  If I remember well, you can install WXP again using two different methods:
  -Restoration of created media recovery do you have created following the advice in the manuals?
  -Restoration of the drive HARD recovery on page 69 you can find detailed instructions how to proceed.

• Portege M300-101: can I run Vista on it?

  I would like to know if there will be difficulties to pass the Portege M300-101 to Vista? Cordially e. - Oslo

  Hello

  Portege M300 is fairly new unit and I believe, that there should be any problem. Please note that Toshiba doesn't support Vista at this time and if you need some drivers you must search for them alone.

  It is the same with the tools and utilities. They are designed for Windows XP Home edition and I really put t know if they work under Vista.

  I will also test Vista on my Satellite Pro M70 soon and see how it works.

  Bye and good luck!

• How to change the keyboard on Portege M300-101?

  Hello

  I have a Portege M300-101, and I would like to know if there are instructions online for how to change the keyboard itself. Our unit comes with, I think, a Belgian keyboard installed... and a U.S. keyboard in the box. Are there instructions available for how to move on the keyboards? Also, I guess it's a good idea to switch the keyboard before turning on the laptop for the first time. Do you agree?

  Best,
  Dainis W. Michel

  Hello Danis

  Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. You can try to do it alone, but please don t forget that on this guarantee valid path will be cancelled. Basically, the replacement of keyboard is not well complicated and technicians may need 15 minutes to do.

  In my opinion, you can take a risk and pay for replacement before losing the valid guarantee. The Portege is very expensive and of damage to property, it is very risky to be unsecured.

  If you still think that you do not write anything again.

• The battery life on Portege M300

  Hello

  Wonder how long your batterys is last on your Portege M300? Mine lasts about 4-4, 5 h using a 'normal '.

  What is the difference in the life of the battery between Salvation and the standard battery battery capacity?

  Hello

  Simple answer: Hi The capacity batteries run longer. But you should only use original Toshiba batteries which are developed and designed for this device. Other batteries may damage the unit!

  There are several steps to follow to ensure that you get maximum performance of the battery:
  Batteries come in a discharged condition and must be charged before use. It is recommended that you charge and discharge the battery again two to four times to allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.
  Keep the battery healthy by fully charge and then fully it unloads at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
  To get the maximum performance of the battery, optimize mobile power management features before using

  I found this useful site with lot of information about batteries:

  Hello. I really want to create a disc of recovery for my Portege M300 and know I have to do it via Toshiba Assist but really need a step by step idiots guide to know exactly what to do. I tried to put a CD to write but it rejects it-if I have to use floppy disks he will not take the charges or have I missed something.

  Oh dear - you get the idea that I am a complete numpty and need a guide very clear step by step as to exactly what I need to do. I have had problems in the past and had need of these disks and so hated to do anything on this laptop until I have the appropriate recovery disks.

  Thank you in advance.
  Rachel

  Go with Toshiba and select the Protect & Fix tab.
  You will find the option recovery disk creator

  So if you want to recovery and tools & utility CD you must mark.
  (When you use the CD it of necessary to use the CD with storage capacity of 80 min 700MB)

  After selecting the recovery CD or DVD and product, you simply have to burn the media.

• Portege M300 - Ubuntu, bootmgr error

  Hi guys,.

  I hope you can help, I spent 2 days reading similar posts, but nothing seems to work.

  I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive (using my Vista machine). Can I boot Ubuntu from my Vista machine without any problem.

  However, I now want to use this hard drive Ubuntu in my new NetBook (for me). (Toshiba, Portege, M300). However when I install my Ubuntu HD in this machine I get the infamous error "bootmgr is missing". I REALLY hate this error now.

  So I did my research and give EACH of them thinking that I should use my Vista recovery DVDs for this problem. Why the hell do I need to use a Vista CD when it comes to pure Ubuntu installation?

  Can someone give me some ideas? Computers laptop Toshiba require Bootmgr (i.e. an installation of windows?)

  Please PLEASE help,
  Marc

  PS thanks in advance...

  You don't need a special boot manager, Linux should start very well after a successful installation.

  Did you delete all partitions on the HARD disk before you install Linux?

  It seems that the Windows boot sector is still installed.

  It is very easy, you can install it in the Device Manager.

  First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
  You can find the Portege M300 on the Toshiba drivers European page driver-> * Archives *.

  After the LAN driver has been downloaded, you must unzip this package.
  Then go to Device Manager, select the unknown device (NIC) in the network adapters, select install or update the driver and follow the instructions on the screen.

• Portege M300 - do not have the Internet with IE 8

  I have a Toshiba Portege M300 that worked fine until I updated to Explorer 8. After the update, I can't open the web pages, but the antivirus program continues to download the updates, so there seems to be a link. I have uninnstalled Explorer 8, but still can not put online. My guess is that he could have flown somewhere that needs to be updated, but that's only a guess.

  Can anyone help plese?

  Hey Buddy,

  What happens if you try to connect by using the old version of Internet Explorer? It work?

