Toshiba Upgrade To W7
Nov 17, 2009
We purchased a new laptop after June 26, which gave us information on qualifying for the Windows 7 upgrade when it became available. Well It didn't say FREE, but to qualify you have to have bought between certain dates, show computer info. Show receipts answer yards of question.. Jump hoops.. An no where does it list a price, or ask you to send credit card info, not in email, snailmail, fax etc..
I just got email back asking for my credit card...
We thank you for all the information that you sent to us. However, there is an instance wherein we also need to collect your credit card information in order for us to complete your request for a Windows 7 upgrade kit.
Does not say how much they plan to charge my card.. Have any of you done the toshiba upgrade??

A helped a young lady and her mother purchase a new Toshiba laptop back on 8/8/09. The mother used her credit card to purchase said item.
I helped the young lady send in her Toshiba Windows 7 Upgrade request to Toshiba on the internet. First, I faxed the Proof of Purchase with her Account # (per Toshiba) to Toshiba so they would have it. After about 2 weeks, with no confirmation they received it, I then scanned in the Proof of Purchase and then attached that to account online.
2 days later she was denied her upgrade.
The Proof of Purchase is a copy of the Sales Receipt. From Best-Buy !!
So, the new Toshiba is running Windows Vista Home Premium, bought in August of 09, and I sent them 2 copies of the Receipt !!! Everything they asked for !!!
What else should I do? I looked online at Toshiba, and there are a lot of people upset at Toshiba for denying them also. Some legitimate, a few not so.
I don't know if this is the track record of Toshiba, in luring people into buying their PC's, then backing out of the upgrade for the PC, or not.
So, anyone else having a difficult time with Toshiba about the upgrade? what to do?

I installed Win 7 RC on a new build and purchased Vista Home Premium 64bit OEM with upgrade to Win 7 Home premium. The Win 7 upgrade disc has arrived. I understand that Vista must be installed and activated for the upgrade to work. Attempts to install Vista with Win 7 RC running or booting from the Vista disc lead to error code 0x80070103, insufficient free space. My HDD has > 450 Gb free space in 2 partitions. Do I need to reformat the HDD in order to install Vista over Win 7?

I ordered the 50$ Windows 7 upgrade disk. I realize that Windows 7 will need vista or XP already installed for the upgrade version of Windows 7. But if I want to upgrade my Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, Will I be able to do it with this upgrade disk? after all I will need a fresh install (because 32 to 64) and this is the upgrade version...

Customer dropped off a laptop telling me that his Windows upgrade had failed.
It's a new HP DV6 that had Vista pre-installed on it.
I've taken a look at it, and there's a "Windows.old" folder on the root of C:, which is of course a back up of all his data.
There's also a batch file inside the folder with the following inside of it:
"REM Dummy file for NTVDM"
I'm wondering if there's a way to "continue" the upgrade / merging process? He has asked me to re-install all of his software the way he had it. So i'm hoping there's an easier way to continue where he left off.
I know Windows 7 creates a "Windows.old" folder when upgrading from XP. Not sure why one was created for a Vista to Windows 7 upgrade though.

I have a pc with Windows XP pro 32bit retail version. First I have made an image, just in case. Then I have upgraded it to windows 8, 64bit by using the retail upgrade DVD and clean install. However, I found out that my motherboard is so old (5 years old) that there are no drivers for win8 and after asking ASUS they said that the motherboard is not supported any more and that there will be no new drivers for it. I tried using win7 drivers but it did not work and without correct drivers a lot of things does not work (in particularly hdmi port).What I want to do now is to revert to my image (windows xp), buy a Windows 7, 64bit upgrade retail DVD and upgrade windows xp to windows 7 for which there are drivers for my motherboard.
1) Can I use windows xp retail (whose product key has already been used to upgrade to win8) image to upgrade to windows 7 retail? will the activation of windows 7 succeed? I want to use clean install again since i upgrade from 32bit to 64bit
2) If the answer to question 1 is a yes, how does microsoft prevent users from using the same windows image file to upgrade different pc's? I mean, theoretically, I can make an image of pc1, copy it to a hard drive of pc2 (even if it will result in erroneous installation due to different specs) and upgrade both systems by using two VUP product keys which are cheaper than one VUP + one retail product keys
3) Can I use windows 8 upgrade DVD which is not used any more to upgrade another PC?

I purchased Windows 7 Professional through the Ultimate Steal.
Downloaded it, put it on a disk also.
It will go through the start of the setup and copy files etc, and then it will give an error and say to install from a current version of windows I need to use the upgrade anytim through windows.
But when I go to upgrade anytime it asks for an upgrade key, but all I have with the purchase was a product key and it says that I can't use the product key.
any help?
edit: also i have windows 7 home premium installed right now
and here is exactly what it says:
"To upgrade from one edition of Windows 7 to another edition of Windows 7, use Windows Anytime Upgrade. Cancel the upgrade, open the Start menu, and search for Windows Anytime Upgrade. "

I'm considering whether to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. IMHO, the new OS seems to be not sufficiently "mature" yet, and it is better to wait for the first service pack to come out before actually upgrading.

