Trouble deleting partions.... Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010

I have a new Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010. It can with Win 7 installed. I hate Win 7 so I want to install Win XP 64Bit Sp2. I have put the DVD into the drive (and set BIOS to compatible mode). I get to the windows set-up screen were you can del or create partitions and tell it were you want to install Windows. There are currently 3 partitions listed:
1) 1.5 GB System partition
2) 240 GB Main partition
3) 300 MB (unknown partition)
I tried to del partition 1 and it won't let me. Why ??? then I tried to create a partition within the 240 GB main partition and it said ok ... but then when I tried to format the partition it said "Denied" why ???
I want to del ALL partions and create a couple new ones ... why cant I ?? it seems like they are locked somehow but I have never seen that before ... ??
Please advise me on what to do to del the partitions (via windows setup)
Thanks !!
John

that is all the recovery partitions. make a set of recovery media using the recovery media creator program on the laptop. for 2 reasons.
1.incase xp wont run correctly you can get your system back up and running.
2. you can use the media to completely wipe the hdd.
then you will have a completely clean hdd to start from.

Troubles with sound - Toshiba Satellite C670-13D

The following problem occures to my laptop: every 30 minutes after playing music trough the external amplifier my players crash and I can't launch the music again untill I restart the Windows. Also all the links to the music database crash, too. It occures in cases I was using internal soundcard and external USB soundcard. It never occured to the other laptops with the same amplifier. How can it be explained or fixed?

Are you sure you don't have the speaker muted?
Did you try turning the volume control dial up? That is often times overlooked.
Try going into Device Manager and uninstalling the audio devices then reboot the system to have Windows automatically re-install them. DO NOT re-install the drivers manually. You have to let Windows do it.
Let us know if any of these work or not. And be sure to post your COMPLETE model number (and part number if this is NOT a USA model).
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Satellite P505 S8950 laptop shutting down with bluescreen error message

Hi ,
I bought Toshiba Satellite P505-S8950 model 4 months ago.
I notice my laptop shuts down intermitently while straming videos especiaaly in 'full screen' mode and while using skype with video chat.
My laptop is still under warranty and I have not created any back up since I bought.Now,
Because system is unstable so doing back up now may not be useful.
After every restart I have meesage 'computer has recovered from unexpected shutdown' and upon allowing Windows to find solution nothing comes up.
copy +paste of one of error log-
***Problem signature:***
***Problem Event Name: BlueScreen***
***OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3***

I am running windows 7 home edition premium with 64 bit and RAM test after every restart is good so far.
Please can anybody help to the system stable and help my experience while browsing more enjoyable?
Thanks.

I have European Satellite P500 almost 2 months now and use it with original preinstalled Win7 home premium 64bit. I use it daily for work and some multimedia activities. I also use Skype almost daily.
Until now I didnt notice any similar problem.
It is not easy to discuss about such problems because none of us know how you have configured preinstalled OS, which applications do you use and if there is some software conflict that can be responsible for this.
Have you installed something that can be responsible for this behaviour?
To be honest I cannot imagine you have had this problem from the first day. Maybe you should install recovery image again using HDD recovery option.
I dont know what kind of back-up do you mean but what you can do is to start recovery DVD creation.

Toshiba Satellite A100-912 Function Keys

Hi there,
Was anyone able to use function keys with any Satellite A100 ? Or at least control the brightness of LCD ?
Thx

Hi Eragon,
I have been having a lot of trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A50, but I have nearly got things working.
Here are some steps you should go through.
1) Update your kernel to 2.6.20-7 (sudo pacman -Sy kernel26)
2) Install acpi (sudo pacman -S acpi acpid)
3) Set the acpi daemon to run at startup (sudo nano /etc/rc.conf and add acpid to your daemons)
4) In the rc.conf file, add toshiba_acpi to the MODULES=() section.
5) Restart, OR manually sudo /etc/rc.d/acpid start and sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi
6) Download, install and configure FnFX
Other tips:
- acpi_listen is a good tool to use for monitoring / setting up function keys
- use dmesg if modprobing doesn't work to try and find errors
- the program 'keytouch' is good for keys (so I am told, I am trying to use it, but having difficulty doing everything I want. It looks as thought it should be easy so you may have more luck)
- there is a great guide in the gentoo wiki for setting up media keys (just googe linux media keys and you will probably find it)
- forums and the IRC are your friend. i am greatful to all the people who helped me setting up my laptop

Satellite P505 black screen only on startup

I know there are a lot of black screen posts but I cannot find anything with quite the same problem we are facing. We have a satellite P505-S8980 that only has trouble booting after it has been turned off for the night (or at least a good few hours). No problems with sleep, hibernate etc.
The system boots, we see the Toshiba screen, but where the login screen should be is a black screen with no cursor. An external screen plugged in shows the login screen. After 3 or 4 restarts the screen works as normal.
Have tested the memory and the hard drive extensively and they also work perfectly in another P505. Any advice would be very much appreciated, the machine is great apart from this new problem.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks Peter for your reply, I have been through both of those links before without any luck.
We have done a complete factory restore on this computer, tried the bios reset and all other listed suggestions. There doesn't seem to be any error associated with this, as windows actually starts, then the screen goes black at the user login page.

