• Computer Toshiba laptop does not start after trying to install SP2 for vista 32 bit

  Tried to install SP2 for vista updates, it stagnates at 12%, message saying a problem has been detected and windows has been closed to protect the computer. At the bottom of the error message screen, it reads, technical info-stop OXOOOOC1F5. Windows doesn't start at all now, has tried running safe mode, pilots seem to load, then it returns to the screen error message with the same problem said. Nothing seems to work, tried same recovery disk came with the computer, it says it is loading files, then it returns also to error message screen. Computer came with vista pre-installed, so I don't have this drive to try. Someone at - it solutions? Very frustrating, how do I search problem when the computer will not start at all? Help!

  Follow the info below to try a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  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.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.
  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

• Stuck on the screen saying 'Shutting Down' after trying to install SP2 on Vista

  So I got problems with my Windows Vista. The day passed or it would freeze completely, all programs not responding. I looked around, and he said that a possible solution would be to install SP2. So I did. As he installed the first of 3 updates, it got stuck at 44% for an hour. Then, she moved to say Shutting Down, which was during the last two hours.

  I don't know what to do now. During the installation, he said do not put off your computer, and while it is said that is no longer, I'm still hesitant to do. Any ideas on what I should do? In addition, would set the gel I described previously by SP2? Or do you know of anything that could be causing it?

  Thank you

• Error System Recovery Options while trying to install Windows 7 on your laptop white (without os)

  I bought a Toshiba laptop satellite c55-c-174 with no OS on it. Downloaded Windows 7 from msdnaa and bootable usb drive created with PowerISO. Had a lot of trouble with the usb as a boot recognition, but then I changed the boot order to usb is just after the drive hard (i.e. second). Also in the configuration system changed boot at CSM Boot Mode. And it's system BIOS version 5.10.

  Finally, he started installation, but found no drivers. So I tried Startup Repair option. Didn't fix it, just at the point where I tried to access the repair your computer option again it says error System Recovery Options: this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair. Try to use a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of windows.

  Someone has the power to deal with this?

  Thanks in advance.

  ISO power not recommended to bootable media.  The prompt for drivers almost always means that the media is bad, because all modern SATA drivers are in the installation media.

  I create flash support using Rufus for UEFI/GPT, then start using only the Key of the BIOS Boot Menu.  Choose the UEFI version to the flash stick, then custom Setup, remove all partitions until the space unallocated click beside the AutoShape and start.

  If you have changed all the UEFI BIOS configuration settings, set them in the UEFI firstly, turn off Secure Boot, CSM disabled, Windows Boot Manager set first to start.  If, in case of doubt poster of photos of back and we will help you sort the parameters correctly.  It would be good also update the UEFI firmware like this can matter.

  All this is covered and much more still to ensure a perfect clean reinstall Windows 7

• tried to install windows 7 on a laptop with windows 8

  When it restarted I State 0xc0000428 can't seem to boot from the dvd enter key esc f1 - 12 etc. doesn't work is not basically cant do anything other then go on the status screen at startup

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.
