• 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 recovery dvd - installation of the OS

  I am very disappointed with toshiba dvd recovery. It installs all tools Toshiba Utilities without no possibility of choice. Is no way to install the OS without the Toshiba stuff? Or is a kind of utility "extract" just OS recovery dvd?

  Hello

  I don't know why you're disappointed with the recovery CD.
  The recovery CD is a simple method to install the whole OS with all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities.
  If you do not need Toshiba tools so you can remove it simply the system.
  As far as I know, you should get the recovery CD and also Tools & Utilities CD or DVD.
  On this CD, you will only find the drivers, tools and utilities.
  In this case, you can install a new OS from the original CD of Microsoft, and then you can install all the drivers that are placed on the media.

• 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.

  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.

  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!

• Re: Question about the CD/DVD player for Portege M400

  I have a Portege M100 - and the CD-ROM drive does not work.

  Whenever I put a disc in I can just hear the motor turn the disc, but the computer is not picking up the drive. Device Manager picks up flawless.

  It doesn't seem to be any firmware for this sorting (or am I wrong).

  I've seen a DVD player for a M400 on ebay and I was wondering if that would take on my M100.

  Before buying it, I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be compatible. It seems to be OK size wise, but I was wondering if my Portege M100 XP would be able to use it.

  The description for the drive I want to put in the M100 is below:

  Thank you very much for your time. :)

• Portege M400 HDD - password and drive upgrade questions

  1. How can I change the hard drive password? the Toshiba utilities allow me to change the password of the BIOS but not the hard drive password

  2. If a secondary hard drive is mounted, it is possible to run the DVD writer as an external Bay? y at - it a connector / converter available?

  3. If Toshiba RAID mirroring is enabled, this speed of disk read time? for example reading speeds could theoretically be doubled by interlacing readings on the two disks - what is the difference of real world performance?

  4. are there restrictions on the internal hard drive?
  I bought a new hard drive from Toshiba (MK1234GSX / 120 GB) and mounted in secondary drive Bay, it works, I cloned the existing overall hard drive and it is even possible to boot from the secondary drive and see both drives.
  However if I replace the internal drive with the new drive, I can see the drives in the bios, but blue-screens of windows at startup: error seems to be that windows does not find the disk...

  When I add the original disk to the secondary drive Bay and start since I also can't get windows to recognize the new drive.
  This doesn't seem to be a simple problem of windows, because windows is happy to start on the new drive in the high Bay, so I ask if there is some restrictions at the end of Windows...

  5 Why have saved my Portege M400 website it says: "sorry, but this product is not available in your region."

  Thanks for any advice,
  Jonathan

  1.) as far as I know the HARD drive password can be changed in the BIOS
  But beware, if you forget or type the HARD drive HARD drive password will be locked and you will not be able to access the HARD disk. In this case, the HD is not more usable.

  (2.) the Ultra Slim bay is a single drive bay that welcomes the reader of CD/DVD or a secondary HARD disk.
  The extension utility from Toshiba Mobile allows the insertion of hot of these modules.
  I found this info in the user manual and following modules can be installed in the Bay ultra slim:
  -Ultra Slim adapter HARD drive Bay: this will allow you to install a HARD drive in option
  -Kit ultra Slim bay DVD-ROM drive or DVD super multi drive kit
  -Disk (SATA) HARD drive kit
  The adapters you will need to order of the ASP

  (3.) I did not notice any differences in speed reading while the RAID has been enabled or disabled. (I used the Qosmio G20 with RAID)

  4.) Please check the manual for compatible HARD drive sizes!

  5.) maybe the M400 is not available in your country or region. But it s only my suggestion

• Modem will not accept the drivers on Portege M400

  Hello

  I have a Portege M400 built from a unnatended installation, which accepts all Bluetooth, Screen Rotation, etc. Disk utility HARD drivers but it won't accept and install THE modem drivers. I tried the drivers from the Toshiba tools disk and two drivers XP modem on the Toshiba site.

  The modem is installed and works fine when using the product recovery image, but the drivers will not work after the installed unnatended be applied.
  The unnatended disc has also included modem drivers, but of course, they do not pick up any.

  Is it possible that I can get my Active Modem?
  Thank you very much

  Rob

  You said that the modem is working after installation of the recovery CD.
  One question; Why you n t want to use the Toshiba Recovery CD?

• Portege M400 and 3.60 BIOS

  Ubuntu Linux running on the M400 and it seems that almost all BIOS version 3.60 prerequisite are broken because there are errors of the quirk on the CPU APIC. Perhaps Microsoft could circumvent the APIC tables broken for awhile but things with Linux is a bit bulky. Microsoft asked to Toshiba for a BIOS update to address these issues and it seems to be fixed from 3.50.

  See here

  Even under Linux not more APIC errors appear. :-) But after the update from 3.60 BIOS splash screen remains active and keeps me to select an option for a boot (grub) multi entry. If the OS is already from the start screen become white first, then gives finally control the operating system. Others see this as well?

  I am able to select something in my Start menu, but it is more guess the start screen is always at the top. Very annoying it :-(

  Another issue I have is that sometimes the system freezes for a few seconds and then continues, nothing to see in the logs when you use a Tablet Ubuntu or Windows XP Home edition. So might be a bug in the BIOS once more. Yet once you are looking for confirmation, other know about this as well.

  Reflash 3.60 a couple of times, but seeing this behavior over and over again.

  Although it seems to be some control fan in 3.60. He does not like a DC9 aircraft, but were still not silent like the 1.80W or the 2.10N of BIOS versions. Nice to see these fan noise changes incorporated in 3.60 and later

  Hi Robert

  I know you hate me, but the fact is that Portege M400 has sticker next to the keyboard and it says something like designed for Microsoft. With short words: Linux OS is not supported.

  If you need help with Linux on Toshiba laptops please check http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html

  Question about freezing is very strange and if you want to check properly install recovery without additional software image. In this case you will have factory settings and clean the preinstalled operating system. If you notice some outstanding questions, you must contact authorized service partner and clarify this point.

  Good luck!

• 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 - how to remove the condensation of water?

  I received a second hand toshiba portege m400 mail and saw there probably a condensation of water trapped between the external display and touch screen behind her. because the screen in the upper left corner looks whitish. and the sender of the laptop said he wasn't there when he sent it. I have a picture of trapped moisture, for those who want to see it.

  so, I opened the screen by unscrewing. and I saw that most of the moisture is stuck between the external screen glas and one other layer behind him, which I guess, is the part of the touch screen. who looks inaccessible. These 2? the layers form the upperpart of the screen.

  the lcdscreen with all the electronics in this layer, form the lower part of the screen or if you want, cover. This part is now oke. He also had a condensation of water on it and I was able to gently wipe the little moisture of the lcdscreen without problem. This helped a bit with this problem.

  but moisture remains trapped between the part of the touchscreen layer and this layer of glass in the upperpart of the screen/cover.

  hoping to evaporate the moisture, I left the enlightened a bit more open for a day, I broke even the upperpart and the lowerpart of the screen. I applied a little of an infrared lamp, a remote backup heat. anything that did not help.

  * so, how can I remove the condensation of water? *

  * is there a way to remove a layer in the upperpart of the screen to reach the humidity? *

  Hello olekike

  Please don t get me wrong, but I'm afraid, you need professional with this Mr. help as I see that your question is not answered for days now, and I think that nobody here has a lot of experience with this stuff.
  View replacement OK but how to remove the condensation of water on the touchscreen is perhaps too heavy for us.

  I recommend strongly to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. talking with the guys what we can do about it.