Toshiba Satellite L655-S5106
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Received brand new 3 years ago but rarely used. About 6 months ago, I received what most people are calling the BSOD. Never bothered to fix it at that time, but occasionally searched the internet for all the possible solutions. Still BSOD. Purchased from Toshiba the Recovery Media for the L650 Series (3-disc set). Inserted Disc 1 and tried to boot from CD. pressing "C" key. Still BSOD. For no reason, tried the F2, F8, F10, F12, and "0" key as well but still BSOD.
Don't know if this info is relevant or not, but the BSOD or trouble happened after the computer ran out of power while unattended with a DVD in the drive.
Also, (irrelevant or not) when trying to reboot laptop using "F" keys or "0", the laptop will turn on, fan will turn on, and then fan will turn off immediately. With the Recovery media in the drive, the fan turns on and stays on, but still BSOD. Same thing happens whether the battery pack is connected or not.
Very little knowledge with Windows OS and computers. Didn't know at the time 3 years ago that the OS was already installed and came without CDs, and didn't know that I had to make a recovery CD in case of situations like these.
What is my next move? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Updated to show instructions and pictures 8-24-2014
Instructions for changeing to from Windows 8 to windows 7.
INSTRUCTIONS:
First - Burn recovery media before you make any changes! -You may want or need to go back to windows 8 later-
Update BIOS to newest bios version, the C55 and possibly other models will not support CSM boot mode with the older bios versions.
Second -
Important Bios changes when changing from Windows 8 to Windows 7:
Completely shut down laptop (Shut down Windows 8 while pressing the Shift key to completely power off.) then restart computer and hold f2 when the screen goes black and wait for the bios setup utility to launch.
Select advanced, then system configuration, then boot mode
UEFI and CSM or legacy (UEFI for Windows 8 and CSM or legacy for windows 7)
For windows 7 change to CSM or Legacy mode.
Third - Also in bios setup utility select - Security, then Secure Boot, then you have to disable secure boot for windows 7.
You will need to delete all partitions before installing windows 7 this is done forth step.
Forth - Insert your windows 7 disc and select custom install, your partitions should show up - click on each one and below you will see advanced drive options, click that and you will have options to format - format each one, then delete each one. You will be left with one raw partition, select to install and windows will do the rest while installing the operating system.
Fifth - install drivers
Installation order is important:
Install chipset driver then video driver before other drivers. Then install Toshiba Value added package before other applications
-See attached pictures that show installed applications-

Toshiba Satellite C40T-ASP4268FM Recovery messed up, windows 8 re install

I bought this laptop Toshiba Satellite C40T-ASP4268FM, practically new, plastic protectors still attached. Tried to remove microsoft account by factory reset, because there is no other way to delete one. After that it asked me to check and restore windows and froze on 40% after several attempts I somehow managed to get back on windows, but then after shutdown froze after welcome screen. I decided to install linux,it prompted a message that I could not install it. I tried to go back to windows 8, I have a DVD with an ISO I downloaded from Microsoft page before the release of 8.1, but I can´t install it because is a wrong Key. So I assume It would be the same with windows 8.1. It does not boot a DVD with windows 7, So I pretty much ended up with an expensive paper weight. How can I re install windows 8? I'm Mexican and so is the laptop.

CD/DVD player not working (Toshiba Satellite L875d-S7232)

I purchased a (Toshiba Satellite L875d-S7232) on August 17, 2012 from a major retailer. Recently, the CD/DVD player will not play, or even recognize, commercially produced DVD movies. As a consequence, I cannot rent or buy movie DVDs, nor will any of the DVDs in my library work now. The DVD player in this Satellite is TSST SN-208AB.
What happens is that when you put a movie DVD in the machine, the light goes on 4 times, but the DVD player never spins up and starts playing. In the explorer, the CD/DVD icon is there, but when you try to "open" the DVD player it never spins up and a green bar goes, very slowly, across the top of the window.
The player has no trouble with audio CDs.
I have spent about 10 hours on this problem now. What I have tried followed all of the standard "fixes" for this specific problem on this specific machine and the correct OS (Windows 7 Home Premium). None of the standard fixes fixed anything.
In Brief :
1. I uninstalled all programs which use the DVD player, except for the standard suite that came with the computer at time of purchase. Also, uninstalled all CODEC packages that were not part of the original suite.
2. Uninstalled the CD/DVD device and driver, as instructed, and the device and driver were automatically reinstalled. Did a full power cycle (including removal of the battery). I've done this solution about 4 times.
3. Looked in the registry for a possible filter driver issue. There was none.
4. Used Microsoft "Fix It" program, which discovered "a problem" but had no description of the problem or a reference to a fix.
5. Ran the device driver update check, toshiba service station check, microsoft update check. All files are up to date and the correct file.
6. Ran system files check, HDD corruption check. No problems reported.
Nothing done so far has moderated or altered the behavior in any way. Moreover, I have noted dozens and dozens of people on the internet in different forums with the same problem. What this means is that Toshiba is losing market share bigtime on this one.
Any fix would be appreciated.

