• Portege M400 than all the drivers and the necessary XP Recovery

  Hi people,

  I just bought a Toshiba Portege M 400 without software.
  Any package of all frivers you need is available?

  I tried to get all the drivers of several necessary, but installing caused my system to collapse.
  Thus, Toshiba does not provide a complete software package of /driver for its laptops?

  Kind regards

• How to resize the partition on Portege M400?

  I tried Paragon Partition manager (bootCD).
  But when I loaded CD, Partition manager does not see the hard drive of my Portege M400
  Are there special drivers or software to perform this task?

  Are you using Vista or XP OS?

  If you are using Vista OS, you can change the size of partition n disk management
  Simply reduce the existing partition and then create a new free space or simply add the free space to another partition.

  If you are using the XP I would recommend using the tool called Partition Magic 8.

• Win 7 hangs during initial installation, asking drivers...

  I'm trying to do a full, clean install on a new generation of PC desktop.  The following are new & just bought today:
  OS: Brand new retail Windows7 Ultimate (not the version of upgrade)
  Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Deluxe (Intel P45 chipset)
  HARD drive: Western Digital (literally brand new, out of the box... never been used or put in shape)

  The problem that I must sound familiar... initial installation block asking drivers (insert the CD/DVD or a USB device with missing drivers).

  -J' have already been on the site of Asus and downloaded the latest drivers SATA Win7 and Intel.
  -None of the pilots comes to me to get past this problem.
  -The BIOS is the last
  -I try not to use RAID functions
  -SATA is set to "AHCI" in the BIOS Setup... another choice is "IDE" with submenus of "Compatible" & "Improved"... the result is the same in all settings.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I'm currently dead in the water and have dropped more than $1000 & spent more than 7 hours of my time to this today.

  OK, so a couple of things here...

  First of all, thanks to Aziz to try to answer my question, but I respectfully hope that in the future you would read posts more carefully before you answer...

  You wrote:
  - "Try changing the SATA drive to IDE in BIOS and try installing Windows 7"
  .. When in my original post, I said:
  - "SATA is set to"AHCI"in the BIOS Setup... another choice is"IDE"with submenus of"Compatible"&"Enhanced"... the result is the same in all settings ." ".

  You also then have detailed a series of steps that could only be applied if the operating system has been installed & Starter.  I think it should be clear in my description of the problem that I was not able to get anywhere near that far...
  ".. .initial install hangs, asking drivers (insert the CD/DVD or a USB device with missing drivers) ." »

  In the end, I was able to get things to work & I wanted to share my solution for those who can be useful...  For some reason, the "clean install" (NOT an upgrade) Win7 process would literally see my IDE DVD drive during the first installation process.  Obviously, BIOS could see the DVD player, as he was able to Start from the DVD drive... but during the initial installation, it seems that the DVD player simply ceased to be accessible.  Even now, I'm not sure if this was due to some kind of motherboard problem, or maybe a compatibility problem between Windows 7 and my DVD player specific or whatever... the main cause remains a mystery.  I tried all settings possible jumpers on the drive itself (master, slave, cable select, no rider in all, etc)... all to nothing does not.  It is / was not a disk of old, obsolete... it was purchased last year.  I remain puzzled about what has increased.

  Anyway, I knew that the problem was somehow linked to access to the DVD player, I decided to try a SATA DVD drive rather than I had been using the IDE hard drive.  So, I bought a new SATA DVD drive to install in my machine, and finally everything worked well.  Again, I don't know always with certainty what the problem was.  It is possible that I could have bought another IDE DVD drive & tried that instead... that may have worked also, but since I didn't try it, I can't be sure.

  Good luck to other similar questions & I hope this helps.

• 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.

• Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

  Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

  I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

  I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

  I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
  I go past the first steps and choose Install.
  I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

  Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

  I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

  Currently loaded on the XP: currently loaded poster IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers like Device Manager: "Intel (R) 82801 G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and primary IDE channel."

  Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

  Hello

  It is very easy to solve this problem.
  If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

  Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

  You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
  As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

  Hope I could give some useful advice.

  Cheers mate

  I want to replace my old SATA1 80 GB HD with a new 250 GB HD, but I can not get a proper HD SATA1, are the SATA II compatible with the M400 HDs? Would your recommend a suitable HD?

  Also, I want to install Windows 7 starts as a clean install (to replace the current XP Tablet edition). I seem to remember that there could be problems with getting drivers raid in place first, is this correct?

