Can't install windows 7 on Satellite C75D-B7260

Can't install windows 7 pro on Satellite C75D-B7260  I have tried a clean install and have tried through windows 8 pro.  Win 7 won't get past start screen.  I have secure boot turned off in BIOS and there is no CMS or legacy setting.  System bios version is 1.20 and ec version is 1.10  Toshiba service station does not find an update for the BIOS. and only 1.10 is listed on the product page.  I found a 1.30(
BIOS version 1.30 for Satellite C7x-B/L7x-B/S7x-B (PSCL4x/PSKRLx/PSPP2x/PSPP4x/PSCNUx

You can install Windows 7 if you like. But I doubt you'll ever locate enough of the drivers and utilities to make that laptop work as designed. Toshiba certainly did not create them.
If you have no end of time to burn hunting for those and don't mind some features missing, here's how to install Windows 7.  The disk now uses GPT partitioning, but you want the old MBR partitions. So use the installation package to remove all the existing partitions and create new ones (one is sufficient).

  • Can I install Windows 7 on a Satellite C855-1WR?

    I've made a BIG mistake! After having Satellite's for years, I recently bought a C885-1WR but didn't notice it came with Windows 8.....and I HATE it :(
    Can I install Windows 7 on this machine?
    If so, how do I do this, please?
    I have very little technical knowledge, so easy answers please.
    I would be eternally grateful for any help.
    Thank you so much
    Polly

    Of course you can do that.
    You can install Win 7 if you want.
    Firstly you have to go to BIOS (press F2 while booting)
    In BIOS disable secure boot and switch from UEFI mode to CSM mode.
    Save the changes and now you could boot from the Win 7 disk and could start the installation.
    But just one important note: read you user manual and create the recovery disk BEFORE installing anything on the notebook. The recovery disk help you to go back to Win 8 in cases you would like to use it again!

  • Can't install windows XP on Satellite Pro A200-1N2

    hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. i downgraded the bios to V5.30 But still can't install windows xp and from the bios still there is no optin for SATA.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Did you install the SATA drivers firstly?
    You need this driver to recognize the HDD!
    You should download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it either on the Toshiba driver page or on the Intel website.
    You must perform the installation from an external USB FDD drive using the F6 button while the Win XP setup.

  • Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P

    Can I install Windows XP on a Satellite A300D-14P?
    ...thx for any info and/or help...

    Hello
    Just to clarify something:
    - if you want to install WXP but not changing BIOS settings (leave it to AHCI mode) at the beginning of installations procedure you must load SATA driver pressing F6. Thats only way to install WXP successfully
    - you can install WXP without SATA driver but you must change the settings to Compatibility. Everything will work well but if you change the settings to ACHI back you will get BSOD every time when you try to start WXP
    If you want to install SATA driver please install WXP using SATA driver before the WXP installation starts.

  • Satellite Pro S300L - Can I install Windows 7?

    Can I install windows 7 on my Satalite pro s300L if so which version 32 or 64 Bit?

    Hello
    First of all you can install what you want.
    Why?
    Its your notebook and you can do what you want with it! ;)
    In my opinion its depending on the RAM which version you should install If you use 4GB or more RAM, choose the 64bit version. Otherwise 32bit is enough and therefore you can get all drivers here:

  • Can't Install Windows 7, Broken Screen

    I need to install Windows 7 due to registry and app problems, and I like 7 more than 8.1 I have created a 7 DVD, but the problem is: I have a cracked internal screen. I can not see anything on my laptop screen except random colors and the crack, so I can not use the BIOS/UEFI. I have not found any way to force the display to my external monitor prior to "Please Wait">Login screen. I have tried around 5 key combinations, I have changed the display setting to "second screen only", I've tried the Detect Monitor thing. There is NOTHING I can find online to fix this, including on Google and YouTube. My model has both an HDMI and a VGA port, but I've never been able to get either of them to display prior to "Please Wait">Login screen. I can not afford to fix my screen right now, and it's not that huge of a priority right now since I can just use an external monitor. Can anyone provide some help? Thanks in advance.
    Tried:F5, Fn+F5F4, Fn+F4F12, Fn+F12F2, Fn+F2F10, Fn+F10 Changed display setting to "Second Screen Only" (works during and after "Please Wait">Login screen, never before) Monitor symbol is on F4, for what it's worth. I have tried both holding and repeatedly tapping these key combinations.

    How Can I Install Windows 8.1 Enterprise on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi Armin.S,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are asking about the system requirements for running various versions of Windows under Bootcamp, or just more generally how to set up Bootcamp on your Mac, you may find the following articles/pages helpful:

  • How can i install windows games in my macbook pro

    I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.

    As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
    As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS.

  • How can I install windows 8 on a mac without superdrive?

    Hi there.
    I have an old Macbook pro (early 2007) which is still quite good, except from the superdrive which got broken.
    I would like to completely wipe out OSX (Lion) from that and install Windows 8 instead.
    Problem is, I cannot install it from optical drive, since it's broken (and plus, I don't have access to an external drive).
    Is it even possible to install windows 8 from USB on this computer? If so, what should I do?
    Thank you!

    You can only install Windows from an external disc drive or an USB drive in one of these computers:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - MacBook Air.
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
    As you don't have any of these computers, you need the SuperDrive to install Windows 8. In your case, you have to install a SuperDrive in your MacBook Pro in order to install Windows by using Boot Camp

  • I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

    I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
    Please help? tagjsmith.

    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

  • LaserJet 2550n network printer on XP host PC, can't install Windows 7 client laptop

    Have Color LaserJet 2550n network printer connected to XP host PC. I can't install  Windows 7 client laptop for printer. The wireless network is fine, I can access documents back and forth, merely the printer doesn't work and there's no way to download 64bit drivers for this printer from HP. 

    Resolved, not solved. 
    I talked to HP product support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the Home Edition) when networked through a router. It will install through USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with only USB connected to clean out all the network printer/scanner information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and computer but this does little good if you need internet access.

  • Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

    Hey guys and girls...
    Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

    WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
    Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
    Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
    Or run the install from Windows 7.
    In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
    Main idea is to have some network attached drives.

    I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
    It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
    Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
    I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).
