• Various installation with the Portege R100 and Windows XP issues

  Hello

  I recently bought a used Portege R100. It came without OS and I wanted to install XP SP2.

  I know that restorations only work with PCMCIA readers adapted, but the HARD drive is formatted, so there is no recovery possible I guess.
  Here are my problems:
  -with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD player the Windows installation CD is recognized, and it starts to load the XP drivers until he wants to start copying files installiation--> then I get the blue screen of Windows with the error 00 x 7 (virus or driver)
  -the same thing happens with my former W2k Pro installation disc.
  -With the even more ancient W98SE, strange things are happening too: installation seems to work fine, but when it comes to start with W98SE, for the first time, the system hangs up with pixelgarbage.
  -Make the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot doesn't work anymore.
  -J' also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! It worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copy of Windows I386 folder on my hard drive with the volkov Commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So I got hav files on my drive but after running Windows NT in the i386 folder, the system hangs after some time, when it starts to copy the files to a temporary folder.

  So I tried almost everything I know. at this moment I am download knoppix to try it.

  I ran Memtest86 and 9 Diskmanager to test the RAM and HARD drive, finished two withut errors, so the priority of main parts in the installation process seems to work. Maybe it's that my IDE controller is broken?
  I have no idea, WHY does he not move windows!

  Help is hot!

  Thank you

  It should work out that way, run you own your HD first in Fat32format - file-system, otherwise it won't work!
  Don't forget to use "smartdrive' in your BACK-commissioning, otherwise it will take a lot of time, even the 'freeze' is possible.

• Portege Z930 - need of external controller for SSD drive internal

  My Board TOSHIBA Portege (ex-portable) (Z930) burned with hot water. I removed the small SSD and now need to transfer the data with a USB drive on another PC.

  I borrowed from a friend a SATA USB adapter with 2 interfaces and even small connectors for SATA was not small enough for SSD from TOSHIBA. Apparently, I need a special SATA USB adapter that installs on TOSHIBA Portege mSata.

  The reason why I wrote here is because there are many SATA USB adapters in internet advertised, but it seems that they have larger connectors. While TOSHIBA calls the marked thereon mSATA SSD, but several people call mSATA for one size larger SSD.

  I don't want to order that something does not again. Is there someone who already removed SSD Portege?
  Could you give me a link for such adapter?

  The laptop was equipped with a chip HM77 Intel Panther Point and with the launch of the Intel chip allowed laptop manufacturers to integrate SSD form factor mSATA (micro SATA).

  There is also a difference between the mSATA form factors
  The mSATA being limited to four chips (NAND) only, Intel has developed a new standard mSATA called m2 or mSATA2.

  In many cases, this is also called NGFF (new generation form factor)
  This standard m2 is longer and has more low a profile

  I'm not sure if this Z930 Portege supports mSATA or mSATA2, but you check the internal SSD drive where this information should be available

• Re: Disabled the connection Wireless on Win 7 - Portege R600

  I installed Windows 7 (new installation) on Toshiba Portege R600 laptop and the built in 3 G modem does not work.
  When I run Toshiba Wireless Manager, he wrote "the Radio is off. To activate, activate Mobile switch. ».

  I'm sure that this switch is on, but pass connections wireless using Fn + F8 does not work then maybe it is off but I can't allow it. I have installed all updates of drivers such as: Wireless, Wlan driver manager.
  BT Stack, etc.

  Does anyone have an idea?

  Hello

  Wait a minute;
  You want to activate; Modem WiFi or 3G?
  Please note that WiFi is not 3G modem.

  Don't forget that you have chosen and activated the modem 3G and not the WLan.

• Portege A600 - Windows 7 installation CD/DVD device driver

  Hello.

  I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my Portege A600.

  I tried to boot from the DVD, flash. I changed all of the possible settings in the BIOS, I have updated the BIOS to version 3.0, but I still have this bloody error "a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing". Is there a place where I can download this driver to show the installer without having to download a 100 TB of pron?

  Or is there a way to fix my problem?

  Hello

  First of all there is no special driver CD/DVD. It of a part of Windows 7 and so there are no drivers available.

  It would be interesting to know when you get this error exactly.

  Maybe your defective CD/DVD drive. You can test another?

• Portege 3020ct: RTC battery replacement

  I have an old Portege 3020ct and * I need to replace the 2.4 V - RTC * (real time clock) * battery *.
  I already deleted the keyboard unit and the rest of the cover "palm". But I could not find the battery anywhere.
  Anyone know where I can find the RTC battery?

  Thanks for the help!

  Eh, it's that old laptop model.
  I presume you have disassembled the machine full, right?

  RTC battery is placed on the system board. For the RTC battery free you need to disconnect the speaker of PJ16 beam. It is covered with adhesive tape. RTC battery is connected to the PJ12. It is covered with insulation of RTC.

  I hope that this some info will help you find the way to remove the RTC battery.

• Portege 2000 - new installation using the PCMCIA CD-ROM XP

  I try to install XP on Portege 2000 using the official PCMCIA Toshiba CD-ROM drive.

  Install the XP disk boots fine, but after that Setup copied the files it blue screen (BSOD blue). I'm not very tech savvy, but I think it means that the BIOS can 'see' the PCMCIA CD-ROM, but that the real image of XP loaded by the installation program cannot, probably due to missing drivers for the PCMCIA CD-ROM?

  Then, I thought that maybe I could use F6 to load additional drivers during the initial installation, but it is beyond me to create the right set of files required. I know that you can download the Freecom drivers, but I don't know what are the driver files from CD to use and how to create from scratch the txtsetup.oem file right.

  Does anyone know how to properly use F6 and load the drivers for it?

