Cannot install W2K on Portege 3480CT

On eBay, I bought a Portege 3480CT use it as a good machine to create texts out of office. But now I can not install W2K on it.

It has an external CD drive and does not install: w2k, Linux, W98 (original)... for my favorite W2K, it says: "could not find NTLDR" (w2k) and: "media entfernen - neustart: taste druecken;

There is no other boot device, no other disc in any location... the disc is my original one, the boot device is passed to 'boot from CD' - the system is used for W2K (there a sticker on the back, which gives me this information).

and now I'm at the point, I have no idea how to continue.

Is it possible to make it work again?
Thanks in advance

Hello

If a "NTLDR is missing" message that this indicates that the disk is not bootable.
Many times this is caused when the computer tries to boot from the CD-ROM or a diskette not bootable.
In this forum, many users wanted to install the W2K on this laptop.
First of all, you need a bootable disc.

If you want to boot from the CD of Win98, you must first create a companion disk. See the page of the Toshiba driver for companion disk files.

  • Cannot install Modem the Portege 2000

    Help! I manually installed Windows XP and now I can't install my modem on Portege 2000. What is going on?

    I had this same problem come when I installed Windows 98 on my protégé. During the installation of the operating system that you will get a yellow question mark in Device Manager when you install the modem before applying the audio driver "Reg-Files. For Windows 98, I had double click on Aliid98.reg in the folder for the audio driver on the CD T & D to add information about the modem driver. For Windows XP and Windows 2000, I think that you need to double click on Aliid.reg in the folder for the audio driver on the T & D CD to add the information to the modem driver. Let me know if it works!

  • Satellite M35X-S111: cannot install W2k and Vista

    Greetings! Today I tried to install windows 2000 on my computer laptop m35x-s111 but my attempts were not successful. After you have copied the original drivers, there was 'Blue screen' talk that it is necessary to disable the Bios shadow and the shadow of the video. These options are not present in the BIOS, it is generally whatever is not present adjustments.

    Today tried to install Windows Vista RC1, but lead to this screen and the message that this is full not ACPI (is not compatible). I understand it, it is necessary to disable all these options and then the system will be installed but how do?

    Hello

    Generally, Windows 2000 installation should not be a problem and it is not necessary to disable anything in the BIOS. The fact is that Satellite M35 is designed for Windows XP and I really don t know if the device is supported for W2000 but on WE download page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp) you will find several drivers.

    If possible please send us the error on blue screen code.

  • Portege 4000 - Installed W2K - wireless connection problem

    I installed W2K the Portege 4000. XP was too heavy a resource for this system.

    After you install the network driver wireless Cisco (3.5.13.0) of your Web site, I am unable to get a wireless connection. In XP this comes automatically with an icon. The network device switch that I also installed did not help.

    I have the following:

    Connection to the local network - ethernet

    2 - wireless LAN connection

    Although LAKE 2 is activated this still does not pick up wireless.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    PUH Windows 2000 is an older system. I didn t forget not all parameters of WLan connection and so I googled a bit.

    and I found an interesting page and a brief description how to configure Wlan connection in W2k.

    Hello

    I'm sure that the HARD drive is too big for this machine. Maybe your Portege works correctly with 20 GB but 100 GB, too. Sorry, but I think there is no way to make it work.

  • Max on Portege 3480CT HARD drive capacity?

    What is the hard drive of greater that I can install it on a 3480CT portege? can I write DVD with an external burner (USB 2.0)?

    Hello

    You will be very happy if someone can give you specific info on the maximum capacity of the HARD drive for this model of laptop. This info can give you a few specialist upgrade for laptop, but I think that 20 or 30 GB maybe are no problem.

    I use the external DVD burner too, but not ultra slim but desktop engraver special cardboard. I don t use USB. FireWire is much faster data transfer rates and I use the firewire port on my Satellite.

  • Compatible hard drives for Portege 3480CT

    Hello

    I have a Portege 3480CT and I need to replace its 12 GB (IBM & reg Travelstar) drive hard internal since the former on a developed bad blocks. Now, I assumed that it would be relatively simple, but I was wrong.

