Qosmio F10 - cannot install WXP with new HDD

My F10 doesn`t start from hard disk anymore and because of the obvious sound from the hard disk it is certainly broken. I have changed the build in Toshiba hard disk with 80GB for a Toshiba hard disk with 60GB.
I put a Windows XP Installation disc into the drive and pressed C at the start for booting from the CD. It doesn`t start the installation but instead it says that I have to remove the hard disc.
Why? Is it only possible ti install an identical hard disc because there is no bios?
PLZ HELP!!!

Hi
Is your new HDD recognized in BIOS properly?
Check this!!
Furthermore when you get exactly the message from Windows installation and what will be displayed exactly?
Can you try it with Toshiba recovery disk, please?

Cannot install WXP on new HDD in Tecra S3

Hey,
I bought a Second Hand Notebook without HDD, so I bought yesterday a new HDD from Samsung with 120GB. I putted it into my Tecra Notebook and started it. But for some reason there are problems.
I downloaded already the driver for the RAID and I took it on a floppy disk. I also have an external FDD, but always when it finished installing the driver and the Windows Setup should begin the computer says he couldn't install it on this partition because he doesn??t can access it.
I formatted the HDD a few times but nothing helped.... I don't have a system Recovery Disk and I tried it already with integrating the Driver in the Setup via nLite.
But now there is something new. Every time the install should begin there is a blue screen which tells me I have to restart the PC and check for viruses or take the HDD out.
The biggest problem is, the Notebook is on dutch...
I hope somebody can help me, I??m really desperate!

HP installation disk? It could be a customized recovery disk with HP drivers, so that would be no good.
The best thing to do would be to order a Tecra S3 recovery disc from Toshiba or a Service Center and use that instead, or buy a retail copy of XP and install the Toshiba drivers from here: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

Cannot install itunes on new laptop

Cannot install itunes on new laptop, even when security software is disabled. Downloads fine, goes through install and then says it can't install on my system. I have admin priviledges and already have Quicktime running. Help! I have itunes already running beautifully on 3 other computers and an ipod touch with home sharing - but my new laptop just won't intall itunes. Can anyone help?

Many thanks. Quite often with the 0x800736B3 on the iTunes install, there seems to be an 0x8007000b in play for Windows Update.
Let's try the following document first:
[Windows Update error 8007000b|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error- 8007000b]
Next head to Windows Update and try stocking back on Windows Updates again. If you're a long way behind (sometimes this has been going on for months for people), you may need to do it in several batches. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
After you're stocked back up on Windows Updates, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(If you can't get Windows Updates to install, post back to let us know the error codes you've been getting on the most recent attempts at updates. Sometimes things are in such a snarl that we have to try a few different measures with them.)

Am interested in Mountain Lion but would like to install in a new hdd.

Purchased new 1tb hdd. I am interested in Mountain Lion but would like to install in the new hdd. How to do that without media?

Download Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, and when the installer runs choose the desired hard drive or partition on which to install it. Be sure the target volume is first formatted with a GUID partition scheme and with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the filesystem format (this can be done with Disk Utility).
The volume can be an external or internal drive, and a primary or secondary partition on either.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox. 
I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where 
websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that 
are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave 
their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating. 
So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the 
new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and 
I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see 
all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to 
use the <<TOOLS<<OPTIONS<<PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies. 
The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient 
and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked 
so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their 
site anymore.

(my question was not fully showing so I added this here)

Problem with New HDD and installation of Qosmio Player

Hi All,
Hope someone can help, I have had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard disk. I decided to replace the hard disk as this was the quickest solution. The problem I have now is that I cannot receive TV on media center. I was trying to install qosmio player on the HDD to see if it made any difference but when I run the recovery disk supplied the software tells me that there is not enough disk space!!. The laptop came with a 60G hard disk and the new HDD made by the same manufacturer is a 150GB, can anyone help me out with this one would be appreciated.
Thanks
ED.

Qosimo F10.
Sorry my previous entry was garbled. I upgraded the HDD to 120, could not get the Qosimo player to reload, same error, No space on HDD.
I then upgraded to Vista and downloaded the new Vista Qosimo drivers, created the ISO image and booted from it. Still did not work.

Qosmio F10: What to do with the Update Tool CD after motherboard replacement?

