Portege M400-ST9113. Performing a Windows 7 Custom Install. By reading Toshiba's 'How to Upgrade Toshiba laptops to Windows 7' Support Bulletin.

I am trying to dual boot Windows 7 Home Premium and Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop (Toshiba Portege M400). I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed previously but I decided to wipe my hard drive before installing Windows 7.

I used GParted to delete all my partition and setup two new ones. I formated the first partition as NFTS for Windows. After that, I proceeded to installing Windows. The first time I tried it, I was successful although I did need to reformat that NFTS partition I had made because it said that the partition table type (GUID) was not compatible.

Windows 7 installed fine after that. However, when I try to install Ubuntu, it sees the whole disk as blank. I tried resolving this issue with GParted but that too saw the drive as if it were blank even though Windows 7 was installed. After that, I booted up the GParted Live CD once again and changed the partition table to MS-DOS. My Windows 7 boots up and goes through all the tasks before the first boot up.

When it restarts for the first time, it fails to boot; it simply stays on the glowing Windows logo. I've tried formatting the entire disk through the Windows 7 disk and partitioning from there several times and I still get the same results.

I've checked my BIOS and put it in it's default settings but still nothing. Similar help and support threads Thread Forum So I have a lot going on here, unfortunately.

Issue Windows 2000 or Windows XP Setup may not be able to complete the installation of Windows, because it does not detect the computer's Serial ATA disk drive controller. Windows Setup may report this information in a message similar to this one: This problem may be caused by the absence of a required driver for the Serial ATA disk drive. Microsoft Windows does not -- as of October 2005 -- have built-in support for Serial ATA (SATA) controllers and hard disk drives.

This includes Windows XP (with or without SP1 or SP2) and Windows 2000. To install Windows on a Toshiba computer with a Serial ATA drive, it's necessary to install the Toshiba RAID driver / Serial ATA driver during the Windows Setup installation process. Other hard disk drive interfaces that typically require additional drivers from the Host Bus Adapter manufacturer include FC-AL (Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop) and SCSI. Resolution Follow the procedure below to install both the Toshiba RAID driver / Serial ATA driver and Windows XP or Windows 2000 on Toshiba computers that use a Serial ATA hard drive controller. Windows Setup can install the required driver only from a diskette (floppy disk) -- not from a CD, or from any other media. If you have a CD containing the driver, copy it to a diskette before starting the procedure below (and skip the steps concerning downloading and unzipping the driver). The ideal diskette drive to use for this procedure is the Toshiba 3.5' External USB Floppy Disk Drive.