  Can anyone help please?

  Disks hard SATA2 will work in Portege M400 because they are compatible downgrade to SATA1. It s the same interface but the theoretical transfer rate is higher. The only difference which s.

  For the installation of Windows 7, you should try the RAID for Vista driver. The Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7.

• Portege M400 - how to install utilities for Windows 7 Toshiba?

  I have improved my Portege M400 Winows 7 (32 bit), which went well. However, impossible to find out how to get and install the utilities that I included with XP Tablet version.

  Can anyone suggest how to get (I understand that they were available for Vista)?

  The Toshiba utilities do you mean are designed only for Windows XP. On Windows Vista and Windows 7, you need only the Toshiba value added Package. This package contains everything you need.

  Portege M400 doesn't support Windows 7, but you can try installing the Vista drivers. Most of them are also work on Windows 7.
  AFAIK, you must also Support Button Toshiba on this model.

• 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.

  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.

• Portege M400: Can I install a SATA Western Digital?

  Can I install a Western Digital SATA in my Portege M400?

  I've tried and failed.

  I can copy files CD for the new HD system, but the result is a failure to blue screen when the system boots.

  I can't get a clean install of Windows XP to start same - HD is not recognized despite the use of the Toshiba SATA/RAID drivers from a floppy disk.

  I tried to use Norton Ghost to copy an image of the HD (work) in the new HD, but which also results in a blue screen failure.

  Is there something exclusive on the SATA?

  The laptop will not work with the original HD?

  A (larger) replacement Toshiba HD work?

  -don't

  Turn off the laptop and the beginning he presses the ESC key.
  On the third page of the bios (pg down), you will find the raid configuration.
  I assume you actually already the RAID setting, but it is not really written on the HARD disk.

  At a first remove the RAID and replace JOBD confirmation of the 1234 password.
  Save the settings restart und. Re-enter the bios and change JOBD to RAID (new 1234).
  After that your HARD drive works perfectly!

• Impossible to install Vista on Portege M400 - not compatible with ACPI

  Hello

  I have a toshiba portege m400.
  It has windows xp professional installed SP3 (the former owner he replaced with that of the xp tablet edition - I want to upgrade to vista so I can have the capabilities of the rear shelf!)

  In any case, I have a vista version - a version upgrade Home premium.
  When I try to install it it comes up with the error:

  +' This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed on a computer that supports ACPI. Contact the manufacturer of your computer for an update of the BIOS, or install Windows on an ACPI compatible computer. " +

  When I try to boot from the cd it gets up to when I type in the product key, but then he tells me I have to run this from my current operating system.

  I tried to update the BIOS (it is currently 1.8 and I heard vista needs 2.0 at least). I tried to install the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba - BIOS version 3.2.8 site but it says "this computer is not supported" even if I went through the procedure of choice of type of my laptop and spec and the pilot came on his list.
  Now I'm pulling my hair out.

  Can someone help me please!
  Would be to get a full version of vista (not an upgrade version) work and boot from the cd because it seemed to go further like this?

  Thank you!

  Hi guys

  I think I know how you will be able to update the BIOS

  I read here in the forum that in very rare cases, you have the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS
  So in my opinion, you will be able to update the BIOS if install you the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc.
  After installation try to update the BIOS

  After the BIOS has been updated you could install the new Vista

  See you soon

• Portege M400: Why am I not asked a password at startup?

  Hello

  I have a Portege M400 and I used the Toshiba security software help put in place a the BIOS boot password, but also a protection of HARD drive password. This software, as well as the true BIOS (Esc + F1 at startup) show that the password I set is recorded or recognized.

  However, I'm not really asked any of these passwords when I start the computer.

  I have a system to dual-boot with the original WinXP for Tablet PC on one of the partitions and one Feisty Ubuntu on another. My boot loader is GRUB, but I do not understand why this should affect the behavior of the BIOS which should arrive before calling the bootstrapper...

  Can someone help me with this? It would be really important for me to protect my BIOS and the hard drive.

  Thanks in advance,
  dsokus

  1. check your security settings with password for Toshiba utility. Are these these configured correctly?
  2 you have the user or supervisor password? If you only set the supervisor password that you are not prompted for the password.
  3. try to put the HDD and user pw in the initial bios setup (press ESC when prowering on).
