• Satellite U400-15B - Windows 7 upgrade Question

  Hello world

  I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to WIndows 7 through the upgrade DVD Toshiba. I was just wondering, has anyone tried a clean install of Windows 7?

  My purpose, I would like to make a facility and have no record of my Vista install, so want to try 64 bit. I've downloaded all driver for Windows 7 32 & 64 bit in the section download Toshiba already. Y at - it a particular order, that they must do once Windows 7 is installed?

  Thanks in advance.

  Maybe something like this is possible, but you should know that own pre-installed OS will not be activated and you must pay for it.
  Take a risk and try it.

• Newbie question on merging 3 - Windows 7 (upgrade) and virtual disk

  Hello

  I apologize if these questions were discussed on other threads, but I looked and did not find those specific to what I do. Since I am a new user, my experience with the merger is limited only to the few days of operational use.

  I received my iMac the other day and wanted to install Windows 7 (upgraded version) using Boot Camp and access either by booting natively to Win7 or through merger to access the Boot Camp. My friend, who has more experience than me has suggested, I use VMware Fusion for Win7 do run a vitural drive and not worth using Boot Camp, and a "hard" partition He said it would be faster and easier to manage (not sure now).

  I set up a disc in this drive and external created 4 partitions, which was intended for Win7. Then I installed VMware Fusion on iMac and went on loading windows on the external drive using the easy method. Easy installation application the activation code for Win7 and I provided at the specified location. Everything was humming along nicely until Windows 7 complained that he could not find a version support for Windows earilier. I had a Windows XP genuine disc ready to throw on the iMac, as soon as she needed, but instead he has cancelled installation.

  Then, I went to Google and searched for some answers and discovered that Win7 install in Fusion without an activation code. I uninstalled VMware and reinstalled, restarted the process, do not put in the Win7 activation code and everything was fine... except now, there is no Windows activation request. I've searched and anywhere to click on a link to activate Windows, or indeed could not find a place to write in the activation key.

  What is happening with this?

  Ron

  Windows installation without a product key is convenient to have more options to activate Windows later.  Don't worry, Windows will "ask" you activate in the near future, but if you are willing to 'true' then go to properties of the icon of the computer and at the bottom you will see the activation state and you can change/enter your product key.

  Is there an explanation of "Toshiba"?

  Hi mate

  First of all, it seems that it of not clear to you that it is a user to user forum
  You can start a discussion with users of common Toshiba laptops

  Return to your ad;
  To be honest it of not clear to me that you are talking about or what the problem

  You are trying to update Vista to Win 7?
  Well, please note that there are some applications which could not be supported by Win 7!

• The upgrade from XP - Pro 32-bit to Windows 7 Pro questions

  I'm working on a T3400 precision with XP Professional. I believe that when it was purchased in January 2010, it's a PC running Windows 7 Pro and he ordered with an installed XP Professional downgrade. The sticker on the Tower Microsoft says Windows 7 Pro.

  In any case, it is on the "Compatible with Windows 7" list of Dell, but I'm under Windows 7 Upgrade advisor to check that there is no problem. (It worked for at least 3 hours now...) We did no change of material from the purchase - just different programs.

  I read the guide from Microsoft for the upgrade & I understand I have to perform a custom Setup out of the upgrade disc. Which means reinstalling all my programs. Which is a pain but nothing I can't handle most of my programs. Except that I am concerned about programs that was already installed on the PC by Dell. Namely my Adobe Acrobat & Microsoft Office 2007 programs. Did I lose those? Or I'll be able to download & reinstall the wrench off the Microsoft sticker on my tour?

  We have not bought a disc yet. I guess that we need Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc. Anything else I should know?

  In the United States, you can request a Dell installation disk:

  support.Dell.com/.../backupcd_form

  Alternatively, you can also install using retail media, then activate by phone from Microsoft (not Dell) using the product on your COA key:

  www.heidoc.NET/.../14-Windows-7-direct-download-links

  In regards to Adobe and office... you should have received license for those cards.  If you have lost, you can probably recover with Magic Jelly Bean or similar, get support for retail, then activate using the keys.

• Satellite U400-15B - noisy fan after Toshiba WIndows 7 upgrade

  Hello world

  Question 1:
  Last week, I got my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD from Toshiba. I'm leaving has upgrade and after 5 hours, the upgrade was complete. I have encountered a problem that the automated driver installed on the endgame wrong on the update of the BIOS because it is trying to write the backup file of the BIOS on the DVD. After a lot of pressure on the keys, I managed to get the installation to carry and then did the BIOS manually updated later. This succeeded and it updated to V4.80.

