Portege 4000 - Win 98SE want to update

I have a Portege 4000 and I'm looking to switch from Windows 98SE. The obvious alternatives are W2000, XP or Ubuntu Linux.

If I can find a full version of Windows XP Home edition, I'd be able to make a clean (rather than upgrade) installation and get drivers?
Officially, the laptop is only compatible with 98SE or 2000, but these systems are old now.

I imagine that if I update XP 98SE on it will keep all the drivers, but this is not my preferred method of installation and installs own are better.

Win98 uses Win95 Basic code, which is not compatible with NT/2000/XP. If the Win98 drivers do not work.

You must back up your documents, format C: then install fresh XP.

You can use the drivers Windows 2000 XP - sound basically the same operating system internally.
If for any reason any the Win2000 drivers do not work, you can use XP drivers from other models of same era.

    Virtual private networks have little to do with the domains or working groups.

    I don't think that WIndows 98 can join to a domain.  All versions of WIndows, you mention should be able to participate in a working group, however.

    In my opinion, the best way to share a printer is to use a printer connected to the network

  • Portege 4000 - I would like to upgrade memory: 256 MB to 512 MB

    Hello

    I have a Portege 4000 and want to upgrade the memory: 256 MB to 512 MB.
    It has 98SE and the user always wants to keep this system.

    Does anyone know if there is a known issue with the upgrade to 512 MB I saw a thread in 2005, by someone who had a problem?

    I suppose that the memory SODIMM PC133. I ordered a 512 MB of RAM to aememory last year, but the system would have not even begun. Maybe they had sent me the wrong chip?

    Thank you

    Tim

    Hmm. perhaps that the RAM modules are not 100% compatible
    To my knowledge, it should be possible to upgrade the RAM up. 1 GB (2 x 512 MB)
    You could also upgrade to 512 MB by using one or two 256 MB modules.

    You must use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules and I found these modules that are compatible:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)

    Also on this page:

    Hello
    I bought a Satellite 5200 903.

    And in my business I have special software for my machines and this software only works with windows 98/98SE.
    So I tried to install the system.

    But when I place my system cd to my laptop, appears first the Installer menu, I am agree pressing on enter, and a black screen appears and stuck.

    I don't know what to do, I've tried everything
    Make new partitions using fdisk (they are FAT32)
    Clean all formatted left etc.
    Nothing helpes.

    I have too many proposals: laptop do not support windows, due to hardware or BIOS does not work with win 98.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    If you want to use the software on XP I only compatible with Win 98SE, you can enable compatibility mode.

  • Portege 4000 - upgrade RAM & graphic card driver installation

    I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

    -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

    -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

    -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

    -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

    Thanks much for any help.

    The protégé 4000 is compatible with the PC133 modules! AFAIK, you can upgrade RAM of this notebook 1 GB (1024 MB) and you can use these modules;
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

    You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
    After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

  • Portege 4000 - how to install the display driver for XP?

    Hi-

    I did a clean install of XP Portege 4000. The system has been previously default 98SE.

    Noticed that there is a yellow exclamation point in other devices about the video controller (VGA compatible). I downloaded the display on the Toshiba site driver (if it is the right thing?), but can't seem to install. There is no setup.exe to help me.

    My XP screen covers only 3/4 or more of the screen total, so that something is wrong somewhere...

    Hello

    No, Toshiba don't support Linux or Ubuntu on the Portege 4000 and you can t find drivers for it on the Toshiba page. Only Windows drivers are available.

    I m not an expert in Linux, but as far as I know you don t need additional graphic driver for Ubuntu. You should only change the resolution of the screen or something in the settings of the screen. I had the same problem on the first time I used Linux and I could solve it without additional driver but I put t know how I did it :(

    My Portege 4000 shuts down suddenly after 20 minutes, sometimes it takes our during 30-40 minutes.
    He then walks back for a few hours.

    Here's what I've tried, and it still happens:

    Hello!

    You use DHCP or a static IP address?
    If you use DHCP, you must turn on your laptop or set a static IP address.

    You have yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?
    Maybe the driver needs to be updated.

    If you are using a firewall, disable it. Perhaps, it blocks the internet connection.

    You can create a USB bootable for a downloadable iso file from Microsoft Setup disk. However, you will probably be satisfied with performance of slow your system on Win7 or Win10.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: update BIOS - my version of the OS is not listed in the BIOS version, I want to update

    Hello

    I need quick information. I want to update my BIOS. The current version is F.00 - 03/07/2013 and I want to update the F.27 Rev.A - version 25/07/2016. However, Win 10 (which is the operating system I use) is not listed as an operating system supported for this BIOS (latest version for Win Win 8.1 support 64 bit). I would like to know if I can still download and use the version of the 25/07/2016 F.27 Rev.A BIOS even if the latest OS is win 8.1 64 bit, while I use Win 10 64 bit?

    Thank you.

    Dear customer,

    Updated the BIOS for the Chipset and is not serious if the unit has WIN 8 or 10 to WIN.

    As it says BIOS-Basic Input Output System

    The BIOS is a chip on the motherboard.

    We recommend you update the device with the latest available BIOS VER for chipset perform better.
