Install Windows 7 beta on Portege M800
Hi - I was wondering if there was potential problems by installing windows 7? I just bought an m800 but I want to get rid of VIsta
Also can I use hardware virtualization on this machine? I need XPmode
Thank you
I can see the virtualization topic of your second post so we can chat about it here.
Back to Win7. Potential problems? Strange question. You know that Win7 is still not released and Toshiba didn't start official support for it. This means that no driver or Toshiba specific tool is available for download. You can try to install stuff of Vista, but above all, it will not work.
For example, you can install it and see what it looks like, but you will never be able to have fully installed OS with all the necessary components such as drivers, tools and utilities.
The choice is yours. ;)

Since I installed Windows Live beta to run hotmail & messenger sometime in August, I get various error messages. They are:
(1) Wlsstartup.exe GetHeight@CRImage@BEHXZ not found.
(2) Uxcore.dll. not found
This causes me problems with Facebook games.
How can I fix?
Windows updates send me "service pack 1", that does not solve the problem.
Since Firefox works my better games on Facebook, I installed. She needed Windows Presentation Foundation, which has been
taken out of SERVICE. I turned it back on. But, I think that the Windows Live Beta still causes me to be unable to do the things in games, I have to do to play/win them.
Please help, thanks.

Windows 8 Beta - cannot verify the product key
Hi all
After you have installed Windows 8 beta last year on my laptop, I bought the upgrade to the full version of Windows 8 and received a product key by e-mail as part of the purchase or download. Now, I'm trying to use the same disk of Windows 8 Beta to install the OS on my desktop. After you enter the product key, I get a message saying "cannot verify the product key - check your installation media."
Can someone explain why the beta key does not work and if I get a new key?
Thank you
No, you can't, but what you can do is, use the following link to download and create the installation media that you can use to upgrade other computers.
Please note, if other computers are running versions of 32-bit or 64-bit, you will need to create a respective installation media corresponding to the architecture of the facilities running on these computers (32 or 64-bit):
If you must reinstall Windows 8 or you want to install it on one partition and you do not have installation media, you can create it using the installer of Windows 8. To create a support, you must use a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and it must have the same architecture (32 or 64-bit) than the PC you want to install Windows 8.1 on. You will also need your product key of Windows 8.
You can usually find your product key in your online order information, in the confirmation email of your purchase, or on the DVD packaging. The product key will look something like this: XXXXX - XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.
Once you have your product key and you are on a PC running Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows, follow these steps:
Run the program installation of Windows 8 .
When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run
When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1.
When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1, select install by creating media and then click Next.
Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.
To create a USB flash driveClick on a USB flash drive.
Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.
When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.
If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.
To create a DVDClick on the ISO file, and then select the location where to save the ISO file.
Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.
Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.
Please note that you will have a unique individual license (product key) for each computer you want to upgrade.

Re: Portege M800 - cannot get bluetooth installed in Windows 7
Hi, I have a portege M800 PPM81C-07602D. It came with windows vista but I reinstalled Windows 7, and now I can't get the bluetooth drivers to install. I tried the old drivers and the new drivers windows vista 7, but when I run the installation I get the message "Please plug in the bluetooth device and click OK."... If I click ok it appears again. I don't know why it wouldn't find the bluetooth internal... I don't think that there is a physical switch to BT anywhere, and I tried to find out if it had been disabled in the bios but nothing in there on this subject... so... I'm out of ideas.
Anyone has any ideas I can try?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!Toshiba Bluetooth stack can be installed if the BT module is activated correctly use FN + F8 key combination to activate the BT module.
After making that BT should be recognized and installed correctly (you will have to entered BT in Device Manager). -
Portege M800 - refund of Windows Vista license but how?
After that my A100 finally broken I wanted to buy a new laptop (Portege M800). But unfortunately, it comes with Windows Vista and other software that I have any use.
According to my interpretation of the license agreement, that I cannot agree to all conditions of it. Somewhere in the EULA, there is a statement that asks me to return the license to the dealer or the manufacturer for a refund if I am not prepared to sign.
The seller I bought this laptop since would not accept the license and the laptop which is unacceptable to me.
Y at - it a program that allows me to buy this laptop without software?
I want to say this right is granted by the local laws and in addition to this software to the group a hardware device is illegal in my country.So where can I get the promised refund?
Hey Buddy
Reading this post I had to smile a little bit :)
The laptop comes with preinstalled Microsoft Windows OS I think that it s VistaThis OS comes with the laptop.
Of course, you can install another OS if you want you have to buy it and you can install it
But I put t believe that you will get no refund license Vista of someone if you want to useI've never heard of such thing and never met someone who got a refund of such license

Portege 2000 - how to install Windows XP without ODD and FDD?
I have this Toshiba Portege 2000 old OS crashed a few days ago. This laptop is not an optical drive and a floppy drive.
The first thing is mind is to purchase an external optical drive which I did, but it does not seem to boot from it. I have trouble to install Windows XP but nothing helped.
Can you guys please help me?The last option I have in mind would be to install Windows XP on a network. The portege 2000 is able to boot from PXE, the thing is that I don't know how to do it! Can someone tell me how to boot from PXE?
Thank you very much.
I don't know Mr. but as far as I know if copy you the Windows XP CD to HARD disk and then you start from external floppy drive (it should work) you can start the installation.
Copy the XP CD to your HARD drive with a drive enclosure external DRIVE on another computer, create a boot floppy XP and start from it.
Go to the I386 folder and start the WINNT. EXEOr you use the CD/DVD drive from another computer with the netbootdisk. I found this with Google:

