  What IDE controller has been integrated?
  You could install a tool of diagnosis of equipment as Everest home edition and could check your hardware specifications.

  But I guess the protégé M100 supports South Bridge Intel ICH4 - M and the IDE controller must support the Ultra ATA 100/66/33

  However, you must still install these diagnostic tools to ensure a what IDE controller has been installed.

  The fact is that since ATA - 6 (also known as Ultra DMA/100, Ultra DMA 5 or Ultra-ATA100 mode) the 48-bit LBA is supported which allows to use more large 128 GB drives

• Portege M100 runs at 600 MHz after the BIOS/FRIMWARE upgrade

  Hello

  I received a Portege M100, this week, installed Debian GNU/Linux (Sid) on it and almost everything was fine.
  Then I upgraded to the latest BIOS/FIRMWARE (from V1.10 to V1.50) and now my Pentium M 1200 MHz running at half speed.
  I can not load also cpufreq, which controls the speed of the cpu.

  I see this problem is already known, then:
  It will come a new BIOS/FIRMWARE fix for this?

  What do you mean by "I saw that this problem is already knowna? ¦ »
  Where do you find the description for a same problem?

  Usually the BIOS update should not have any influence 'wrong' on the speed of the CPU!

  Have you checked the BIOS option called "dynamic CPU frequency mode".

  This option is also in the Toshiba HWSetup. You can also switch between 'high' and 'always low '.

• Portege M100 just run half the speed - 600 Mhz

  Hello
  I have a Portege M100 that I found very slow until I discovered it was running half speed (IE 600 mhz). I tried everything in the Bios and in Toshiba utility, but nothing to do: always clocked at 600 Mhz.

  Is there something I missed? y at - it 'special' something to do to allow him to run at full speed?

  I thank the of in advance to anyone who helps!

  Hello

  As already suggested that the firmware must be updated! This portable strange behavior happens especially if the technician forgot to update this laptop runs only at 600 MHz.

  In particular, I would like to upgrade the BIOS to v1.50 (1.30).

  Constructive help?
  What else can you get on this forum? ;)

  Hi Dave

  I put t know the order of installation you used and what elements have installed you before, but it turns out that the common modules must be installed first before you start to install the other Toshiba tools and utilities.

  I assume that you try to install Windows XP Home edition, so here's the order of complete plants:

  Driver Chipset
  Display driver
  Audio driver
  Network driver
  Driver Modem
  Network wireless driver
  Atheros Client Utility
  Cisco Aironet Client Utility
  Infrared driver
  Common modules
  Power management
  Button controls
  Console
  Utilities
  ConfigFree
  User manual
  DVD player
  Bluetooth stack
  Utility to change display device
  DVD-RAM driver software
  Mobile extension
  Skins for Windows Media Player
  SD memory card format
  SD Secure Module
  Wireless Hotkey Utility
  Hotkey for display devices
  Sun Java Runtime Environment
  Management Console

  Have you used this order?

• How to increase the video memory shared on Portege M100

  I have a Portege M100 and I would like to increase the shared video memory. In the technical documentation: 16-64MB shared video memory
  I have 768 MB of RAM
  but he can't do it in the Bios or Windows.
  where can I do it?

  (I'm french, sorry for the bad English)

  Hello

  As far as I know this laptop has an Intel graphics card.
  for example on an ATI card graphics it is possible to set manually shared memory, but on an Intel shared memory graphics card will be determined automatically.
  That's why you can't find any options to change this value.

• Question about upgrade CPU on Portege M100

  On my Portege M100.
  Can I switch my Banias 1.2 Ghz chip to a Dothan 2.0 Ghz chip now that BIOS 1.5 supports Dothan?

  Hello

  I agree with robin. Computers mobile processors are usually not extensible for different reasons. One of the serious reasons is the BIOS compatibility and the second reason is the dissipation of heat.
  Faster CPU produces more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.

  To cut this story; upgrading the CPU is not possible

  2 atheros 7.7 recognizes the mini pci card

  3 bezel Digital video says I need additional files

  Hello

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Portege M100 drivers.
  There is also an installation instruction that follows you.

