Tecra Z40 - 2 Windows 8.1 Pro DVDs - No DVD reader

Hi.
I just got a nice Toshiba Tecra Z40. I want to install Widows 8.1 and according to the instructions I have to boot on the DVDs that were supplied.
There is one problem. *The laptop does not have an optical drive, so I can't boot from the DVD.*
I tried to access the DVD over the network (my other windows computer has an optical drive), but there is no usable program on the DVD.
Please help

According notebook specification your Tecra was delivered with preinstalled Win7 and additional Win8.1 recovery DVDs.
Before you do anything create recovery USB stick using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator.
Win8.1 you can install using bootable Win8.1 recovery discs.
What you need is external USB optical disc drive. Such USB ODD is not expensive. Buy one and you can use it for Win8.1 installation but also in many other situations.
Two years ago I bought external USB BD ODD for 45 Euros. I also borrowed it to my friend with the same situation. He got Satellite U940 without optical disc drive.

  • Can I install Windows 8.1 Pro on a H520g?

    Hi, 
    I have a Lenovo H520g desktop which came with Windows 8 Single Language installed. The machine is currently updated to Windows 8.1.
    As I am a software developer, I need to update my desktop to Windows 8.1 Pro. In order to do that, I want to buy the full retail version of Windows 8.1 Pro on a DVD. Will I be able to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my computer? Will that void the Lenovo warranty?
    As the full retail DVD of Windows 8.1 Pro is expensive here in Brazil (about US$ 320), I must be absolutely sure I'll be able to install it on my H520g desktop before buying it.
    P.S.: I know I could also update to Windows 8.1 Pro by using the "Add feature" item on the Windows 8.1 Control Panel. But I prefer to do buy the full retail DVD of Windows 8.1 Pro.
    Cheers,

  • Clean Windows 8.1 Pro install over Windows 8.1 SL

    Hi,
    I have a Lenovo H520g desktop, which came with Windows 8 Single Language installed. The machine is currently updated to Windows 8.1 Single Language.
    As I am a software developer, I need to use Windows 8.1 Pro, because the SL version doesn't have Hyper-V, which is necessary to run the Windows Phone SDK emulator.
    For the reason explained above, I would like hear the advice of an official Microsoft representative on the matter discussed on this topic.
    I do know I can update from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Pro by using the "Add features to Windows 8.1" item on the Windows 8.1 Control Panel and buying the Windows 8,.1 Pro Pack. Nevertheless, I prefer buying the full retail version of Windows 8.1
    Pro on a DVD from a local Microsoft reseller. I need a quick way to restore my machine in the case of a HDD failure and having the full retail DVD is definitely the best way to do that. If I upgrade by buying the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack, should my HDD ever failure,
    I'll have to do the Lenovo restore procedure (which would restore the computer to Windows 8 SL), then upgrade to Windows 8.1 and only after that I could apply the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack. 
    My question is: will I be able to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my computer? Of course I'm aware I'll have to delete the partition Windows 8.1 is currently installed on. No problem with that.
    But what about the license key? I've read that computers that come with Windows 8 pre-installed have the Windows license key embedded on the BIOS. Will I be able to start the standard Windows 8.1 Pro installation from the DVD and use the license key that comes
    with the DVD?
    It's very important for me being absolutely sure I'll be able to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my Lenovo desktop. The Windows 8.1 Pro full retail DVD is rather expensive here in Brazil (about US$ 320).
    Cheers,

    Hi PauloBR1,
    If you upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro by Windows 8.1 Pro Pack,you can use
    System Image Backup feature to backup your system.Also,you can use this feature to restore your system quickly.
    In addition,britishdhez is right.
    We can use the Retail license key to active the Windows 8.1 Pro.

  • Yoga 2 Pro : BIOS Update on a clean Windows 8.1 Pro install

    Hi,
    I recently bought the Yoga 2 Pro. Like everybody I have the yellow problem.
    After buying it, I reinstalled my computer with a fresh Windows 8.1 pro install.
    I was wondering if anybody has already tried updating the BIOS on a clean Windows 8.1 install ?
    And also if there is any reported bug with the BIOS update.
    I already crashed a while back one of my previous computer and I would prefer if this don't append again
    Thanks,
    Best,

    Not, i'm speaking about the BIOS update. The windows 8.1 pro installation was fine.

  • Aspect ratio problem in Windows Media Player for DVD from DVD Studio Pro

    So I made a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and it looks good in Apple's DVD Player, on an Insignia DVD player appliance and on Playstation 2. Both the movie and the deleted scene were 16:9 from camera to Final Cut Pro and they show that way in all these players.
    But on Windows Media Player for Windows XP, the program thinks the movie is 4:3 and the deleted scene is 16:9. Nero's Showtime has the same exact behavior, but at least you can force aspect ratio on Nero.
    Besides being longer, the movie is different from the deleted scene in that the movie was originally out of Final Cut Express on an older Mac and it was encoded big endian. The deleted scene was output from Final Cut Pro and encoded little endian. I didn't think it would make a difference, but I tried outputting the movie from Final Cut Pro on the newer Mac and it did come out little endian. I took that into DVD Studio Pro, got rid of the old VIDEO_TS folder and re-built the project, burnt a new DVD. Then I went back to Windows and...
    ...the same exact problem. Some of the people I give this DVD to will be using Windows Media Player to view it, which is why I want this to not be an issue at all. What am I overlooking?

