• Portege 3490CT - how to install Windows XP?

  I have a portege 3490CT and I want to install Windows xp, but the laptop cannot boot from my external USB cdrom drive. I tried to install Windows on the hard disk on another computer (it works), but if I put the disk in the laptop it does not start.

  So, how can I install windows?

  Please write back.
  Thank you.

  As you can read, you must format the HARD drive and copy the folder the XP disc on HARD drive i386. Then, you can start Setup from the HARD drive without a CD player. :)

• Portege 3490CT - turn off problem

  My Portege 3490CT began to fade after between 1 and 15 minutes from powering it. It now has a damaged operating system because Windows Update was not able to complete an automatic update. Of course, I cannot locate a recovery CD and do not have a CD Player for her in any case.

  Y at - it an easy solution for this problem of sleep and no one know where I can source a W2K recovery disk?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Stuart,

  This type of unexpected shutdown is usually related to overheat probably so heatsink CPU having dirty upward with the dust and debris sucked into the cooling fans. It can be cured by clean dust accumulation.

  The recovery CD copies are available from any Agent of Service authorized Toshiba.

• Portege 3490CT: unable to set the brightness of the screen

  Hello

  I recently acquired a Portege 3490CT and have installed Windows XP on it. Everything works fine except that I can't adjust the BRIGHTNESS of the screen. I believe that this can be done via the software, which does not support Windows XP.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? I can adjust the BRIGHTNESS in the BACK using TSETUP, but Windows seems to get around any setting that I'm doing here.

  Thnaks in advance.

  Hello

  To use this feature, you must in particular drivers.
  This device has not been delivered with Win XP and I also found this driver in particular on the Toshiba driver page.
  I guess, if you want to use the WinXP renounce this function.

• No sound on Portege 3490CT with Windows XP Home edition

  Hello

  I bought a Portege 3490CT on eBay. Everything works fine except there is no sound available. I use WinXP SP2. I know there is a problem with the service packs, but the same problem exists after installation of Windows XP without service pack: it seems to be, that there is no audio devices available. The Windows Device Manager indicates only something a device "legacy". I think that it does not find the real device of Yamaha.

  Install the new driver of Toshiba homepage gives only a "driver not installed" error message.
  In the BIOS there is no option to disable the sound equipment.
  It is perhaps damaged?

  I hope someone has an idea...

  Thank you and best regards
  Mirko

  Usually the legacy term device is used to refer to any device that is not Plug and Play compatible.
  I can only suggest why it doesn't and I think it s a driver problem.
  The sound card that is installed on this laptop is compatible with Sound Blaster Pro and Windows Sound System.
  The computer uses a YMF744B. The YMF744B integrates master audio bus PCI, 64 optical interface of synthesis wavetable, AC-2 interface and control AC97 CODEC.
  In case you would recommend for Yamaha YMF752 or the driver that supports the chip YMF752 you are looking for the most recent driver.

  Hello

  What the BIOS has been installed on your laptop?
  If you use the Toshiba BIOS so there could be an option called configuration of the device.
  (it s is available on my Satellite)

  You change the option for all devices, you will be able to change the PC Card controller mode. I think you should play a little with this option.
  In other cases, the user was able to resolve a similar issue by changing this option.

  Please report if you re successful because it would be very interesting for me.

• Installation of Win XP OS on Portege 3490CT

  I'm trying to install XP Pro on my 3490CT. Looking at this forum, it seems that a large number of owners of 3490CT is installed this OS on the unit.

  Can anyone provide me with the Protocol of installation for this facility? What do I need, what order drivers need to be installed, etc.? I have all the drivers known for this unit of W98, W2k, and made interesting enough XP (Toshiba's official US site).

  My unit has 384 k ram, and media port replicator.

  I already posted a request on this forum that explains in detail the problem I had with XP on this unit (1 / / 6/06 - aswnys).

  The operating system works well but I have no communications function at all; [i.e. internal network/modem, network on the port replicator, usb device (wireless) network, the network (cable/wireless) pcmcia card all cannot be enabled in the operating system].

  Has anyone installed XP on this unit and has the function of comprehensive communication (modem/network]?

  The aircraft had W2k installed. Installing XP is an upgrade that includes SP2.

  I would appreciate any guidance on this.

  Hi Andrew

  It's always a great challenge to install newer OS on older models. Try to install the operating system and if you need drivers for some hardware components to write again. Maybe we can identify the hardware parts and find the drivers to download from producer page.

  Please let us know how it works. I have a Portege 7200 but I didn t try installing WXP yet.

