W530 Install Win8 Downgrade for Win7

Hi all

I just got a new W530 last month, and I wanted to downgrade Win8 to win7. However, when I was trying to intall

the windows7, there is an error message:

Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style

Then, I tried to use the tool of Gparted to remove all partitions on the disk hard and then created two new

partitions. However, when I tried to install windows7, it has the same error message. Those who know how

to resolve this problem, pls let me know. Thanks in advance.

Alex

I thought I already solved this problem. My solution is to use Gparted again to delete all partitions, and then quit.
Then reinstall windows7, windows7 installation process, I created two new partitions, and it worked. I hope this help someone who has the same problem.

  • Downgraded for Win7

    Hey guys

    I downgraded to Win7 and I am having some problems.

    My battery seems to flow in a way faster than when I was on Win8.1. I went into the bios and did a battery check. He said that everything was OK. However, I went to support assistant and did a battery check it and he told me that the battery was unknown. I tried to calibrate the battery, but it wouldn't let me.

    I wanted to also make sure I have all the right drivers installed my system.

  • try to install audio Beats for Win7 6 t - 1100 CTO

    I received a laptop of 6 t - 1100 CTO and fallen into a real SSD and installed Win7 x 64 on it. Everything works without problem with appropriate drivers (or at least the drivers who work) except the audio is terrible. It works, but it's really tin - y and the sub does not at all anything. I tried to download a few beats different drivers from different sources and I get an error "system does not meet the minimum requirements. I contacted HP support and basically they said that this model is specially designed for Win8 - implying that there are physical limitations of some sort. I could download a 3rd party eq control system, but if the system does not use the sub, there is only so much I can do with the "regular" speakers I would like to get the beats software - or at least to get the system to recognize and use the subwoofer. Any help would be certainly appreciated!

    I think that you must install the driver IDT W8.

  • Attempt of deletion, repartitioning of a pre-installed HARD drive for Win7 (from Vista Home Prem)

    Hello

    I just bought a 2nd hand Dell 1545, who had a virus on his Seagate 250 GB HDD that is preinstalled on the device from Dell.
    The disc has a healthy 39 M, a partition of primary health of 14.65 GB OEM partition and a 218,20 GB of free space, which took me 3 days
    to remove the handles of some unknown reformatting of limitation.
    The machine originally had Vista Home Premium SP1 on it, that I intend to upgrade with my copy of Win 7 retail.
    This is, as I understand it, Win7 need a 20 GB partition.
    How can I get the 3 partitions to merge and be a whole HARD disk, so I can create a new partition for the SYS OP to reinstall?
    I already tried this, nothing done... and I tried disk management, but that fails miserably, too.  Suggestions?
    The HARD drive contains nothing that I know that I already wiped the separate partitions as it became possible to do.
    Hope this is enough information for a person to bring their expertise to solve and that I'm posting in the right place.
    Thank you very much in advance for any help.

  • C855 satellite - cannot install wireless driver for Win7

    Hello

    A few days ago, I got a new Toshiba Satellite C855, no operating system installed. I installed Windows 7 ultimate x 64, but I can not install my WIRELESS card.

    The drivers supplied by toshiba site does not work and windows does not recognize the card.
    According to the ID of the map material, it should be realtek 8723,
    hoewer the drivers for this card on the Toshiba site do not have the required files.

    My question is, do someone have the drivers or a link where I can download them.

    ;)

    Yes, it seems that there is a new WiFi chip and the driver is not downloaded/published on the Toshiba WLan portal page yet.

    Would recommend to check this page in the near future I hope that this pilot will be available shortly.

  • Deployment of WIN8 CAB for Win7

    Can I use Windows 8 ACR for Windows 7 deployment?

    Windows 8 drivers are always compatible with Win7 or could there be some drivers (mass storage I think) who might not be?

    Sorry, I misread your question.  My suggestion would be to not use them.  Feel free to experiment, but since Dell provides already, not only at the level of the system of ACR for Windows 7, but also taxis Combo (which makes life a lot easier), you'd be better off using the appropriate drivers for the OS that you deploy.

    Oh and FYI.  I tried to use the Windows 8 drivers for XPS 12 to this system support WIndows 7 and he really doesn't like me eventually.

    This file is not known to me and usually something like that should not appear if install you the software in the correct order.
    Before you start to install the Toshiba software you need to install the Toshiba value added for Windows 7 package!

    Only if this PPV was installed and restarted laptop, you can follow with other tools.

    > 2 - you have hwsetup software preinstalled on Win8, but I couldn't find this sw / even Win8 to the download pages where Toshiba can get this sw fly because it gives the possibility to configure the BIOS without waiting for the start?

    Driver package system that is available to win 8 is NOT available for Win 7.
    Instead of system driver you have installed to VAP!

