• On Portege M400 Vista recovery disc creation

  I upgraded a M400 that came with XP to Vista Business. The Toshiba Recovery disk utility delivers a message 'no partition found HARD disk'. The management console displays a recovery partition - but there probably still recovery XP info.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to transfer in a Vista recovery image in this partition? Is this available at Toshiba somewhere in the world? I can get my tech support people to hunt it if we know that there are...
  See you soon

  Hello

  Maybe you should correctly format the drive and delete all partitions with an external program (like UBCD-> "Ultimate Boot CD") and then try again.

  It may be that the XP recovery partition blocks the new recovery/installation process.

  If I were you, I would try this format-thingy.

  If not, take another HARD disk and try with that. ;)

  See you soon

• Portege M400 lost recovery CD

  I have misplaced my CD of restoration for Portege Tablet PC. If I understand correctly, the PC is loaded with Windows XP Tablet PC edition.

  I only have a XP Pro SP2 CD, it'll work if I download and install all other tools and utilities for this model on the site?

  I heard that the local guys extra for giving the CD, is not available from a link to download?

  Pls advise!

  > they should create a file of commands of all the utilities and drivers and allow for it download
  You will find nto find a batch file, but you will find a single Toshiba drivers and tools for XP edition on the European driver Toshiba tablet page. You'll find everything you want. Also ;) installation instructions

  > Is it impossible to use any other marking device (the one used with normal Imate, Nokia etc) to work with my screen of the Tablet?

  Well, you need the pen to touch. So I guess that other devices might work also.
  But I advise to use the pen in Portege s. He supports a special trick to not scratch the screen.

• Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

  Hello

  I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

  I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

  I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

  Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)

  Hello

  Eventually the partitions that appear on the HARD disk is corrupted.
  I couldn't install the OS on my laptop because the partitions have been confues up, I don t know why, but I couldn't format the HARD drive using the recovery disk.

  Finally, I took the Windows XP disc and formatted the whole HARD drive and deleted all partitions on the HARD drive. Then I installed Windows XP by using the Microsoft disk.
  After that, I made the recovery disc and installed the operating system using the Toshiba disc.
  Then, it was possible to reinstall the OS.

  Notes; The M400 seems supported RAID and therefore, you need to install the RAID driver first!

• Portege M400 recovery English CD

  Hello, I was hoping that someone could help me. I just bought a Toshiba Portege M400 a guy on eBay. When I received it, all the manuals were in German, but the operating system and the programs were in English when I turned it on. So I decided to test the recovery CD to see if it would work, because I knew that I would probably need it in the near future. However, when I installed the OS was in German, all toshiba programs are in German. I sent the guy I bought it said to contact toshiba and see if they would be able to send me a recovery CD which is in English. I hope someone can help me coz Ive has now been left with a tablet pc that I can't use coz I don't understand German =)

  Thank you
  Gary.

  Hi guys

  I get the same info from the ASP in my country. You can get the Toshiba Recovery CD in the same language, where the laptop was purchased.
  If you want to use another language of the OS, so you need to install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft and then you can download and install the necessary Toshiba drivers on the site of Toshiba driver.
  By the way. Each manual user in all languages, you can also download from the Toshiba site.

• Portege M400 - CPU cooling problem

  Last year, when I had used my Portege M400 for 2 years, he started the deadlock occasionally. Sometimes [I couldn't even start it | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjNa8-c2Aro]. With cut and try the method I found the problem. The Spring wire which clasps the CPU radiator, it was with not enough force:

  http://Zorko.ru/assets/files/534/534/170720102589.jpg

  The problem was solvable by Berry to the claws spring begins to apply more force hugging the radiator of CPU:

  Apply a new layer of thermal grease has been useful as well:

  However, the solution works for only a few weeks. And then (especially if it's hot outside) the story begins again.

  Any suggestions how to solve the problem once and for all? Thank you.

  Hi Greendrake,

  It s really great that you are interested in your Portege M400 and you can remove it. It of really not easy and so this cannot be the people with a lot of experience.

