Installing Windows 7 on the Satellite M100

I have the Satellite M100-JG2 (PSMA0C-JG200E). I would like to install Windows 7. The Toshiba does not list the M100 as compatible. The Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor does point to some issues, but I do not know how easy it is to overcome them.
I read on another forum that the touchpad didn't work after the upgrade but this was solved by installing a Synaptics driver. Otherwise, I'm seeing people posting the upgrade was successful with no other info. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced success or not in attempting this upgrade, any issues they've run in to and how they've resolved them?
The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor provides the following information (I've delete personal programs):
All systems pass (I only have 1GB RAM though, so not sure if this is too little, even though it passed)
All devices pass
Programs with issues:
TOSHIBA ConfigFree version 5.90.05 (don't know if I even need this)
TOSHIBA Hardware Setup version 1.39.0.4C
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password version 1.39.0.5C
TOSHIBA Alps Pointing-device Driver version 6.0.2.186 (is this touchpad)
Client and Host Security Platform version 104.0.14.2
Any help or advice would be welcomed before I attempt this upgrade.
Thanks!

Okay, same Rory, different signon, as I had a password recovery issue. Alex, thanks for your very helpful response.
Here are my two major concerns:
1) Toshiba does not list the M100 compatible for a reason, but it does list the M300 and M500 as compatible. I do not know why the M100 is not listed.
2) The big issue I've seen in my internet search with the M100 is that the touchpad does not work after installing Windows 7. I was this resolved by one user by installing a Synaptics driver, but that is the only thing I've been able to find on the net about this.
Does anyone have any advice or experience about installing Windows 7 in the Satellite M100. I would have to wipe my only laptop, upgrade and find out I've hit a wall and have to try to go about to XP.
Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!
Rory

Windows 7 on Satellite M100-222

Hi, everyone!
I want to install "Windows 7" (x32) on my "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222 (PSMA1E).
Someone have correct instructions about it? I have display drivers (ATI Mobility Radeon x1400), sound drivers ("Realtek" high definition audio codecs), "Toshiba" Bluetooth stack v8.00.02.
I installed & checked these drivers. Everything works correctly. I didn't install other drivers. 'Cause "Windows 7" found and installed drivers during installation. Also chip set drivers.
Have problems with "Toshiba" VAP v1.2.40 (Value added package). I received error message during installation VAP. This version of VAP I downloaded from official site "Toshiba" especially for my laptop.
I looked at forum about "Satellite" L500 VAP & Flash card support utility for "Satellite" M100-221 (with BIOS v5.60). May be this method will solve problem with VAP for my "Satellite" M100-222 (BIOS v3.00). I will check it. But I want to know!
Someone use "Windows 7" on "Satellite" M100-222? Please, help solve this task.
Thanks to everyone!

I dont have this notebook model and cannot say for sure how it works with Windows 7 but what I know is that principle for Os and drivers installation is the same for all operating systems.
I have checked Toshiba download page and saw that you can download Installation order document for Vista. Use this list for drivers, tools and utilities installation.
I presume you must make mix between Vista and Win7 stuff.
Follow this list and install Win7 stuff, if available. If something is missing try to use Vista stuff. It should work.

Installing Windows XP on Satellite A10 without CD/DVD drive

I want to reinstall windows xp on a Toshiba A10 and the CD Rom is dead ...
I've tryed to reinstall it from a bootable usb stick but i can't make it to boot from it.
I was thinking about that LAN boot thing.
Can I install windows from a lan pc and if a i can, can someone explain how or give me a tutorial or something?
How can i install windows from the usb stick?
Please help me i really need this to work.

Hi
It seems that the BIOS does not support booting from the USB flash drive.
The booting from LAN is possible but if you want to boot from LAN then you will need an RIS Server.
Here is a Microsoft Step-by-Step Guide to Remote OS Installation
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742378.aspx
But to be honest I would recommend other method.
If you want to install the Win XP on the HDD then you should copy the i386 folder from the Win XP CD to HDD (you can remove the HDD from notebook and could connect it to other computer using USB controller).
Then you should go to i386 folder which you copied to HDD and should execute the setup.exe or winnt.exe
Both exe file should start the installation setup.

