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 on Satellite Pro A40

    Hi I have read through all the posts and cant seem to find an answer.
    My problems is this ..
    I have tried to install windows from a Full version and when I choose to install windows in a partition it fails. If I try to delete the partition it fails. If I use the recovery disks - Option 1 fails before it fully loads - looks like Gdisk? error and then goes in ghost. Option 2 Loads but when I go to install fails again.
    I cannot find an option in the bios to prevent accessing the disk - like a boot virus protection. the lock key under the keyboard I have tried in both positions.
    I have removed the battery to see if it is a power problem !
    Tried using the recovery options in win xp - but cannot access the drive
    The really strange thing is during the recovery disks option 2 - the drive size is bigger than the actual size by approx 1/3 ?
    The system originally went down whilst connected to the internet - the only option I can thing of is a surge came down the line and damaged either the motherboard or the hardrive. As it has happened to a Desktop system - Blew 3 modems and an ups before we located the problem.
    HELP!!

    Hi,
    did you already tried to check and format the drive with an external tool? I give you a suggestion: try the "ultimate boot cd" which has many tools also some tools for maintaining harddrives.
    You can get the image here: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
    Just burn it to a CD, boot it and choose the tool for your harddisk to check it and to repartition it.
    Hope it helps...

    actually, I´m using the preinstalled Windows and i cannot upgrade to Win8.1Pro, even if i enter an valid LicenseKey...

    thx

    It is possible to install Windows 8.1 Pro, though I went from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro and then updated to 8.1 (still Pro).
    Have you tried doing it from Control Panel > System and Security > System, and clicking "Get more features with a new edition of Windows"?
    If that doesn't allow it you could do a clean install.

  • Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on macbook pro late 2013?

    hi ,
    Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on late 2013 macbook pro?
    I have tried installing it twice but both of the time i got an error
    Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed. 

    Maybe people have found a solution already but yesterday I managed to install Win 8.1 as a BootCamp on my new 15" retina MBP.  I followed the steps John Guo described but with a couple of changes as his approach failed for me.
    1. Make sure you are starting from a single partition.
    2. Create the Windows install USB from the ISO and also allow BootCamp Assistant to create download the drivers - but untick the option to install windows.
    3. Open Disk Utility and create a new partition and format as MS-DOS (FAT) rather than leave as free space.
    4. Restart your Mac and use the option to boot into the Windows part of the USB not the EFI-boot.
    5. Follow the install
    6. When it comes to the drive selection select the FAT drive. Windows installer will say it cannot install here as it needs to be and NTFS partitiion (in previous atempts I always got the message to say the partitiion was using GUI partition table so could not install even though it was formatted to NTFS).
    7. The format to NTFS should work fine and install proceed.
    8. When the installer reboots the machine you will need to use the boot option to ensure you boot back into Windows.
    9. Once installed the bootcamp driver install runs automatically and for me all drivers run fine even the NVIDIA, which I've seen some people mention having issues with.
    I was inpressed with Windows automatically scaling the text to 200%, which meant it was using the full 2880x1800 resolution so everything was crisp but the windows and text was scaled nicely. I changed this 150% to give me some more real estate.
    I'm guessing that by formatting the new partition as FAT it creates a MBP within the new drive that is writable by windows but I'm not a windows guru so this is a guess. But anyway, this work perfectly.
    hope this helps some people.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Macbook Pro 5,1

    I've tried a lot of things to get this to work but can't.
    Boot Camp Assistant says "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.". I have recovery partitions on the drive that were automatically created with the 10.8 installation.
    When I try to install Win 7 I get that it can't be installed on a drive with a GPT partition table and there seems to be no way to do an EFI boot (tried rEFIt but it doesn't even show the DVD as a boot option).
    Any ideas?

    If you have Lion installed, and run Boot Camp, it will create the boot flash for you, just followe the tutorial on screen. As far as I remember, this was not possible prior to Lion.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Retina MacBook with a shared CD drive?

    My school provides Windows 7 Ultimate upgrades to students
    My friend installed Windows 7 normally even though it's technically an upgrade (burned the .img file to a DVD using Disk Utility and installed it through the Boot Camp Assistant tool in Snow Leopard)
    I own a 2008 MacBook which has an optical drive
    I own 1, 2 GB thumb drive and 1, 4 GB thumb drive
    Is it possible to install Windows 7 through my Retina MacBook Pro through a shared CD connection with my 2008 MacBook?
    I tried using the Boot Camp Assitant tool.
    I burned the Windows 7 upgrade .img file to a DVD with Disk Utility just like my friend
    I copied that DVD as a .cdr file to my Retina MacBook using the shared CD connection and Disk Utility, and changed the file extension to .iso
    With the Boot Camp Assistant, I set-up my 4 GB thumb drive
    When I get to the "Create a Partition for Windows" screen and I press install, I get the message "The installer disc could not be found".
    The DVD is in my 2008 MacBook and I mounted it on the Retina MacBook. The 4 GB Windows set-up thumb drive is connected to the Retina MacBook.
    I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

    Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
    I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
    Disk 0 Part 1 -  102 MB EFI System
    Disk 0 Part 2 -  128 MB MSR
    Disk 0 Part 3 -  500 MB Primary
    Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
    But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
    What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
    The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.

