Can I use 80 GB in Portege 4000?

I'm tired of searching for a hard drive for my computer laptop Toshiba Portege 4000 (PIII). The only ones available come from 80 GB. Is there a way I can fit this size of hard drive in my laptop? I need to know this before as I have buy a.

Very difficult to say if the BIOS will recognize that the new inserted 80 GB of HARD drive.
As far as I know that the Portege 4000 has been delivered with the 20 GB HARD drive.

Hmm, I think the 80 GB could works but he can't say for sure!
You will need to test because the Toshiba does not have any official information on the compatible HARD drive sizes.

What you need is a HARD drive that supports an IDE interface. You could buy one with ATA5 (U - DMA 5 100 Mbps), but it will only work to 66 MB/s due to the limitation of HARD disk controller.

    Well, what to say to my knowledge it of not possible to activate the other version of Vista with OEM from Toshiba key.
    This key is assigned to this OEM version and it should not work with another Vista CD/DVD.

    I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

    -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

    -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

    -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

    -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

    Thanks much for any help.

    The protégé 4000 is compatible with the PC133 modules! AFAIK, you can upgrade RAM of this notebook 1 GB (1024 MB) and you can use these modules;
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

    You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
    After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

  • Portege 4000 - how to install the display driver for XP?

    Hi-

    I did a clean install of XP Portege 4000. The system has been previously default 98SE.

    Noticed that there is a yellow exclamation point in other devices about the video controller (VGA compatible). I downloaded the display on the Toshiba site driver (if it is the right thing?), but can't seem to install. There is no setup.exe to help me.

    My XP screen covers only 3/4 or more of the screen total, so that something is wrong somewhere...

    Hello

    No, Toshiba don't support Linux or Ubuntu on the Portege 4000 and you can t find drivers for it on the Toshiba page. Only Windows drivers are available.

    I m not an expert in Linux, but as far as I know you don t need additional graphic driver for Ubuntu. You should only change the resolution of the screen or something in the settings of the screen. I had the same problem on the first time I used Linux and I could solve it without additional driver but I put t know how I did it :(

  • Portege 4000 - Win 98SE want to update

    I have a Portege 4000 and I'm looking to switch from Windows 98SE. The obvious alternatives are W2000, XP or Ubuntu Linux.

    If I can find a full version of Windows XP Home edition, I'd be able to make a clean (rather than upgrade) installation and get drivers?
    Officially, the laptop is only compatible with 98SE or 2000, but these systems are old now.

    I imagine that if I update XP 98SE on it will keep all the drivers, but this is not my preferred method of installation and installs own are better.

    Win98 uses Win95 Basic code, which is not compatible with NT/2000/XP. If the Win98 drivers do not work.

    You must back up your documents, format C: then install fresh XP.

    You can use the drivers Windows 2000 XP - sound basically the same operating system internally.
    If for any reason any the Win2000 drivers do not work, you can use XP drivers from other models of same era.

    replacing the HARD drive is not very difficult on laptops because especially HARD drive is laced at the bottom of the unit and it of only necessary to remove the cover.

    To remove the HARD drive, follow the steps below:
    1. turn the computer.
    2. remove the two silver screws that attach the HARD drive cover.
    3. lift the cover of the HARD drive.
    4 enter the plastic on the HARD disk tab to disconnect the system HARD drive, then pull the HARD drive.
    5. place the HARD drive on a flat pack and remove the four screws flat head.
    6. remove the HARD drive bracket.

    That s all :)

  • Portege 4000 turns off after 20 minutes

    My Portege 4000 shuts down suddenly after 20 minutes, sometimes it takes our during 30-40 minutes.
    He then walks back for a few hours.

    Here's what I've tried, and it still happens:
    -On the sector, with or without battery
    -With a different (same) AC apator
    -Unplugged battery operated

    The fan works, although it feels very powerful.
    And the power light flashes an error code (how can I decode it?).

  • Portege 4000 conflict between WiFi and Bluetooth on Windows 2000

    I recently replaced XP with Win2000 on my Toshiba Portege 4000. I also downloaded the latest drivers from the Toshiba site, using pref to Win2000 and Portege 4000.

    When you start the Bluetooth Stack V4.00.30 he wiped out the wireless LAN feature. I know that it is not possible to use Bluetooth and wireless at the same time.

    However, it is a permanent disability. During the uninstallation of the Bluetooth stack V4.00.30, wireless comes back to life.
    Is there someone who has a fix to this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Just a question: can use you the FN + F8 key combination to switch between WiFi and BT connection?

    AFAIK it's between possible and turn on both devices at the same time. In this case, he's shown great caution with content to follow:

    Devices Bluetooth and WirelessLAN function in the same radio frequency range and may interfere with each other. If you use Bluetooth devices and WirelessLAN simultaneously, you can sometimes meet optimal network performance or even lose your network connection. In this case, always stop a Bluetooth connection or your WirelessLAN

    As I said using the FN + F8 key combination, you should be able to switch between WiFi and BT connection.
