How to install Windows XP 64bit on my Qosmio G30-219

Problem.....how to install windows xp 64 on my qosmio G30-219? seems that Toshiba doesn't support it! Or have i missed something?
Help please!!!!

Of course you can install it on the Qosmio G30.
The problem is that you will not find any Toshiba 64bit XP drivers on the Toshiba driver page!!!
Why???
Well, Im not sure why but I presume the Toshiba notebooks were not delivered with 64bit OS and therefore 64bit drivers dont exists.
I assume you cannot install the 64bit XP on the Qosmio because you have not included an RAID driver!!! Am I right?
The RAID driver is need and important to recognize the HDD!!!
You can include it pressing F6 during the windows setup installation procedure
So its one little hint!

    My laptop was shipped with FreeDOS, so I want to install Win 7 64Bit.
    On the setup process, right before selecting the HDD to install Win 7, I m asked to provide drivers (Missing CD/DVD Device Driver Error). I tried AMD sata drivers with no success.
    Thank you
    Well here is the link to the driver for Win7 if your version is EN version.

  • How/Can I install WINDOWS 7 64BIT on a 1st Generation Mac Pro ?

    Hi, Is it possible to install Windows 7 64 bit on a 1st Generation Mac Pro 2.66Ghz? Apple suggests that it's not possible and yet I've seen several Googled posts where the users have successfully installed 64 bit on a 1st Generation Mac Pro. The problem is that they've done this creating a bootable iso disk(whatever that is) using a Windows computer with imgburn and windows commands. I'm pretty good at following instructions but I haven't seen any instructions on how to install Windows 7 on this machine using a Mac based approach.
    I'm using BootCamp and was able to partition the drive into NFTS and "proceed" with installation; however all te installations failed during setup and Windows would not boot; disk repair was not possible. Besides, from what I've gathered, 32 bit is problematic around memory issues.
    When I try installing 64 bits, I never get past the "select cd rom 1or 2" message where the keyboard won't work. It is at this point where others say they have successfully proceeded with moving forward by creating a bootable iso disk.
    Problem is it's all Windows based with exe files and presupposes I already have Windows running.
    I'm not sure I really understand how to create an iso disk, but I do have ROXIO TOAST 10 which is capable of burning "ISO" disks.Does anyone know how to do this and/or can you point me to a place where there are instructions on how to proceed?? While I realize Apple says that some mid 2006 mac pros aren't supported, there are multiple posts of windows users successfully installing Windows 7 on a 1st Generation Mac Pro.
    Thanks.

    I have a March 2009 Mac Pro dual quad core running Win7 Pro 64 bit. I have Windows installed on a dedicated internal hard drive. There are no partitions, the entire drive is for Windows use.
    Here's how I installed it, I did not start with BootCamp. Make sure the drive you're going to use for Windows doesn't have any important files on it because it will be formatted.
    1. Update Snow Leopard
    2. Place the Windows cd in the Super Drive
    3. Shut down the computer
    4. Remove all the hard drives except the one you want Windows installed on. Keep track of the order they are in and at the end replace them in the same order.
    5. Boot the computer holding down the Option key
    6. Boot to the Windows cd
    7. Install Windows and format the drive to NTFS
    8. When Windows needs to restart during installation you'll need to hold the Option key and boot to Windows, not the Windows cd.
    9. After Windows installs, place your Snow Leopard disc in the Super Drive
    10. The Drivers for Windows will be installed along with a Windows version of BootCamp.
    11. Go to Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update
    12. Update again until it's done.
    13. You'll also find a BootCamp under Control Panel, check it out.
    14. Shut down the computer and replace the hard drives in their original order
    14. Now if you turn on the computer it will boot to Snow Leopard, but if you hold the Option key during boot you can select Windows or Mac.

  • How to install Windows 7/Vista as 2nd OS and retain predesktop environment (service partition)