Hi, Hoping someone can help.
My F10 has had three new mother boards since the first one broke down. Fortunately I had paid for the extended warranty. However, when it came back this time they had formatted my hard drive because they changed the chip set. Now it can't find a TV signal and the FN Keys dont work. They sent me new CD Roms entitled "Update Tool" and "Qosmio Player Update", but they don't do anything to help the problem. Anybody got any ideas or does it need to got back again?
Thanks in advance
Chris

Ok, I think the engineer will install everything again and will make an update.
By the way; I think the bundled Qosmio Update Tool CD is a booting CD and its necessary to boot up from this CD to install the proper system drivers for the new hardware components.
The complete update process will take about ten minutes. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
After approximately 5 minutes, the copy process is complete. The message
The media will update software, please do not remove it. Hit any key to Shutdown
is displayed. Press any key to shutdown. Turn on the power of the computer and follow the on-screen instructions.
The Update Tool CD for Qosmio screen then appears and the process of updating the software begins. This can take approximately 5 minutes and the
computer will reboot to complete.
The Qosmio Player Update only works if the Qosmio Player was installed on the HDD.
This is true for original Toshiba image installation.
Note: Do not install the Player if it's missing!
- Boot the PC with the QosmioPlayer update CD.
- Select desired language with allow key and press the Enter key.
- Select desired Country/Region Code and Keyboard Code with allow key and press the Enter key.
- Follow the on-screen instructions

Cannot install WXP on Satellite Pro A300

Hey guys,
I was hoping I could find some help on these forums. I hope I have posted this in the right place.
A while ago, Windows Vista went crazy on one of my laptops, and I wanted to install XP. (No, you cannot laugh at me). I have the XP Pro SP3 disc.
Although, even the recovery agent that Toshiba has on all of its laptops/computers could not fix these issues I had. I put the XP Pro Sp3 disc into the MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ880AS drive, hoping to use the formating tool on that so it would let me install XP as Microsoft/Windows made it impossible to revert. Anyway, the formatting went all well, and then the installation just came up with billions of errors.
I currently have a Ubuntu Live CD running on it, to make it actually DO something, and its working fine. But i really badly want XP on it.
I think the issue could be BAD SECTORS on the HDD.
I need help, and input.
Do I buy a new HDD and hope the install works? Do I buy a whole new laptop?
Your help is appreciated like you wouldnt believe. This has been driving me nuts for ages.
Brock

Hello.
1) Check if your compact disc has no scratches.
2) Make sure that the lens of the DVD drive is clean (dust free). If not perform a cleaning operation by using cotton wool stick and alcohol (make it very accurate and avoid making any micro scratches).
3) Backup all your data from all partitions. Then start a clean installation of Windows XP. In the setup remove all your existing partitions (make sure that after that you have ONLY unpartitioned space) then create new partitions of preferred size. Format those partitions in NTFS (Quick) mode. Finally, install the system onto partition C.
That's it.
Good Luck to You, and keep posting your progress.
Regards,
Osman.

Replace HDD w/ Win 8 with new HDD w/Win 7

Just bought a HP Pavilion 17-e067cl Notebook PC from COSTCO. I want to remove the factory installed HDD with Win 8 and the factory load on it and replace it with a new HDD and load Win 7 on it
Is there anything in the BIOS that would prevent me from doing this? If so, can the settings be modded to accomplish my plan?
I intend to use an identical bare drive and load Win 7 on it.
Will a new, retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit Full System Builder License and Media, GFC 020250 (1 machine, 1 license) be the correct version of the OS install. I want Home Prem.
My intention is to keep the original HDD with Win 8 in case warranty issues arise in the future or will the motherboard marriage be a problem?
details for the laptop:
prod #: F9L64UA#ABA
HDD: ST750LM0 22 HN-M750MBB SATA (Samsung)
BIOS: F.22
Sys Board: 1984 01.13
Memory: 8GB SODIMM Samsung 1600MHz
CPU: AMD A8-5550M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
disclaimer: my last cert was on Win XP, so I am way behind the curve on Win 8.
Thanks in advance!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

****Disclaimer*****
HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 on a computer shipped with Windows 8, nor will it support the installation of Windows 7. HP will not provide Windows 7 drivers and suitable drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Also, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features designed for the computer.
Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING... even if you are going to swap in a new HDD.
You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and maybe ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot cofiguration" on the settings page shown below, before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
or
Some of the information below will vary depending on the HDD being partitioned as MBR or GPT, and/or booting the Windows 7 installation media as Legacy or UEFI.
Additionally, as the hard drive may be partitioned as GPT, you may have to boot the computer using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the "F9" boot menu. If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect doesn't exist in the boot menu, please post a screen shot and/or descibe the listed boot options.
I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best intallation experience. If you need Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own Windows 7 SP1 disc. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid UEFI enabled USB Flash drive if it is formated as NTFS and may require a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, as it has options for "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" and "FAT32".
Most of the Windows 7 drivers from the HP Pavilion g7z-2100 CTO Notebook PC Drivers page should work on your computer, however you may need to source some drivers directly from the chipset manufacturers's support sites.
Please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" for any additional missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below;
