• Question about the Installation of Windows XP on Portege 3500 home

  I have a second hand Portege 3500 with WXP tablet 2005 Server Pack 2 market version, but without the original disks. However, recently had a virus that did something to Prime the area on the hard disk. I have removed the virus but now get unexpected core dumps memory and system restarts when you try to connect to the internet.

  Question: can I go down a level and safely install ordinary WXP software to work around the problem or the acquisition of new version of WXP Tablet and reinstall the software to circumvent the problem of core dump?

  Installation of an operating system on this laptop, it's the hardest thing I have ever tried to do. Once start you, you will notice that there is no device boot attached to this pc. To install windows, yourself, the only options are to buy the cdrom drive for this laptop toshiba external or install via a network.

  The toshiba cdrom drive is now quite obsolete, more expensive and the external device only that the laptop starts from (I tried with the other external cdroms, DVDs, disks usb keys and hard). It seems extremely difficult to boot from lan unless you already manage it infrastructure of the company. It is possible in theory, but after 3 weeks I still hadn't thought about her.

  My solution at the end of the day was to send it to my local toshiba support center and ask them to re - install for me (he happened to have one in stock toshiba cdrom burners). I got the installation cd, so I guess you will need get these images from toshiba as well (or buy another os).

  Good luck!

• 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.

• Portege 3500 - installation of the OS

  The operating system on my laptop is corrupted and whenever I try to start I get the famous blue screen saying that Windows has encountered an error and stops down to avoid any data loss. I tried to connect a CD - ROM USB drive to see if I can reinstall the system Toshiba from him but the laptop does not recognize the drive. Don't know what my options are. I see a post on the installation of the local network. It has no configuration on the client, in which case, it will not work because I can't go beyond this blue screen on startup.

  A final note to say that I am currently based in Spain, even if I bought the laptop in the United Kingdom. The reason for this note is to see if I'll have to send the laptop to Toshiba here of reinstalling the operating system.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Hello

  As far as I know, Portege 3500 can be installed with recovery DVDs using just external card PC CD/DVD or Combo drive. The way is to contact some service partners and ask them if they can do it for you.

  The recovery procedure takes about 20 minutes and I think that it may not cost a lot of money.

• Portege 3500 - change HARD drive and deal with overheating CPU

  I recently bought a Portege 3500 without any support of discs etc. It doesn't have a CD or a floppy disk. It has 2 problems, I want to trouble.
  (a) HARD drive is obviously out because it is by clicking on me, and it presents a permanent red section during defragmentation.
  (b) the fans are at full power all the time, and the CPU is running slowly.

  (a) I had a new HARD drive that I reformatted on other laptops. I put a base Windows XP on this HARD drive and uploaded on my external that I attach to the Portege. I used "transfer... Assistant "to transfer files, folders, and settings to the new HARD drive but I don't know how to install the old Windows XP OS Tablet it." I have the product key of Microsoft for the operating system. Any suggestions would be helpful.

  (b) I believe that the transfer of heat from the CPU on the radiator is a failure, causing the processor to hot and therefore slows down. I already solved the same problem with a Dell by coating the top of the CPU with Artic Silver 5 paste. I cannot, however to get the CPU in the same Portege so I removed all the screws down. Does anyone know how to split the case without causing damage?

  Hello

  (a) Unfortunately, but I don t really know how you want to install the operating system without using the recovery CD or the windows CD.
  I searched a bit in this forum and found these messages on the installation of the OS on the Portege 3500:

  (b) on the Portégé, you should find the power saver utility. This utility allows you to change the different modes of cooling and processing speed.
  In my opinion, you should also check if the fans are clean. Especially the dust and debris inside of the laptop is responsible for cooling not properly of the CPU and other parts.

  But if you want to know how to remove the covers so I would recommend checking this site. Maybe you'll find something useful.

• Portege 3500 - how to reinstall XP?

  Hello.
  I have a problem with my portege 3500.

