  Hello

  I just installed windows on my Satellite C660 - 162 PSCOSE 8 and I want to know if it is compatible with my Toshiba model, because I heard that windows 8 may damage the computer if it is not compatible with it

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In my opinion these should ask themselves before Win8 installed. More info about Win8 instalation on Toshiba laptops, you can read on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8-message/
  There you can check the support for your laptop model > Toshiba matrix compatibility. Check it out.
  >... I heard that windows 8 may damage the computer if it is not compatible with it
  I don't know what kind of damage you hear, but in General, you can install any OS and check if and how it works.

  The only thing that will be damaged is HARD drive recovery option, so I hope that you created the recovery disc until you have installed the Win8 version.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  Hi all

  I have a serious problem in my satellite C660-1EL, I bought it for two weeks, I received free back and I installed WIN 7 Ultimate.

  The problem is when I put on day of win 7 using auto. Update and installing these updates the notebook suddenly stopped. When I turn it on again it gave me a blue screen with the message "{color: #ff0000} {color} irql_not_less_or_equal" during boot.

  I tried more time with safe mode, but still give me a blue screen before the victory. the startup.

  I tried to install the new system using the CD original WINDOWS 7, but before the installation of the files are extracted, the bluescreen reappear.

  I checked the RAM, HD, CD/DVD, in another laptop and it worked fine.

  Also I tried to install WIN 7 using USB flash boot and Win XP PRO on CD, but still the same blue screen appears before the configuration copy victory. files.

  Please help me, this notebook is brand new.

  {color: #ff0000} Note {color}:

  {color: #ff0000} Sorry for my language {color}.

  Hey,.

  The problem could be related to RAM modules as Timox wrote. You can test the modules of RAM with Memtest86. Which is a freeware software to test the memory modules live. If you do a Google search, you can find it. You must create a boot disk and if you start from that you can test the modules.

  In General, there should be no problem to install Windows 7 on Satellite C660. If you have problems (blue screen), it could be a malfunction of the equipment. An authorized service provider can help you to repair the computer.

• Satellite C660-1R1 - recover Windows 7 product key

  Dear Toshiba support,

  My Toshiba Satellite C660-1R1 bought in 2011. By the end of 2013, the original HARD drive died and I replaced it with an SSD. That said, I can't start the recovery with the original Windows 7 installation partition, or I can retrieve the product key from the registry. In addition, the sticker of the product key on the back of the laptop is almost unreadable. I read only a few letters.

  Is it possible for the support of Toshiba recover my Windows 7 Home product key based on the serial number and other details? I can send the whole of the back of my laptop with two stickers to the evidence.

  Thanks for any help.
  Marcin

  Hi marcinziel
  You are lucky to have a product key sticker (COA).
  Some people have had success with the digitization of the AOC and using software to improve the image.
  This year I bought a R50 Pro of the Satellite with Windows 7 pro and I can't find a sticker (COA) about it.
  Toshiba help you with your product key problem?
  I'm still waiting for a response from Toshiba.

  Hey,.

  I agree with BobRock_1. All the drivers and tools that you can find on the official website of Toshiba. Your model is compatible with Windows XP. :-)

  But before starting with the installation of the drivers, I recommend the installation of Service Pack 3 for XP. It contains many security updates and also two patches for the sound card you need. Otherwise, you are not able to install audio driver properly.

  You can download SP3 from Microsoft's official website. The installation is no problem, everything is done automatically. :)

• Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

  I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

  I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

  What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Luke

  PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

  The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
  Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

  Thanks for your help

  Hi wencman,

  It is important to know if you can get all the drivers for your model laptop and Windows XP. This should be checked on the official page of Toshiba:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Satellite C660-12R belongs to the PSC0QE series and as you can see all the drivers for Windows XP are available so to install XP should be no problem. You can download the drivers official and pre-tested. :)

• Satellite C660-2KW - upgrade to Windows 10?

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-2KW.
  I would like to know if it is possible to do the upgrade for the Windows 10.

  If this isn't the case, when will be possible to do?

  In case of not being possible to upgrade, what are 'problems / risks in the upgrade for the Windows 10?

  Thank you very much.

  Concerning

  You old enough laptop model, and it will be not supported for Win10.
  I assume that you have created the backup recovery (recovery support) so you can test your laptop and install Win10 to see how it works.
  I don't know if you can have some big problems, but what can happen is that the sound will not work correctly.

  I have no older Toshiba notebook and Win10 has been successfully installed. Everything works fine except the sound.

  Test it. Play a little with it. If you are not happy with it, you can return to the original operating system whenever you want.

• Satellite C660 - 23 M Windows 7 hard disk error

  I've only had my laptop (Satellite C660 - 23M) for three months, I started to have problems with him about a week earlier, including a time Blue Screen of Death, but I got the computer Safe Mode and did a system restored and it has been fine since then. Then earlier today, I had a Windows hard drive error, telling me to back-up and then repair or replace the hard drive. The back-up goes on an external hard drive as we speak, so fingers crosssed I can't stand to lose all my data.

