• Portege Z930 - upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

  I bought the upgrade to 7 to 8 during this promotional offer in early 2013, but so far I was expecting a better time perform the upgrade. I'm doing the upgrade having prepared a USB pen with the ISO, I downloaded in 2013.

  However, after 20 minutes of work, about 99% it is said that the upgrade has failed.

  I read somewhere that it is perhaps because of the recovery of my Portege partition.

  Someone have faced similar problems?
  Please consider that I am performing an upgrade instead of a clean install.

  Thank you

  da

  PS and probably OT: anyone know if it is possible to obtain ISO 8.1 with the 8 with an activation code?

  As I'm not mistaken the Portege Z930 was sold with a preinstalled Windows 7 but Windows 8 extra DVDs should be part of the package.

  You do not have this DVD in Windows 8 support?

  In any case, I found a useful page that provides different information you how to put the system to Windows 8.

• Portege M750 - how to upgrade to Windows 7 without preinsatlled Vista?

  I have a laptop Portege M750 who had professional Vista on this subject.
  I removed vista and installed the RC of windows 7

  Now I have received the final windows 7 vista upgrade but can not install via Win7rc or independent to have vista first.
  I don't have a cd of vista for the laptop as it came only with the CD of windows xp for some reason any.

  The recovery partition has been deleted when installing win7 rc
  I'm downloading a torrent of vista that should work, but is a few hours

  I was wondering if there is another option for the upgrade of windows 7 to install

  Hello

  You cannot switch to Win 7 without Vista operating system preinstalled.
  In this case, you can do ONLY a clean installation of Windows 7.
  But for this, need you a Win 7 DVD and not an upgrade disk.

  I think that the laptop has been pre-installed with Vista and there is a possibility to create a Vista recovery disk.
  (but in addition you get a Win XP disk in order to have two operating systems).
  Looks like you do not have create this Toshiba Vista recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator (must be preinsatlled on the laptop), which means that you will not be able to reinstall Vista new

  I think that there is nothing to do but to buy a Windows 7 disc and do a clean install.

• Portege M700 rotation problems after the upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit

  I've upgraded to windows 7 yesterday evening on my portege m700. It is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I installed all the drivers in 64-bit on Toshiba page and the Windows section. Everything works perfectly except the screen does not properly rotate when in tablet mode. I can press ctrl + alt + arrow keys to rotate, and I can also use the windows Mobility Center to rotate 90 degrees at a time. I wonder what I have to do turn once engaged in tablet mode, as it did in Vista. I have the Toshiba rotation utility installed, but it doesn't seem to be something. It seems that it does not receive a signal from the screen that it was shot.

  I need it for school, so any help is GREATLY appreciated.

  Hello

  I think that there are not all 64boit drivers for Win 7 published and released for M700 and you will need to also install drivers for Vista 64-bit!

  For example:
  * Tablet PC Extension v 1.0.0.1 for Vista 64 bit Package *.
  This package installs a range of important public services.

  Utility _TOSHIBA of rotation: _ define the orientation of the screen by default as the system to be used in the transition from the PC to Tablet mode, or vice versa.

  _TOSHIBA tablet PC buttons driver: _ you can dedicate tablet buttons to perform common tasks so that you can easily use your tablet PC away from your workstation. For example, you can dedicate a button to open a program or to change the orientation of your screen.

  _TOSHIBA accelerometer utilities: _ these utilities are a set of material utilities that work with the integrated motion sensors you machine. With the accelerometer, your machine will be able to detect how you're holding it at one point. You can set the machine to perform a specific function when the device is tilted quickly left or right, either at the front or back. You can also take control of the cursor in some applications and move by leaning the PC in a certain direction.

• Portege 7220 and windows 98. Black screen installation

  Hello

  I am facing this problem when I try to install win98 on the machine above Portege 7220 (/ PIII650/64/12/13 t/M), following on its docking station...

  I boot from a floppy disk and cd rom (e:\) access in order to run the installer of windows 98SE. Once I typed e:\setup.exe I get a black screen and the computer crashes. However I can install windows NT or 2000 on this machine, and also the windows 98SE cd works ok on other computers, i.e. no black screen!

  No idea what is the problem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Bar

  Hi Bar

  Please do not be angry on me, but I have to ask you something. Did you use Win98SE full version or simply update CD for Win98?

  It may be that your CD is scratched! Then please try another new CD or another OS as W2k!

• Portege M750 - Tablet does not work after upgrade to Windows 7

  Got an upgrade of Windows 7 through Toshiba for my M750 tablet pc. Everything is smooth and seems to work, except the (!) the Tablet functions. The pen is not recognized. Touch a little, but unpredictably.

  Please let know us what I can do.

  Thank you

  Hello

  All devices are properly recognized in Device Manager? Did you check that?

  As far as I know, you need to install or update the driver Dual Touch. This dirver is for screen digitizer and touchscreen model. It enables the feature that the Tablet PC pen or a finger can be used as a pointing device.
  You can download this driver on the Toshiba site.

  Check it!

• Portege 7220 does not recognize the Extension of memory (Kingston)

  Hello

  Recently, I wanted to update my old notebook, Portege 7220 with a 256 MB Stick of Kingston Ram. According to their website, it should work, but the machine does not recognize the memory at all. (just using internal 64 MB).

  I can't upgrade the Bios either, because when I press F12 when the computer starts, it cannot read the floppy drive in the docking station. Do I need a USB floppy drive for that? I tried with a usb key, but it does not work. is there a possibility to redo an update of windows? (Comp running Windows 2000)

  Thanks for your help, much apprechiated.

