Can I put a windows 7 upgrade disc for a Toshiba laptop on my HP laptop?
My friend got a free upgrade disc when he bought his Toshiba laptop but did not use it. Could I upgrade my HP laptop with it? My laptop is currently running Vista.

Sure, as long as he didn't activate it on the Toshiba.
2 :
yes, but the version must be the same. vista home --> 7 home... vista business--> 7 business... ect. Note, you can't upgrade vista basic. Finally, the bits must be the same so 32 bit upgrade to 32 bit os and 64 bit to 64 bit. Not too hard is it?
3 :
yes you can

it's possible but more then likely not going to work as it will need to read the toshiba bios to confirm that it's a legal unit to install it on there are 3 types of windows disks 1) OEM disks made for specific machines coded for each manufacturer, that's why almost any toshiba will work on the same series toshiba but not a HP /DELL /Sony etc 2)Retail / UPGRADE either full or upgrade will work on any pc regardless of who made it 3) VLK 1 disk multiple licence used mainly by corporations they buy 100 or 10,000 licences and only need 1 disk to load them from.

Why does my Toshiba laptop make crazy noises?

Why does my Toshiba laptop make crazy noises?
I got a Toshiba laptop for Christmas. I really like it but sometimes it makes really strange noises. One for example, it a man making and "Ugh!" noise. Also the sound of a slap and it even once said "I love you". Occasionally it plays three-second bits of songs too. Have you ever had this happen to you? And why does it happen?

if you go where they sell the charger they will tell you
2 :
Yes. Buy a power inverter with at least an 85 watt rating, plug it into your cigarette lighter and plug your laptop into it. Your car is not capable of supplying the proper voltage or amperage to charge your laptop without a power inverter.
3 :
You will need an inverter. You can buy one at www.tripplite.com. Watts=Volts X Amps therefore 120 Volts X 1.3 Amps= 156 watts. This means you will need to buy at least a 156 watt inverter to plug into your car cigarette lighter. I use a 375 watt inverter in my car just to be sure I have enough power. The Tripp-Lite PV375 does a very good job. I have tried the Belkin and a few others and they were all very poor compared to the Tripp-Lite I use all the time.

inverter!