I was playing Fallout: New Vegas when my computer shut down randomly and attempted to restart. It would flash the Toshiba screen and then display a white blinking underscore. Whenever I tapped a key, I'd hear a beep.could access my BIOS and boot screen, but not my recovery partition. went on my brother's laptop (the one I'm using right now) and burned the windows 7 recovery tools to a disc. I booted from that disc, and soon discovered that I could...>Access command prompt, therefore access my c: d: and x: drives.>Run memory diagnostics>Do a system restore>Run startup repairI can see my two restore points but I get an error when I attempt to restore from them about 5 minutes in. can see all my files, but I can't access them. I'm in command prompt right now, and I have access to all my partitions

I was wondering if this came out yet because I checked on both Toshibas website and The Windows 7 homepage and nothing was up as of yet. My dvd drive does that recognize disks and I am not able to chose anything as an option. Other than that Windows 7 has been awesome so far

I just have a couple of questions for the driver experts of the world
I have just treated myself to the Windows ultimate 64 bit (i did have vista 32 bit) and i love it but im a stickler for things not working and it drives me nuts!
1) The windows Media remote isnt working, i think this maybe due to the fact ive gone from 32 bit to 64 bit and im probably just needing a driver? not too sure to be honest, any ideas? apparently its called a "CIR device driver" or am i way off mark here? cant seem to find the driver online anywhere!
2) Toshiba flash cards are not working also, not that i use them that much but it still bugs the hell outta me! any thoughts?
P.S I have managed to get most stuff working in 64 bit including the SD card reader and built in web cam so let me know if can help you with any other stuff your stuck with.

I recently installed Windows 7 32bit on my Toshiba Satellite A70 series. Windows 7 Update found a lot of drivers that I installed. After I installed them my laptop would keep freezing out of nowhere frequently. Anyone else having this problem?

I bought my son a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5132 laptop running Windows 7 for Christmas. He used the laptop about a week ago, and a couple of days ago tried to use it and it won't boot. Most of the time when the computer is turned on there is simply a blank screen. Sometimes a scree will show up that has Toshiba's name on it with F2 go to utility manager and F12 go to boot manager in the bottom left corner then a blank screen. Then sometimes it screen with Toshiba's name and the F2 and F12 will show up and them after a while something that looks like and underline that is blinking will show up in the upper left hand corner and there will appear a message that says ...
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 083)
ForAtheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.1.9(12/15/09)
Check cable connection
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE Rom.
No bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key
When it opens pressing F2 in Setup Utility the system date is correct, the System Date is correct and Language is in English. You can enter these three and change them. But the CPu Type, Cpu Speed, HDD/SSD, Total memoy Size, an Sytem Bios Version cannot be selected or entere.The boot manager can be entered and the boot sequence can be changed. Nothing else can be done, can't even enter safe mode.

Earlier this afternoon, my Toshiba laptop running windows 7 restarted itself without any prompting. Since then, I have not been able to start it in normal mode without it restarting itself of freezing either during the startup or just after. I can open it in safe mode with networking, but that is it.
Ive tried fixing the registry, Ive tried antivirus software, Ive tried system restores, and Ive tried running a clean boot. None of these have worked.

Recently my Toshiba Satellite laptop which runs Windows 7 is not shutting down. When shutting down, I receive a message that there is a background program running. I have to shut down the computer using the power button. Before I shut down the computer, I close all opened programs and then I open the task manager to see if there are any applications still running and there aren't any running.

Bought the toshiba satellite A505-S6970 for college three years ago. Now the logo shows then the F2 or F12 menu. After which there is only a blinking cursor, There are no error beeps. Additionally the keyboard is entirely unresponsive: I can neither enter the F2 nor F12 menu.After powering I have left it sitting an hour but it was still a flashing cursor. It will not boot to usb if I put in a known to boot usb drive. Similarly it won't boot from a bootable CD or a DVD.

The laptop runs the UTube Toolbox (TB) most of the time so when I went to bed I checked the TB and everything was running fine. I checked it again when I woke up and the screen was black and gave the following message:Check cable connectionPXE M0F: Exiting PXE ROMNo bootable deviceInsert boot disk and press any keyI don't have a boot disk. I tried to create one on my other win7 laptop but I only have cdrws and not dvdrws so I guess it failed because of lack of space to record everything?The cdrw did save some boot files but the Tosh laptop still couldn't load windows.I did manage to run the repair tool from the LT directly and when it finished it said the root cause was a corrupt registry. I presumed it had fixed it but windows still wouldn't load and now I only get the original problem message or the repair thing which never shows a windows and the HD stops sounding like it's actually scanning after about a 1/2 hour