I have installed windows on the new NTFS partician and cant boot it back to mac

I have installed windows on the new NTFS partician and cant boot it back to mac. I dont think I loaded the bootcamp for windows properly now it is stuck in Windows with no bootcamp icon

Restart Windows, hold down the option key.
If you have a valid OSX install, the drive should appear. Choose the OSX partition and continue.

How to install windows on the new SSD

I am planning to buy a SDD.
However, how can I use my Windows Product ID for installing a new system on the SSD;
Is there any recommendations for this situation. I want to keep all lenovo functions in the new SSD.
BTW, it is T420.
THX!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi.
did you make the Lenovo recovery dvd set from your original factory windows installation?
if so, then:
- simply swap out the platter drive for the new, blank ssd.
- make sure that your optical drive is listed first in your bios boot order.
- boot disk #1 of the recovery disk set and follow the prompts.
- in short order you'll have the ssd set up with "all lenovo functions" as you've described you wish.
- you won't need the Windows key from the sticker on the bottom of your machine.
if you didn't make the set, then it'll take more work. once you've installed Windows on the ssd, you'll need to get Thinkvantage System Update from the driver matrix here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77167 and install it. you'll be able to update hardware drivers and Thinkvantage apps from it. once you've completed that, you can double check the matrix to catch anything newer than offered by TVSU.

How to install windows on the SSD (Y580)

I have bought an Y580 recently wIth a 64GB SSD and 1TB HDD. I asked the salesperson upfront if the OS would be on the SSD. He said yes. Turns out that it is not. When i returned to them they told me it's a hybrid drive solution. And they have no idea how to install Windows on the SSD.
I did some research and found out that Lenovo uses *Rapiddrive* to speed up programs. Hence why i can't see the SSD in WIndows as it is merged with the 1TB HDD. In Disk management 2 disks show , 0 and 1 , but Windows asks to give disk 1 a MBR or GPT (this is apparantly due to the rapiddrive methode).
My questions:
* Is it possible to install Windows on the SSD and if so how can that be done without loosing the backup on the hidden partition of the 1TB disk? (so that OKR still works)
* What are the benefits of Rapiddrive over using the SSD as bootdisk?

Since it is a hybrid drive, it works a little bit differently; Lenovo's "Rapiddrive" is also different from other hybrids, and in the sake of making it "user friendly" and seen as a single disc they have probably nerfed some configurability for the intermediate/advanced users. However, Windows should already be installed on the SSD portion of the drive, this should be done automatically according to this press release:
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/sitelets/ee/consumer-news
"In the factory we will preload not just Windows 7 on the SSD, but also our Lenovo applications like OneKey™ Theater or OneKey™ Rescue System. The applications, operating system, drivers and other files are all fully-optimized for Enhanced Experience to make them load much faster. This, combined with their installation on the SSD will make the boot time to Windows desktop even faster. Some portion of the SSD will also be reserved as the Windows Paging File — this is used by Windows as 'virtual memory' additional to the normal RAM installed inside the computer. With the SSD acting as the Paging File, general Windows 7 performance will also benefit, especially when multitasking several applications.
The remaining space, which will typically be around 15GB on a 32GB SSD, will be empty, ready for the user to install their favorite applications and files."
I have some of the fastest SSD's around installed on my desktops (SATA III), and while they are blazing fast, keep in mind the whole boot sequence still isn't going to be instantaneous even with an SSD (the biggest differennce you will notice is by the time Windows is loaded, it's fully loaded to the RAM, whereas a normal HDD you may see the desktop but your PC will still be cranking away with startup processes). If your startup is taking 30 seconds or less, maybe even a little longer, it's probably accessing the SSD just fine; if it's taking closer to 60 seconds, then yeah it may need to be reinstalled/reconfigured.
As for reinstalling, sorry I won't really be able to help, hopefully someone else can come along; I personally have never used OKR anyways, and aside from doing a ghost backup I wouldn't say for sure that OKR would be salvageable with a fresh install. And because the Rapiddrive is its own technology, half SATA half PCI-E, I also couldn't tell you if it's even possible to fully seperate the two and keep them as distinct drives.

After install Windows 10, the texts in Skype are not very neat, with low definition

After install Windows 10, the texts in Skype are not very neat, with low definition. This has happend just with Skype. Do you know how I can fix it?