  Anyway, as you know here our forum user s only. This means that you can speak with normal people like you and me. I would recommend therefore to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Maybe the guys know this problem or something else or you need a thermal grease special because not all compatible thermal greases all cooling.

  By the way: on the Toshiba site you can find a list of all service providers.

  I hope it helps. :)

• Shutdown in Vista with a Portege M400 problems

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Portege M400 (do not know if it is a matter for the Council of vista or portege support plate, anyway). I installed Vista Express Upgrade a few months ago and everything worked fine for a while.
  But over the last 4 weeks, my laptop seems to have a problem when stopping down. No matter if she's just hibernates or shuts down completely, the computer automatically turns itself after being off for about 5 seconds.
  I have to use the switch to turn it off again (and then it stays off). Any ideas? I haven't changed anything and it could be a hardware problem, but my guess is that it has something to do with Vista ;)

  Thank you

  Alex

  Hello

  installed some software or tools/applications/updates? Sometimes, a small update can disrupt the entire system and preventing it from functioning. So, just check what has been installed and it may be useful to install the new bios, maybe update all drivers etc... Make sure that everthing is real and up to date.

• Portege M400 - Vista installation under the version of BIOS 1.80

  Hello

  I came to the decision to install vista on my M400. I upgraded my BIOS to 3.40. However, I really only want the quiet fan so I was wondering if it was possible to run Vista under BIOS v1.80 and, if so, whether it would impact performance in any way.

  AFAIK Portege M400 (PPM40) is supported in Vista, but I don't really know what will happen with fan and noise. Just testing everything. If you don't like Vista, you can install recovery image at any time again.

• Portege M400 Tablet product Recovery DVD-ROM

  Where can I get a set of recovery discs to DVD-ROM for my Portege M400 Tablet products please?

  Hello

  Usually, you can order the recovery disk using this page:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  But this page provides a recovery only for the most recent disk series laptop.
  I'm not very well if you'll be able to order the recovery disk because of the age of the M400 m

  Anyway, the other possibility would be the ASP. You can contact your authorized service partner and could ask this disc

  In the worst case, you can use a clean Windows disc and Toshiba drivers are downloadable from the page of the driver.

• Boot Portege M400 problem

  Hello world!

  I had this Portege M400 for nearly 2.5 years and never met with such a problem.

  When I press the power button / stop * HDD led light turns on, then WiFi and then suddenly the HARD drive off * and the rest in this way: (.) Eventually, the Toshiba logo appears at the same time. I thought that problem disc HARD just to know that after 90 degrees my laptop WHAT HDD led start flashing again. Eventually, Windows loads at startup animation it would 'safe' return to normal position and expected to start Windows.

  so, I suppose the problem is somehow related to the accelerometer, is it? I don't get these gels after Windows starts. Currently I have version 3.8 BIOS and installed Windows 7 Pro...

  It's really starting to annoy me - people look at me funny, as I switch my cell phone 90 degrees :-)

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards
  Jovan

  Hello

  Maybe it has something to do with laptops HDD?
  Maybe the head of HARD drive cannot be moved correctly and the vertical position allows to get the drive moving head again
  Unfortunately, I've never seen such strange behavior for laptop and so I can give you a few personal suggestions.
  In my view, that the HARD drive should be checked at the first maybe the problem could be solved in replacement of HARD drive

  I need to do a recovery for my M400 disc is not in the Toshiba Assist - Protect & fix. So where he's hiding?
  Any help would be gratefuly received, as it is driving me crazy.

  Hello Bob

  AFAIK Portege M400 comes with DVD recovery and Toshiba assist Protect & fix, you can find the shortcut for the creation of tools & utilities only. I know that Portege M300 comes without recovery media and user, it can create only, but not on the M400.

• Portege M400 problem with virtualization

  I have problem with VT in BIOS VT is enabled, but Windows 7 do not. I instaled XPmode, but when I try to start I get connect this virtualization is disable. I don't know what I do mus.

  Hello

  What CPU you have in your Portege M400?

  Virtualization is a function of the motherboard (BIOS) * and * processor type. The fact is that not all processors are dematerialising and then you should check the specification on the first Intel page.
