Satellite L500-128 - Clean installation of Windows 7 64bit

hello guys. I want to make some questions
I have windows vista in my laptop and I want to make a clean installation with windows 7 64 bit. I have seen that drivers are ok in the site. So here are my questions
a) should i delete the hidden recovery partition or not? (eisa config if i remember correct)
b) I have taken 4 dvds with toshiba recovery disc creator. If I erase every partition in the laptop how can I restore my DVDs? With a programme in Windows or just setting bios to boot from dvds and then the procedure is automatic? Is the first dvd bootable?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english

Hi buddy,
> so the disks i took backup what is it?
I assume you mean the Toshbia recovery disk. Right?
If yes this disk contains an image of factory settings. That means if you use this disk and install it, you have the same settings as you purchased it. So its called recovery disk / factory settings.
The recovery disk will always work. You can create 10 partition and/or install Linux. The recovery disk will always work and restore factory settings. With this disk you are on the safely side. :)
Furthermore the recovery disk doesnt contain programs that you have installed yourself. You can install what you want but the content on recovery disk is always the same.
> so where is the partition that the toshiba programme made backup???
To be honest this question isnt clear and detailed.
Generally the installed programs from Toshiba dont create a backup autmatically.
If you mean the HDD recovery option, the folder with this content and files is stored on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery. As I already wrote, the files are always the same and have nothing to do with the programs that you install. If you delete this folder, you cant use the HDD recovery option anymore.
And Windows recovery environment has nothing to do with Toshiba. You will find this feature on all Vista and Windows 7 computers. But both versions are completely different.
Last but not least if you want to create a backup of your current settings with all installed applications, tools, etc. you have to use an additional backup software like Acronis True Image. It creates also an image but of your current settings. ;)

Re: Satellite L650/0E8 - Clean install with Windows 7 64bit

Hello.
I have recently purchased a [Toshiba L650/0E8 notebook|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l650/psk1ja-0e8017] and accidentally installed the Windows 7 32-bit version.
I've backed up a "recovery image" of my computer into 4 DVD-R's using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I need to use Adobe Master Collection CS5, but this requires the 64-bit edition in order to use After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5. I've gathered by reading some articles on the net that I have to do a "clean install", but as I've always had a technician set up my computer and have never used a Toshiba laptop before, I am unaware as to how to back up all my files, programs, drivers, etc before I reinstall Windows 7 to a 64-bit version.
Is that what those recovery DVD's do? Is there anywhere I can download the required Toshiba software/drivers for the 64-bit version? I apologise if these questions sound really silly. I am honestly rather confused as to what to do.

Hey,
First of all I must say its good that you created the Toshiba recovery disk as mentioned in user manual. :)
Some other users here forget it because they dont read their user manual.
Anyway, with this disk you can restore the preinstalled Windows version (Windows 7 64bit) with all drivers and tools. That means you dont need any additional drivers and tools from Toshiba, everything will be installed automatically. You get out of box settings back.
But if you use the Toshiba recovery disk it will wipe the whole HDD so you have to make a backup of all your important files that you still need after Windows installation.
Therefore I would recommend an external HDD. They provide a lot of disk space to backup all your data and with some models you get also backup software but you can also use the integrated Windows backup tool, its also nice and works well.
If you have more questions, please let us know! ;)

Have Upgrade Graphic Card Driver, But Still Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness and Sleep Button Not Showing After Clean Installation of Windows 8.1

I have done clean installation of Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion G4.
Then I realize that I cannot put my computer on sleep mode and cannot adjust screen brightness.
I understand that those problems caused by the graphic card driver.
My computer is running on AMD Radeon HD 6400 series.
Thus, I manually search on internet and found a latest graphic card update on microsoft site that is claimed compatible on windows 8.1 (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn344644.aspx).
I've upgraded it into the latest one. I've check on Device Manager, the driver is running well.
But my problem did not solved!
Please give me the solution!