Portege R700 - install Windows 7 via Windows Deployment Services - error
Hello
I have a set of 8 Portege R700 PT310-E computer laptop on which I need to install Windows 7 Professional. I want to do this by using our company Windows deployment server (using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 to generate the image). While it is loading all software, our company uses.
I have been using the version 32 bit Windows 7 and do a PXE boot from the server. The problem I encountered is that when the laptop starts the installation of the server image. It loads successfully, but does not because it can't find the network device.
What I find strange that I loaded all R700 network drivers in the boot.wim file. I also tried to download all Windows 7 Pro LAN drivers remaining on the Intel site and load those as well as the pilot on the Toshiba site, but it has also generated the same error.
Someone at - it experience to install via WDS on the R700 model? Is there a fix for this, because we are very impressed by these laptops, but being only unable to install via WDS is more annoying.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Dominic :-)
Hello
What exact version of R700 do you use? Also what version of BIOS is installed?

Can not install Windows on Portege M200
Hello
I bought a Portege M200 opportunity. I discovered that the HARD drive was broken, so I bought a new one, plus a (160 GB)
I know the problems Porteges can do when triing to install the OS on them, so I used this tutorial for installation of the network:
[http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/02/01/how-to-boot-from-the-network-pxe-boot-with-tftp-and-windows-pe/ | http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/02/01/how-to-boot-from-the-network-pxe-boot-with-tftp-and-windows-pe/]everything worked well. then, my xp installation 'button' was grey, so I went with this tutorial:
http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/07/30/option-to-install-Windows-is-grayed-out-when-running-network-install/that worked well, too. The installer kopies some files and the desire to do a restart. So he brought me to Windows PE, I typed 'wpeutil reboot' as described in the second tutorial. My PC has started again and then nothing happens.
I chossed "boot from HDD" and all I can see is a black screen with a small flashing underscore white top.IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. I also tried another method, for example the back of things (like I got [my R100 to work | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=120473]), with the same result.
Thanks a lot for your help!
You have a smaller HARD drive you can try?
The M200 may be limited to 120 GB HDD due to the LBA48 137 GB limit. More info here: http://www.48bitlba.com/
Ultimately, you must use the original Toshiba Portege M200 recovery disk to reinstall Windows. You can order from Toshiba https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Portege R500 - anyone using the DVI Port Replicator II on WIndows 7 Beta?
Hello
I'm using the beta version of WIndows 7 on my R500 and runnig it's just well except the DVI Port (on the Port Replicator II Slim).
I have installed this software Fingreprint, battery bluetooth (which are recommended as a solution by the Action Center) and the 'TOSHIBA value added together"which adds the management software of power supply, control over the 2 hardware buttons and gives the FN menu to the screen to control the functions FN1-9.
I think I can say it's definatively a driver problem, because if I start the R500, the windows loading screen appears on my screen, but when he switches to the desktop, the external screen turns off and the desktop on the screen of the laptop. Also, no chance to activate via FN + F5.
I tried with the driver Windows 7 buildin, the latest driver from intel (15.8.3) and the vista driver provided by toshiba (7.14.10.1244), but none of them work: (unlucky
BTW: the vga output works, but only UNdocked :(
Does anyone have a solution or a tip what to do or try?Hello!
First of all, I have to say that Windows 7 Beta is as its name the indicates that a beta so there might be some problems and it s not sure that everything works fine with Windows 7 Beta.
Your problem: you see the second monitor in the display settings? There you can active it and mark the option extend my Windows desktop on this monitor.
Lastly but not the least you should do an update of the BIOS if you have n t the latest version.
Good bye

Portege M800 - after Windows 7 upgraded FN keys no longer works
Hello
I upgraded my * portege M800 * bought * Canada * for * 64-bit Windows 7 *.
Everything is good except the keyboard. It's a Canadian bilingual keyboard with 86 keys with 13 function keys and a buttons on console with 6 keys (cut, cd/dvd, play, stop, previous, next).
I don't update all the drivers because it works very well with Windows 7 drivers.The problem is:
-function keys (Fn +..) no longer works
-the buttons of the console with 6 keys (play, pause, etc.) no longer workWhat I did:
-check the keyboard driver in Device Manager: it is a microsoft driver
-a attempted to update a driver toshiba but * he didn't find in the list of drivers for windows 7 or vista on toshiba website *: [http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/PORTEGE_M800_64_cae.htm]So, I don't know if it's a driver problem or something else?
Concerning
Hey,.
These special functions of the FN keys and multimedia keys have nothing to do with the keyboard driver. There is no update driver in addition to the keyboard. There is only the Windows standard driver that can be used.
The point is that you have Toshiba Value added Package and Flash Cards Support utility. If you purchased the M800 in the Canada, I guess that it of a model Canadian and as a result, you can download all drivers here:

But when its load to the top of the windows Xp cd it gives me a BSOD somewhere near the end of loading the CD (it always stops on 'Setup starts windows').Now, I thought that this could be a hard drive problem, so I have a drive hard "nine", but this still does not work (this problem exists on two laptops).
