Dual boot on Toshiba Satellite L855-S5372

Hi, I am trying to dual boot Windows 7 on my Toshiba. When I put the CD in with Windows 7, it won't install even though I went into the BIOS and set the boot option to boot from DVD first.
What are the steps for me to dual boot Windows 7 with Windows 8? I have already assigned a drive and some space to install Windows 7 on?
It doesn't function like my previous laptop.
I would appreciate the steps.
Thanks,

Jeremy, Microsoft's dual boot is not automatically set up when you install an earlier version of Windows.
Not only that, but the partitioning of machines with Windows 8 preinstalled is not compatible with the Windows 7 installation package.
I recommend you don't go this way.

Dual boot up on Satellite L300-144 series

Hi
Got a new Satellite L300 144 series laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium.
Is it possible to install Windows XP and have dual boot up options?
Are there any hardware constrains?
What additional drivers would be required during setup of WXP?
What would be the steps involved or if there is already a solution posted can you point it out for me. Thanks.
diwang

At first it is important to say that WXp is supported for this notebook model and on Toshiba support page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads you can find WXP drivers.
It is also important to say that recovery image (DVD version) can not be installed on second partition and at first you should install original Toshiba Vista OS. Use option to create separate partition for Vista installation. At the beginning of recovery procedure enter SETUP option and choose how big the first partition should be. If I am remembering well it is in percent.
After Vista installation you must install WXP. Of course on second partition. For WXP installation please use WXP with integrated SP2. When installation starts the HDD will not be recognized properly. For this you need Intel Storage manager. You can find it on Toshiba download page.
When WXP installation starts press F6 to load this. For doing this you need USB FDD.
At the end there is one small problem. after WXP installation you will not be able to start Vista because WXP does not recognized Vista and does not offer boot manager. You must install boot manager that offer you selection between both preinstalled operating systems.
If you install Vista as second OS you will not have this problem because Vista recognize Xp and at start up offer selection between older Microsoft operating system and Vista.
So if you have more questions please write again.
Bye and good luck!

Dual boot issue on Satellite A200 - xp keeps freezing or crashing

Well being trying to install xp along side my Win7 installation (dual boot), but xp keeps freezing or crashing.
Ive made a few slipstream xp discs with sata drivers.
Still wont install proper.
So i tried install win7 on the second partition and that will install but is very slow and hangs for ages.
Im sure i got right sata drivers.(intel matrix storage manager from toshiba).
Can anyone shed some light?
i have toshiba Satellite a200
intel duo t5550

Hi
If you use SATA drivers then the SATA mode option in BIOS should be set to AHCI.
If you dont use SATA drivers then you have to set to compatible mode.
Here a nice description how to add SATA drivers

Audio commonly buzzes and stutters on my Toshiba Satellite L855-S5405

I just upgraded to windows 10 and the audio stutters and buzzes despite using little to no softwares in the background. I disabled the audio enhancements yet I still get stutters and buzzes. Summary

As you can see HERE, your computer is not supported by Toshiba for Windows 10. If you want to stay with Windows 10, you might try going to Realtek's site and see if you can get an audio driver from them that works on Windows 10.

DVD with dual layer on Toshiba Satellite L10?

Hi,
I've bought a Toshiba Satellite L10 recently. How do I know if the DVD burner has got the new dual layer system? It's neither written in the user manual nor on the DVD/ROM drive. There it says: DVD+ReWritable, whereas it says on the DVD I've bought: DVD+R DL. So if there's no "DL" written on my drive does that mean that is does not do dual layer DVDs?
I hope you can help,
Sunflower

Hi,
as far as I know the L10 can have only a CD writer or it has, as Quad says, a DVD Super Multi drive. In your case I think it is the Multi drive, which should be able to use DL.

Dual Boot on Satellite A205-S6808

I tried dual boot on my Satellite A205-S6808. I have installed W7 and I want boot also with XP Pro.The Lap Top does not accept XP Pro.What can be done????
Many thanks in advance.
Lucanio Ramucci

I presume you must load SATA driver before WXP installation starts. Without SATA driver the HDD will not be visible for WXP.
According the notebook specification your notebook has Intel GM965 + Intel ICH8M chipset.
You can try to download this storage manager from http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/stormng-20070827133046.zip
Files from F6flpy > Ich8M_32-bit folder extract to FLOPPY Disc.
When WXP setup starts press F6 and follow the menu on the screen. When necessary load the files using S button.
I hope this will work.
If you don't have floppy disc to load it you can try to create own WXP installations disc using nLite software.
I hope THIS guideline can help you to do this.
I really hope you will have success with dual boot installation.
At the end I must confirm what Jeka wrote. If possible install WXP at first. When you install it as second OS you will not be able to choose between both installed operating systems. Only using BOOT manager you will be able to choose which OS should start. when you install newer OS as second one you will have small menu shown at start-up where you can choose which OS should be loaded.

