Re: Trying to install Win7 on Satellite L350D

Hi guys
I have a Toshiba Satellite L350D and I am trying to install the Windows7 again cause the screen went black so I decided to format and install everything again but when its finishing the installation the laptop reboots but the screen continues black :(
Any clews?
Can I do a BIOS update without having Windows working and should this sort it out my problem?
Best regards
Luis

If you have recovery disc you can install original image later. Now is important to have well working OS. For this purposes you can use Microsoft installation disc and later install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities from Toshiba support page. I have done this several times on different Toshiba notebooks and every time everything went well.
Back to your original question: it is not easy to say why the screen stays black. You know that after OS installation notebook may restart several times to finish OS installation and prepare desktop for the first use.
Maybe is some external device connected to your notebook? Please disconnect all connected stuff and try installation again.
Before you start it set BIOS to default settings. It must work somehow.
Good luck.

  • IMac 27" running OS 10.6.7 trying to install Win7 error message 0x80070017

    Hi all,
    For the last 10 hours I have been trying to install Win7 on my iMac 27".  After finding the solution to the black screen issue and getting through to selecting which version of Win7 I'd like to install blah blah, it starts writing the files and then I get the error message 0x80070017.  I have searched here for an answer but the only one I can find dates back to 2008 and has me baffled.   Is there something I can do?  I need this programme to run MS Publisher for my daughter's school projects, otherwise I'd take it back and feed it  down some Microsofts (better stop here).  Have been using Boot camp 3.0 to do the install.
    iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i7  OS 10.6.7.

    Hi Bob,
    Win7 Home Premium, full retail version purchased today (now yesterday).  Black screen problem resolved by using a USB stick with a copy of the drivers folder and Autounattend.xml file from iMac_late_2009_2010_Win7_Drivers download. As per a discussion thread from this forum.
    Followed Boot Camp to the letter, several times.
    Windows disk damaged/dirty... no.
    As for the complete error message there was more to it than the numbers, something about unable to complete, but to get it the exact wording will take another hour or so while I reinstall it again (for the 6th time).
    Boot Camp partition size is 52Gig
    From what I can gather the problem is more than likely not on the install disk but rather on my hard drive, a bad sector or such thing, as Windows is more able to detect disk errors; so I've read anyway.  I am thinking of removing the partition and repairing permissions etc using disk utility and see what happens.  I did have Disk Warrior for my old G4 but that programme doesn't work for later versions of OSX.  Other than that I'm stumped.

  • How to install Win7 on Satellite C870-190?

    Hi, I hope I post in the right forum category so...
    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite C870-190 and it doesnt want to boot my windows 7 CD.
    I tried first with DEL button which open the boot system when I start the notebook and then chose the CD-ROM device and don't want to load the CD and then I chose from F2 the first device on boot section to be the CD-ROM, still don't want to load it..... the final solution I tried to install it from the Windows 8 (current OS) from my computer -> cd-rom -> setup.exe, then click on INSTALL.
    My laptop doesnt let me to install it even from Windows.... on the screen say copying files..... and then it give me an error which say the operation failed.... what's going on with this laptop?
    How can I format my HDD and then install windows 7?
    Thanks

    At the start I must say that I hope you have created recovery media (DVD or USB) before you have started to install Win7.
    Back to your Win7 installation. Long time ago Ive installed Win7 on friends U940 and the first step was changing secure boot mode in BIOS settings - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
    After doing this Win7 installation has started properly but in my case SATA driver load was necessary.
    Please check this at first and send some feedback.

  • Trying to install Win7 but keyboard and mouse dead

    I just installed Boot Camp and in the process of installing Win7 but I'm dead in the water as the mouse and keyboard (wireless) won't respond.  I guess I can force quit but how do I move forward?  Do I have to go buy a wired mouse and keyboard?  I'm using the new Lion OS.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I had similar problems so used a USB mouse &keyboard when installing win 7 64 bit from DVD.
    As installation continues the first reboot is ok, can select country etc, but on second reboot (when the computer is named) the mouse & keyboard are dead in the water .
    any ideas?
    Please

