How to reinstall Win2k on a Portege 7200?

I have an old 7200 Portege which needs to be reinstalled. I don't have any docking station but a CD-ROM connected by USB and a (Toshiba) separate floppy drive.

How can I reinstall WIndows 2000? I have the OS on a CD and all the necessary drivers on CD.
The 7200 won't boot from the CD.

There are two ways:

what you need are BACK-generic drivers for your USB CD-ROM; Maybe you can find them on the website of the manufacturer
then turning on your floppy drive with a good BACK-bootdisk with drivers appropriate for your CDrom drive.
... first repartitionate, then reformat your drive hard to * fat32 * (using fdisk to format your disk BACK)

... can find your USB CD-ROM, go to the installation of W2000 disc and find the "i386" directory, then launch the installation BACK with the command "winnt."
during installation, you can convert to NTFS, if you use a drive larger than 2 GB.

If you can't find the BACK drivers for your USB-, better get out the 2.5 "HD, use a USB-2, 5" HD-converter, reformat to * fat32 * with another PC and make it bootable by copying a simple operating system (BACK-6 or 7) him
Then copy the directory "i386" set of W2000 to HD installation CD, reinstall the HD in your 7200
After starting to do the same thing as described above:
CD i386
WinNT

more details you can find in the following threads:

+ PS: some... ??.. remove my connection as kjo information, so I had to make a new account.

  • Problem starting Portege 7200 - stops running and the light flashes

    I have a portege 7200 with the docker dock 2 dvd, no problems until this weekend, when it stopped starting.

    its plugged into the power outlet and it starts the first windows 98 after the screen time, works my virus checker then the screen goes black, computer stops and the led on flashes.

    ive tried to boot from a CD, using the battery, reinstall windows, all I can think about

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Have you tried to run the notebook without the docking station?
    If this isn't the case, then try it.
    Also, try to remove the battery for a while. Then try to start the unit only with the power adapter.

    But generally, if the LED flashes then this means that there is a hardware malfunction.
    The flash code can only be read by the authorized service partner. Guys are able to find the hardware failure.
    Well well, in this case, if the procedures described above don? help I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

    Good luck

    Hello

    It is my last ditch attempt to try and get some sort of difficulty for my Portege 7200.

    I will try to explain as best as I can, so this is.

    I had a system dual boot (Linux & Win98), did not want Linux HD so formatted and reinstalled Win98.

    Everything works except for a few problems that I hope you guys can help with.

    1. at startup (before windows logon) I am invited with cannot find VREDIR. VXD and a few other VXD files.

    2 screen dislikes the adapter PCI/AGP of Trident Cyberblade e4-128. Only the driver installed, that followed the instuction on the Toshiba tools and utilities cd-rom. keep getting invited to change my display at startup configuration. Once logged into windows screen does not match the entire screen (black border). Have used the companion disc one receives with the Portege to stretch the LCD. The screen is bigger, but the display quality is bad.

    Can anyone help as I am at a loss on any one of the above point.

    Kind regards

    Joe

    P.s. If there is more clarification or information then pls let me know and I'll try my best to get it.

    Hello
    most likely, these files are not at all. This message usually when these files become 'independent' in the registry, or when certain network/protocol device missing files.
    The problem with these files occurs generally when you install something in the network control panel that does not install correctly.
    If you have recently installed a network adapter or Protocol in your system, remove it and reinstall it.
    The IPX protocol is often also responsible for this message.

    I want to upgrade my Portege 7200 with the standard 12 GB of HDD to a 60Gb, my questions are:-

    Hello.

    regarding your first question:
    BIOS update is useful, but I don't know how much GB the most recent BIOS for P7200 can handle! Try a test!
    2. normally a 2.5 inch HDD fit. I don't know who the old we have size, but you can compare it with the OE ew!
    3. no
    4. normally the change of HARD drive is not difficult. The problem is "the BIOS detects the new HARD drive and the right size." But this only experience could help you!

  • Can Portege 7200 CT - I install Windows Xp instead of Windows 2000?

    Hello

    I have an old Portege 7200, Pentium III, 600 MHZ, RAM 320Mo.

    I use Windows 2000, remains stable and running (you know, never touch a system running...)

    However, due to new software that will work with Windows 2000 (Internet Explorer, anti-virus, software video / Cam and a little more) I need an OS-update. I have an old Windows XP-license (SP 2) and the idea of installing WinXP on this laptop.

    The power system should be fine, however, I've not found anyone with WinXP on this laptop. Someone at - he live with that? It work? What I have to do a BIOS update? I have version 1.80 and found here in the care of the side a 2.0 zip file

    Thanks a lot in advance - Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    Theoretically, you can install what you want on your laptop but I checked the Web from Toshiba site and it seems there are no XP driver for Portege 7200.
    What does that mean? Well, you can install XP but if you the drivers you need to collect these external Web sites, such as Intel or Realtek drivers. Maybe you will find all the drivers that you need.

    In my opinion the update of the BIOS should be one if it of necessary. This means that if the laptop works well, this update isn't necessary.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • Update CPU Portege 7200 is available?

    Hello Toshiba-community!

    I have a Toshiba Portege 7200 with the following configuration:

    -P3 600 MHz
    -320 MB OF RAM
    -12 GB HARD DRIVE

    However, the laptop works well, but the processor is pretty slow.

    So I tried _upgrade CPU_ with a faster P3.

    My questions are:
    Is this possible?
    What are the requirements?

    A lot, I searched the internet but I have not found a solution for this issue.

    Do you have a? :-)

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Usually these improvements are not easy, and in most cases to possible and undesirable.

    In most cases the different CPU can result in problems with the BIOS.
    In addition, the higher CPU speed would produce more heat dissipation that could lead to overheating.

    That is why it s not advisable to upgrade the processor