I HAVE FOUND A FIX! Searching through the support blogs paid off in a big way. A minor registry edit is all it took and my drive is working like new! Here's the fix. My system is Windows 10 64-bit.  Resolution 5: Create a registry subkey
Note To use this method, you must be logged on to Windows as an administrator. If you need help verifying that you are an administrator, go tohttp://support.microsoft.com/gp/admin
Important Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
To create the registry subkey, follow these steps:
    Press the Windows logo key + R to open the Run box. (or right-click on windows icon in lower left corner)
    Type regedit in the Run box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
    In the navigation pane, locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi
    Right-click atapi, point to New, then click Key.
    Type Controller0, and then press Enter.
    Right-click Controller0, point to New, and then click DWORD(32-bit) Value .
    Type EnumDevice1, and then press Enter.
    Right-click EnumDevice1, click Modify....
    Type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
    Exit Registry Editor.

"Windows 7" on Satellite M100-222 - full discussion

Good day everyone! This post about "Windows 7" on "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222.
Maybe, this method (and like some drivers & utilities) will be successfully apply for others "Satellite" M100 models. Because some models very similar technically. For example, "Satellite" M100-221 & ect. I want to share it & discuss about. Because reliable information and practical guide about it to the Internet is virtually absent... or little information is not fully. I'm having some issues. With these issues I would like to share. Maybe, we will find correct solution together. Please, join... So...
First, update BIOS! This is necessary for "Windows 7" If your BIOS version 3.00, update it - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60;
Before install "Windows 7"... I updated my BIOS (v3.00) to v5.60 - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60
I did it through "Windows" XP Pro x32... Simply executable file, run it & follow steps.
Note:
Two years ago I posted question here (forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com) about my RTC. Clock in BIOS (I forget BIOS version. Original BIOS, I bought my laptop & didn't update BIOS then) was frozen. Sometimes the time indicators worked, sometimes not. Very short time. But the indicators also stood hours. Time goes in system. In BIOS frozen - 13:13:13, for example. Then I update BIOS - v3.00, hopefully that my RTC will work again. Nothing... Two yeras I worked with frozen RTC. Everyday I fixed time in BIOS manually. Seconds are frozen... Sometimes time working... But really time in BIOS was frozen. I knew that is not RTC battery problem. Physycally battery is normal. I knew this is BIOS problem. Because tests revealed it - physycally battery is normal. BIOS no error messages. Such as RTC problem... Some gave advice on the forum, and I'm not a newbie... Nothing... BIOS time was frozen...
Thinking about upgrading BIOS when faced with... "Toshiba" Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32)... During install I receive error message - 0x8146045B
Tried install different versions of "Toshiba" Value added package. Same error... Guessed to update BIOS! Among the drivers & utilities in site "Toshiba" BIOS for "Windows 7" propose v3.00 for Satellite M100 (PSMA1E). But BIOS v5.60 shown only for "Windows" "Vista". Same platform, same kernel with "Windows 7" (theoretically)... Elementary logical approach! I downloaded & update BIOS - v5.60! Great! BIOS was successfully updated... Maybe, "Toshiba" Value added package will install correctly. I hope. I wait few seconds after shut down the system. I turn on my laptop & press F2 - looked BIOS... Unbelievable... First I saw - seconds in my BIOS clock runs again!!! Each of us felt a sense of joy! But after two years ... BIOS time worked again! So this is unbelievable! But don't be naive. There are certainly a scientific explanation. I mean BIOS update can help solve similar problems. But everything should be studied in detail! After BIOS update I installed "Toshiba" Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32)
Then I found & download drivers & utilities. I checked it with compatibility in "Windows 7". For both platforms of "Windows 7" - x32 & x64... I'll find some utilities - "Toshiba" Touch & launch, "Toshiba" Virtual sound, DVD-RAM software, Acoustic silencer, also "ATI" Catalyst control center... These are open issue for me. But no problem, this is will easy...
Then I install "Windows 7" x64 Ultimate (I was successfully installed "Windows 7" x32 & drivers, utilities before).
Consistently install following drivers:
Intel(R) Chipset device software v9.2.0.1021 (Win7 x32 & x64);
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 driver (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement (Download it from - http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx & extract to folder using any archivators. Then update Standard VGA drivers from this folder);
Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs vR2.57 (Win7 x32 & x64);
ALPS Electric Pointing device driver v7.x5.303.117 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Intel(R) PROSetWireless drivers v13.4.0.139 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Texas Instruments Integrated flash media controller driver v2.0.0.8 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Bluetooth stack v8.00.02 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Registry patch for Storage config v1.0 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Registry patch for Win7 devices & printers v1.2 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba SD utilities v1.8.1.8 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Software modem v2.2.97 (SM2297ALD05) (Win7 x32) or Toshiba Software modem v2.2.97 (SM2297ALS05) (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Utility support driver v1.0.25.5C (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Assist v4.01.00 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba TEMPRO v3.3.4 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba ConfigFree v8.0.23 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Intel(R) PROSetWireless software (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Software modem region select utility v2.3.0.13 (Win 7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Supervisor password utility v3.0.1.0 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Hardware setup utility v1.63.0.32C (Win7 x32 & x64).
During install & updates folllow system restart!
And please, help for next:
Everything worked fine! But yesterday I run "Toshiba" Hardware setup... and receive runtime error message! I know that "Toshiba" HW must be compatibility with BIOS! Please tell, anybody know which version "Toshiba" HW compatibility with "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222? Or "Satellite" M100 models?
And... problems beetwen Toshiba Value added package & Toshiba Flash cards support utility! Flash cards don't run... I uninstall both & reinstall again... Same situation... Few days ago worked fine... But not now... I don't remember, maybe change configurations in Flash cards settings... Don't remember... Help solve these problems. It is very important!
For example I looked Satellite A500 notebook - Toshiba Value added package v1.2.26.64 (Win7 x64) & Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win x64) complect! Maybe, Toshiba Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x64) incompatibility with Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win x64)? Versions, I think...
Anybody have information about these utilities for "Windows 7" platform:
"Toshiba" Touch & launch;
"Toshiba" Virtual sound;
DVD-RAM software;
Acoustic silencer.
and "ATI" Catalyst control center... For full control "ATI" Mobility Radeon X1400 graphic adapter under "Windows 7". I can update only graphic adapter drivers. But don't know which version is compatibility with "ATI" Mobility Radeon X1400 graphic adapter under "Windows 7".
Thanks! I have very little time... Much to do! I will try to fill the drivers on file sharing or torrent. But for this I need to collect all the drivers and utilities. I must check them out. Week of rest, I set to work and share with you what I could.
Thanks again!