  Since the update of the BIOS, the fan noise is much stronger. I noticed it's from the fan that is to the right of the envelope, I guess it is the CPU fan. The fan that blows air on the left side of aeration wors as usual. Any suggestions? Should I get the BIOS, if so, how can I restore from the file BIOS.bak WinPHlash is?

  Question 2:
  The Upgrade of Windows 7 Toshiba DVD, I am able to do a new install of Windows 7, IE not need to upgrade to Vista?

  Question 3:
  On the upgrade DVD Toshiab is automatically installs the drivers required after the upgrade to WIndows 7. He had 22 things to do on my own. Does anyone know how to get the list of the required drivers for this laptop that the upgrade DVD refers to?

  Thank you very much for your time in reading this.

  Have you tried to change method parameters in Toshiba's energy-saving cooling?
  Change it to optimized battery.
  It has reduced the activity of fan on my A300.

  You can find it in the advanced power settings.

• Where's my Windows 7 upgrade Kit?

  Hello

  I ordered my Kit to upgrade to Windows 7 in February
  and still can not get it

  I tried to e-mail sent to [email protected]

  but no more of this service is not available

  Web site: www.toshibawin7upgrade.com does not work.

  So I have a few questions:

  Where is my Windows 7 upgrade Kit and why they get my money back and is unable to make a delivery to my home in the Ukraine?

  Hi Buff

  I'm sorry to hear you are still waiting for order upgrade kit.
  You will not be happy with my comment, but I must say that it is user forum and no one here will be able to offer you help or answer your question.

  Try to contact Toshiba s hotline in your country and ask for help. Maybe they can help you with that.
  If you have received a confirmation e-mail from Toshiba try also to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider. They have good contacts to Toshiba and I hope they can help you about this.

  In any case, I hope it will be get classified as update kit soon.

  Hello!

  To be honest it's a little hard to understand your question.

  What exactly is your problem? I think you want to register on the site to upgrade to Windows 7.
  I n t have experience with this because I didn t buy such a phone compatible update yet, but I think that you need the serial number and the model number of the laptop. The two pieces of information you can find on the underside of the laptop.

  Don t forget that this upgrade option is available for laptop purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.

  Good bye

• Windows 7 upgrade advisor, program compatibility HP Media

  owner of an HP dv6-1245dx. Always running vista, upgrade to 7 soon.

  I downloaded the windows Upgrade Advisor 7, I ran the program. 3 mistakes come in saying I have the version of the HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV program

  I click on him "click here to get a compatiable version," programs.

  1. I click on HP Media Smart DVD, it takes me to a page where it wants me to download a version for HP touchsmart... but I do not have an HP smart touch, I a dv6 (wrong product).

  2. I click on the HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, which brings me to random about the software with no upgrade or products page

  3. I click on th HP Media TV, I see that he wants me to download an older version of the program.

  so I download, install, restart my computer, run the Upgrade Advisor, hoping to see that there are 2 errors, but NO, the HP mediaSmart TV said it must still be fixed... which I just did again!

  Basically the first link go to a page of bad product, and the second link sent me to a random page that talks about program and it does not recognize that I just fixed one of the questions that he told me to fix.

  Can you guys help out me?

  What are the program version compatiability of HP Media Smart DVD, HP MediaSmart Music/video/Photo, HP Media TV, which will allow me to level to windows 7 safely?

  Hello

  Windows 7 upgrade advisor is not so smart as you think. It showes sometimes bad results.

  According to this document from HP to down:

  The upgrade to Windows 7

  Question:

  Unable to uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD in Windows 7.

  Fix or workaround:

  Uninstall MediaSmart DVD before the upgrade to Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows 7, install the compatible version Windows 7 HP MediaSmart DVD the DVD Upgrade Wizard at level HP or www.hp.com/support .

  Which means then you just uninstall HP MediaSmart DVD before upgrade.

  When you're after update just install all of the latest software for MediaSmart and everything should be ok.

  Hello cdrudd, welcome.

  We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

  1. connect an external drive or flash drive
  2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
  3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
  4 choose "Command Prompt"
  5. type the following command:

  CD c:

  | Come in

  users of CD

  | Come in

  dir

  | Come in

  From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

  copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

  | Come in

  * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

  Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

  copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

  You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.

  Let us know if you have a copy of your user data backup job. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  Thank you!

• Windows 7 upgrade from vista boots without icons or bar spots and can't access the Task Manager.

  New computer was installed with Vista and came with the Windows 7 upgrade when it was released. The dealer did the upgrade. Now, when I boot, I have no icons or taskbar and doesn't get to the Task Manager to start explorer.exe.
  After killing the power I can restart which can sometimes. Once the computer is in place, it works OK.
  I don't know if I can do a repair of win7 or not?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions. CIE

  Did you take the computer back to the retailer under your warranty?