  I created a disk backup media when I got to the laptop but every time I tried with validation, it would fail, but in time, I don't think I should be so little time, just so created a non-validated copy and thought that would be nice (I'm now concerned!).

  Should I restore my hard drive? If so, how? What has caused this? And because it is only 3 months old, am I stuck with a laptop to duff who will continue to break down on me?

  Hello

  In your case, I would recommend to check the capacity of the HARD drive.
  This can be done using the freeware tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Utility.
  I guess that this software can help detect HARD drive errors.

  If the HARD drive would be affected, then you need to replace the HARD drive.
  Here you will find a nice instruction how to do this:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=138

  the laptop seems to be covered by the warranty, if the HARD drive can be replaced under term average conditions, this can be done free of charge
  I would recommend asking the ASP (partner in your country) for this HARD drive they could send you this HDD.

• Satellite C660 - Windows 7 64 bit BSOD after upgrade RAM

  Hi guys

  my laptop Specs: Satellite C660-1JG
  -Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
  -Intel® Celeron® Processor T3500
  -2048 MB of RAM DDR3 (800 MHz).

  recently I increase my RAM to 4 GB (2 + 2 GB), since its installation, as soon windows7 64 bit beginning of loading, finished with BSOD. load BSOD Windows sometimes very well, but in a minute or two appears. I can confirm that it does not read the total RAM of 4 GB, I checked while the laptop was about 2 to 3 minutes ON. then I go out 1 RAM stick laptop is fine, no BSOD!

  so question raises if the RAM is at fault, incompatibility etc, but I have the dual boot OS and other OS is Ubuntu 11. who reads the 3.84 GB RAM and without crashing or BSOD or any question.

  Then I installed Windos 7 32 bit to see if that still has problems with 4 GB of RAM, but NO, 32 bit reads RAM 4 GB (usable 2.8 GB). without crashing or BSOD with 32, only problem with windows 64-bit version!
  I checked the specification it says Max RAM 4 GB Ram and yes it supports 4 GB RAM with Linux and win7 32-bit.

  I tried to update BIOS version 1.20 (currently on 1.40), but still got error: Firmware has no support of Flash (AFUWINGUI).
  I was wondering if any of you can guide me to the right direction.
  Thanks in advance
  Concerning

  I can't say for sure, but perhaps BSOD due to a compatibility issue.
  What RAM you bought as add-on (brand and specification)?

• Is it safe to upgrade Satellite C660 / 660D to 10 Windows

  I want to upgrade to Windows 10, my laptop is aproximidly 2 years.
  I have a toshiba satellite C660/660D. My question is; I can do it, I have to get new driverpack for it, where can I get those or Windows will find itself?
  Is anyone here who has the same laptop as mine and the upgrade? Will you tell me if this is satisfactory, but it works correctly?

  I did the upgrade on my own as soon as it became available. I found this worked OK but was a bit disappointed by the absence of perfprmance speedor. One of the options for you is to create a 10 disk DVD set windpws I did. Then I did a new install of windows 10 and reloaded all my programs. This has a portable work much better.
  According the information I read you need to do the first updated Microsoft then will issue a license that is kept on servers that is unique to your machine. When do you it a re - install it is not necessary to enter a license during the installation key, simply skip this step.

  Windows 10 rauns well on this laptop I have not had any problems with other than the card reader drivers, but googling found a driver that works now, unfortunately I don't remember where I found it sorry. I think the driver of Windows 8 was one I used.

  In November there was a big update, I had problems with. The installation of it was causing my laptop overheating and automatic stop before finishing. I have overheating problems on this machine despite disassemble and clean and replace the thermal paste on the processor.

  I had to make a new record to Win 10 installation updated on another PC and use it to update the Toshiba, but it was still close during the update and came near close.

  Win 10 works very well and starts quickly, although I have replace the hard drive under Win 7 for one SSD due to the failure of the hard drive, which will account for some of the performance...

  I, like others, do not like everything, about 10, but it does not work on the C660 - 1 7 I own

• Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

  Hello
  I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1CN PSC0QE.

  Touchpad do not start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
  All the drivers are up to date.
  BIOS - lastest.

  After logon, I need to click on * double * "FN + F9" and after it is OK until the next reboot.

  I tried:
  several drivers of Synaptics - no change.
  Reinstall Windows - no change.
  Mini Windows XP Hiren - no work.
  Default BIOS - no change

  After that I installed 'toshiba value added package' I can't turn on the touch pad at all.

  To be honest, I never heard the show. According to specification for laptop, your laptop came with Win7 home premium 64-bit. With factory settings touchpad should be activated after the OS has started.
  I can read you have reinstalled Windows. Have you reinstalled with the original recovery image and tested with factory settings?
