Portege 3490CT - please help me to boot from the CD ext
Hello from Maine, USA.
I bought the 3490 ct and a TDK USB CD-ROM drive brand. The 3490CT came with a formatted hard drive. I would start my CD of the OS with the USB CD-ROM and get this computer.
Can it be done? I need to get the Port Replicator and floppy drive?
I tried opneing computer to remove the hard side and put the files manually, but it seems difficult to remove and I don't want to spoil anything (it is surrounded by these tiny wires that are difficult to work with)
Help! How can I get an OS on this thing!
Thank you
Craig
Hello
Your machine does not start from this USB key.
You can only recover your machine using a Toshiba player connected to the Port Replicator port or PCMCIA Toshiba CD player.
Kind regards

Please help: measure is missing from the data store
Hello
I have an a 20 TB drive data store and a magnitude of about 40 TB (local disks, areca raid controller).
Long story short, I had to delete and re-create the volume 40 to on the RAID controller (without initialization, of course).
Now all the data is there but eui has changed for the 40 to volume and vmware is unable to mount.

Hello
You asked for instructions on how to readd a missing measure.
Basically, it's pretty easy:
in the VMFS to VMFS-based volume header section, you can assign extends it.
Lets say that the basic volume is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T3:L0:1
first of all extend is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T4:L0:1
second extension is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T5:L0:1
Then you will see this string in the VMFS header:
vmhba1:3:0
and a little laterMPX.vmhba1:C0:T3:l0:1
MPX.vmhba1:C0:T4:l0:1
MPX.vmhba1:C0:T5:l0:1
Just change the list of stretches.
But: normally you can't change this section at all, and to add to the confusion, these values are stored in RAM is not trivial to change this value correctly.
I highly recommend that instead of try it yourself and repeat all the mistakes I made while learning it - call me.
I rather help you personally to give dangerous advice that will probably make things worse. -

Hello
Sometimes, as you have discovered, installing Windows 7 from a DVD can be a little difficult for various reasons. If you were able to boot from the Windows 7 DVD, then you did what you had to do.
I highly recommend to use a support USB thumbdrive for fast and reliable Windows 7 installation. You will need a USB thumbdrive, which is 4 GB.
You will need to create it with Microsoft on another PC that is running Windows 7 or 8 utiity. Download and run tool Windows 7 USB DVD Download from the Microsoft store.
The download link and instructions is on the web page in the previous link. You will need your Microsoft Windows 7 DVD and license key (during the installation process of Windows 7).

Portege 3480: is it impossible to boot from a key-USB-cd?
I would like to install win 2000 on my portege 3480. However, I have a lot of difficulty getting to boot from external cd readers. I tried with a Cd Player and a LiteOn DVD drive iomega. None of them works. The two drives are connected via the USB port. I read somewhere that we can start using pcmcia on the 3480 cd players - can that really be true?
Hope someone can help out me.
Thank you

Portege R100 boots from the HARD drive - lack of operating system
Hello
I have a Portege R100 which won't the HD boot, I get the message "missing operating system".
I don't have a compatible CD or floppy, I just about 1.8 inches for the hd, it works and I also have norton ghost 2003 is installed in another computer (a toshiba satellite A45).I tried to recover the drive with the help of norton and the image of the Ghost in the recovery CD, but it keep asking for a password.
I would like to know if there is a way to use the restore with norton CD and usb driver and password screen (or where I can get the password?).
Thank you!
What password do you mean?
and what recovery CD do you use? The image on the Toshiba Recovery CD is locked and cannot be extracted.
It turns out that you cannot start or install the OS on the USB key!
You must boot from the CD/DVD compatible player that can be connected to the PC card slot. -

Hi Ted,
You are welcome
Boot into the bios menu and go to the very section where you have disabled the Secure Boot.
Find an entry called materials and this value to Activate.
Save the changes and exit the bios.
Follow the previous procedure below:
Insert the bootable disc of Ophcrack and laptop stop.
Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu. Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

Can not boot from the CD to recover OS - Portege M200
Hello
I'm working on my Portege M200 friends that she bought used. Only, it came with an external USB CDROM drive and the laptop computer AC adapter. To make things better the HD is no longer recognized by the BIOS. I had a spare HD so I installed it and now the BIOS see the new HD, Yay!
I also discovered that I could buy a replacement Toshiba system recovery CD, new Yay! But before I do that I wanted to make sure I could boot from the external CDROM drive. I plugged the CDROM drive and attempted to start on a spare windows xp CD. But it does not start on the CD. I made sure that the CD-rom drive has been first in the BIOS boot priority, but that doesn't seem to work.
I read the other posts that mention the boot directly from the external CD-rom USB drive does not work and I have to boot to the CD-rom drive by plugging the CD-rom drive in a PCMCIA card. If I have to buy a PCMCIA card that has USB ports for connecting external USB CDROM drive in for I can boot from a CD?
If there will be any brand/type of work? If this is not the case, what brand/type is known to work.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated!BIOS of the portege recognise only a limited number of pcmcia-CD-disks
in this thread you will find all the information you need:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=71179𑘋but your portege also boots most of the readers of usb_FDD; If you make a BACK-boot disk with the appropriate drivers for your CD-ROM usb drive you can use it without restrictions bios
as you can read that this method will work only in a DOS environment, that is why it is absolutely necessary to format your hard drive to fat32, otherwise it will not be recognized

Portege R100 - boot from the external HARD drive
I have a Portege R100 and the HARD drive has failed. I installed a new HARD drive and I have the Toshiba recovery disks. I tried to boot from a generic USB CD-ROM but the laptop did not recognize.
I have a disk of Toshiba USB drive it does not recognize and I have a restore disc but I don't know how from there. Do I have to buy a CD external Toshiba and if so, which?
Any useful suggestions?Hello
Boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive is not possible.
You will also be able to boot from USB HDD!If you want to boot from the CD, you must use a compatible PCMCIA cards (16-bit and 32-bit Cardbus) CD/DVD drive.

Vista 64 does not start after the bios screen. Can not boot from the recovery cd or help
Last night a MS pushed a windows update and my pc restarted automatically. But it does not actually restart.
The PC goes through the bios tests, passes and then crashes and does not start in Vista.
I can't start at all, including safe mode.
I can't the system recovery option in HP bios to load. Can I only use my Vista64 system recovery bootable cd or actually start.
First of all, I thought it was a HARD drive problem, but tests of the bios disk hard that all spend, even the 2 hours 'SMART' test that he was running.
Help
Hello
What happens when you try to boot from the recovery CD? You receive messages or error codes?
You can check if the boot in the BIOS settings priority is configured to boot to CD\DVD.
NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
For more information, you can consult the following article:
BIOS: Frequently asked questions
If you still experience the problem, you may need to contact HP for assistance.

where is the problem?Hello
As far as I know it of not possible to boot from the USB key.
Only you can boot from the drive from the external USB floppy drive or CD/DVD compatible external USB.
I found in the user manual that the DVD-ROM (PA3246) drive is available as an external drive option and you can buy the car from the dealer of Toshiba.