Satellite L855-124 can't change display brightness after Win 8 upgrade

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L855-124 PSKACE laptop.
After upgrading to Windows 8, I can't change the brightness backlight of the laptop screen.
There seems to be an error in the graphical driver.
When I install the Windows 7 graphical AMD driver under compatibility, it works again but bugs out on other areas.
Anyone have any ideas?
Even after using the upgrade assistant provided by Toshiba it does nothing.
Also the drivers for my laptop are poorly updated. Dating back to 2012.
I have also called tech support, they told me that a driver team will be fixing the issue.
That was 2 months ago.
Is there anyone from Toshiba that can help me with this please?
Thank you.

Satellite L855-14G - Devices are not detected in device manager

I've reinstalled my Satellite L855/L855D (installed windows 7 instead of win 8) . And there is a problem : many devices are not found , like ethernet / wireless. Video card Radeon HD 7670M also not found. I can't install drivers, the errors apears that my hardware isn't suitable with software (e.g chipset). On toshiba's website i typed my satellite's serial number, but my computer isn't found. Whats wrong with this laptop ?
Same problem here: [http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/386506-33-devices-detected-device-manager-format-win7]
What should i do ? i've tried lots of drivers , but no one works. Please , give me advice. Thank you.

I've entered my satellite's specs on that website and installed chipset utility from that website. But when installion beggins, in description is written , that this version chipset utility (9.3.0.1020) supports i7 proccesors (Target Chipset#: Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family). Is this chipset utility suitable with my Intel i5 3210M proccesor ? One more i've tried Display drivers, but setup isn't starting.

Where can I find drivers for Satellite L855-159?

Hello!
I am a recent owner of a brand new Toshiba Satellite L855-159 laptop.
I cannot seem to find any drivers listed for it. i have download some drivers from similar series laptops, like the ethernet driver. That works fine on it, but i cannot seem to find a working wireless driver anywhere.
I have tried the official toshiba page and the toshiba auto detect tool. It says it cannot find my product.
I have also tried entering the serial no. manually and it gives me the same answer.... your product cannot be found or invalid serial no.
(i have tried all versios of toshiba site, in many different languages)
Only time my serial number worked is when i registered the laptop for warranty.
So, i must say that it has been a pain to find the right drivers for my product, and it would not hurt to have a cd/dvd with drivers in the box with the laptop. i know it should be a better solution to have drivers online because you always get the newest version, but a dvd with drivers that always work for your laptop is necessary when the main site FAILS so badly at providing them.
So please tell me... where can i find drivers for my laptop?

Hi
According notebook specification your notebook has part number PSKAEE and all drivers, tools and utilities for supported operating systems you can find on Toshiba support and download page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Product type > Notebook
Family > Satellite
Product series > Satellite L Series
Model > Satellite L855

Can you find it?

Satellite L855-10W - cannot use AMD Dynamic Switchable

Hello every body,
Fistly sorry for my bad english,
I have Toshiba satellite L855-10w with a AMD radeon hd 7670m.
I'm wondering, why i can't use AMD Dynamic Switchable and also why i can't find Intel HD 4000 that must be integrated witch Intel I7 3610qm in my system configuration?
What do you think about this?
Thank you very much

Hi
I read somewhere in the internet that the AMD Dynamic Switchable feature is not supported on Toshiba notebooks.
It seems that only nVidia Optimus Technology (for notebooks with nVidia graphic chip) is supported.

Dual Booting & Recovery Partition

Hi all, I am going to dual-boot Windows 7 and Lubuntu on my Satellite A505-S6009. I am sure some people severely disagree with dual-booting, but this is what I want to do with my machine (my mind is made up). I have installed and used Linux before. I have also done a dual-boot for my NB205, which went smoothly and easily; however, I have a question about dual-booting on my Satellite. If install Lubuntu and have two partitions--one for Lubuntu, one for Windows 7--on my machine, will the machine's recovery partition be deleted? I think I should mention that when I install any OS, I usually go through the "recommended" partitioning process, and not the "advanced." (I have a lot to learn about partitions before I move on to advanced). Thanks, all

Satellite A505-S6009
If install Lubuntu and have two partitions--one for Lubuntu, one for Windows 7--on my machine, will the machine's recovery partition be deleted?
Yes.
Essentially by definition, if you have only two partitions then the others are gone.

