My Tecra 8000 can run XP Home?

Hi all, just joined here and spent the last hour going through the forums.
Ive recently bought a Tecra 8000 which has a HD 10 GB, 128 MB of RAM and Windows 2000. I thought that I was able to update everything and have since discovered that I can pass only safe RAM. I'll go 2 x 128 MB of ram, so I will be able to run XP home? Also, is there any other implementation of performance, I can do?
Thank you very much for any answer
SoC

Hello

You can upgrade the memory of the Tecra 8000 to max 256 MB (2x128MB)
These modules, you can use:
PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)
PC100 32 MB (PA3003U)

As far as I know this laptop came with the 6GB. You use 10 GB of HARD drive, well in my opinion, it should be possible to use a 12 GB but I'm not sure about bigger hard drives.

However, it should be possible to install the hope of Windows XP on this laptop.
On this site you will also find drivers that are needed:

    I am running vista home basic, how you can increase the size of the D: Recovery drive

    Hello

    You use the D: Partition of recovery in 3 different ways to reinstall the operating system.

    1. you press a particular key or key combination at startup, F10, F11, Alt + F10 etc. to begin the process of recovery in new condition (as you bought) in the event of system failure.

    2. start > programs > find software from the manufacturer of your computer > look for a recovery method

    3. you can do recovery disk to reinstall the operating system in case of hard drive failure.

    This will save you the purchase of the computer manufacturer's recovery disks.

  • Tecra 8000 BIOS update

    Help... my first visit on this forum looking for a kindly soul to out me of trouble. My wife has a Tecra 8000 (European version) with P2 400 mhz. To start, she "prepares for the BIOS update". I managed to find what seems to me to be good download on this site, the 'traditional' version for computers that do not run on 500 mhz or higher? Only problem is that I know this must be installed through FDD we have with the laptop, but we have no way to open the file on disk. Neither our computers from home or at work have a floppy drive to open and copy the downloaded file. We were wondering if anyone has a copy, or access to a floppy drive to produce a copy and send it to us? We would be more than happy incurred to help us.

  • Tecra 8000 and broadband connection

    Hi all

    I recently asked to watch Tecra 8000 a friends (PII 233) and give it a bit of an update... Don't know why the most I've ever done, is to add a few small components in my PC at home!

    My question is - is this possible for a connection broadband to be put in place - I looked all over the laptop, but don't find nothing which would suggest it is possible.
    (Also what other improvements should be can) watching us.

    Sorry for the noobness, but any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ben

    Wow this is really an oldie
    Broadband do you mean the LAN port?

    As far as I know that the Tecra 8000 was not equipped with LAN port.
    It s really amazing but it is a fact

    However, if you want to use LAN then I advise you to buy a PCMCIA (Cardbus 32-bit) LAN card that would be allows to connect the Tecra 8000 to LAN.

  • Tecra 8000 - need DVD player software

    I have an aging Tecra 8000 running XP Pro. It came with the standard DVD player (SD - C2102) I can not read the DVD. After a brief look at the electronic manual, it seems there is a MPEG2 decoder in there somewhere for DVD playback and it came originally with a program of DVD player who took advantage of this.

    This DVD player is not on the system and just WMP plays the audio and RealPlayer not playing the ball at all.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I don't know if DVD software has been bundled with this Tecra8000, but this is not very serious.
    In the internet, you will find many freeware DVD player.
    The new laptops Toshiba come with a preinstalled WinDVD program.
    But you can also use other programs such as PowerDVD.

  • Tecra 8000, linux & ethernet & pnp

    Hello

    I am trying to install Linux on a Toshiba Tecra 8000. The problem is with a chipset Realtek ethernet PCMCIA card (module: 8139too), which is recognized, but the network is unusable. I always get an error of SIOCSFFLAGS and assigned interruption is 0, which means that it has failed.

  • New Tecra A4 - 170 - slower than my old Tecra 8000

    Hey!

    Since yesterday, I have my NB again at home and so far, I'm happy with it!

    It has a processor M760, with 2 GHz, 100 GB HDD, FSB 533 and such - but it is slower than my old Tecra 8000 with PII and 366 MHz with only 8 GB of HARD drive.
    Y at - it a tip or something I should fix, or is it quite normal when there is now software for nearly 10 GB (nothing special, just the software more pre-installed desktop, antivirus and internet, no games) on this subject?

    Would be happy to help!

  • Tecra 8000: No memory available to connect with area map PC

    I have a Tecra 8000 running Win98 SE and use a card PCMCIA 3Com for my Internet connection. I was troubleshooting my computer on another issue and in the process disabled Cardbus PCMCIA Toshiba ToPIC controllers. After you have enabled these again once I am more able to communicate with the PC card and so unable to connect to the Internet.

    Card troubleshooting agent PC States: "Windows is not able to identify or use the inserted PC card device because there is no available memory area to connect with this device. You need to do an area memory available before this device can be used. Check the CONFIGURATION of your computer. A memory manager that is excluding the regions of superior memory between A000 and FFFF in the SYS file '.

    My Cardbus controllers are defined as follows:
    1 memory range - 0c 000000 - 0C000FFF
    2 memory range - 001000 0c - 0C001FFF

    My PC Card (PCMCIA) properties are as follows:
    Card services shared memory:
    Start 000c 0000

    While the PC Card Modem is recognized at the Port, it can be communicated with and error message is shown as follows:

    When I run the Diagnostics on the Modem does not respond to the exception of the following:

    "' Open Comm: cannot open port"

    Any help or advice will be appreciated.

    Have you tried to uninstall the Cardbus drivers? Not sure about the location in Win98 (in XP it is in Device Manager), go to "PCMCIA adapters" and uninstall all entries in controller.

    Reboot and Win98 will perform his routine "new hardware found". This is going to re - install drivers and with a bit of luck should solve your problem.