• HP MSA2012i and extension of storage vSphere4

  Hello world

  I know that this question has been asked before to ESX3.5 but I was wondering if there was any changes for vSphere 4.

  We have a race double controllers Raid HP MSA2012i with 6 x 500 GB in RAID 10 with a storage records unique vdisk (belonging to the controller A) virtual machine providing 3 x ESX 4.0 host.  As we now have more than 80% of the storage, I bought a number of expansion disks (6 extra).  Reading the previous posts it seems like I can either:

  • Build a separate vdisk and present this distinct way storage on the ESX Server and maybe put this B controller for redundancy
    
  • Build a separate vdisk and add a scope to the current virtual storage (do not know what the risks are thereby)
    
  • Another option that I have not yet thought of
    

  Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  I would probably choose the first option. Create a new vDisk and present on controller B. Not only for redundancy, but more for load balancing/distribution. In addition, you can consider using RAID 5 instead of RAID 10, for example, if you do not really need. This gives you much more capacity and I don't think that for this reason, you will notice a difference of performance on ESXi. According to the specifications of the individual virtual machine you can then place them on the appropriate vDisk. However, remember that ESX 4.x still has a 2 TB limit less 512 bytes for a single LUN, so you will need to present the disk pace in several smaller sections. With ESX 5.0, this limit doesn't exist anymore.

  I have no would do it certainly is to use extensions!

• Portege 3490CT - replacing the fan

  My portege started to freeze after about 10-15 minutes of use and the internal fan doesn't suddenly and more.

  I guess it's the fan which is the cause of the problem that the screen remains the same (IE probably not the graphics problem) and there is no odd blue screens or errors and CTRL ALT DEL does nothing...

  I had the laptop out and checked for dust and the connection of the fan and everything seems ok.

  Is it possible to get a fan on its own or is it attached for the heatpipe (it now is back together and can't even remember what it looks like!)

  The 3400 series use the same fan?

  Apologies for all the questions, but I really need my small laptop works again

  Thanks a lot :)

  Hello

  It seems that your laptop crashes or stops because of high temperatures inside the laptop. For the most part, this problem occurs because of the dust and dirt. Fans cannot work full implementation. I don t think you need to replace the cooling module. Maybe the complete clearing of the module and the fans will solve the problems. Also check the settings in the energy saver.

  I m not 100% sure about replacing fan on this unit because I don t know if it s just a fan or the entire module that must be removed. But the best way to find out is to contact Toshiba service. There you can also order parts new and compatible.

• Portege 3490CT - please help me to boot from the CD ext

  Hello from Maine, USA.

  I bought the 3490 ct and a TDK USB CD-ROM drive brand. The 3490CT came with a formatted hard drive. I would start my CD of the OS with the USB CD-ROM and get this computer.

  Can it be done? I need to get the Port Replicator and floppy drive?

  I tried opneing computer to remove the hard side and put the files manually, but it seems difficult to remove and I don't want to spoil anything (it is surrounded by these tiny wires that are difficult to work with)

  Help! How can I get an OS on this thing!

  Thank you
  Craig

  Hello

  Your machine does not start from this USB key.

  You can only recover your machine using a Toshiba player connected to the Port Replicator port or PCMCIA Toshiba CD player.

• Portege 3490CT: clock stops and how to remove the second operating system?

  I recently bought a 3490CT that has a few probs.
  (1) the continuous clock to stop--has a separate battery? It has an impact on things like sending emails, which are always evil dated/timed. You can set an hour latter, it stops again.

  (2) it came with 2 operating systems, Wind98 and Win2000... you get a choice at startup, how do I remove the old?

  (3) what updates are available to make it faster - playing DVDs on the "plug in the drive" is slow and jerky...

  Thanks to all, any info appreciated.

  Which one do you mean? The clock of the OS?
  Check in the BIOS if the time and data are correct.
  Eventually, you use settings area of bad weather and time of the laptop is going to be permanent synchronize with internet time server. This option that you can find in the Date and time properties

• Portege 3490CT - lack of power supply connector

  Well, I did something really stupid and tripped on the feeder for the laptop. He seems to have pulled the plug and gave him a questionable link. Does anyone know the less expensive/better way to solve this problem, because I don't really want to trade it yet he is very picky.

  Seems to work better if you can pull the plug upwards. I he had to open but could not see anything that obviously had been damaged.
  Any ideas?

  This looks like a connection jack power failure. Maybe the cable is lose.
  I think that it s not easy to solve these issues without any experience.
  I would recommend the service partner Toshiba asking for help.
