Portege M400: Cannot install windows XP

Hello

My friend gave me his Toshiba Portege M400 (PPM40E) at the table of settings windows XP (HHD is already formatted copmletely).

Before that I've never worked with SATA controller

So, when installing RAID drivers are required for any HDD lying.
I bought the USB floopy and downloaded some drivers from Intel.

Having suffered a bit, I found requireded (as I thought), hard disk drivers detected (even the license agreement I signed) but that pilots still needed to proceed with the installation.

IF someone faced this problem can you send me on my e-mail ([email protected]) required drivers or give me an exact link?
Looking forward to your advice.

Thank you for understanding,
Best regards from Russia

Hello

Maybe a stupid question but why you do not use supplied recovery media for the installation of the OS? As much as I know Portege M400 (PPM40E) comes with Windows XP edition PC of Table (teacher WXP).

Anyway, check it please this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316401/en-us
Maybe it will help you understand the problem.

  • Portege M400 - cannot install Windows XP on the new HARD drive

    Hello here is my problem,

    I bought an older Portegre M400 E, without a HARD drive. So I buy a new Samsung 400 GB. I looked in the Bios (ACPI BIOS Version 3.40) and it is ok. He shows me the HARD drive with built in Assign LD - 0 status ONLINE, 400 GB size so it seems to be nice. Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0
    So, I want to boot from the Windows XP CD, not recovering my own.

    Windows open to the top and after a short period, the installation ends with the message that it is not any HARD drive. This I try sometimes :-( Hope someone can help me.
    Do not forget that I didn't have any HARD disk with the dates of the laptop.

    Thank you Carsten

    > Changed the matrix Raid, described in the manual, in condition to create 1Raid-0

    I don't know much about your model, but I think that something wrong with the raid in the Bios settings. What other options are available in the Bios for the State of the hard drive? I found the RAID driver on the Toshiba driver page. It is possible, that you can integrate in with a program called nlite Windows installation disc or install Windows as in compatibility mode, and install the Raid driver. then

  • Portege M400 - cannot install OS or restore an old image

    I have a portege M400 and im hardly set any operating system of windows on them. When it gets to the stage where he asks what hard drive to put in place the windows files to, it does not detect the drives.

    I also have an image on a hard drive that I use a universal driver restore program to restore to any laptop regardless of the make and model and which also blue screens after the logo of windows xp when it starts up. The toshiba is the first laptop that I fell on this issue.

    The BIOS is currently 1.8 I think, I can't even put the hard drive in compatibility mode or AHCI.

    im a little confused about restrictions of this laptop.

    Can someone guide me on what I need to do to install windows on this machine please?

    Timox is right: the RAID driver must be added during the installation of Windows XP.
    During installation, you will be asked to add 3rd third-party drivers. As I m not wrong not you must press F6 to add the RAID driver.

    Very important note: do not format the HARD drive once the RAID driver has been added because this would remove the RAID driver from the HARD drive and installing Windows XP will fail again.

    Hello

    1 don't forget to prepare your hard disk with fdisk (a bootable partition) and format it with the Fat32 file system

    2. start by a MSDos saved in your floppy drive-drive with drivers for your PCMCIA CDrom drive (Freecom)

    3. copy the entire i386 to the W2K installation CD directory your HD, be sure to have loaded smartdrive, otherwise it will take ages!

    4 start again with the saved, go to the i386 directory and start Windows NT

    You can look here for more information about freecom pilots and the bootdisks: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232
    On your 3440 it should be easier than with the R100 because of normal 2.5 "HD 6 GB, but the problem is basically the same

  • Portege 2000, cannot install windows, ide errors

    Any help much appreciated...

    former owner deleted the 20 GB hard drive. Have the Toshiba pcmcia reader. Flashed the latest bios. It will boot xp or 2000 cd without problem, however the two OSs stop initially with bsod (2000 gives inacessible_boot peripheral).

    Tried with ME, but the cdrom driver is not the right one (does not load the cdrom drive). In a situation like this, normally, I remove the drive and install (with hard drive adapter) on a pc to format and copy the OS files and then reinstall the drive and start the installation from the hard drive but it has a 1.8 drive "and I have no adapter.

    Help!

    Mick

    Hey Tyson,

    Sorry, but I'm a little confused about your explanation. If I understand you right, you bought used protégé 200 with Toshiba external CD-ROM device (PCMCIA) and you try to reinstall?

    I understand you correctly?

    As much as I know in original Toshiba Recovery CD there is driver for external "TOSHIBA CD-ROM" (PCMCIA/CARDBUS) and it will be loaded at the beginning of the recovery procedure. If it works with no Toshiba devices is unknown to me. If you want to reinstall the OS without the original CD from Toshiba, you must start the laptop using the startup disk with the right driver for external device.

    As you said that the best solution is to start the installation of the HARD disk. You need a Google around and I'm sure you can find one for you. Please visit this site
    http://www.Addonics.com/products/Saturn/aesed.ASP. He is described as the optional kit 2.5 "converter can be used for the 2.5" or 1.8 "IDE HDD.

    Hello

    Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    Hello

    Did you install the SATA drivers first?
    You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

    You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

    Hello

    I see that you have a problem in the installation of new Windows USB port. It seems that your HDD was not detected, right? It's because your laptop uses a SATA HDD.

    what you need to do are:

    1. download the driver AHCI SATA website of intel. (just google it)

    2. copy the files (size 700 KB for 6 files) into the new USB

    3. reboot and install your laptop with win 7 (dvd/usb)

    4. by the time win 7 installation reached the drive to install (none detected), click load drivers.

    5. now load your other USB SATA drivers.

    6. then will show all disks in your system.

    7. continue with the installation process.

    hope this helps.