Hi,
How about go to Device Manager, then uninstall Graphic driver and restart your computer, system will install its build in graphic drver. You can have a try.
In addition, access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Brightness and set its value to 100 for test.

[Forum FAQ] How to show Windows Update in Control Panel in Clean Installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

Scenario
If you performed a clean installation of the new Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926, you would find Windows Update is only available in
Settings and is hidden in Control Panel by default. However, Windows Update is still available in Control Panel if it is an upgrade version of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.
Solution
After the comparison of the two different version, the differences is the following registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled
In clean installation version:
In upgrade version:
The method to make Windows Update show in Control Panel in the clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926:
Edit the REG_DWORD value of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled from 1 to 0.

Clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

We’ve seen a few forum posts talking about changing registry keys to alter the update experience we shipped in Technical Preview build 9926. There are a couple of reasons that we don’t recommend doing things like that.
First, the default experience is what we’ve tested across not just the Windows 10 team, but across all of Microsoft before we released it to you. That doesn’t mean that you won’t still find bugs, but it’s definitely the code that’s been most thoroughly
tested. Changing things back to older versions is risky because the combination of those old settings with the rest of Windows 10 is not something that’s been validated or supported, so we can’t predict the side effects. It’s possible that changing registry
settings related to update could cause a machine to no longer be able to get new updates or Technical Preview builds.
The other reason to avoid changing the default update experience is that a lot of update-related code is actually being re-written in order to scale across the variety of different device types Windows 10 will support. Since Technical Previews are
a work-in-progress, some code that may still be in build 9926 won’t actually ship in the final version of Windows 10 that we provide to all our customers, so trying to re-enable that code temporarily won’t provide a way to accurately assess Windows 10’s update
capabilities.
We want to hear your feedback! We’re sharing Technical Preview releases early so we can understand exactly how customers are using our software and make sure we are designing our experiences to address those scenarios. The more
specific the feedback, the more helpful it is for us – saying “I hate the new Windows Update UI” isn’t very useful, but when we see “I need to be able to tell Windows Update to grab updates from WU itself and not from my internal corporate server, so the new
Windows Update UI is painful for me”, we can actually understand what changes we could make to solve those specific problems. We can’t promise to fix everything that everyone asks for – and sometimes what one customer wants is exactly what another customer
doesn’t want – but the more you can help us understand why you want something changed, the better we can try to meet those needs.
Thanks for listening, and we look forward to hearing your responses.

Hi
Check if Wlan card use the Draft N standard.
You can choose this in device manager -> WLan card properties -> Advanced tab
As far as I know the WLan card is Intel 5100AGN.
Check if an WLan driver update would help too

Re: Satellite P200-1FJ - LAN driver for Windows 7 64bit

Can anybody help me for LAN driver for Satellite P200-1FJ? I have Windows 7 64bit, when I ask for this driver in toshiba site, reed "Sorry we couldn't find any drivers matching your search criteria. "

Hi legiadb,
The drivers you can download here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
As you probably already saw, no Windows 7 64bit driver is available so I would recommend testing the Vista 64bit driver.
Does it work on Windows 7?
Alternative check the Realtek page directly ;)

Satellite L500-128 - When can I get Windows 7 drivers?

Hi,
Recently I have bought Satellite L500 with Windows Vista. I hope Toshiba make the Windows 7 drivers soon so I can install Windows 7 Professional on my laptop. Why does it take so long?
Would the drivers come I an few weeks or must we wait till next year?
Greats, from the netherlands!!

Hi Dennis,
First of all Im pretty sure that Toshiba will release Windows 7 for this model because I founded this: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/KBA9A02PX0000R01.htm
I think nobody at the moment can say how long it takes until Toshiba will release the drivers for this model but I can understand that not all drivers can be released on one or two days. I assume Toshiba do test the drivers before they upload them and this takes a little bit but I noticed that every day more and more drivers for Windows 7 will be released so check the Toshiba page from time to time.
Regarding the Windows 7 drivers on the US page its really nice to read that you have founded another model with the same specification so I assume the drives should also work on your model. Im waiting for a feedback from you because Im thinking about buying Satellite L500 for Windows 7 too so it would be very nice to read your experience with the drivers here. :)

Clean installation of windows 8.1 pro on Thinkpad e550 activation problems.