Hard drive replacement // Toshiba Satellite l800 series

The 640 GB hard drive has failed in my 2 year old Toshiba Satellite l855-S5210 laptop about 3 months ago, I finally ordered the recovery disks and. I am wondering if I can replace the hard drive with a 750 GB/ 1TB hard drive I found? Does it need to be made by Toshiba or can I put one in made by Segate?
looking at these in particular

Satellite L855-13G - cannot use the Webclaim service

Hello,
I bought a Toshiba Satellite L855-13G (PSKACE-04Y00CFR) in France last year but this computer is already causing me troubles!
The graphic card is making noise, one of the USB port is not working and now, without any software change, the computer shut down after displaying a blue screen with "KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR".
This blue screen comes randomly (let us say about two or three times per day).
I would like to send this computer for reparation but now I discover something very weird: Toshiba has done all the possible to hide L855-13G!
First of all no result on the website:
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=%22l855+13g%22+site:toshiba.com
Second, the model is not listed in the support center:
https://www.toshiba.fr/innovation/generic/SUPPORT_PORTAL/
When I enter the serial number: no result. Also using the "Ou slectionnez votre produit" the model is not listed.
Third, and best, I cannot access the Warranty claim service for a Toshiba product for this computer: when I go on https://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/Webclaim/ and I fill the serial number, the computer is identified (alleluia), I have a green tick for Warranty status and "Your product is still in the warranty period."
But then, I cannot click on next and a mention "Product not available: Unfortunately your product is currently not available" is displayed instead.
So... apparently Toshiba is doing is best in order to forget about the Toshiba Satellite L855-13G but for the persons unlucky enough to have buy one what are the next steps?
I would like to be contacted by someone from Toshiba in order to get an answer, or a proposal to change my computer or at least to repair it!
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards.

> I would like to be contacted by someone from Toshiba in order to get an answer, or a proposal to change my computer or at least to repair it!
First of all I would like to provide you some inforamtions about this community.
This is an user to user community where you could meant Toshiba enthusiasts. You will not find any Toshiba people here
Now some details regarding the notebook fix:
In case your notebooks hardware started to malfunction, you could contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country in order to fix the hardware problems.
Here on this Toshiba ASP page you could find all ASPs available worldwide:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
Last but not least you should know that warranty covers only the hardware problems.
So in case the notebook does not work properly due to some software issues, the warranty would not cover the costs. Therefore I would recommend you to recover the notebook back to factory settings BEFORE you would contact the ASP.
I hope this info helps a little bit.

Satellite S55t-B5233 Shrink disk for dual boot windows 8 and other OS

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite S55t-B5233 Pre-installed with Windows 8.1
I would like to maintain Windows 8 but to dual boot with Windows 7, Ubuntu and OpenSuse, so:
- When I try to Shrink disk C (943371 MB) it says that 'Size of available shrink space in MB = 469651 MB'. The free space in my disk is 885240 MB!
So I would like to know if there is a way to left about 200000 MB for Windows 8? so I could use the rest of space for shrinking for other OS...
- I would instal windows 7, ubuntu and OpenSuse in partitions D, E and F [Partitions that I pretend to create by shrinking C] ... a) does it will void my warrantee? b) does it will render my Windows 8 “Recovery Partition” useless?
thanks in advance...
Gari

Satellite S55t-B5233
I don't recommend you attempt multiple-booting in this new UEFI/GPT world, Gari. Things are more difficult now than they were in the BIOS/MBR world. Best to set up virtual machines using Hyper-V or another free VM to run other OSes.
In answer to your questions,..
a. Toshiba doesn't care what you do with the software. They won't even look at the computer until the drive has been restored to its original out-of-the-box contents.
b. After you mess around with the partition locations, I doubt the recovery partition would be accessible in the normal fashion if at all. Many create a recovery drive and delete the recovery partition first thing.

Dual boot Windows from Toshiba Recovery CD

Is it possible to dual boot Windows from a Toshiba Recovery CD?
I have a Satellite A45-S120 with a Toshiba Windows XP Recovery CD.
I have XP installed on one partition. I partitioned the hard drive using GParted, and installed Linux on several partitions. I want to install XP on a 2nd partition, so I can dual boot 2 versions of Windows from the same hard drive.
When I go to install Windows, the Toshiba Recovery CD says the entire hard drive will be deleted. Is this the case, or will it only reformat a partition? I went into GParted and was able to change the first Windows XP ntfs partition to hidden, and now successfully can not boot Windows from the Grub Boot Manager. However, I worry that if GParted can see the partition, then the Toshiba Recovery CD might be able to. In addition, the Linux ext partitions could not be set to hidden. Will the Toshiba Recovery CD overwrite all the partitions, or can it maybe only install itself on the one ntfs partition available?
I read at http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/193560-install-xp-toshiba-recovery-disk-d.html that there may be a way possible, any advice?
Specs are:
1.26 Ghz Celeron
1.256 GB Ram
40 GB HD

Satellite A45-S120
I want to install XP on a 2nd partition,
So far as I know, that recovery disc will install nothing. It will restore the entire hard drive (master boot record and all) by writing all the bytes that were on the original drive (byte-by-byte).