  • "Load Driver" error while installing Win7 on Satellite C665

    My hard drive in my laptop died on me, so I got a new hard drive (Solid State) and am installing Windows 7 on it on my Toshiba (Satellite C665 model PSC55A)
    I don't seem to be alone in encountering this error: "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now." However everyone seems to get it for different reasons and I've tried multiple things.
    The first obvious one: Use the disk I got with the laptop. I've moved houses since I bought the laptop. Looked through every box in the house and and I think it may be lost to oblivion.
    The next most obvious: Load the drivers from the Toshiba support. Tried that. Doesn't work. Not sure why, but I downloaded the drivers from Toshiba, extracted them, put them on a USB. In "Install Windows" in sees a list of all the drivers. I attempt to install all of them, it goes through them all. At the end of it it still doesn't work.
    The next: Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. I read it would work, so I attempted it, and it didn't.
    I've also read BIOS, "Disable AHCI mode for your disk controller in the system BIOS", I'm not the greatest so I may not have gotten this step right, but the only time I found AHCI in the BIOS I couldn't change it to IDE or ATA as was suggested, I could only change it to "Compatibility"
    Thank you for your help, I hope I don't sound too hopeless.

    >I found AHCI in the BIOS I couldn't change it to IDE or ATA as was suggested, I could only change it to "Compatibility"
    This is right.. you can switch the SATA mode to AHCI or compatible mode.
    In AHCI mode the notebook requires the SATA driver in order to see the HDD or SSD drive. In compatible mode the HDD/SSD drive should be visible while system installation but the HDD/SSD drive would operate in IDE mode means the HDD/SSD drive would be slower.
    But as I understood the posting, youve got problems with CD/DVD drive. Is this correct?
    This really strange because the Windows Setup doesnt need any ODD (optical disk drive) drivers the installation setup contains common CD/DVD drive which controls the disk drive.
    I read in other forums that this problem could be related to faulty Windows installation disk. It would be interesting to know if you can use another disk to install the system
    I found also this MS knowledge base article:
    [A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" or "A media driver your computer needs is missing" error message when you install Windows|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2755139]
    The reasons for that might be:
    The installation DVD is removed during the setup process.
    A low-quality DVD was used to create the installation DVD.
    The speed at which the installation DVD was burned was too fast.
    The DVD drive cannot read the media.
    The ISO file is corrupted.

  • Having problem installing Win7 using Bootcamp on Mac Mini 2011

    I'm trying to install Win7 using bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011. I first partitionned the disc using Bootcamp assistant. Then during Win7 installation I select Partition 4 BOOTCAMP, format it to NTFS, then when I try to select the drive, it says that the drive is not compatible for the installation.
    Is there anything I missed???
    Thanks

    I had a similar problem when I selected upgrade instead of complete install. I want to make sure your aware that you should click the complete option instead of upgrade when you reach that portion of the win7 install. Then you need to select part ion 4 like you have stated and format it to ntfs.
    But it seems that you've already done all of that. My advice would be to go back to the Mac side, restore the partition using bootcamp and again partition it. You need at least 25gb of space for 64 bit. I would recommend using at least 40gb. Just trying to help. I apologize if I misunderstood your problems. But make sure you click on the opposite choice of upgrade, I did my mini last night lol but I can't remember the exact name of the option I think it's complete, then select part 4 and click format....

  • No CD driver when windows tries to install

    i'm trying to install win7 using bootcamp on my iMac i purchased this past march. I get to the windows "starting setup" screen and then it wants me to install a driver for my disc drive. i know for a fact that windows has packaged generic CD drivers with their operating systems at least since XP if not win98 with the basic coding to allow reading disc. i cannot seem to find any solution to this problem. if someone knows of a solution i would greatly appriciate any help i could recieve

    Similar error here..
    I am booting up my system for the first time. It boots up past the Platinum screen, But then it gives me the following errors:
    For Realtek RTL8110S/8169S Gigabit Ethernet Controller beta v 1.00 (030811)
    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
    His fix was..
    lol... I'll go ahead and tell you. I was getting all those weird errors.... saying files were corrupt and such. I noticed that in the bios it was reading my CD-RW drive as Slave and wasn't recognizing my DVD drive at all. So... I put the jumper for the DVD Drive on Master.... popped in the Windows XP CD and everything worked fine.
    It's a long shot, but looks like he had a jumper wrong, and it fooled the BIOS into booting from a network.
    Sounds to me like something is fooling yours.
    You can get that error with RIS, but XP doesn't have RIS as such.
    GUID FFFF....FFFF (whole lot of Fs) is the GUID of your firewire.
    Like a NIC has a MAC address, a firewire port has a GUID. (lots of digits, more than a MAC)

  • [s205] How to install Win7 x64 from scratch on a new hdd?