    In any case, I got a replacement 2.5 "HD (this time a Hitachi Travelstar, 20 GB drive), but I couldn't make it work. I ran the program from IBM/Hitachi diagnosis and while the old 12 GB HDD is detected and removed ok, the 20 GB does not even get detected (i.e., seems that nothing is on the line of the IDE).

    It was suggested to me by IBM and Hitachi that there is a list of compatibility to their hard drives, and may not be supported (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/compatibility.htm), but I could not find my disc on their list (model is HTS424020M9AT00). Basically, what I want to know is what drives * are * compatible or what my problem with the laptop is otherwise.

    For more info, when I try to install Win2k, I get an ArcRead failure, probably because he thinks that the drive does not exist.

    Thank you.
    Stuart

    Hello

    I guess that there is problem with drive HARD and false parameter who decide if the HARD drive is the master or slave.

    In my opinion you should contact the Service partner to ask them which HDD is suitable for your device. You can also check on the net and picking up some information because there are a lot of different suppliers where you can buy the HARD drive. I also found information that it is possible to use the 40 GB HARD drive for your unit, but it must be built in by seller.

  • Cannot install iOS 10.0.1 with Apple Configurator 1.7.2

    Hello

    I have 60 iPads in 5 carts (12 per basket) that I need to install some applications on. They are already configured and supervised with Apple Configurator 1.7.2. I've never had problems in the past with AC1, I've always been able to install the updates and applications easily with very few questions, because of that I've never felt the need to update to AC2. However, this time during the update of ios and refreshment, I get the error 'complete with an error - cannot install iOS' 10.0.1 And now 12 of my iPads are stuck in recovery mode.

    I tried before wipe them off and re supervise them, but I always get the cannot install iOS 10.0.1 error, followed by all the iPads stuck in restore mode. I tried to update only 1 or 2 at a time. I tried the update/supervise them with no apps queued for installation. I tried to restore the iPad via iTunes, which works, but when I try to put it back on AC1, I still get the same error mode and recovery.

    I tried searching online for compatibility with the new iOS and AC 1 problems but found nothing.

    I would like to know if there is more information I should provide that might help.

    Thank you for your time.

    Ben

    Hi Ben

    Makes your iPad successfully update to IOS 10, we have approximately 400 ipads, I've updated a single ipad at 10 IOS using our MacBook pro AC1 OSX El Capitan to test, ill try another now and see if its success.

    When you connect an ipad update the Configurator re-download the IOS 10 or use a cached copy?

    How your Configurator is connected to the internet (behind Proxy, Wifi, Ethernet), perhaps the downloaded IPSW file is corrupted and need to be redownloaded removed\.

    Kind regards

  • Cannot install OS: "this identifier Apple has not yet been used.

    I just got my first Mac yesterday, a mid 2010 Macbook of opportunity. It's in great shape, works great, I was briefly very satisfied with my purchase. Then I tried to reformat/reinstall, as it does whenever purchasing a computer used.

    I followed the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204904 and when I got to the step three, after the failure of the hard drive, it wouldn't let me install the operating system. He wanted to connect first with my Apple ID, so I did an Apple ID, but now it keeps giving me an error "this identifier Apple has not yet been used in the App store" and then it gives me the opportunity to cancel or "review". Click Cancel simply cancels the installation, just by clicking on review also cancels the installation.

    An ID is not necessary, but there is no way I can see to avoid it say the instructions on this page. It was suggested that maybe I could avoid the connection on the way to recovery, rather than recovery of the Internet, but the Cmd + R and Cmd + Option + R give recovery of the Internet. I don't see any way to get to the regular recovery.

    I had a suggestion to install from the disc, but I have not all discs. If I could download it from somewhere and burn them then that would be nice, but the instructions on this page are pretty clearly that it should not be necessary to use disks. I should be able to do without signing in.

    So... what upward with who? Where should I go from here? Is it possible to do a regular recovery? Or bypass the Apple ID thing?