    Any comments? Option Charge & sleep, but also other options like the Wake Up LAN or keyboard may discharge the battery. So in case you n t want that, disable it in the BIOS

  • downgrade Win8 home for Win 7

    After a few months of sporadically trying to access a Microsoft Account or the store on my Dell Inspiron 660 without success (with some 1,000 others Win8 according to M.S. Articles), more its incompatibility with * all * of my external audio interfaces USB despite the driver updates, the time has come to downgrade to Win7 from Win8 preinstalled host.  I guess the software is the problem as long as the hardware works fine otherwise and everything will work in Win7.

    So, the issue will be any retail version of Windows 7, for example. at Amazon, being 100% compatible with this machine, or is there some stuff with the bios that would need fixing.  It's a Dell configured with Win7 version to buy.

    There is not a Dell of Windows 7 version to purchase.  Dell Windows 7 media differs from Microsoft media it activates automatically when it is installed on a Dell computer that is eligible, and it has some elements of customization (background/user images, logo support, etc.).

    A 'detail' key and the included media will be fine.

    You can find drivers Windows 7 x 64 for the 660 here:

  • Satellite L875D: USB 3.0 ports do not work after decommissioning of Win8 for Win7

    Hello

    I got my OS of Win8 OEM for Win 7 Home Premium because Win8 is just not for me... Its a legal version of Win7 with a product key, storebought...

    The laptop is a Satellite L875D-10N, which I bought in September 13.

    Installation went well, except that 2 3 ports USB 3.0 no longer works.
    I can stil fresh my phone or other devices, but the laptop is not "see". Also, USB drives and other storage devices are not recognized.

    In the Device Manager the ar two ports under "other devices" and no driver is installed for them.
    I tried in different ways to find and install a driver, but it never works.

    Can someone help me with this? I would be very much greatfull!

    Kind regards

    > In Device Manager, the two ports are listed in the "other devices" section and no driver is installed for them.

    Indeed the USB issue seems to be related to the missing drivers.

    You must install this driver USB 3.0:
    [Driver USB AMD v 2.0.7.176 Windows 7 - 64 bit: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 178 & selProduct 7534 = & selSh ortMod = null & language = 13 & selOS = 30 & selType = all & yearu pload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = a llMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = al l & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 3 & ID = 87792 & OSI D = 30 & driverLanguage = 42]

    In addition, you will need to make sure that this chipset driver has been installed too.
    The laptop supports the graphics chip ATI and AMD chipset. The chipset driver is the driver of ATI graphics card and this is why you must make sure that this driver would be installed too.

  • L750D-14R satellite - cannot install the driver for the TouchPad Win7

    Hello

    I have a problem with drivers for the touchpad. I downloaded v 15.2.11.1 Synaptics and me couldn't install them.
    "Installation of Synaptics (sync TP) ranked" I've got Windows 7 x 64. I've looked everywhere but I can't find any information on this problem.

    If someone knows what can go wrong and how can I fix this problem I would appriciate it.

    Never had any problems with installing the touchpad driver.
    I guess its not the touchpad driver problem but the problem with your system.

    First, you must uninstall the old driver for the touchpad.
    This can be done in the control panel-> programs & features

    Clean the system using some freeware like for instance CCLeaner tools.
    Restart the laptop between procedures.

    Then download driver Synaptics driver Toshiba UE page.
    Alternatively, you can try to install the driver for the Synaptics driver page: http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers
    In my case it worked and this driver has added some additional options that I would change in the Synaptics touchpad settings

  • How to clone disk HARD of backup/restore for ideapad with pre-installed win8 and recovery button work?

    Hi all

    I recently bought a y510p ideapad. It came with pre-installed win8, and I have no recovery CD. I intend to play with linux on this laptop, but do not want to lose win8. So before I have potentially immediately reformat, I think to make a copy of clone of my HDD on an external USB drive. The general plan is like that,

    1. make a copy of mobile on external USB HARD drive

    2 mud with linux - and foolishly autour reformat the entire process

    3. have fed up with linux and want to return to windows

    4 copy of retrospective data from usb driver external HDD latop

    5 return to the comfort of win8

    With the help of this tool (clonezilla) will work in the above scenario?

    If not, are there any other alternatives (free if all goes well) I could use?

    Make the plan will cause OKR is not functioning properly. To prove this to get a hard drive of exact size and make a clone of hard disk of the device. Remove the hard drive from the unit and place the disc clone hard inside. You can now play with the disk hard clone to your hearts desire but OKR first test if it still works. Even if OKR no longer work, you can proceed with the installation of linux. Once you're disgusted with Linux everything you have to do is replace the hard disk clone with the original hard drive and you're back to win with OKR 8 still works.
