Satellite M40: installing Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my Satellite M40 (PSM40A-03K009) to Windows 7 Home Premium but towards the end of the installation, my notebook reboots and freezes up trying to start Windows 7.
I've rebooted in safe mode and it seems to be getting stuck loading \windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys.
I've tried everything I can think of: running start-up repair on installation disk, installing latest versions of drivers, updating BIOS, reformatting disk, etc but nothing seems to work.
Can anybody help?
Cheers
Rob

Thanks for your thoughts.
You're both probably right about it being too old (although it does have a 2GHz processor & 2GB RAM) but I thought it worth a try as I have a spare copy of Windows 7 and much prefer it to XP (I have it running on my newer Toshiba laptop).
I'll try a couple more things then restore XP if I can'?t crack the problem.
Any idea what CLASSPNP.SYS is meant to be controlling? It seems to have something to do with SCSI controller but I don'?t think this pc has any SCSI devices.
Cheers, Rob

Hello
> I INSTALL WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM USING TOSHIBA PRODUCT RECOVERY DISK
I doubt you have installed Windows 7 from Toshiba recovery disk
As far as I know Satellite L300 was only delivered with Vista or XP. Satellite L300 wasnt on the market anymore at Windows 7 was released.
I think you have to buy an official Windows 7 disk with product key. Such Windows 7 installation is genuine and you will not have any problems.

I have a 2008 iMac with Bootcamp 5.0 and I am trying to install windows 7 home premium 64 bit on it. How do I go about this?

I have been having trouble installing Windows 7 Home Premium on my 2008 iMac while using BootCamp. It has OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. Every time I try and use bootcamp I come across a blank black screen with a flashing white curser in the top left hand corner after it has restarted. If anyone knows a solution to this that would be great.

Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243)

Unable to install windows 7 home premium updates error code 643 (KB 954430, KB973688 & KB2538243) - Please help me!!
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad E530. This laptop is only brands new.
KB954430, KB973688 & KB2538243 - These three updates keep giving me problems. In Windows Update, under "view update history" these keep showing up as failed. I also get the error, "Code 643".
At the end of the installation it tells me three updates are failed to be installed and when I shut down to try to update, Windows always configures up to ~15%, then fails, and reverts changes, then prompts me to install updates the next time I turn my computer on. Each time, I have to re-install every update that I had installed prior to shutting down.
I went through Trouble shooter - "Fix it" numerous times, Repaired Net framework profile and also followed few instructions I found from the net such as running "Reset Register Windows update Components" but nothing works so far.
I even tried manually installing KB954430 but it told me "An error occurred during the installation of assembly component. 7B30B69B-OE6C-B7EO-A06B-D6B9ABF34537 HR RESULT: 0 x 80070BC9" and the installation bar seems to stop at "Publishing Product information", then rolls back the installation.
If you need more details, please tell me & Thanks in advance

How to Install Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit) with No legacy option in BIOS setting. Just UEFI. in Acer Aspire E1-410 ?

I just broke my older Acer Aspire 4752G.
I just backup entire Partition my Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit) with Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium.
intend to restore in this brand new Acer Aspire E1-410.
Acer Aspire E1-410 don't have Legacy Option only UEFI
Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium fully support EUFI but alas my Original Windows don't boot
So I intend to use repair BootRec command prompt
These CD Windows won't detect in these Acer
So I call Acer Technical Support They said :
there is NO OTHER WAY to change this UEFI to LEGACY MODE (Build-in Bios mode CANNOT change other than UEFI)
you must install via DVD who FULLY SUPPORT UEFI -> Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 (ONLY in x64bit mode).
I hope you can resolve these for me.
Thank you.

It is possible to install Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit from DVD to a UEFI based hardware, but must be done using an answer file. It may or may not work if you are using a recovery DVD. Either way, the OS is not supported on that hardware.
Windows 8 32bit is supported on UEFI hardware.
The problem with Win7 32bit on UEFI is a problem in the bootloader. The OS cannot boot because the bootloader cannot find the OS. I had suspected it may be possible to get the OS to boot by using BCDBoot, but since it isn't supported I have not put in any
effort to determine the method of doing it.

Satellite A665-S6050 Windows 7 Home Premium Memory Upgrade will not boot

Hope there might be a clue to assist.
Checked Toshiba support for recommended memory to upgrade from 2X2GB to 2X4GB. Ordered Kingston KTT-S3BS/4G x 2 as recommended. BIOS recognizes the memory, but Windows will not boot. Tried Safe Mode and hangs after a few seconds. Tried Repair Computer, also hangs after a few seconds. Put original memory back in and it boots fine. There was a brief flash of a blue screen once, but no dump file to be found.
To me it seems as ifthe issue is Windows, but I do not know enough about this to say definitively. Just based on the percieved behavior when Windows trys to boot (hanging).
Any ideas appreciated before I go through return and try something else.
Thanks.
Toshiba Satellite A665-S6050
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

he ordered from Toshiba and there memory did not work ... the kit he ordered was the one recommended for his laptop from Toshiba and ordered from Toshiba
Yes he did. But he ordered the Kingston memory that Toshiba recommended as he said...
Checked Toshiba support for recommended memory to upgrade from 2X2GB to 2X4GB. Ordered Kingston KTT-S3BS/4G x 2 as recommended. ... I tried both of the Kingston modules recommended and neither worked.
I'm suggesting that he try the Toshiba part number (PA3677U-1M4G) suggested in the spec, which is made by Axiom.