    This is a step-by-step instruction how to install Windows Vista or Windows 7 as a second OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad that originally shipped with Windows XP AND how to retain the access to the Lenovo Service Partition.
    I have been searching the internet for instructions like these but could not find anything useful. So I am posting it
    here. Maybe this helps other users.
    I have tested the procedure below with installation of Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I believe that the procedure will also work with the 32bit versions of these OSs. I am not totally convinced that this works when the OS to install is Windows XP (64bit or 32bit). XP has a completely different boot sequence compared to Vista or 7. The basic steps would remain the same, but the XP setup is less forgiving when it finds an unknown partition. If somebody wants to try it out, please post your results as a reply to this forum entry.
    Never never never try to install an older OS (like Windows 2000 or NT) as a second OS when XP is already installed! This is doomed to fail.
    The procedure below does NOT work for Linux installations. I am not a Linux wizard, but any Linux bootmanager I know about is incompatible with the Lenovo Service Partition.
    The procedure was tested on a Thinkpad R61 model 8918-B9G. It should work similar on other models.
    You definitely need a service partition with Rescue&Recovery version 4. It will NOT work with older versions of R&R or if the service partition is not a type12 partition (see below how to find out about that).
    I assume that the harddisk partitions are unmodified, i.e. still have factory settings. This is likely the case if you
    never attempted any OS install or recovery action. If this is not the case, the procedure may or may not work.
    You also need a bootable CD with a tool that can change the size of your current system partition. I was using gparted live version 0.5.2-9. ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ )
    Everything you do is at your own risk. I am in no way related to Lenovo, other than being a customer using their
    products.
    Step 1) Make a full backup of your harddisk. Get yourself recovery CDs for your Thinkpad model if you don't have any. The changes we are about to make can completely screw up your harddrive. A typo is sufficient for that to happen.
    Step 2) Power on the system. Check that you can boot into the Service Partition by pressing the Thinkvantage button when the startup screen appears. (Older systems may have a differently named button.) If there is a problem booting the service partition now, it is likely that the rest of this procedure will not fix it.
    Step 3) From the service partition choose 'Warmstart' to reboot the system. Reboot Windows XP, logon.
    Open a command prompt. CD to the following directory:
    \Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\BMGR
    On a german language system (like mine) it is
    \Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR
    If you have an older IBM system the directory may be named
    \Program Files\Common Files\IBM\BMGR
    or something like that. Maybe you need to search around.
    In the following, I will call this the "BMGR dir".
    Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    You should get an output similar to this:
    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

    The important thing to look for is the 0x12 partition type in the partition table at the bottom. This is the service
    partition. If you do not have a 0x12 partition, then you can stop here because the rest of the procedure will not work
    for you.
    Step 4) Shutdown and boot gparted from CD. Shrink the system partition to the desired size. Do NOT touch the service partition! Do NOT attempt to create another partition! Leave the new white space on the disk untouched! Apply changes and restart the system.
    Step 5) Reboot XP. gparted has set the NTFS dirty bit. This will cause XP to run a full CHKDSK. Depending on how much files there are on the partition this may take considerable time. Let CHKDSK run to completion. When CHKDSK finishes, the system will automatically reboot.
    Step 6) XP reboots now. Logon. When loading the desktop, XP will show a popup window, stating that system settings have been changed and new devices been discovered and that the system should be rebooted. This is ok. XP actually recognized the shrunk system partition and applied the necessary changes to its own system parameters. Click YES to reboot the system.
    Step 7) XP reboots. Logon. Open a command prompt, CD to the BMGR dir and enter:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output you get should be similar to the output you have seen in step 3, except that the partition 0 size column
    shows a smaller value.
    Step 8) Shutdown, restart. Check that you can still access the service partition by pressing the blue Thinkvantage button when the system startup screen appears.
    Step 9) From the predesktop environment choose warmstart. Reboot XP. Logon, logoff, shutdown.
    DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! If you start the Windows Vista/7 install right after shutting down from the predesktop
    environment, the Win Vista/7 setup program will screw up your harddisk! The Lenovo MBR bootmgr reboot takes two steps for completion. The first step is the shutdown and the second step is executed when booting from harddisk. A boot from the Windows CD will skip this second step and disaster finds its way...
    Step 10) Insert the Windows Vista/7 DVD and boot it. Start the setup. Choose "Custom (advanced)" install. It will show the partitions on the disk. Select the white space (unallocated). Click on "disk options (advanced)". Click on "New" to create a new partition in the white space. Keep the default size, click "Apply". Click "Format". A popup window appears stating that the partition may hold OEM data. Continue. Click "Next". Installation starts.
    Continued in the second post...

    Step 11) Win Vista/XP will reboot several times during installation. You will always see the Windows bootmanager with an entry for "Earlier Windows version" and "Windows Vista/7". DO NOT DARE to touch the blue Thinkvantage button on any reboot or press any function keys!
    Step 12) When the installation is finished, check that you can successfully reboot Win Vista/7 by selecting it from the Windows bootmanager.
    Step 13) Reboot XP by choosing "Earlier Windows version" from the Windows bootmanager. Open a command prompt. CD to the BMGR dir. Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output will now look like this:
    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v
    Opened Master Boot Record to see whose MBR it is.

    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>
    startLBA and size will of course differ, depending on the actual partition sizes you have set. Note that Windows setup moved the service partition to entry 2 of the partition table. If you do not see the 0x12 partition then stop here.
    Otherwise the following step will likely screw up you harddisk.
    Enter the following command (case sensitive?):
    bmgr32 /Fbootmgr.bin /m0 /IBM /v
    The output will look like this:

    So you have actually regained the Lenovo bootmanager. But you are not done yet.
    Step 14) Shutdown. Restart the system. DO NOT PRESS THE BLUE THINKVANTAGE BUTTON AT THE SYSTEM STARTUP SCREEN!!! IT DOES NOT WORK YET! When the system startup screen DISAPPEARS, quickly press F11 (maybe several times). The system should now boot the predesktop environment from the service partition.
    Step 15) When the predesktop is there, choose "warmstart". When the system startup screen appears, press the blue Thinkvantage button. The system should again boot into the predesktop. The blue Thinkvantage button now works permanently.
    Step 16) Check that you can boot Win XP and Win Vista/7 from the Windows bootmanager. You're done!