Dear Keany! Thanks you Im glad...
I have very little time Only this reason prevents me periodically to public any information. I wrote this post only for Toshiba Satellite M100-222. Maybe someone who need practice information about it will find & will use this practice. Because any extended information about Windows 7 on this model is very limited on Web. If youre into computer hardware you must know that theoretically requirement for each operating system! I have extensive experience in the certified computers & network technologies. But some things I prefer to share with users We learn together :-) First time my Toshiba Satellite M100-222 worked perfectly with 1 GB RAM (512 MB x 512 MB) under Windows 7 x32. Im working under Windows 7 x64 now. Also with 1 GB RAM (512 MB x 512 MB) - 533 MHz. Fine! But not great :-) Im working with multimedia converters, Microsoft Office 2010 Simply & comfortable also play FIFA 2011! You can work under Windows 7 x64 with 1 GB of RAM. But you must configure system. I dont recommend it! So good upgrade RAM to maximum capacity for my model. Ill upgrade my RAM to 4GB (2 GB x 2 GB) 667 MHz So My system rating is 3.9 now
I found the solution for some programs
I think that:
Toshiba Touch & launch theoretically old for Windows 7 also for Windows Vista. ALPS Electric Pointing device software is simply & excellent for use;
Multimedia software such as Windows Media 12, CyberLink PowerDVD 10 includes SRS WOW effects. WinAMP & Foobar have many plugins for sound enhancement. I think that Toshiba Virtual sound very scanty than these programs with integrated sound enhanced modules. Also Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs have rich sound configure tools. For undemanding users :-) But is also enough for home & office use. This problem is solved;
Toshiba Disc creator v2.1.0.4 (Win7 x32) or (x64), I use this version have DVD-RAM utility Very easy for use friendly interface Fixed;
Acoustic silencer I will find but some applications are include utilities for optical drive speed control Acoustic silences very simply & easy for use And not statistic dragon :-);
The only problem is ATI CCC Still I didnt found compatibility software version. But VGA drivers working normal. No problem The only advantage ATI CCC - this software give full control VGA (ATI Mobility Radeon X1400). ATI Stream technology and etc
Toshiba HW setup must compatibility with BIOS! I have some test results when Toshiba HW setup gives failure But I think that Ill find solution Ok, also Ill try install version for Windows Vista But we must know! Not all drivers & softwares for Windows Vista works correctly under Windows 7. Maybe they will work, but after updates will give error My own practice with some softwares
Toshiba Satellite M100-222 is excellent model Conception - all in one! And so I love my notebook! Thanks to you, Keany!
Long time I tried found I want that other user simply download & install drivers & utilities Ok and they will save time :-) We must help each other :-)
If possible, help me about ATI CCC VGA (ATI Mobility Radeon X1400) Good luck!