  I found a lot of messages suggesting I copy the installer to the HARD disk and launch the installation from there. My problem is that the XP installation is an upgrade CD, so I will ask you at a certain time to insert a previous Windows CD and if at that time there I don't have a working CD-ROM drive...

  First post on this forum so be nice - I did a search but not find a thread with a real solution, but of course if I miss a please report!

  Hello

  I managed to install Windows XP Home the Portege 2000 using the PCMCIA reader but I ve used recovery disks original Toshiba which includes the correct driver for external optical drive.

  So far I tried not to install Windows XP Home edition, using the Microsoft installation disc.

  Maybe you should get the disks of facilities and not use this upgrade disk. I think that on this path, you will be able to install WXP as suggested when you copy data from facilities at the disk directly.
  Have you tried to get the original recovery disc Toshiba WXP?

• 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.

  Good bye

• Portege 3500 - common module installation does not work

  I have a Portege 3500, I downloaded the good common module for this model I decompress a common model, click setup.exe and nothing is happen

  I think Kouros with hourglass and nothing no configuration.

  Hello

  I checked the page European of Toshiba and found protégé 3500 common Modules for deposited XP edition version 5.04.00TE

  All must be downloaded first, then extract it and then run the setup.exe file.

  In many cases you won't see anything on the screen because the complete procedure of installation is running in the background.
  However, I recommend to download again, unzip properly, and then repeat the installation.

• Re: Installation of Win XP on Portege R500 12 q

  Hello
  I would like to install Microsoft Win XP on my Portege R500 12 q (128 GB SSD drive)

  If I start the installation of the CD, there is normally the possibilety to install a third-party driver through by pressing F6. But the problem is, that nothing happens if I press F6 at this time (tried more than once).
  OK if I wait, I get the possibilety to specify the mass storage, because the installation program does not find any. If I want to install the drivers now, is the only possibilety to install drive A: (floppy drive) but I don't have a floppy drive.
  I have not found the driver SSD - to the Hompage, but I think that it is included in the Matrix Storage Manager, isn't it?

  It is really difficult to install Win XP on a SSD? Please help me.
  Thanks in advance.
  Greetings
  Stefan

  > Ok if I wait, I get the option of specifying mass storage, because the Setup program does not find any. If I want to install the drivers now, the only possibility is to install from drive A: (floppy drive), but I put t have a floppy drive.
  If you want to include the SATA driver using the F6 option then you MUST USE the floppy drive. But if you have a USB floppy drive, then you can use nLite software to include the SATA drivers in the new created XP CD.
  The SATA driver is part of the Intel storage Manger and you can download if from here:

  [Intel storage utility eat 32-bit Configuration diskette (201ko) 8.6.0.1007 | http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?url=/17061/eng/f6flpy3286.zip&DwnldId=17061&ProductID=2101&lang=e ng]

  For more information about nLite Internet search!

  > If I change the setting again in the bios I always get a blue screen, but I can't install the driver of the matrix (SSD) as long as I n t, setting change and I think I don t use the SSD speed possible.
  It is clear. You will always get a BSOD if you would replace the SATA mode in the BIOS after installing any OS. If you have installed the operating system, you can not change the SATA mode in the BIOS.
  But if you want to change it again once, then you will need to install the new OS using the SATA drivers

• Portege R100: No restore CD - is WinXP installation possible?

  Hello!

  I had recently a well used old Portege R100 with a Toshiba PCMCIA CD that comes with it. He unfortunately did not come with the recovery CD and the hard drive has been formatted to him!

  I tried to install WinXP Pro many times now come to the conclusion, sad every time - the computer starts successfully in Windows Setup, but after finishing to load all the files needed it crashes with a Stop (0x0000007B) error. After some research I realize it is because the default XP install disk not having not sufficient not all drivers for the R100 hardware found on the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to install from a standard Microsoft XP disk or is it the only way to use the Toshiba recovery disks?

  Or even the creation of my own recovery CD by adding the necessary drivers for a standard XP disk?

  Thank you very much!

  Marko

  Hello Marko

  As far as I know the image of recovery for this unit contains the driver for the outdoor unit and installation with recovery media is very easy. I didn t try to install Microsoft WXP but if your device has a drive HARD with two partitions try to copy the CD of Windows XP Home edition on the second partition and start the installation from there.

• Installation of Win2k on Portege 3440CT

  I just hand over a (damaged) Portege 3440CT without a hard drive. I have no external drives, but I am trying to install an operating system. I can boot in DOS, if I format a hard drive to make it bootable (I used a Toshiba non bootable USB utility or by placing it in a machine DOS from a floppy).

  If I put the installation of Win2K disk files and run I386\winnt.exe installation begins, copies the files to the hard drive (no matter whether they are in the same partition) and restart ' to continue installation', except that it isn't. He just restsrts and is there with a flashing _.

  Am I missing something? Did I try already worked? Any suggestions?

  Neil

  PS. the damage is one of the hinges, I want to make a picture frame.

  Hello, Neil

  I'm glad to hear that you have installed W2K on this laptop old but nice. Thanks for the comments. If you have time, maybe you explain in detail how you did that. In my view, it may be useful for other people who have that old model laptop.

  I assume that you have created two partitions on the HARD drive, copied the I386 folder on the second and from there begins the process facilities. Am I right about that?

• IDE ERROR on my Portege 3020CT #0

  I just got a #0 ERROR IDE on my Toshiba Portege 3020CT. After this error, Insert System Disk in drive. Press any key when ready... pop.

  Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

  Hello

  I don't know, but this error can indicate that there is a problem with the HARD drive. This kind of error will also occur if the unit cannot identify the CD player, but in this case it shows error IDE #1.

  On this path, it is not easy to give you an exact answer, but I'm afraid that your HARD drive is defective. If you find what is the problem please let us know.

  Good luck!