I tried with a USB but that doesn't work. Isn't there a possibility to do a windows update? (Comp running Windows 2000)

  Only the TRAD of the BIOS version exists for this Portege.
  This means that you will not be able to update the Windows operating system running, but you will need an external floppy drive to perform these updates.

  Regarding your problem of memory;
  Check this box:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5388&ft=m&St=3

  You can find the compatible memory module. It s a PC100 144 pin SODIMM.

  Maybe you used the not-entirely-compatible module or the module is defective

• Portege 7220 - replacement hard drive problem

  I have a Portege 7220 CTe Windows 98se. The hard drive is deteriorating slowly (bad sectors), so I decided to replace it. The old drive is a Toshiba 6 GB. The news is an IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 10 GB - so-called and apparently unused but dated from 01 Sept.

  Summary: the drive has worked once in the Portege, but doesn't work anymore. It continues to operate through a USB interface to another system.

  I did the following. (I don't know that there are a lot of unimportant details, I just can't tell who might be relevant):

  -Checked the new drive with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. Ran on the Portege, booting from CD in the docking station. The perfect extract player.
  -Make a backup image the old drive on another computer (XP desktop computer) using a USB box and the reflection of Macrium.
  -Restored the image to the new drive (using the same USB box).
  -In Ran XP Scandisk and defragmentation on the restored drive (no problem, does significant defrag)
  -Cleanly removed from the XP system USB and road of the housing
  -Put the new, restored in car in the Portege and turned on.

  The system could not start, (indirectly) saying that HIMEM. SYS was missing. I plugged the drive into the XP system. Indeed \WINDOWS\HIMEM. SYS was missing, along with the rest of the content of \WINDOWS. The rest of the matching content to the backup. ???????

  I copied \WINDOWS to the backup image to the new drive. Neatly removed from the XP system and put in the Portege.

  Starting from Win98 system. I tried to start a random application and become system that is not responding.

  From this point, I may have not all the actions in the order, but I doubt that counts. I tried the following:

  -Hitachi Drive Fitness Test running. He first found the drive but returned an error 'drive not ready '. After repeated attempts to re-seat assigned, check on the XP system, etc it is unable to find the drive to all the
  -Go into the BIOS at startup. Sometimes found the drive, sometimes not.
  -Office XP still recognizes the player very well via the USB interface. ScanDisk is happy with it, including the surface scan. Hitachi utility only works with ATA or SCSI disks, and I do not have an ATA desktop-laptop adapter.
  -Made a new restoration of the saved image. It worked well, but the Portege wouldn't even find the drive.
  -Tried the old drive and a travelstar 6 GB to another system in the Portege. Both work very well.
  -Tried the new disk in a Portege 7020. Do not just like in the 7220.

  I thought maybe it was a power issue. But the two Travelstars (one that works and a new one that doesn't) are valued at 500 my. The old disk from Toshiba which also always works is estimated at 700mA.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Apparently, there's something wrong with your 10 GB travelstar, maybe the MBR or the boot sector

  the fact that you can read with a USB connector doesn't mean that the HD is correct, since you do not need the boot sector of this way

  I would advice to wipe it completely (with cleandisk or boot-TI-NG), make a new partition with fdisk and reformat the HD in fat32 format

  That to do a fresh install with W98, or better: W2000, which spans a 7220 easily and is much better

  It is best to copy the directory to install W2000, integer i386 installation CD - on the 10 GB HD (which can be done on another PC with a USB connection) and begin the installation of BACK with Windows NT. EXE

• Portege 7220 screen resolution problem

  I recently bought a laptop portege 7220 and windows me was installed until I can get more ram added for win xp. The problem I have is that the screen resolution is set at 16 bit color and it is stuck in resolution 800 x 600. I can't go to 1024 x 768 pixels. So instead of having a display full screen, everything is displayed in a small box on the screen. I have tried to install the drivers from the toshiba site and even have local pc tech shop trying to fix it, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can sort this problem because it's a great laptop and I want just full screen to work. Thanks for reading and any advice/info on the left.

  Hi, this must be a driver issue; your 7220 native resolution is 1024 x 768, that's why 800 x 600 is displayed in a window

  I suggest that you switch to Windows 2000, it works perfectly on a 7220 and has the lower memory requirements than XP
  In W2k there is most appropriate drivers available and with the drivers from the toshiba site, your problem should be solved

  BTW: Make sure that your BIOS settings are good (especially the "extended-mode display"), you should consider updating your BIOS to the latest version

• Windows Vista SP1 laptop computer upgraded to Windows 8.1 / 10 Windows

  Hello!

  A long time ago (7 years probably) supplied with Windows Vista Home Basic x 86, we bought a laptop Toshiba Portege M800. I plan to upgrade to Windows 8/8.1/10, but I don't know if it will work. Here are my specs.

  

  

  Hello

  We cannot tell you that you can definitely improve 8.1 or 10.

  We provide only the information on the system requirements. Then, it is yours for a search.

  And they're both done with a clean installation (no upgrade path) and they are not free.

  Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.

  Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8 drivers available for your model.

  If this is not available, Windows 8/8.1 not install and work properly for you.

  There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

  Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here

• Special keyboard keys Bootcamp-lost after upgrade to Windows 10

  I have an iMac of 2014 that was running Windows 7 with Bootcamp.

  I have upgraded to Windows 10 (using the upgrade option if windows) and everything was fine.

  After a power cut I can no longer start Windows 10 so I repaired the installation.  W10 is working now, BUT the special keys on the apple keyboard (brightness, volume, etc.) no longer work.

  I tried to re - download the software and drivers support for Win10 through Bootcamp Assistant, but he asks me if I want to delete the installation of Windows 7 (SEVEN Yes).

  Any ideas would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Download the driver appropriate for your model package specific to install Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple support on a USB2 flash drive and run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder when it is started in Windows.