    Hello,
    I have a little problem to solve...
    I own a s205. My hard drive died. I replaced it with a new one. After that I tried to install Win7 x64. During the install it created 2 small partitions. It was strange to me, I saw it for the first time. Later I read that this is because of UEFI.
    Anyway, everything installed good, but after installing drivers I encountered few problems. Neither of net card were working. I started to look for some informations and I know that the problem is UEFI.
    My question - can anyone write a guide how to install Win7 x64 on s205 in Legacy mode, so everything would work like before? Unfortunately I don't have any rescue dvds or any other source of Lenovos images.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    hi bean.

  • Still restarts after instalation WIN7

    Hi everyone,
    I have problem, I have bought Lenovo IdeaPad G570 without OS. I tried to instal WIN7, everything going fine, but at the end of instalation, notebook wrote "logon process initialization failure" and still restarts. In instalacion I deleted partitions, and format the new one so i havent my backup file. I tried to recover it, but still the same. Could you help me pls.

    System get restarted after installation of windows. I would suggest you to kindly check the SATA mode controller in the BIOS mode, change it to IDE or compatible mode. To do so please restart the system and press F2 key continuously, Bios screen will appear.
    Also you can check with other operating system.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sameer

  • Installing win7 on imac 27" mid 2011 model - sloow

    i am trying to install win7 x64 ultimate edition in bootcamp on my latest imac mid 2011 i7, 3.4ghz, 12gb ram. I have created the bootcamp partition and i have the win7 installation disc. Once the computer restarts to begin setup of win7, the speed is rediculously slow, and i mean slow. it would literraly take about 5 hrs alltogether to install the windows7, and in between the screens, it usually takes about 10 minutes for each screen to appear, plus mouse is not responsive for about 5 minutes before the next step is completed. i have first tried to install win7 from snow leopard via bootcamp (installation of windows was slow). i upgraded to lion OS, and the same problem is consistant, redicously slow instalation. Even if thw win7 installs successfully (after like 5 hours), its not operational at all. i am unable to install the drivers once the win7 installation fully completes, because of its no response to any commands
    I have performed the installation of bootcamp win7 a week earlier on my MBA (latest edition), same win7 disk via USB drive without any problems and it runs smooth. the same is not the case installing on imac 27". Any ideas?

    You probably left out something signifiant. Like your iMac is configured with....SSD?
    3rd party memory might be an issue.
    Both have been known to be factors. Some Apple (Toshiba) SSDs are very slow, some seem not to be supported or have issues. The SATA 3 6G cable interface for one.
    Do you have an SSD plus 2TB hard drive?

    Hi,
    There is a Boot Camp (it's Boot Camp not bootcamp) forum, I'd recommend re-posting there. Also if you haven't seen it here is the Installation and Setup Guide for Boot Camp.

  • Plz help i really tired from searching creat MBR partition without bootcamp or install win7 in GPT guid

    hello i have more than one partition on my macbook pro mid 2012 13 inch and its impossible to me to make it one partition for some reasons one of them that the partition sys is the second any way i tried to creart partition EXFAT and tried to install win7 but it says that can't be installed in GPT guid i talked chat with apple more than one 9 times to find answer but it's useless i get pro solution here

    The TechRecipe article is old. Some of the commands still apply, but it is a very custom solution.
    Yes, there is a way to create a custom hybrid MBR to accommodate additional partitions.
    1. This is a very fragile arrangement, and any Apple Software upgrade can break it.
    2. Any Hybrid MBR changes require this process to be repeated every time it breaks, which you should be willing to undertake.
    3. If you want to do this, and maintain it, please post the output of the following commands from OS X Terminal?
         diskutil list
         diskutil cs list
         sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
         sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
    4. Sudo command require your password, which is not echoed back to you. You may also see a warning about improper use of sudo and potential data loss.
    5. Can you describe what exactly are you trying to establish?
    6. You previous attempt with exFAT failed, because your Mac requires a Hybrid MBR which maps the GPT to a MBR using a one-to-one mapping.
    7. If you just want to run OS X and Windows, and do not want to run any custom disk partitions, you should use Bootcamp Assistant. If it is failing, it can be addressed.
