How to install Win 2000 form a USB CD on a protected 3440CT

I have a 3440CT protected and are in need of repair/install Windows 2000 on a CD. I have the 4 game Win2k boot disk and can boot from USB FDD. The CD player is also a USB port that is connected via the port replicator, but he never saw also available.

What I need to do to be able to see the CD drive for installation of windows?

Any help much appreciated.

Sam.

Hello Sam

I have never done this, but I assume that you need DOS driver for the external hard drive. You must start the unit by using the startup disk, install the correct driver, and after that, I think that you will be bale to use external player of ODD.

Please check that a little this Portege category and you will find a lot, but really a lot of topics with the same theme and a lot of interesting observations and proposals how to proceed.

  • How to install Win 7 on a Win 10 computer which doesn't have a CD player

    I bought a new laptop of Lenovo win 10, but I can't not treat Win 10 so I bought a copy of Win 7 and want to install it but I don't have a CD player.  How to install Win 7?  I tried to look at the oem site but nothing seems to match back to Win 7, they all assume I'm going to Win 10, that I certainly do not.

    Otherwise I'll have to return the laptop because I don't live with Win 10, it takes too long to learn all the new shit and I'm not all media social hype apps that came with it.

    A little guidance would be welcome, please.

    The first thing you need to do is to check if there is no Windows 7 driver for your model of Lenovo.

    I recommend also to dual boot, instead of decommissioning.

    In addition, downgrade rights are limited to systems that are preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro OEM. Other editions need to provide your own disc of Windows 7.

    There are ways you can download and create a bootable copy of the edition of Windows 7 you have.

    Option 1: Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

    then

    If your computer is UEFI, they are normally the systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or later, you need prepare the ISO for such a configuration file or you will receive an error during installation. The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

    After installing Rufus:

    • Launch it
    • Select the ISO Image
    • Point to the file ISO for Windows 10
    • Check create a disk bootable using
    • Select GPT partitioning to EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme
    • Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as file system
    • Make sure that your USB in the device list
    • Click Start
    • Close when you are finished

  • 3440 CT Poertege: install Win 2000 without floppy

    I have an old protégé 3440CT but I don't have the external disk, I only have the external cd-rom drive.
    When I bought the computer second hand, it installed windows Millennium Edition and I decided to install windows 2000.

    Because I don't have an external floppy drive, I decided to go down the internal disk (hard drive), put in a usb adapter and connect it to my desktop pc. I formatted the drive and created a partition where I copy all installation windows 2000 cd.

    But when I put the hard drive again in the protégé and restart the computer, the disc starts, it was not allow to restart. And appeared an insert saying message the disk in the drive.

    I just want to know if its possible to install the win2000 in my portege make a copy of the installation cd on a partition on the hard drive, and if not, how can I install it in my protected?

    Hello

    I think you need to start Notepad using the floppy drive and boot disk. When start I presume you can access second partition and run the installation procedure. I didn t try before but in my opinion, it should be possible. Some users on this forum have reported on this possibility.

    If know you more please let me know.

  • How to install Win 7 on Satellite P300?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P300. When I bought it, I had to this topic Vista Edition home premium. Now, I tried to install Win 7.
    I have the DVD of Win 7 Professional but when I want to boot from the DVD win 7 it wouldn t accept and the boot PC always from the hard drive even when I changed it on the BIOS as it doesn t recognize. I tried with another Win 7 DVD to format the hard drive and install Windows 7 as the normal procedure, but Toshiba doesn't recognize any DVD Win 7, it acknowledges that its original DVD system (hddrecovery files that combines the win vista and all the drivers of Toshiba for laptop, as you know).

  • Re: IMPORTANT - how to install Windows 2000 on a Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E)?

    Hello

    I am an independent developer and absolutely need to install multiple operating systems on my * Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E) *: it is very important for me because I need to check the functioning of the software under each environment for real (not not using solutions like VMware, for example).

    Well, then, right now, I did a backup Acronis image of original full HDD, and then deleted the original scores of WinRE and data, reduced and moved from disk to the partition of Vista... and installed System Commander 8 to prepare my future multi - initialize. For the moment, everything sounds right: Vista works perfectly!

    Also note, I have configured the SATA in the BIOS Setup in "Compatibility" mode just because I don't need AHCI in my type of use!

    Second step: now, * I have to install Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) EN *. Of course, I am aware that the sticking point is the SATA/AHCI driver, which is not present in the CD of Win 2 K... So, I just make a new CD integrating these drivers using nLite; now, I tried using the driver Intel site on Intel 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller (ICH8M) and page drivers Toshiba XP.

    But it does not completely: the Win 2 K install begins... All the drivers are well charged (including the ones AHCI) and just after this stage of loading, I get a black screen with just a blink of an eye cursor at the top left of the screen... indefinitively :-(

    I tried also to SATA mode "AHCI" in the BIOS and it's the same thing.

    So, what to do next?

    I used the wrong AHCI drivers? Do I need to integrate as many drivers Toshiba (about chipset, display, sound) in the installation of Windows 2000 using nLite CD? I mean the capacity of the CD is not reached.

    Is there a way or a tutorial to install Windows 2000 somewhere? For XP, I think it will be easier because SP3 seems to support AHCI, but earlier, my problem is to install Windows 2000: Although Microsoft wants to leave-it, there are many professionals who still use-it... And my work as a developer, is to make my software also works on this OS! * I really need to find a way to install it on this computer! *

    Awaiting your response informed and all the tips or idea that could help me to complete the task.
    In a word: HELP! Oops!

    > No I used the wrong AHCI drivers?
    Perhaps.

    As far as I know that you need the crib Intel Matrix Storage and in this package, you will find the SATA drivers.
    http://www.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/index.htm

    There you have to choose to get the latest driver - version PV-> Win 2000 8.5-> there you must take the package from point 3

  • How to install Win XP on Equium P200

    Hi guys,.

    I found a very useful tutorial, how to install windows xp on laptop Equium P200.
    Problem is that when I did everything what in this tutorial (used nlite, made the install xp with sata drivers cd) Win Xp is show error.

    When you boot from the cd, and all the drivers are loaded, it will show me a blue screen saying that installation was arrested for not to damage my pc and its saying that the error is in the pci.sys file...

    The ides what it could be?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure why this error but I've had an idea.
    Maybe the installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager doesn t support the good chipset.

    I ve towing different versions of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and both versions support different chipsets.

    Always is it that there are different series Equium P200 which needs different drivers.
    I think you should visit the European driver Toshiba page and must choose the right notebook series! Compare the serial number located at the bottom of the device!

    Then try the installation again.

  • How to install Windows 2000 on Equium A200-1VO?

    Hello

    Can someone help me?

    I would like to install Windows 2000 on the Toshiba Equium A200-1VO laptop, but I need the drivers to do this.
    I have tried the Toshiba web page but cannot find the drivers.

    Can someone please?

    Thank you

    You will not be the drivers because this Vista designed for laptop is not supported by this old operating system. Maybe you can find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition, but not for W2000.

    All you can do is search for the drivers on the net and hope you have success with it.
    I don't know why you would do this, but perhaps you should accept that at some point Toshiba must say stop and don't waste time with the support of the older operating system. I also believe that 0.01% people want to use this old operating system on new generation laptops.

    There is no sense to make support for W2000. What do you think about this?

    If this does not work, you can try to partition your HARD drive with fdisk to W2k installation configuration!

    You must go into the BIOS and change SATA "Compatibility" or "IDE" mode

    Or, if this option is not available, you should use the F6flpy driver is in the Intel Matrix Storage driver package.