Hi Sense no one has replied, I will offer my 2 cents. DVD drives wear out and they also get dirty. You could try to clean it with compressed air. DVD drives are fairly cheap and very easy to replace.

Owner's Manual for my Toshiba Satellite L755D laptop?

I would like to d/l the owner's manual (and a service manual, if there is one) for my laptop (L755D-S5218). I didn't find it at the Toshiba site, and even their own "auto-detect utility" was run, but then the website said there isn't any product like that or something of the sort.
Can anyone get me a link to this manual? The latpop itself isn't even a year old; I'm surprised that I'm having this much trouble.

Where can i find the sound driver for my Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970 ?
Please help me.
Thanks

If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.

Microphone not working since Windows 7 clean install: Satellite P505-S8980

Ever since I reinstalled Windows 7 on my Satellite P505-S8980 laptop the microphone with the webcam has not worked. Has anyone else experienced this and resolved it? I am unable to chat with friends and family through Google hangouts, which is a little disappointing.
I've unsinstalled and reinstalled the drivers, checked all settings, tried to find updated drivers, etc., but with no luck.
Any help is appreciated.
Possibly helpful info:
Model P505-S8980
No modifications to hardware (original hard drive, etc.)
Running Windows 7 64 bit. Clean install, NOT from Toshiba restore disk or similar utility.

Satellite P505-S8980
The order of installing drivers is problematic. Best to restore the hard disk to the original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide.

Toshiba Satellite L870-177 graphics card change?

A question about the Toshiba Satellite L870-177
Can you replace the graphics card in the laptop?
Currently, an AMD Radeon HD 7670M, 1GB, HDMI is inside and find this a bit .... modest, so I would like to replace it with a better
is that possible? Have often read in other forums that you can not replace graphics card, so the question

To elaborate for others what you hopefully already knew about your setup.
Alot more trouble than it's worth since the GPU is name brand but frequently customized for the PC maker and even further customized for the particular chipset / cpu setup.
Tampering with those values is possible to varying degrees using purpose built LINUX distro's however the modifications are community based and anecdotal without manufacturers validation, the alterations can be damaging and Toshiba will be unsympathetic for rendering warranty assistance if they detect your alterations.
And that is why the process won't be as simple as upgrading a desktop GPU with a compatible boxed CPU.
I applaud your question and I'll spare you from elaborating why you want better graphics or which games you're unsatisfied playing since your dis-satisfaction and performance desires are uniquely your own.
Before you consider the tempting unsupported mod's I mentioned, you want to ensure your AMD's turbo is running full speed in the overclocked but unsupported manner AMD's are famous for and should determine if your games perform satisfactorily by overclocking the CPU's clock.
In respect for Toshiba, I'll avoid linking to the sites that describe overclocking AMD's since I personally find it unnecessary and the web has endless pages on the matter that you can assess yourself.
AS you suspect, overclocking assassinates your warranty but a gaming purist such as yourself already knows this and is unconcerned about warranties when striving for the best gaming experience possible.
Ask your question often enough and it will invite challenges as to why you find the card insufficient and eventually raise contemptuous advice to just live with it and tamper your expectations.
I refuse to pass judgement since your computer is yours and you're free to squeeze all the performance you can as long as you remain aware of your responsibilities when doing so.

Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 wont let me download

I just got a new Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 yesterday, and I downloaded a couple of programs already, then I had trouble downloading a few:
iTunes
MapleStory
Sony Vegas 8
There's different problems with each program, But iTunes and Sony Vegas always run the same;
They open, ask run or cancel, and when I press run, this window pops up.
With Maplestory, it opens, extracts the file, THEN the same window pops up. I don`t know what I did. My brother has a Toshiba with Windows 7 too and it works perfectly fine for him.
I`ve searched all day long, and nothing works. Running as administrator does nothing, it still happens. I would reformat or clear my hard drive, but I didn`t get a disk to reinstall Windows 7 onto my laptop.
Any Solutions?

Sony Vegas Pro 8 doesn't run under Windows 7 according to Sony. Only version 9 runs under WIn 7 so that takes care of that.
What version of iTunes?
Have you checked with Maplestory or Apple about what you need to run their software on WIndows 7?

My Toshiba satellite takes too long to boot up

Since the system is brand new, Jonathan, I would probably return the hard disk to factory new. If there are still troubles, you know that software does not cause them. See the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide.

when I boot up in safe mode it is just about instant.
If you prefer to start troubleshooting, see what happens when you boot clean.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe).
   2. On the General tab, click Selective startup and clear the Load startup items check box.
   3. On the Services tab, click the Hide all Microsoft services check box and click Disable all.
   4. OK out and restart the computer.
