• 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 operating temperature?

  Hello

  My Portege 3500 crashes regularly (the monitor continues to show what was the last one on the screen, but no entry is accepted, not even ctrl-alt-del) I have to hold in the power button until the laptop turns off to restart. I think that this could be due to overheating and try to check it out using speedfan to monitor temperatures.

  Does anyone know what temperature ranges are acceptable for the 3 temperature gauges that speedfan reports (Temp Local, remote Temp and Temp1)?

  Thank you
  -Jason.

  It's not easy to say what temperature is acceptable. On my laptop, I recorded about 60 ° C and everything run ok.
  I assume you are using unit for a long time as well as the fans have not been cleaned.
  You can try to do. But be careful. If you have no experience, you shouldn't have t do.
  Additional you should always be sure that there is enough free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.

  PS: you may install the Everest application. This tool provides a lot of information on the entire system.
  After cleaning, you can compare the temporary values

• 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: 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!

• Portege 2000 - new installation using the PCMCIA CD-ROM XP

  I try to install XP on Portege 2000 using the official PCMCIA Toshiba CD-ROM drive.

  Install the XP disk boots fine, but after that Setup copied the files it blue screen (BSOD blue). I'm not very tech savvy, but I think it means that the BIOS can 'see' the PCMCIA CD-ROM, but that the real image of XP loaded by the installation program cannot, probably due to missing drivers for the PCMCIA CD-ROM?

  Then, I thought that maybe I could use F6 to load additional drivers during the initial installation, but it is beyond me to create the right set of files required. I know that you can download the Freecom drivers, but I don't know what are the driver files from CD to use and how to create from scratch the txtsetup.oem file right.

  Does anyone know how to properly use F6 and load the drivers for it?

  I found a lot of messages suggesting I copy the installer to the HARD disk and launch the installation from there. My problem is that the XP installation is an upgrade CD, so I will ask you at a certain time to insert a previous Windows CD and if at that time there I don't have a working CD-ROM drive...

  First post on this forum so be nice - I did a search but not find a thread with a real solution, but of course if I miss a please report!

  Hello

  I managed to install Windows XP Home the Portege 2000 using the PCMCIA reader but I ve used recovery disks original Toshiba which includes the correct driver for external optical drive.

  So far I tried not to install Windows XP Home edition, using the Microsoft installation disc.

  Maybe you should get the disks of facilities and not use this upgrade disk. I think that on this path, you will be able to install WXP as suggested when you copy data from facilities at the disk directly.
  Have you tried to get the original recovery disc Toshiba WXP?

• Installation of WXP on Portege 3500

  It is a question of a person can suffer idiots like me!
  A friend gave me a Portege 3500 without a HARD drive.
  I have one but have no manual. Looked on the Toshiba site but does not tell me how to access BIOS which is obviously a problem.

  3500 has no floppy or the HARD disk drive if the 3500 will recognize the external USB drive with disk to install XP in it? (if I can change the boot sequence?
  Do I need to burn discs of startuop XP and buy a floppy drive?
  I would be grateful if someone who can take me through the steps to get this up and running. I have a PC to burn aging if necessary.

  Thank you very much,.

  Hello

  The fact is that not all external CD/DVD drives are supported for the start.
  You need an individual. As far as I know the compatible is a PX1055E-1NST.
  But this device only comes with a 32-bit cardbus card. This card will be recognized only in the Windows operating system.
  You need a 16-bit cardbus card. The Bios can recognize this card and you can boot from the external drive.

  Note: The pc card controller option must be set to automatic selection or CCIP compatible.

• 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.

  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.