  In addition, I recommend the use of Firefox. In my opinion it of the best Internet browser because it s much faster and you can get many Add-ons for it.
  Check it!

  Hello

  When did you reinstall the OS?

  Eventually he s question as a BONE I mean it possible s that your OS is confused upward and therefore some functions don't work properly

  On the other hand a hardware problem (HARD drive, memory) would be also possible.
  But first if would be interesting to know if the laptop would serve after recovering.

I want a cd backup/recovery cd now and I see that they compartmentalized (or what his name) a separate 2, 5 GB hd with the name "HDDRECOVERY".

I toughed I somehow could access this file of 5 GB HD 2, but it dosen´t show in 'my conputer' in the windows disk management tools not. You can't do anything in this manegmant tool so that it can show in "my computer".

  Hello Andrew

  The situation with the Portege M300 is a bit complicated, but I'll try to explain. Portege M300 (I believe only in Germany) is delivered without Recovery DVD and also Tools & Utilities CD. The two of them can be created by the user, but only if the appliance is preinstalled at the factory. The unit of the factory preinstalled with original image contains a tool called Recovery Disc Creator. With this tool, you can create the two media. There is no way to do it without this tool.

  Unfortunately this tool you can not find on the Toshiba download page. Because of this, you can keep that partition on the HARD drive but it has no sense at all. You have your own OS preinstalled without Recovery Disc Creator.

  There are two solutions:
  1. you can format entire HARD drive, create clean partitions and install own OS using all things, that you can find on the Toshiba download page.
  2 contact authorized please partner in your country. They may try to order the original DVD of recovery for you. If this recovery DVDs is not available the service partner can make factory settings again but with costs.

  That s all I know Portege M300 and preinstalled software. If you have any other questions, please write again.

  Good luck!

• Portege M300 - update Bios without battery

  Hello

  Currently, I am trying to fix a problem that I have with my laptop (Portege M300) of the battery.
  I have been informed that the bios update should solve this problem, but when I try to update I get error "the AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not sufficient.

  Now, the power adapter is connected and works well, but the battery is on 4% of costs...
  This is the exact reason, I'm updating the bios!

  Does anyone know how I'm supposed to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Chris H

  Hello

  I m not very good if the update of the BIOS might help you what it s a battery problem
  Have you noticed this problem on the first day of purchase?
  I mean if this issue was not present the same using BIOS in the past, then it wouldn't be a matter of BIOS but material, possibly a battery

  I think that the battery needs to be checked.

• Portege M300 - replacement of HARD drive failed

  Dear all,

  I have a Portege M300 I bought around 3 or 4 years and I am very happy with and without any problems. The laptop came originally with a 60GB and I wanted to upgrade to one with greater capacity, a 160 GB! My laptop is about 1.2 GB of Ram and runs on windows XP SP3.

  I recently bought a Samsung HD-160 (160GB) which should be compatible with my laptop. After installing from scratch and used for about 2 weeks, the computer suddenly stopped. HARD drive stopped spinning and a #0 ERROR came when I tried to restart. There was NO WAY to drive HARD turn again so I contacted Samsung and they replace. The HARD drive has a slight smell of burnt component but very light.
  I replaced the HDD failed with a 2nd replacement and to my disbelief, the SAME THING happened again just after 3 hours of use! I contacted Samsung and once more they will send replace me, with the same type of hard disk. I tried to get explanations of Toshiba and Samsung for why this happens, but so far I have no explanation.
  Without hesitation, I gave my original 60 GB Toshiba drive who was thankfully still my documents and the laptop is happy again touch wood.

  What I am doing wrong? can someone help me please go to the bottom of this so I do not experience the same problem with my 3rd replacement? I wish I had a bigger hard drive on my laptop and I think all of them must be compatible. I buy one that should be compatible with my Portege M300. Both are valued at 5 v

  I have to add to what has just occurred to me now that I have installed all the Toshiba original programs too on my Samsung HDD out of Windows XP, including the utility that protects the disk in case of Vibrations. This could be the problem by any chance? This utility only for Toshiba's brand HARD drive? Any ideas or other suggestions on this issue please?

  Thank you very much for your attention.

  Carmine

  Portege M300 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should be careful with these upgrades.
  According to specification for laptop, your laptop can handle with 100 GB hard drives, but I'm sure you can use 120 GB as well.

  Then maybe you should try to upgrade the disk with 120 GB of HARD drive to see if everything will be OK. I think also 120 GB is enough and you have enough free space for the data backup.
  What do you think about this?

• Portege R600-101 connects to the WLan but not to the Draft N

  Hi friends...

  I have a Portege R600-101 which is capable of 802.11b/g/n.
  I have now, I tried 2 routers (belkin and Netgear DG834N) to get connected to the speed n machine but no joy... any help greatly appreciated...

  See you soon
  Warren

  Hello!

  Can you connect to the router with the b/g project?

  Maybe the router or laptop computers is not set to the project in order to check the settings in the router and wireless network card.
  In addition, you must disable security as hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so distant features.

  Good bye
