 256 colors and lines and blocks on my screen and cannot do something. I managed to Flash my bios, thinking it was a bios problem, but not sure. I tried to reinstall the graphics drivers to no success.7

  Can someone please help me with this problem of another sound in the tray.

  Thank you.

  Hi @Lordzytech ,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question on your HP Pavilion Notebook dv9655ea and text scrambled on the screen of the BIOS.  The BIOS has not all drivers installed for the moment so I don't think it's a driver issue or dysfunction of the graphics card.

  I recommend to restore the default settings of the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. This will have the BIOS check the connected equipment. If an update has changed the BIOS that it will restore and generally solves all problems.

  I don't see that on the HP driver page there are drivers for Windows 7. The original operating system on this laptop was Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit and it used use a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS graphics card.

  You may need to return the laptop to Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Here is a link for your system recovery.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• Windows XP installation hangs when the BIOS is set to AHCI

  I have Windows 7 on my computer. It has a motherboard Asus P8Z77 - V LX with the AHCI BIOS.

  Now, I would like to install Windows XP to a dual boot set up so that my son can continue to play some of their old games XP.

  When I tried to install XP, I got the BSOD during the first phase of the installation process.

  Internet research, I discovered that Windows needs a controller AHCI driver and that I could use F6 to install the appropriate driver to a diskette during installation or wake the driver in a Windows installation CD using a program called nLite. I chose the latter because there are no floppy drive on the computer. I chose the version XP 32 bit Intel (R) series 7/216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller to wake.

  I used my newly created installation disk and the initial phase of installation is fine, but after the first reboot, just like the Windows XP GUI interface appeared, the system crashed, rebooted and crashed again.

  The only way I could get XP install was to change the BIOS to IDE, then it installed fine. But Windows 7 does not load unless I have change the AHCI BIOS so that's what I've done so far.

  Suggestions as to how I can either get XP to install in AHCI mode or change it to AHCI mode, once it has been installed in IDE mode?

  OK, my apologies, it seems I have didn't read entirely your answer. I have BSOD stop 7B have treated several times and has been guilty of inaccurate "quick read".

  However, I gave you a possibility through response to your last paragraph...

  install the drivers for XP AHCI as it is started in IDE mode, and then change the AHCI BIOS

  .. have you tried this? What were the results?

  After thinking a bit about this possibility, it may be a good idea to restart in IDE mode after installing the AHCI driver before then stopping and switching to AHCI mode.

  As far as I know there are only two possibilities for the installation of the AHCI driver when installing XP. You dismissed one of them (Setup F6 disk) and you say that the other does not have a bootable system. Maybe you could try to "slipstreaming" once again, in which case the process did not work properly. Where did you get the drivers from making the wake? Was it the same place as the link I posted above? Absence of "slipstreaming" or the purchase of a (cheap) floppy drive, my only suggestion is that I repeated above.

  Finally, can you confirm that it is stop 7B that you get? If not what stop do you receive?

  Tricky

• How to check the version of the BIOS is not damaged on Equium A60

  I have another thread in regards to IEEE 1394 host controller usually start and other strange questions for Equium A60.

  Regarding above, I feel THAT BIOS can be altered that I cut two pins to get rid of power according to the tried and tested instruction on another site, the BIOS password. Properly deleted BIOS password! Password requirement has occurred after that the computer is not used for a long time. Maybe the short circuit with a paperclip to cause corruption of the BIOS? Computer note seems to maintain time and date so battery CMOS OK?

  Can I reflash the BIOS or require special equipment? Any help appreciated more

  Hello!

  Why would you say that the BIOS is intact?

  If you have downloaded the BIOS Toshiba it s not intact. Toshiba doesn't offer these BIOS versions, they would be tested before.

  The BIOS (for example with an older version), you can reflash t. This can make an ASP (authorized service provider). If you wish, contact your local ASP. Only, they know to do this and will not get such textbook because it s a user to user forum.

  Good bye
