Going to have a clean win 10 install
I have understood that I have to do an upgrade from my win 7 premium home to have a free win 10 license. Thereafter I can find a full win 10 and do the clean install, but I wonder have win 10 all hardware program/drivers for my pavillion?
Re my last post; what I ment is this: Is there a package / set up with all HP-programs I should use after formatting the hard drive and before a clean install with win 10?

I'm Going To Have A New Hard Drive Installed (500GB)
Hi...
I’m going to have a 500GB hard drive installed (highest available so far - from what I know) in my MacBook Pro (bought March 2008) 17inch. I was wondering if there is anything I should pay attention to? And I’m going to go with a clean install (not to have the hard drive cloned over) - after I get it home, I’ll put the OS in myself and then all my other software etc... But what cross’s my mind is my “iTunes”...
What’s going to happen to my iTunes - and what can I do to keep all my songs and stuff?
Any comments, suggestions and opinions are welcome....
Thank you in advance...No..... Your right - it just takes time for things to sink in - putting together a software program along with a “case” that will make my removed hard drive act like an external hard drive takes time to sink in.
Is this right? Am I going to have a new empty hard drive in the laptop with my removed hard drive in a case, enabling it to be used as an external hard drive? If so, then were dose the software go?
Do I need to download it first to the (soon to be removed) hard drive? And then access it when it becomes an external hard drive?
But the whole issue might be irrelevant because I really want to do a new install of my OS - I’ve been through the wringer with screen sharing and other products that have come and gone (passwords, screen names, ID’s, emails) MobileMe, Time Capsule, iWeb, BlueTooth, In home networks, Skype, iChat, AIM, Bonjour.... My head is spinning... Because my iMac and laptop are all using my one email (or at least at first they were) and one password and one email (sounds simple) but it’s not... If you wanna talk to someone using my iMac while I’m out and about in town - the computer’s think your trying to talk to yourself, the same email address (same passwords etc) - and in a lot of situations, you run into trouble trying to do this - or at least - you get confused (is that my email for the iMac or is that the email for my laptop - system preference this, system preference that)...
I’m even ready, willing and able to forget about the songs on my iTune just to have a clean install (but that’s just between you and me)...
So in closing - as long as that removed hard drive can be used as an external hard drive with the use of a “case” then I’m good to go... I’ll take it from there....
But please let me know if I can not use my soon to be “removed” hard drive as an external hard drive... Then I’m (maybe) willing to forget about my iTune’s... (I don’t know - I’ll see).... -
Error message when running HD-DVD player after clean win 7 install on P205-S6347
On a P205-S6347, did clean win 7 ultimate install with toshiba instructions and loadup software downloaded from toshiba support. On first dvd player install of latesed full player, got a video eror. Installed latets patch, now I get "An error has occured in the audio output settings. Please check thet the sound driver is set up properly" The sound playes fine for all other programs/utilities. Note, I am running USB powered Logitec external speakers. I have tried to follow all the recomendations of others with this problem, yet nothng works, unless I'm not using the right software, yet I only use whats on the site for the model and OS. The reason that I want to use this OEM player is that I havent found a comparable player that does just that, playes DVD's like a home unit, complete with menu access as a physical player would and that the moving cursers only seem to work with the Toshiba player, whereas others like VLC and Kantaris will only show one moving curser on a menue and I have to guess where the next one is to slick it to start, and Real Player isnt any better either. Other problems I've had with other players are that the graphics seem a bit hazy sometimes, I never have that problem with the Toshiba player. Also, others have way to many bells and whistles, I only want a player that works doing that specific job. I wish Toshiba would package a universal player that could be installed with all that it needs to run itself. Any Ideas folks?