Cannot install LAN driver on Satellite M100-221

I reinstalled OS on my Satellite M100 - 221 PSMA0E.
IT previously used Windows XP Home Edition, and now I installed Windows XP Professional SP2. I have an error in my DEVICE MANAGER with ethernet controller, mass storage controller,SM bus controller. But let's stick to ETHERNET CONTROLLER.
I download the genuine LAN driver from Toshiba official website, and every time I'm trying to install it I get the message "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware".
In NETWORK UPADATE wizard I don't even have option to choose Realtek driver, only Intel and some others. My network adapter worked great on preinstalled XP Home edition. What am I suppose to do? Please HELP!!!

Hi,
I guess you should try the intel drivers instead of the realtek drivers because your machine was shipped with an Intel LAN chipset.
So, please visit the intel website (www.intel.com) and download the latest LAN drivers from their homepage.
It should work and you should have soon a working ethernet connection.

How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1A9?

Hi!,
first of all, sorry if I'm asking something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this issues...also sorry for my English, I'm not native.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9 with Windows Vista preinstalled but the thing is I prefer Windows XP. I have tried to install it but it won't work.
I have read lots of posts and comments about this issue in this forum and also in the web. The problem is I don't know if the procedure and the drivers to download are the same for all the L300 models. Mine is L300 1A9.
Anyone could give me some extra simply instructions (I'm a beginner) about how to do solve this problem or any link relating this issue? I have seen many of them, but none about this model L300 1A9.
Thank you very much!!

Hi Lars_3,
thank you very much for your reply and interest.
When I say that installing Windows XP doesn't work, I mean that my laptop has Windows Vista but I have tried to reinitialized (format) it to install Windows XP, but when I run the Windows XP (original) disk an error message pops up and I can't continue the installation.
I have had a look to the Toshiba's downloads link you posted, but there's no mention to the L series model. The options available are for M-Series and Net-Book series, so I wonder if it is possible to use one of them for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9?
Thank you very much for your kind help!

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
thanks.

Hi buddy,
Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

Cannot install Windows 8 on Satellite L750 - CPU compatibility issue

Why can I not install Windows 8 Consumer Preview on my Toshiba Satellite L750-22x?
I get a processor compatibility error.
Intel i3 M380 2.53GHz

Hi
The internet provides some details about this error message.
It seem that in order to install the Win 8 CP the CPU should support PAE/NX/SSE2 features
Never-eXecute Bit ( [NX bit|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit] ) allows marking of memory pages as non-executable.
Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) is a previous standard that is supported by Intel and AMD CPU. Therefore all CPUs that support NX would also support SSE2 too.
Usually enabling the XD (for Intel CPUs) or NX (for AMD CPUs) in BIOS should disable this error message.
But if this is not available in BIOS then either the CPU does not supports this feature or the BIOS does not support this option.
According to Intel Ark page the Intel Core i3-380M supports Execute Disable Bit. So possibly the BIOS does not support this feature
http://ark.intel.com/products/50178/Intel-Core-i3-380M-Processor-
It seems you need to wait for new BIOS

Cannot install Windows 7 on Satellite L550

I have a notebook Toshiba Satellite L550-13C.

So how can i fix this not recognize thing do i need too download a driver or something like that
Need heeeelp :(

Hello
Your posting is pretty confusing and it is not easy to understand you.
I dont understand which setup file you want to use but you cannot install operating system with click on some setup file.
You can install Windows 7 using Toshiba recovery image (if you got one) or using original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc.
So please be nice and explain to me which disc do you have and how do you try to install Windows 7.

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'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.
