Portege 3490, installation of an operating system?

I just bought a 2nd hand portege 3490 and I was wondering what the easiest way is to put an operating system on it can I just whack in a USB CD-ROM and do it this way?

Hello

normally, you need a PCMCIA CD-ROM because you must start the operating system installation CD when you want to install a new OS!

But in my opinion, it should also work with a USB disk, a Boot disk and a USB CD Rom

You must include a driver CD Rom courable on the startup disk.

You cannot boot from a USB CD directly, try this.

Or contact you a Toshiba Service partner, they have the PCMCIA reader. But you will pay for it!

  • Re-installation of any operating system on the computer satellite phone

    Forgive me, but I'm trying to re install Vista or Xp being entered against some issues:

    Windows XP Home edition disk cannot detect a HARD drive.
    It may be stupid but does anyone have a walk through, I want to just wipe my laptop and re-install an operating system

    Help!

    Thank you very much

    I don't know what model of laptop satellite you have exactly, but if you use the original Toshiba Recovery CD you will be able to install the OS without any problem. If you have the new laptop model and you want to install Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver.

    Without SATA driver installation for Windows XP Home edition will not be able to recognize the HARD drive and you will get a message of lack of HARD drive.

    You got a NEW computer.

    Read this:

    OEM and retail licenses:

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    You are in a very grey re area Activation when you upgrade hardware; as OEM recovery disks are related to the original pub of Hardwaere license OEM Vista.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    To install Windows XP, you must have a driver for the disk controller VMware disc. You can consult this article for download one-

    If that one doesn't work, then, you must submit a request for support and ask management to send you the right driver

  • After installation of the operating system 7, Photoshop CS does not work and is called a power PC program. It is an Intel machine and Photoshop has worked well with OS 10.6.

    After installing OS 7 (from 6 OS) on a machine Intel, Photoshop CS and CS2 will not open. I get the message that the Power PC programs are more supported. Why is this happening? Thank you.

    The message is clear (if you know what Power PC means, in other words). All G5 and many ancient used Mac made by Motorola and IBM called PowerPC processors. More recent that all Mac G5s use Intel processors.

    You talk to any OS, Mac, Windows, Linux, etc, the application that you are using must be written and compiled for the CPU and operating system, or it won't work.

    Your copy of Photoshop were written for older Mac using PowerPC applications and does not not on any Mac running Lion 10.7.x or later version. They ran under Snow Leopard 10.6.x because it was the last version of Mac OS X to include Rosetta, which is an emulator PowerPC that allowed these older apps to function, even though the Mac has an Intel processor.

    Your have several options.

    (1) buy a new version of Photoshop that runs natively under Leo.

    2) back to Snow Leopard.

    (3) purchase Server Snow Leopard from Apple ($20) and that run in a virtual machine as the free VirtualBox, VMware or Parallels. You can then run your PPC software in the virtual machine. It means that you were running an OS within an operating system and need a good amount of RAM installed to support the two well enough for your Mac is not slow to a crawl.

    Hello

    Generally, Toshiba does not support any operating system s that are not shipped with Toshiba laptops
    BUT there may be a small light at the end of the tunnel.
    As far as I know Longhorn is a new Microsoft OS Server which is not official on the market. (can I ask how you got this oS ;))
    The Longhorn supports parts of the Vista or free spoken is Vista with additional features.

    However, I think you should check out the Vista drivers available for Satellite A100 and Equium A100 series and possibly unique pilots will run

  • Re-installation of the operating system

    Hello

    Recently I bought the Dell inspiron 15 (i5, 1 TB HD, 4 GB RAM) with windows 8. I want to make the partitions on the hard drive and reinstall the operating system (windows 8). How can I reinstall the new OS. Please suggest.

    Hi Malik.

    If your system is running absolutely fine without any problems, you need not to reinstall Windows to create partitions. You can create partitions in a program called disk management in Windows itself. How to create partitions by using disk management in Windows 8, click here

  • The Portege 2000 via PXE - LAN operating system reinstallation

    Hello again,

    So as said before I'm trying to reinstall Win XP from the recovery provided CD.
    In fact, I have 4 CD: one that contains only Windows 2000 Pro and 3 CD containing Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro. Of course, the 4 CDs were shipped with the computer.

    I tried via the floppy and CD-ROM drive that does not work (see previous section), but I also tried via PXE - LAN.
    So I installed a trial version of Windows Server 2003 in 3 months on my desktop and ran the RIS (Remote Installation Service).

    1. He accepted the CD Windows 2000 Professional as a CD of Windows Setup, but when you launch the Portege 2000, after some time, when he looks for the configuration of the computer, I get an error message that the driver for the network card is missing and it may not all go further.

    2. when I run the installation remotely with CD 1 of 3, it does not even recognize as a Windows CD of Installation!

    So, I managed to install a Win XP Family Edition that I run normally on my desktop, but I don't have any driver installed (WIFI, infrared, sound card, etc.) but also, I have only 1 license for the home edition.

    Someone at - it an idea on how to proceed with this method (I mean with the 3 CDs)?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    > Has anyone at - it an idea on how to proceed with this method - I mean with the 3 CD
    Do you mean the Toshiba recovery CD?

    I never tried to recover the image of Toshiba via RIS, but in my opinion that RIS does not recognize the 3 as a Windows CD of Installation CD1 because the recovery CD Toshiba image isn't really a Windows CD of Installation!

    The restore CD contains only the image files. To my knowledge these are ghost files