  The common Modules must be installed at the beginning. The BIOS is not possible without the common Modules.

  The Atheros WLan driver doesn t work because your Portege M100 could use another card WLan M100 supports different Wlan cards and, eventually, M100 was equipped with Intel or other card Wlan

• Disk error when you exit the Portege M100 in standby mode

  Hello all :)

  Have a Portege M100 for general use with WXP Pro installed.
  Recently decided to upgrade to a DVD - rom DVD burner, then bought a Sony DW-Q250A burner.
  Installed and it worked, but I continue having problems when the computer wakes from sleep, I get the message "ERROR #1 IDE", while the system reboots without additional probs in windows

  The problem is, once this happens, the DVD player then disappears from the window 'my computer' and is not visible in the "Device Manager", until I remove the disc, back up and then analyze for pop. "p in Device Manager devices, it reappears as nothing has happened."
  I thought it might have been a conflict with the IDE bus (ie the two - disk HARD & DVD - disks configured as master) so I put a rider on the HARD disk to make the slave drive (which looks like to mean a change of firmware on the DVD drive for this) but it just created more probs... Then I got a message "ERROR of IDE #0" extra when I did and the machine would not boot from the HARD drive.

  Any thoughts would be welcome? :|

  Mark

  Hi mate,

  "first of all I would like to explain the IDE #0 error: it s quite understandable given that the HARD drive is the * FIRST * player of all and must stand the * FIRST" by car, which means that you jumper shouldn´t to a slave drive. It must be a master, otherwise, as in your case, the boot of won´t machine.
  in
  So you have 2 IDE channels (primary and secondary IDE channel), and each channel has a master and a slave. Apart from the HARD drive that is located on the main channel, your DVD player is naturally on the secondary channel configured as the master drive.
  Here´s a bit 'image': D to explain it:

  -> Primary channel-> Master = HARD drive
  -> Slave = nothing

  -> Secondary channel-> Master = DVD
  -> Slave = nothing

  Regarding your problem:

  I have no definitive solution for you, but I can give you some advice. First download the latest BIOS for your machine and upgrade to the latest version. Then download the latest drivers and install them. After that, look for an update of the firmware of your player of DVD and last but no less check the database of microsoft for known issues as any of the similar issues are known for me with drives toshiba toshiba machines.

  Would be worthy to try

  :)

• A keyboard for a Portege S100 will work in a Portege M100?

  Quick question - a keyboard for a Portege S100 will work in a Portege M100?

  Page layout looks like. Although a different color.

  Hello

  I think that you can not use the same keyboard as the Portege S100 supports the year-easy-to-use 84 keys (US) or 85-keyboard (UK) and the Portege M100 supports the year-easy-to-use 85/86-keyboard.
  In addition, the S100 connector supports the keyboard interface 34 CN3230 pins and the M100 supports PJ3230 34pin keyboard connector.

  So maybe this could be a problem.
  I recommend using the original keyboards published for each laptop model.

• Portege M100 - video player does not work

  Can anyone help?
  Had to rebuild my beloved Portege M100, after a hard disk failure.
  Everything works well except the video player.

  Tried using Windows Media Player and Intervideo Win DVD, but the two close as soon as the video starts.
  WMP has said that this is a problem with a codec called ivivideo forming Intervideo and Corel as they are now.

  However, their site is less useful and I can't find a way to update.

  Suggestions anyone?

  Hello

  Try VLC Player.
  It s small tool/player which can be downloaded for free.
  It plays most files smoothly.

  In addition, you could install some packages of codec as K-Lite codec pack

  Good luck

• Portege M100 - none of the drivers work

  None of the Vista drivers work for Windows 7, so I switched to XP Professional and always SOME drivers don't work?

  Is there a special way to install after installing Windows?

  see you soon

  Hi ollie,.

  It would be interesting to know what you mean with none of the drivers work. You get an error message or what is exactly happening?

  Regarding the issue of Windows 7 I think that it of normal that Vista drivers do not work for Windows 7 because the Portege M100 is very old notebook, so I doubt that Windows 7 will work on this subject.

  Moreover, the Toshiba site, you will find an installation instructions document. Use this list a driver installation order is recommended.