Try to use the command ipconfig /renew in the cms (command dos box)
Also try this:
Control Panel > Administration Tools > Computer Management > Services & Applications > Services.
Scroll down this list to find 'WLAN Auto Config'
Double click on 'WLAN Auto Config' On the general tab, select from the start up type drop down menu, select 'Automatic'. Under Service Status click on 'Start'. Then 'Apply' these settings and exit from all open control panel windows.
Otherwise uninstall the Realtek driver in the device manager.
Then reboot the notebook.
Download the Realtek WLan driver again and install it. -
I currently have a Bootcamp partition (30 Gb or so) running XP pro. I want to switch to Win 7, which I understand requires a clean install since there is no upgrade path from XP directly to Win7. While doing so I want to increase the size of my BC partition. (I'm offloading iTunes and iPhoto to external drives and freeing up 60+ Gb so I can make a bigger partition)
Do I just run Bootcamp Assistant and do the deed as if I were starting from scratch, but specify a larger partition?
The full scenario is that I have an HP laptop running Win7, and XP pro in Bootcamp. I want to swap them. Any advice on the process? Activate/Deactivate/Reactivate dance. I realize this is a Windows question, but someone may have done this before.
Thanks for any help.contrary to kappy, you can buy and use CampTune to resize.
you can't use a HP install on Mac.
you need a retail Win7 to activate on a different motherboard.
Start from scratch. Anything else is likely to have problems. -
I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Problem is that there are rest of installations. I uninstalled all iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apples components, but problem goes on. I run WIN XP SP 3 32 BITS. I accept ideas to solve, thanks.
A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I have read various threads on installing Win XP on my iMac
Hi All
I have read various threads on installing Win XP on my iMac, i have tried on 2 seperate ocations to install win XP Pro on the partition created by bootcamp but in each instance the install failed. I get to the part of the installation where you select the partition to install win xp and when i select that partition i get partition not recognised please click enter to go back and choose a different partition.
To get the install to accept the partition i need to reformat it, and after doing this when the computer reboots it says please choose any key to boot from cd but in doing so the install starts all over again, or if i don't press a key and let the installation continue as i would on a normal pc the computer just freezes and the installation fails.
The couple of times i have tried this i have ended up reinstalling my mac os again, i don't want to go through all this again so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Does your Win XP CD have Service Pack 2 on it? You cannot install the original Windows XP or Service Pack 1. You must install Service Pack 2 (or later). See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306580
If this is your issue, search these forums (all dates) for "Slipstreaming" to learn how to convert your CD plus a blank CD into a Win XP SP2 disk.
I tried slipstreaming following the instructions I found on this forum, with no luck. It didn't recognize it as any kind of Windows install disk. -
When trying to print, adobe reader 11.0.07 keeps "Not responding" for 2 - 5 minutes before finally working? I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but same problem. What is going on? I have windows 7
First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