Installing windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, cannot complete installation

Hello,
I am currently trying to install a genuine windows 7 home premium copy on my iMac 27" using boot camp assistant 3.0.1 on a new partition. Partition is correctly made, installation proccess was smooth but when windows restarted to complete installation everything goes black. When I use safe mode it tells me that windows cannot complete installation on safe mode, and prompt me to reboot and start windows normally. The windows logo appears again but then everything goes black. I removed the partition and repartititoned the disk with boot camp, and tried installing again. Now it's been about half an hour and after the installation reboot, and the screen is black.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Sorry,
Is this an edu download ISO that you burned to DVD yourself, or retail copy?
No reason to redo partition, when / if you do boot 7 HP, you can always just do clean install, there is nothing wrong with the partitions.
There definitely are problems with 27" iMac and Windows 7 support, and BC 3.0 came out last... July actually, so almost a year, and before RTM (even though "frozen" W7 went through some major changes later).
The worst scenario is when BCA freezes or is killed, that can leave the entire drive and Mac OS inoperable (backups are imperative).
So if you burned the DVD yourself and used Disk Utility, reburn at reduced (2x) speed is all I can think of.
More problems await you AFTER 7 is installed and Apple Boot Camp drivers mess things up again!

Install 7 iMac 27": Graphic driver glitch

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imac so I could install Windows 7 Home Premium and had no trouble everthing is working fine the only question I have is is there a benefit to migrating the 2 together and what happens when I do Thanks. Ricco

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imack so I could install Windows 7 Home Premiumwith no problem and everthing is working fine, and I was thinking of Migrating the 2 2 and was wondering what benefits there would be and what happens when I do.

Windows 7 will peer down through the VM and remember what hardware the VM is installed on. Migrate the VM to different Mac hardware, and on first boot, Windows 7 will advise you that you are not using genuine Microsoft Windows. It will then treat you as though it believes you misappropriated it.

Satellite A350D-005- Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and Burning

Hi. I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite A350D (PSALEC-005004). It has a 64 bit processor running vista home premium 64 bit. I have never been able to successfully burn a cd or a dvd. I have tried nero 7, 8 and 9, along with Roxio Easy Media Creator 10, along with a few other various software. Nero ends up in it haulting around 10%, then eventually saying that the burning process has failed, resulting in me either having to turn the computer off to remove the wasted disc or if im using my external burner i have to turn it off then back on. When I use Roxio it seems like its going to burn until the end, where it seems to hault again. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this problem?

Okay, I tried burning a CD and DVD using Vista's built-in software, and it says this after attempting: "There was an error burning the disc. The disc may no longer be usable." I have no clue as to why the computer will not let me burn using any program. I have tried using my external Sony DVD burner that works on my 32 bit system, and it wont work on this 64 bit machine either. Any suggestions as what to try next?
Also, whenever it decides to quit burning, the burner seems to keep going and wont stop unless I shut the computer off (for the internal burner) or Turn off the power to the external burner. It also disappears from the list under the "Computer (My Computer)" section.

Error 0x6 when installing windows 7 home premium onto windows xp

So i downloaded the college priced Windows 7 that i bought from microsoft. I know there was a issue with everyone not getting a ISO file, they got 3 seperate files (setup2.box setup1.box and Win7-HP...) I then followed the steps microsoft gave to make those into a ISO file and to burn it onto a dvd. But whether i try to install from the desktop or from the dvd, when in the "backing up files" first part of the install, the error "0x6" pops up. What is this ? How can i fix this?

This is how I got around Ox6 problem.   My computer had XP for many years and must have collected lots of junk along the way. After all the backups of personal file, I did clean reinstall of Xp (including the formatting of the disk).  Basic
Xp installed without any updates and all.   Then I went to Windows 7 install. Here also I did the custom install so that nothing is lingering from the XP installation.
Another tip.   On my hard drive I had two partition. C drive with 10Gb and D drive with the rest.   Windows 7 got installed on C.   When I went into do windows updates the space was not sufficient on C drive.
The total space needed was greater than 10 Gb.   Therefore I went back one more time for the installation.   During the custom installation you have the option to delete that C drive and make it one drive. Now I have one drive and
insufficint space on C does comeup.

Can't Install Windows 7 Home Premium on my new Pavilion dv6

Well guys I have a serious problem here. I recently bought myself a new HP notebook and as I took a first glance at all the unnecessary programs and applications that were allready installed I decided to reinstall windows from the start. So i downloaded a free Windows 7 Trial and burnt the image to a dvd. I thought I could activate the trial later on with my genuine Windows 7 key on the back of my notebook. But the win7 setup didn't even get me that far! After that I had formated the HDD during the setup process it just get's to "finishing installation". This is where the following error message pops up:
"Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"
All I can do here is just click "ok". Then the computer reboots and it says "the windows installation wasn't finished before" or so..
Please, please help me! I have no idea how to solve this problem! Could maybe a hp employee help me out?
This is my product:
HP Pavilion dv6-7145ez (B8G15EA)

I thank everybody for solutions

Hi:
Try using this free partitioning and formatting software on your C:\ drive first.
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Did you use this method of making a W7 DVD that I have posted for dozens of users who have all gotten W7 to install this way?
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
