  None of these is available among the files on the Toshiba Portege R500 with Windows XP driver download site. Where can I get these drivers?

  Hello Ad

  I imagine that you are a little confused about missing drivers, but actually, you should install only the stuff offered on the Toshiba download page.

  Please, do it and test drive optical with a burning software like Nero and you will see that everything works correctly.

  One more thing about this document Instructions of facilities: this list is the same as the use for creating Toshiba recovery image. Recovery image contains many more things that you can find on the download page. I don't want to explain now why is it and for WXP feature on Portege R500 is not so important.

  Important for you is to download all the stuff and install it following this order facilities.

  All that s!

  One last thing: I have heard that Toshiba will create DVDs from Windows XP Home edition for professional laptops recovery. I'm sure you can order this DVD of Windows XP Home edition. Try to contact the partner of service allowed in your country and ask if they can order one for you.

• How to install Windows XP on Portege S100 home after HARD drive crash

  In my laptop s100-s1133 of a HARD drive crash. I buy a new one. Now, I can not intall OS (Windows XP). Windows is not installed, because it does not find my HARD drive. I got downlad drivers for toshiba (Toshiba RAID driver for XP (v1.3.8.0, 10/04/2006; 465 K)). After the installation of win98, it cannot detect the CD-rom...
  Y at - it a recovery for this model cd? or can say smb, how can I install WinXP on this model

  Hello

  You are right that you must install the first RAID driver before installing the operating system.
  If you have installed the RAID the installation Win driver will ask you to format the HARD drive.
  In this case, do NOT format the HARD drive because the RAID driver will remove and it is not possible to install the Windows XP.

  Now your question Win98; is on the page of the Toshiba driver you will find not all drivers for Win98 for this device and I assume that you need a particular driver for the CD/DVD drive to activate this device.

  I give you a warning regarding the use of the WinXP

  PS: On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Follow this guide!

  I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
  I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

  Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

  I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

• Portege R500: How to activate the modem umts / 3g under Kubuntu 8.04? (Fn + f8)

  Hello

  I just installed kubuntu x86_64 on portege R500, but I can't turn on the modem umts / 3g.

  On Windows, I use Fn + F8 to activate it. When I use the key combination a new light begins to Flash next to the Ref. Leucht wireless meaming 3 g/umts is turned on but I can´t do on Linux.

  I have can´t activate so lspci even can not find the umts modem.

  I tried an option in the bios saying "Device Config: all devices / Setup by OS" (I tried the first option all devices), but I can't yet find the Linux umts modem.

  I also downloaded the utility toshet [http://www.schwieters.org/toshset/] but didn t find any option related to 3 g/umts modems.

  Any idea on how to activate it?

  Thanks in advance.

  FN key features are controlled by the tool designed by Toshiba. Toshiba doesn't support Linux for now and as a result there is no Linux tool to achieve this.

• Portege R500 - Toshiba does sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
  I have now installed a version of Windows 7 without activation to see if all the drivers are working (Windows 8 is not supported I know).

  Everything looks good and Windows tells me now as planned, it is not authentic and propose to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems that MS sells not more Windows 7).

  Toshiba sells licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 OEM?

  It would be a shame to throw it away because of this.

  Thank you
  Markus

  All you can do is to order a Toshiba Recovery disk.
  The recovery disc contains exactly the same operating system that was preinstalled on the laptop on the first day of purchase.

  In your case, this means that you will get the recovery with Win XP OS disk.

  As Timox said: If you want to use the other system than Win XP, you must purchase the Microsoft operating system.

• Portege R500 and Novatel Modem 3G on Windows 7

  Hello

  someone have a solution for getting the Modem 3 G build-in novatel works on Windows 7 in a Portege R500?

  I tried to install the driver for Vista 32 bit on my W7-Ultimate32bit. I have tried this driver:

  http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/Tracker.jsp?file=http%3A%2f%2fsupport1.toshiba-tro.de%2ftedd-files2%2F0%2fwmb-20071115155201.zip

  Installation starts fine, but the installer then a fallback and stops.

  What do I have to wait for a W7 driver?

  Klaus

  > Should I wait for a W7 driver?
  I think so. You can try to use the Vista driver but there is no guarantee for correct material work.
  I think that Win7 drivers will be available soon.

• Portege R500: Explorer crashes cured by installing the Driver Sound R600

  The equipped Portege R500 of Vista is a great phone except that mine Windows Explorer (not IE) kept crashing without obvious reason. The taskbar would suddenly become unresponsive and then I would get the opportunity to restart Explorer. "Problem Reports and Solutions" shows 129 these events in the 44 weeks since I bought it, and it is not my main computer, so I don't use it every day

  In any case, I think I found a solution which is to replace the R500 Realtek Sound Driver (version 6.0.1.5400) by the one for the R600 (version 6.0.5655). Since doing the crash seems to have stopped.

  The idea was that almost all of the events in question 'AppHangXProcB1', ' waiting on the name of the Application: svchost.exe:AudioClientRpc', and ' bucket ID: 157806391'. Research put in question the Realtek Sound driver and revealed many reports indicate that a similar problem with other laptops.

  The original version 6.0.1.5400 is still topical for R500 according to European and us sites Toshiba. However, the R600 version is 6.0.5655 dated dated 17/11/2008. As the R500 and R600 so similar I installed and have had no accidents since then. Previously I tried to upgrade to version 6.0.1.5624 (from Windows Update on 2009-03-04) and 6.0.1.5477, which Toshiba Canada for the R500 question, but they were no better than 6.0.1.5400.

  I haven't noticed any bad Effect to have the pilot of 'bad '. Of course, it would be nice to have advice from Toshiba on this and to know if other people have had similar problems with their R500, but in the meantime, it's great to be able to use it without the bar all the time freezing of tasks.

  Hi Johnson

  Thanks for this report. This is the solution and the very interesting question.
  Let's see if someone else will report on the same or similar topic.

  To be honest, I can't imagine that Windows Explorer may hang so easy with the settings.
  All the preinstalled images are tested and if there is a serious problem you need to Toshiba. But anything is possible.

• Portege R500 - install Win XP - no hard drive detected

  Hello

  I just bought a new Toshiba Portege R500 notebook - 12 H with Windows Vista, and I would like to format the hard drive and install Windows XP instead.

  I have a Windows XP CD (the one from my old PC), I insert the disk and start the laptop computer on the installation of the Windows XP CD to load, I get the screen asking me "push F3 to quit, entry to install XP" (as usual).
  But when I click on 'install', it says no hard drive has been detected, and I wonder if I have any additional drivers.

  How is it possible that my 120 GB HD is not detected? It is in a format that does not know Windows XP? Can I get a driver, how can I install it? Can I upgrade the bios?

  Please help me ;)

  Thanks for all,

  Missing driver SATA.