I have installed a SSD hard drive and need a clean instalations of windows for development using multiple platforms.
My plan was to have a tri-boot on three partitions on a mbr formated drive.
-Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit;
-WIndows 8.1 Pro 32bit, and;
-WIndows 7 Ultimate 64bit using downgrade rights.
The following steps were used:
1. Switching the hard drive and cloning the oem copy to the first partition;
2. Activate windows getting the OEM key from the system (so I had no hardware changes);
3.Use the anytime upgrade in the system properties to upgrade to pro;
4.Clone the windows 7 OS from the old PC and place in on a partion;
5.Download both install media for windows 8.1 Pro from MS Creating Install media;
6. Create media as detailed here;
7. Modify the install to allow entry of key after install as shown here because pro license and oem keys where not acepted during install;
8.Went to BIOS. Turned on Legacy and disable secure boot;
9.Install Windows 8.1 both versions, and;
10. Repair boot to load all three OS.
Good, Now I have all three OS installed all working. However, The pro product key will not activate the windows 8.1 pro and the oem key won't be acepted saying it is the wrong version of windows.
So called MS activation line and they say i need to contact the OEM for activation and downgrade keys for 7 even though i paid for the upgrade through the MS store and the product was already activated once on the system.
Questions:
1. How can i activate the Windows 8.1 pro via Lenovo?
2. How can I activate the Windows 7 copy under downgrade rights with Windows 8.1 pro?
3. Am i missing something with the UEFI/BIOS? (Note:I need to use mbr not GPT format on the drive.)
I have switch the UEFI mode/duel modes during install without success.

"Is a Win 7 32 virtual client an option?"
What VC are you using?
I use VMWare Player (free) and use it to create virtual clients as needed. Typically the virtual clients are "clean installs" from ISOs. VMWare has it so well mechanized that there's not much to it.
It's pretty quick and easy to install Player and give it a try. Another advantage to that approach is that there's only a single OS at the top level and backups can capture the whole mess w/out having to deal with 2 or 3 different OSs and their partitions.

No Sound after clean installation of windows 7 from Vista

I had a problem with vista on my Hp dv6809wm laptop. My sound driver kept deleting itself and when I would do a system recovery it suddely worked again, but only for a short while. Eventually it stopped working entirely. Then my next step was an HP driver recovery, which also worked a couple times but then stopped. After a couple weeks I decided to purchase Windows 7 through my school and do a "clean" installation to wipe out everything and start fresh. Well when I finally got done, my sound still doesnt work, and im still getting the red x over the sound icon, I have no sound driver. HP support has no sound drivers for my computer for windows 7 or HP, only 3 for vista, I have tried them all and I get different error messages each time, usually saying driver not found (isnt that the point of downloading it?) or it will say cannot find media something. I have no idea what to do. Please help

There is posibilily for hardware problem, broken sound chip in particular.
Backup all of your data and try HP system recovery, choose factory installed setting.
It will restored all software and drivers as "new" condition.
If it does not fix the sound problem, 100% you have hardware problem.
Installing Win7 wont fix it.

Crash on Startup Satellite L500-128

Hi
Sometimes when I start up my Satellite L500 I experience a blue screen which says that the laptop is automatically restarting to prevent damage to the hardware.
It happens fast so I cannot read all of the text of the message. After the auto reboot the startup is normal.
Problem solver from Windows gives me a hint with regard to these files.

WERInternalMetadata.xml
Does this have anything to do with a bios update?
Regards,
JW

Hello
Usually you can also check the BSOD code in Windows event viewer but disable also the automatic restart on system failure.
If you know the exact BSOD code you can search in the Internet and Microsoft Knowledge Base for detailed explanation.
Usually such bluescreens mean there is a driver or hardware problem.
Also the Toshiba recovery disk can help you to identify the exact problem.