  • MacBook Pro Retina won't install windows 7 64bit

    Hi guys, i'm tryng to install windows 7 64bit but no success till now. I'm using an updated version ( service pack 1 integrated) when windows loads i can't install it on the bootcamp partition because it says"windows needs an ntfs partition to install" . Then i cancel that partition, create one new ntfs one, and try to install.... then windows tells me "Impossible to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. For further information, look at the program's registry files"
    It seems to be an error caused by a defective driver of the controller of the hard disk.... so the controller of the ssd. Or is it something else? how can i install windows via bootcamp on the new macbook pro with retina display?

    you format the FAT/MSDOS to NTFS inside the Windows installer.

  • How to install Windows 8.1 Pro on Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone,
         I'm new to these forums and new to bootcamping as well but have been reading all kinds of posts about how to install Windows 8.1 on their Macs using bootcamp. I am however having trouble with this situation as I have no clue what to do next. I have a Macbook Pro 2011, running on Maverics, and I recently downloaded a digital copy of Windows 8.1 Pro, 64-bit, for the Mac platform, along with its CD key through my University's hub website as can be seen here.
    After finishing the downloading process, I received this file which is about 4GB large.
    When i double click on the file this happens. It opens something on DEVICES which gives me what is on the 2nd image.
    At this point, I'm at a loss on what to do next. Do i burn the file on a DVD hoping that Bootcamp will recognize it as a windows disc? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

    You need a 'Full' Installer.
    From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
    Which versions of Windows work with Boot Camp 5.1?
    Boot Camp 5.1 supports 64-bit, non-Enterprise versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1. This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.
    Can I perform an upgrade install from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?
    It's not possible to upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows. Back up your important files, then perform a new install of the 64-bit version of Windows.

  • How to install Windows 7 on a MacBook Air?

    Hi everybody,
    I am sorry in case this has been covered before, but i couldnt find anything searching different categgories here, so i´d appreciate some help.
    I have got a late 2011 MacBook Air with lots of SSD and so on and i want to install windows 7.
    I bought a wndows 7 OEM DVD (actually, two discs, one says support software)
    I have tried to run bootcamp and follow the instructions, but to now end.
    on my macbook air, i get the option "create a windows 7 disc" or something like that (the first option), which doesnt help me because i dont have optical drive
    when i start boot camp on my iMac, this option will be greyed out.
    Also, I have tried to to ISO copys of the windows DVD and save them to a USB stick but i just wouldnt come to any result.
    does anybody have a good, comprehensive instruction on how to install windows 7 on an MBA withou optical drive?
    Also, is 30GB OK for Win 7 if you basically dont wanna do to much in windows (no office etc, just some small clients)
    thanks!

    30GB is not enough, especially on an SSD. Normally 50-60GB and with SSD I'd go with 80-90GB.

    There is a program to create DVD from ISO or .exe
    Apple Boot CAmp Assistant should have prompted to save a driver for you to support a USB-DVD, in addition to the normal Apple B.C. drivers you save to flash card.
    Disk Utility is not a good method for burning Windows DVDs.

  • How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo

    How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo:
    I want to known how to install windows 7 on Old Macbook 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo by using usb
    I try many time, but after restart bootcamp partition, apple show blinking folder error
    I think this firmware not support to install windows by usb
    NOTE:
    I Cannot install Apple New OSX Mountain Lion, Mavericks etc in this MAC
    If I cannot install windows 7 on this MAC, so tell me what I will do with this MAC  ? 

    I agree with the optical drive, mine acted strange, and i thought people were crazy and my drive was shot, but a simple cleaning disc worked miracles.
    But- are you trying to reboot with both the USB install and the DVD install both plugged in?  that would definitely cause confusion.
    Do this, reboot with NOTHING plugged in.  Once you hear the Mac chime, immediately press and hold option.
    You should only see the Mac HD, and Recovery Partition.
    THEN plug in your external DVD, and wait a min or two, you should see a disc icon appear next to the recovery partition that says something like windows.  If that doesnt appear after a min or two, unplug it and put the USB stick and do the same thing.  I had to do it this way on my mid 09 MBP.
    Let me know if this works to start the install.  If not we may have to start over with Bootcamp Assistant

  • I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

    I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

    Again thank you.  If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email.  That's my understanding anyway.  Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator  as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

  • I have Macbook Pro 13" mid 20012. How to install Windows 8 onto the mac using DVD? 10.8.3

    i have windows 8 DVD and i would like to have a clear instructions on how to install windows 8. I dont understand the need for USB

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
    Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?

    Hi - How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?
    I am pretty new to the apple world. Tried doing it through bootcamp but did not success.
    I am not interested to install it through Parallels or Fusion. Plz guide.
    Thanks !

    OK, use Windows 8 in Bootcamp. Be aware that there are no Bootcamp drivers for Windows 8 yet. So you may experiance not only delays but display problems, freezing, crashes and other problems.
    Here is the Bootcamp forum. Make sure you read all the posts from people experiencing Windows 8 problems with Bootcamp. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