    I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
    (X3 710).
    I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
    be OK there.
    Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
    I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
    I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
    I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
    Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
    I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
    launch a command prompt.
    I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
    First I selected the disk
    list disk (this displays the installed disks)
    select disk 0
    The I converted the disk to gpt
    convert gpt
    Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
    create partition
    efi size=200
    Then I created MSR
    partition:
    create partition
    msr size=128
    Then I created primary
    partition:
    create partition
    primary
    ...and it took remaining
    available space to itself.
    I assigned drive
    letter C to this new first "primary" partition
    Assign letter=c
    I confirmed the order is:
    I confirmed the partition order is:
    ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
    After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
    “Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
    and the details show:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
    Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to Install Windows on Sparc machine.

    hi
    Can anybody please tell me that is it possible to install Windows Operating system on a SPARC machine using some kind of VMWare*.

    Hi.
    SPARC CPU not compatible with x86, so no one program for x86 can be run on SPARC cpu.
    Many many years ago was product WABI. It was emulation x86 on SPARC and can allow install windows in special environment.
    It was Windows 3.1 :) . It work slow.
    After this SUN make product SunPCi. It was special card with installed x86 CPU and even separate memory.
    Realy - PC on card. With Special Program it allow install windows. Realy Windows work on x86 CPU, not on SPARC.
    Now all this product died many years. SPARC system more expensive. It's easy and cheap buy general PC for Windows.
    Regards.

  • HP Omni 10 5600eg: Install Windows 8.1 Pro x86

    Hi,
    is it possible to install Windows 8.1 Professional (32 bit) on the Omni 10 without problems?
    Are there any how-tos available?
    Regards
    Andreas

    Hi @AndreasN  , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are looking for an instructional to install Windows 8.1 Pro x 32 on your Omni tablet.
    If you are saying that you want to install a retail copy of Windows on it, I do not have an instructional for you and I have never done it on an Omni tablet. I cannot guarantee you wouldn't have any problems, but I can give you a few things you will need. Here are the drivers you will need:
    HP Omni 10 5600eg Tablet Drivers
    If you have Windows 8.1 DVD's you would need a computer to make an installation USB drive to get it on your tablet:
    Create installation media for Windows 8.1. There are many other instructionals out there as well, if you need more info.
    If I am wrong, and you just mean to do a factory reset, these instructions cover that: Recovering Software on Your HP Tablet (Windows 8)
    I hope this helps.

  • Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591

    Hi forum, I recently bought the Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591 and I noticed that it only comes with the Core Edition of Windows 8.1. As I need some of the features of the Windows 8.1 Pro Edition (joining domains, remote display etc.) I would like to upgrade the System to Windows 8.1 Pro. I still have an unused Pro retail key (no OEM, no Upgrade Pack) here so at the moment I'm downloading the ISO for Windows 8.1 Pro. But prior to installation I would like to make sure that everything works out fine and I don't run intro problems. First of all: is there anything I need to save from the old OS (except from the recovery partition- I already saved that to a USB drive using the recovery program provided by Acer)? Do I have to know my Product Key (using for example a key viewer software) just in case? Do I have to disable secure boot in BIOS? Second: can I just install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website? Drivers should still work, right? Third: if I ever want to switch back to Windows 8.1 Core (the OEM edition) do I just use the USB pen drive created with the acer recovery tool? Will my retail Windows 8.1 Pro Key be usable again if I switch back to the original OS? Sorry for asking that many questions but I just have to make sure that it runs trough right in the first place because I need the Laptop to function. What would be your standard procedure to this kind of "problem"? Thanks in advance and with regards,The_DJ  Edit:I might have forgotten to mention that I want to do a clean reinstall without all the bloatware from Acer. That's why I'm using the Windows 8.1 Pro "Vanilla" ISO and if I ever want to switch back to core use the Windows 8.1 Core "Vanilla" ISO. Is that possible or would I have to use the recovery partition saved to my USB drive?

     Changing the Operating System may cause driver conflicts. The compatible drivers for Windows 8.1 will not be available in the website for this laptop. Hence, some of the features on the laptop might not work after changing the OS.  1: Since you have already created the USB recovery media from the laptop, you do not have to copy anything else other than this.  Make sure you you backup all files before installing the OS, as it will remove all data from the laptop. I see that, you have the unused Pro retail key for the OS, hence, you do not have to have the OEM product key. You need to use the product key for Windows 8.1 Pro to activate it, not the Acer OEM product key.  In the BIOS, select BOOT tab.  Select BOOT MODE as Legacy Mode instead of UEFI.Disable Secure Boot. Under Boot Priority Order, you need to select 1 as CD/DVD (if you are using disc), or USB FDD or USB HDD (if you are using USB drive) to install Windows 8.1 Pro.  Then press the F10 key and select "Yes" to save the changes in BIOS.  ->You an install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website. As said before, there may driver conflicts.  -> If you want to switch back to Windows 8.1, you may use the USB reovery drive (which created you have created from the recovery partition). When you do this, the Windows 8.1 Pro and it's product key will be removed from the laptop and the factory shipped OS, drivers, apps (and the OEM product key) will be installed automatically. You do not have to use the Windows 8.1 Pro key with Acer OEM USB reovery media.  -> You need to do a clean install using the USB recovery drive to install factory shipped Windows on the laptop.