    Look, everyone here (who each have been creating DVDs for over a decade) is telling you the same story. WMP is buggy. Everyone in the industry knows that. Hardware manufacturers like Dell and HP, know that. Why don't you use the DVD player program that they put on the hard drive? Sure one "Hollywood" title works. Did I mention that WMP is buggy? Test a thousand titles, and I'm certain that you will find some discs have problems on WMP, and WMP alone. (And it isn't my assertion that Hollywood DVDs have issues in WMP, everyone is telling you that.) No one has a solution for this, except to not use WMP. Let me repeat once again, no one has a solution for this except to not use WMP. It is impossible to add any sort of programming to the disc that will detect which player is being used to play the disc and compensate for the problems of that player.
    Let me put it this way, if you have a disc that plays fine on Zeus's device, and on Apollo's device, and on Hera's device, and on Hermes' device, and on Artemis' device, but you have problems with Athena's device, then logically, Athena's device has a problem... not the disc. Your own experience has proved this to be true. If you were having problems with every device used, THEN you could rightfully say that there is a problem with the disc.

  • I cant make a bootable (usb/dvd) for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

    right now i am using windows 8.1 pro 32 bit ,, want to change to 64 bit   , my CPU is 64 bit  and i have 4 GB ram (i know i should have more ram ,, but i dont do this upgrade for the ram  , but because some emulators , and some application
    ask 64 bit) so i used every possible way on my computer , using windows 7 download tool , rufus , etc programs to make the usb  , imgburn for dvd , i did from a friends computer that is windows 8.1 pro 64 bit ,, but nothing everything DOESN'T work  ,
    all  32 bit editions boot and install just perfect (created by my computer ) so its not a computer problem  ,, when i put the media on my computer (dvd/usb) and restart and boot on it ,, its shows me the windows logo ,, after 20 seconds (too much)
    it shows the ring , and then it reboots the computer (2/10 tries it manages to go in the language selection screen ,, but when i click next  ,, and then i click install now button ,, it reboots again) what is going wrong , and how can i fix it (where
    should i make that bootable media ?) i have bought the windows from dreamspark ,, so i use a official iso and serial key 

    Hi,
    This is not license problem, in my opinion, it's more relate with hardware and their driver problem.
    Firstly, it would be better to contact the manufacture to identify if your computer support Windows 8.1 X64 edition.
    Secondly, if your former system was not removed, try to access into the system and upgrade BIOS editon, after that, try to reinstall the system again for test.

  • Install Windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive

    It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

    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:

    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)

  • How to install Windows 8.1 Pro on Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone,
         I'm new to these forums and new to bootcamping as well but have been reading all kinds of posts about how to install Windows 8.1 on their Macs using bootcamp. I am however having trouble with this situation as I have no clue what to do next. I have a Macbook Pro 2011, running on Maverics, and I recently downloaded a digital copy of Windows 8.1 Pro, 64-bit, for the Mac platform, along with its CD key through my University's hub website as can be seen here.
    After finishing the downloading process, I received this file which is about 4GB large.
    When i double click on the file this happens. It opens something on DEVICES which gives me what is on the 2nd image.
    At this point, I'm at a loss on what to do next. Do i burn the file on a DVD hoping that Bootcamp will recognize it as a windows disc? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

    You need a 'Full' Installer.

This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.
    Can I perform an upgrade install from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?
    It's not possible to upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows. Back up your important files, then perform a new install of the 64-bit version of Windows.

  • How I Managed to Install Windows 8.1 Pro on an iMac 27-inch, Late 2013

    As is typical with many of my Boot Camp installs, this one did *not* goes as smoothly as planned. This installation was particularly troublesome, so I thought I would share how I managed to set up Boot Camp on a brand new iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) using a Windows 8.1 Pro DVD and an external Apple SuperDrive. These are the steps I took:
    Download Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1721)
    Copy Boot Camp Support Software to empty MS-DOS (FAT)-formatted USB key
    Run Boot Camp Assistant and select third option only (Install Windows 7 or later version)
    Computer would reboot after Boot Camp Assistant finished but would boot back into Mac environment and not continue Windows installation
    Boot computer holding down option key and select Windows (with DVD icon) and go through initial setup process (could go as  far as trying to format Boot Camp partition as NTFS and then got stuck)
    Quit Windows installer and reboot computer holding down option key and select EFI Boot
    Run Windows installer
    These same steps worked for another iMac (same model) that I set up later the same day.

    Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
    DVD movies.
    Audio CDs.
    Copy protected discs such as game discs.
    Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
    Burn a CD or DVD

  • 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.

  • As soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down

    Linc,
    You keep showing up when I search for this problem so I hope you can help.
    I'm having the same issue in Premiere and Media Encoder (but not After Effects). My Mac just restarts itself as soon as video is loaded. I can start Premiere and open a project and go through relinking media, but as soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down.
    I've fixed the problem temporarily two times. The first time I was troubleshooting what was wrong and wound up putting in my old video card and after that fixed the problem, I switched back to my GTX 680. I also did a driver update. After doing that I was ok for a few days so I figured it was a driver thing or maybe the card just needed to be reseated. Then when it started acting up again I figured something was going on.
    So I started searching again and came across one of your posts that recommended removing CUDA. I did that and it worked perfectly for a week until about 20 minutes ago. Crashed in the middle of an edit and now each time I restart Premiere it crashes as soon as video touches my monitors.
    I found this post because I specifically searched for "com.nvidia.web.NVDAResmanWeb(8.2.7)" from my Problem Report.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