I just bought a used macbook and its been completely updated, but I cant find imovie on it. Some of the other iLife appliations are already installed onto the computer though, am I going to have to buy imovie from the app store?
iMovie is not part of iLife anymore. If you want iMovie you will have to purchase a boxed set iLife '09 or '11 that comes on DVD. It's not available in the App Store. You will find boxed sets of iLife via Google and Amazon.

I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iphoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Please help - am terrified I've lost my photos as they weren't all backed up.
Pogs78,
first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro. -
I have a Pc with windows vista. I have safari 5.1.7 installed. I want to know if there is an upgrade for safari. I heard about version 6 and 7.
Since Safari for Windows is a little old now. some things may no longer display properly if the website creator moves to newer technologies not supported on older browsers. You are likely to see this in more and more sites as they update themselves.
I suggest using a more modern browser. -
Screen Goes Blank, Hard Drive Stuck, Cannot Re-Install, or recover
I have somewhat a bizzar problem that even with several years of IT experience I seam not to be able to figure it out. I thought I toss it our here at Toshiba community in hopes of people's collective experience shedding some lights on my problem.
I hava a 3 year old Toshiba Sattellite A305D with updated BIOS to version 2.10. It came with Windows Vista Home 32bit and I had upgraded it to Windows 7 64-bit last Christmas. It was working fine till last month that I started getting sporadic blank screens. Here is the symptome with details: screen goes blank, backlight it on, but there is no content on screen. At this time the Hard Disk Drive activity light is steady lit. Initially the problem happened intermitently and sometimes it fixed itself after few minutes and screen would come back on, but when it started to happen more often, I started to look for some troubleshooting. Some people suggested that blank screen could be due to bad lid close button being stuck or Windows power management's CPU power being set to 5%. I have tried cleaning the lid button and fixing power management but no luck. Then, I tried re-installing Windows from DVD, screen never went blank till after the first few steps of setup to the point that it says "Extracting Windows Files". At this time I started to think this is a hardware issue. I took out the RAM, I installed it on my MacBook Pro and used it for few days, and I had no problem. I even diagnosed them with Windows Memory Checker in the list of Recovery Options and no problem was detected. So, the next suspecious thing was the video card or display inverter. I tried connecting the laptop to an external monitor to test the screen's inverter, and same thing happened and external monitor went blank. I used Windows Recovery options and left it on that screen over night and nothing happened so I concluded the video card is fine. Next, I had turned off the Wifi and Lan, but nothing seamed to change, so I concluded those are OK as well. My last coclusion was that the hard drive is bad. I took the drive out and coonected it to my Desktop PC and ran disk utiility scan to check for bad sectors and none was detected. So, I thought the drive might be totally broken. I went to local electronics store and bought a brand new HITACHI SATA II drive and installed it. At first same thing happened so I gave up. Since I didn't have the recovery disks, I ordered recovery disks from Toshiba and tried that. Save thing happend and as soon as it started copying files, it blanked out. OK. So this time I ran a different recovery option and formatted the entire hard disk and zeroed out all sectors. That took approximately 3 days to finish for a 500GB brand new hard drive. Seams a long time.After that I could install Windows 7 64-bit from scratch up to the end. However, things got gorry again when I started installing Updates and driver packages. I had read about some problems with ATI drivers and Catalyst software with .NET updates, so I did not install any driver from update site and made sure all .NET updates are installed. I had to install the updates slowly chosing a few at a time. Otherwise same thing would happen. I got stuck to the point that I could not update anything. Windows files seamed to be corrupt and turning on/off Windows Features in controll panel was blank, so I had to re-install again. I did Re-install successfully using the upgrade option. This time I installed .NET updates first before any other updates. Then I started downloading all Toshiba drivers. Aazingly, the laptop worked for few ours without the symptom. I managed to install most of the drivers and updates including Value Added Package, HDD/DVD Rom Patch, Registry Patch, Sound, Modem, Atheros Wireless, and Catalyst. Up till now things were ok. Then I ran Toshiba Hardware update patch, and things got really messed up. Windows never booted again and symptoms showed right after boot tried to load WIndows. I tried recovery options but System restore kept getting errors too and I could not restore any more. Since Windows 7 Install and Windows Vistal recovery to Factory Default from recovery disk did not work, I thought maybe I should try Windows XP. So, I got a hold of my old Windows XP CD-ROM and I took a stab at it. Everything went fine till it started to copy windows files. This time symptom was different. I got one of those XP Blue Screen of deaths saying Hard Drive is bad and I must run chdsk /F. So, I concluded HDD is the problem. Ran CHDSK and no problem. I formated the drive again using DISKPART and the problem still exists. This is a brand new hard drive. What is the problem?Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop. "A305D" is only partial.
That's quite the problem. How often was it doing this? At some steps in your diagnosing, it seemed to get better, but I wonder if it was actually (temporarily) fixed, or if it didn't occur by chance.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you. Normally I'd suggest you get it serviced, but then you'd also be throwing more money at a three year old notebook when clearly you're knowledgeable yourself.
Hopefully someone in the community will have some suggestions. I have noticed that some people shy away from posts with large paragraphs of text. (I'm not saying that's correct, but it happens.) I'd suggest putting some bullet points at the top summarizing. If you feel like doing that, you can edit your message.
Good luck!

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes. What next? I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.
I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer. I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours. They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways. Each install gave the same problem! If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble. They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution. I am waiting and hoping. Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.
I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.
Seems a common problem.
What OS are you using, Windows 8 64 bit or something? Win 8 has an embedded Flash Player on it, and I have been told here that if this is the case, installing a new version of Flash Player is not necessary, but Fire Fox needs the plug in. They came out with a Flash Player plug in for use with Fire Fox that includes a debugger, but I have not tried it yet. (see below).
I have tried installing Flash Player 11.8.800.994 and 11.7.70.224...... and all crash. I think maybe some anti virus software needs to be disabled to allow installation, or the anti virus thinks its malware. I am also not sure if I need to also install Shockwave Flash for the whole thing to work?
Not sure the following will help and I am about to try it because I am going round in circles, too.
If 11.7 extended support release works for you, would you please update your success by adding a reply at the bottom of your original post, and let us know what you did that worked?
Good luck!
Announcement: Attention: Please read for important changes to Flash Player 10.3

Beginning July 9th, 2013 we will be updating the version of our "extended support release" from Flash Player 10.3 to Flash Player 11.7 for Mac and Windows.
