No option of virtualization in the BIOS with the Portege R500

Hello

Thought I'd post a new thread as the old man seems to be dead...

I just want to know if someone has been able to use an extensions of virtualization Portege R500 processor, Linux, Windows or any other OS. I guess that this will become a requirement of mainstream with windows 7 now out.

If you have been able to use it, could you please put your laptop model correct (it should be on a sticker on the bottom)

This was my original post, showing that the CPU must support her:

I HAV a Portege R500 (or a model equivalent, bought the Japan), v BIOS 1.60 and everytime I try to use applications that supports virtualization extensions, I can't. I use linux as my OS, and he tells me that the virtualization extensions have been disabled by the BIOS.

However, I can't find an option for this in the BIOS! R500 manual (form available from the toshiba support area), there should be an option, just after "core multi processing", I can see:

Virtualization technology
Sets of virtualization technologies enable or disable the Intel Virtualization
Technology installed in the processor.
Virtualization technology Intel is the technique that allows a machine to
operated under the name of multiple virtual machines.
Virtualization technology is compatible with some models.
The disabled command does not use the Intel Virtualization
Technology.
The use of Intel Virtualization Technology Enabled command.
Virtualization technology allows.
Activated
Disables (default) virtualization technology.
People with disabilities

But it isn't here!

In addition, I see that virtualization is supported by the processor - the 'vmx' flag is present. The processor is model U7600, it should be supported. You can see from the Intel Web site:

http://processorfinder.Intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLV3W

Anyone know if it is available through he windows BIOS app (although it is not documented in the manual)? Anyone know if it is possible to contact Toshiba and ask them?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

Are you sure there is NO virtualization option in the BIOS?
Have you checked all the pages?

I found your other thread on the clearing of password and you said this doesn t work, but maybe it works you need to check the VT option yet!

More as you say, the processor must support the VT to VT option in the BIOS the Intel Core 2 Duo processor ULV U7600 support VT

As far as I know there are also a few sets of cell phones where the VT option is not available in the BIOS, but if the processor takes in charge the VT VT is enabled by default as well as the VT option is not present in the BIOS.

  • Is it possible to put 2 GB of memory in the Portege R500-11 b?

    Hello.
    is it possible to put 2 GB memory in toshiba R500-11 b?
    because by default, there is 1 GB of RAM?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey!

    Normally, it can be upgraded up to 2 GB memory. Therefore, you need DDR2-667 modules with 200pins.

    You can buy it from each computer store or an authorized service provider. Upgrading RAM is also fairly easy. ;)

  • Satellite L875D: There is possibility to enable virtualization in the BIOS?

    Hello

    I want to buy Toshiba L875D-S73.

    I know supports CPU AMD - V required for the performance of like Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization.
    But I don't hear anything about BIOS.

    Is - this ability to enable virtualization in the BIOS?
    Maybe you know?

    Unfortunately I do not have this model laptop but I guess there is no option for virtualization in the BIOS. If the processor supports the it, it must be enabled by default.

    I m not sure but I think that laptops equipped with platform AMD do not support virtualization technology, so in my opinion, you should buy model with no D in the name. All models with D have the AMD platform.

    Contact your local dealer and ick information on other models of laptops.

  • Portege R500: external monitor does not work with the Port Replicator Port 2 and DVI

    I have a Portege R500 running Vista with a slim Port Replicator II and digital monitor Viewsonic.
    I connected the monitor to the DVI port on the port replicator and got it to work OK.
    Press fn + F5 would switch between the computer screen and the external monitor.

    Then it stopped working, and I can't make it work at all. F5 recognizes just the laptop screen.

    If I connect an analog display, it is fine, and I can pass between the two screens without difficulty.

    The strangest thing is that, if I reboot when the Portege R500 is docked, the digital monitor begins by displaying the boot sequence, but then the signal is lost as soon as the screen stops the display of the progress (in low resolution) bar.

    I spent an hour on the phone to support Friday, and he made me nowhere.
    They finished by saying that he should never have worked! So what is the DVI port because then?

    Any ideas?

    David

    Connect your monitor directly to your laptop and see if it is recognized and you can go through FN + F5 between the two views.
    If it works, then connect with port replicator, and then try again.

    It's probably best if you reinstall display drivers. Maybe there are new too on the download page.

  • Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

    My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

    Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

    Help!

    Thank you.

    Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

    But it is a tricky thing.
    The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

    I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

    You can then use this CD for installation.

  • Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

    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.

    Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

    Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

    Thank you

    AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
    I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

  • Portege R500 - Bad optical drive delays the start - how to fix?

    The Portege R500 has recently begun does not start. Initially there not some time later, frequently. By chance, I discovered that if I left alone for a minute or two, he will continue to start. That and the noise coming from the optical driver, made me suspect the problem was not with the HARD drive, as I feared at first, but with the optical driver.

    I read in the thread below that other people had this problem. MrBear mentions * I pulled it out again and pushed on the Ribbon connecting the CD-ROM to make sure they were safe. Turned on again and he pulled up without problem! *

    Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=43300&tstart=0]

    Could someone clarify in what ribbons must be treated? Only those who are visible by opening the drive? Or it is necessary to open the notebook?

    Furthermore, if I booted into Windows, it stopped again, for a minute or two, while Windows is loading. With Ubuntu, there is no such problem. Perhaps Windows tries to communicate with the optical driver for some reason any.

    Tnaks for any help!

    Hello!

    Is your laptop still under warranty? If so I put t understand why you try to solve the problem by yourself. Go to the nearest EPA and ask a technician for help. These guys are very useful and they have the most experience on laptop repairs.

    On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

    And the problem with Windows, it is difficult to tell why Windows stops for a minute. Maybe it s a software problem so disable all programs that you start n t need in msconfig.

    Yes, you must use the FN + F5 to switch to the external monitor or external projector, etc.
    You must first connect the laptop with a projector, while both devices are turned off.
    After connecting the projector you could power the laptop.

  • Portege R500: unable to connect the remote DVI monitor via Dynadock

    Hello

    I just connected Dynadock (DVI) with my Portege R500. The cell would be supported - according to Toshiba - but my experience confirms that Dynadock is not able to access the DVI ports. This implies, that Dynadock is nothing more than the USB HUB.

    My setup: Vista 32 company b (CZE edition), the latest patches, Toshiba R500.

    Software: latest dynadock software 2.3 c.

    Symptom: I can't connect to the remote DVI monitor via the dynadock, there are only two external panels with 800 x 600, but Vista does not allow me to choose.

    More information: software Dynadock requires to run without Microsoft Defender, otherwise it blocks the service: DisplayLinkService; file:C:\Program Files\DisplayLink base Software\DisplayLinkService.exe
    If you turn off the MSDef, the "error 2738" message appears when you connect the dynadock and when Vista tries to install a missing drivers for you.
    Yes, I know the VBS question and the problem is not caused by VisualBasic - VBS "Hello World" runs.

    If you think always, Toshiba Dynadock is compatible with Toshiba R500, then press Fn + F5 and look at your logs and you should find something like:
    In English: igfxext.exe throws an exception 0xc000000d, offset 0x0000f9f8.

    I look forward to the comments, advice etc. If you are able to transmit this bug report to a responsible engineer, do please.

    Hello Leo

    As far as I know, Toshiba has not designed for laptops models own only Dynadock and it can be used on every laptop or fixed. Because of this, I think that this statement about model of care is not so important for this problem.

    Toshiba provides devices and software. To connect using the USB port, and these ports must each computer or laptop. I hope that you have installed the software by following the on-screen instructions (device of should not be connected to the start-up of the plant).

    Is your Portege docked the host or you have connected Dynadock directly in Portege s USB port?

  • Enable hardware virtualization in the BIOS

    I'm trying to run a virtual machine on virtualbox, but it needs hardware virtualization enabled in my bios (it says).

    I have a HP Pavillion a6347.it with Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q6600, where hardware virtualization should be possible (read this: http://ark.intel.com/products/29765/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q6600-(8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB... ).)

    How can I enable hardware virtualization in my bios?

    Thanks for all your support, I'm Italian sorry my bad English please

    If you have the option of hardware virtualization, virtualization or virtualization technology material that it should be located under the tab power options. "Other options which can be found under power options include"after current AC power', ' NX not execute ", S5 max energy saving" and "WOL in S5. If you don't see the option of virtualization on power, look through all the tabs options. If you don't see the option of virtualization anywhere in your BIOS, it is likely that it is not supported by your computer.