  The computer became very slow, it has never been formatted, and I suspect this years of highlights of program accumulated and parts is originally that it runs slowly. The original supplied with the computer disks were lost and even if I had this model does not have to put in a CD player. Its been to the local repairer for toshiba, but they do not have the proper software to format the drive and reload xp.

  Y at - it a type of toshiba recovery software that does not exist to format and reinstall the operating system? I tried to download various system tools to clean the drive, but nothing helped.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  The Toshiba recovery disc can t be downloaded. It s only comes with your laptop. Only chance is in touch with an authorized service provider. Maybe they have such a disc

  If this is not the case, your only chance is using a Microsoft XP disk. You can perform an installation without CD/DVD drive, if you copy the disk XP i386 folder on your HARD drive. Then start the winnt.exe file to start the installation of XP.

  Here in the forum, I founded a great announcement about. Just use the forum search! ;)

• Portege 3500: missing system32 - update the BIOS?

  Hello world

  I got a Portege 3500 PIII-M 1.33 GHz, which has been infected by a virus. I tried to reinstall Windows Xp, but the SYSTEM32 file is missing or damaged.

  I downloaded the BIOS driver and tried to install it via an external CD drive, but it did not work.
  Could you please help me at all?
  I am very concerned about the situation

  Can't wait to hear from you

  Thank you

  Davide

  Hello

  I can t believe that the virus may damage the BIOS!
  I think that you have updated the BIOS with the wrong procedure.
  Have you checked the BIOS update document?

  In any case, the fault of system32 has nothing to do with the BIOS and I don t understand why you started the update of the BIOS.

  The Portege 3500 does not support an internal hard drive, and so if you want to install the operating system, you must use a compatible external PC card reader.
  I assume you are using this player to start.

  If some error messages appear during the installation, you must first format the whole HARD drive and delete all partitions and then try again to boot from the recovery CD!

  Any suggestion?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Nothing to man the kind of WLan encriptación depends on material and not on the software (driver wlan).
  If the WLan card hardware does not support WPA, so you cannot use it and the driver update or new installation will not help!

  If you want to use WPA you have two options;
  you need to replace the Wlan card or you will use an external solution such as a PCMCIA card or USB WiFi key.

• Wireless driver is not install on Portege 3500

  Tosh Portege 3500 with ' Toshiba wireless lan mini pci card.
  XP SP2 tablet Edition

  I want to upgrade the driver of 7.43.0.9 to the new site 7.63.0.9 (because I need WPA security)

  The process seems to be okay, I chose wlags48.inf, several copied files, BUT in the end, I get the message
  An error occurred during the installation of this device
  Access is denied

  I can go back to the old driver tbhe without problem

  I tried to disable the adapter and even turn it off with the switch

  I tried to do the upgrade mode safe

  Anyone has any suggestions please?

  Steve

  Hello Steve

  I'm really skeptical about WPA security, but maybe you can relate more after installing the driver successfully. Download driver driver and extract it to the new folder created somewhere on the desktop. When you start the driver installation please choose the advanced option and navigate in that order.

  As far as I know you should not choose anything just browse in the right folder. Please try again.

• Portege 3500 - problems pcmcia

  Hello
  I bought a reader of external cd for my portege 3500.
  This is the original toshiba drive (connectet via a pcmcia 32-bit card and bootable)
  I run WindowsXP Tablett Edition on the tablet.

  When I plug the device in the slot pcmcia, nothing happens. (Windows Device Manager indicates also nothing new)
  Should I have all the drivers to use pcmcia devices or do I have to change something in the bios?

  The reader is 100% working, I tested it with another laptop.

  Hope you can help me
  Leon

  Look in the BIOS for a setting that allows you to switch between <->CardBus PCMCIA mode.

  Ensure that the slots are running ok in Device Manager.

  You have another PCCard you can test in the laptop?

  It is possible that the pins inside the PCMCIA slot can be bent or broken. Look in the slot with a torch and make sure that all the stems are straight.
