Can Install XP On Toshiba L455 That Is Running Windows 7
Aug 26, 2012
I have a Toshiba L455 laptop that I recently purchased from a friend. It is running Windows 7. However, I keep getting these messages about counterfeit software and I cannot accept any Windows Updates without a key. I have a valid copy of XP w/service pak 3 with a key that I'd like to install on this laptop. I did not get a disc with this laptop but it is my understanding that he formatted this by "installing factory defaults." I don't know all this computer language so I'd like some simple instructions. And no, I can't go back to my "friend" to get this problem fixed. Also, the XP disc I have was used on a desktop. Do I need a specific "laptop disc" of XP or does that matter?

Have a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 than began freezing yesterday. Laptop less than 2 months old. Had to do a hard shutdown, then ran a system restore back to about 2 weeks ago, and a Malwarebytes scan. Still having the issue. Computer runs without issue apparently in safe mode (which I am running now).

Per microsoft I need to do try a repair install from original disk. Is there a difference between running repair install from Windows or booting from original disk then selecting upgrade install? Is one or the other preferred? Directions say both attempt to preserve installed programs, but not all drivers, and both require reinstalling all the 60 or so windows updates released after my disk. so no differences there.

I have a Toshiba Satellite and when I launch recovery options while starting it up it goes extremely slow. If I launch it with a repair disc it still goes extremely slow. ATM, I've put the repair disc and now im just waiting to see what happens.

My wifes machine has been running increasingly slowly, and I thought that I would reinstall the OS, and take the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from XP. I carried out the analysis and the results suggested that it would be OK to upgrade.I have done the upgrade, and in a system that has the bare OS and nothing more, it is running agonisingly slowly - can anyone suggest what I should do to find out why? It could be that the system is not powerful enough to operate - it has the following:
143GB storage (97GB free after the install)
Intel Celeron 2.93 Ghz chip
2 GB RAM

Im running Windows 7 professional (64bit) and recently installed IIS. Now my Windows takes a long time to finish booting before I can use any applications. The HDD spins flat out for a very long time before Im able to do anything.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, originally installed with Vista and Win-7 capable (manufacturer site checked), but currently installed with Ubuntu. My installation gets stuck on expanding files - it goes no further than 0% and then throws up error 0x80070017. clean the main partition (not the 100MB one created by the CD) with the Clean ALL command on the X: drive. Karlsnooks, I see that you have the same laptop.

I just got my computer back from my friend that was fixing my bad memory problem after geeksquad tried to bull**** me and I noticed I had alot of processes running and a bad ram usage. I just clean installed windows a week ago and only added like 3 programs (steam, G1 Live, and other needed stuff.)
When Im downloading a game my internet is slow as sh** and when Im browsing the web my 1000kbps comcast download speed on the game (which is already bad) drops down to 30kbps. Im guessing this is a ram/registry problem. Ive never cleaned the registry.

I've been putting my first build together and completed it a couple of days ago. I was using it, but realized I had accidentally installed a 32bit version rather then the 64bit of windows 7 and as a result my ram was being under utilized. I double checked my cpu and installed the 64bit version of windows, but know that I have everything reinstalled, the windows updates seemed to be taking forever, and the computer is acting very slow and unresponsive, it ran much better using the 32bit version of windows.I'm at wits end, as the two set ups were practically identical, aside from the 32/64 change.

I just performed a fresh reinstall on toshiba satellite c665 with windows 7, all seemed smooth, however it will not even check for updates.. I go to windows update and it says "windows update cannot check for updates because service is not running, you may need to restart your computer".. So I made sure all update services / module were started, and even tried the "fix it update program" still same error.. This never happened to me before.. I'm stuck.

I bought a new Toshiba laptop (L300-1DN) for someone this year and they have Vista SP2 on it (obviously fully included with Toshiba drivers etc. which are also on a recovery disk). There is an option to buy an upgrade version for Vista users of Win 7 HP, but I have already bought a full version of Win 7 Pro, and my preference is a clean install as I'm not too sure about the success rate of upgrades and efficiency of the new operating system afterwards...
Therefore if I do a clean install of Win 7 Pro, what's the situation regarding drivers? I was told that Win 7 has many manufacturers' drivers built into it's kernel and that any manual update of drivers should be minimal?

I will have the chance to move a Toshiba Satellite L300-1DN from Vista HP (pre-installed) to Windows 7 Pro (clean install).
Am in two minds about this and would like to see significantly less CPU use to make it worth it otherwise I will save my disk for another project.
Also has anyone had experience of clean installs of Windows 7 on Toshiba laptops with Vista on them and are there any functionality problems to watch out for in this process?