Satellite L500-1WR - Can't find Windows XP drivers

No this model on toshiba site at all and all that I need is to find drivers for Windows XP for this model. Yes L500-1WR comes with preinstalled Windows 7 but I cant find drivers even for Windows 7!
Can anyone give me link to XP drivers?

Hi buddy,
This notebook belongs to PSLS9E series and therefore you can find all drivers and tools here:

As you can see, there are drivers for Windows 7 and XP! :)

Satellite L500 won't load. Windows.stops at x:\windows\system32\drvload

Satellite L500-12T
I've checked other threads for this issue but they have the F8 option during start up, this laptop doesnt have that option.
After turning on the laptop its either press F2 for Setup or F12 to select boot options. I try to load my Windows CD but it doesnt load/read the disk. I also dont know what to troubleshoot on BIOS.
It recognizes all the basic hardware. HDD and CD drive. Ive tried to remove the battery and mouse, then just attach the adapter but I sometimes get "program cannot start press ok to turn off the computer".
Can anyone help me? What are my options to have this fixed / recovered? I cant rely on the phone tech support since the unit is out of warranty.
Any replies would be most welcome. Thanks :)

Hello
Your story is pretty confusing. It is full of different information but we dont know which operating system do you use and has your notebook factory settings or not.
Is there some reason why your notebook acts so strange? Have you done anything that can be responsible for this? Can you start OS or not.
>... sometimes get "program cannot start press ok to turn off the computer".
How to understand sometimes? Which program? What happen when you press power button?
Sorry but I dont know how to understand all this and start with discussion.
Missing F8 option is also very confusing.
Try please to set BIOS to default settings and try to start OS again.

How to do a clean installation of windows 7 on hp touchsmart 300-1000

My hard drive recently crashed in my touchsmart 300. I have purchased a new one but when I insert the installation cd it shortly freezes on starting windows screen right after it installs the windows files for the first time. I have recently read threads about this and saw the safe mode option and disabling the video driver but I can not get to that screen. After I hit any key to boot from dvd i tap F8 and it starts loading windows files, then when it is done it gives me the option to run in safe mode then installs files and freezes again. Can somebody please help me!!!! I am going on over a week straight trying to fix this. Thanks

The title says Windows 7 but the description of what is used to start does not sound right. According to this PDF for the model posted: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03472361.pdf
Go to page 56 under "Starting system recovery from user-created recovery discs
This section contains the procedure for performing a system recovery from the recovery discs you created"
If Windows 7 is installed, the F8 should get the user into Safe Mode. Remove the Recovery DVD from the DVD drive before this action is done. What happens now?

Satellite L600-01B - Where to get Windows 7 64bit drivers?

Hello Toshiba
I bought a Satellite L600-01B while on a trip to China. It came with a horrible Chinese only edition of Windows7. So I installed a clean new copy of Windows 7 64bit ultimate. However I am having trouble in finding the device drivers for it. The nearest model on the Toshiba UK site appears to be the L630. I have installed all drivers I could find there, but still, in the Device Manager one device shows without a driver "PCI Simple Communications Controller".
What is this? Where can i get the driver from?
Thanks

I installed the 'intel management engine interface' from here and that seemed to do the trick.

First of all have a look into this doc if you are a beginner. It would give a an overview of all the peoplesoft components and the order in which they are installed. After you have read it thoroughly, you would find yourself standing somewhere towards the peoplesoft installation.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26530_01/psft/acrobat/PeopleTools_8.52_GettingStartedPeopleSoftInstallation.pdf|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26530_01/psft/acrobat/PeopleTools_8.52_GettingStartedPeopleSoftInstallation.pdf
After that, just download Oracle virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and Microsoft windows server 2008 R2 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd459137.aspx . and then,
Install Oracle virtualbox on you windows 7, create a virtual machine(Follow the virtual box documentation).
Install Windows server 2008 R2 on that virtual machine.
Now you have perfect environments for your peoplesoft installation.
