• Portege M400: click right button on the pen does not work

  Hello

  I can't button right-click on the barrel of the pen to work with my new Portege M400 tablet PC. I tried with the option 'Use the stylus buton click-right' in the 'Pen settings' tab 'settings in Tablet and stylus' dialog checked and unchecked, but none worked.

  Is the stylus defective, or worse still the computer? Or can anyone suggest how to operate?

  Thank you

  Toby

  PS: "pen" should be "nep" reversed in option, tab and dialog names above, but the silent filter profanity does not accept the word "nep" (reverse).

  Hello

  You have this problem since the first day? Please remember that the pen is not in a very long distance from the screen. As you know if the distance is too great the pen will not work as usual.

  I get the above message when I click on the sign up page "Portege M400" link under my profile. It is odd bcause I'm actually writing this post on the PortegeM400!

  What service pack level is Windows XP to? How old are your motherboard and BIOS?

  You need two things to support a major player:

  1. a motherboard with a BIOS and a controller that supports 48-bit LBA supported (or alternatively, an add-in controller card that does).

  2. at least SP1 of Windows XP.

• 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!

• Portege M400 because 500 GB HDD 250 GB only

  I just bought a Portege m400 and have improved the ram and hard drive. I install Windows 7 on the machine. I bought a Seagate Momentus SATA 500 GB hard drive, but it is only considered as 250 GB. The m400 does not support hard drives of 500 GB? What continues?

  Thank you for pointing this out

• 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

• Portege M400 - Windows XP cannot find the hard drive

  Hello

  Ive got a Portege M400 who im looking to get a new one, I never had the Tablet XP CD so im trying to install using an XP Pro disk, but whenever I get no hard drive can be detected and I tried another disc of publishing house also.

  Ive looked for SCSI / SATA drivers but can only find RAID drivers which are not good for me.

  I hope someone can help me

  Thank you

  Hi wacksonjackson,

  Why these RAID drivers are not good for you? Windows XP requires RAID drivers if your laptop is RAID controller and there is no other choice to install XP from a normal Windows XP disc. Then download the RAID drivers on the official website of Toshiba. Either you create a new installation with the RAID drivers disc using nLite freeware tool or you copy the drivers on an external USB FDD and load them during the installation of XP.

  Also check similar topics here in the forum. You will find hundreds of similar topics on SATA and RAID drivers.

• Can Portege M400 - I install SATA2 HARD drive?

  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?

  TIA

  Chris

  Hello!

  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.

  Good bye

• Satellite A350-233 - Seagate Momentus XT compatible?

  Hi guys, I want to buy a Seagate hard drive but I can't be sure if it's compatible with my Toshiba Satellite A350-233. The hard drive, I want to buy is the following: "Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB at 7200 RPM / MIN SATA 3 Gb/s 32 MB Cache 2.5 inch Solid State Hybrid Drive ST95005620AS-naked in the car" (amazon link is below).

  I contacted Seagate and they told me that it should be compatible, but I have to contact Toshiba to see if there are known issues. Can anyone enlighten me here? You have problems if I bought it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey,.

  > but I have to contact Toshiba to see if there are known issues.
  Just for your information: here it s just a forum for a user to without any Toshiba technicians so I put t someone can tell you about known issues. ;)

  In any case, I don't see a reason why the player should not work. It of very important that he s 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface.

  You should try it. In the worst cases, it won't work, then you can return to the store and buy another ;)

• Portege M400 - XP Setup cannot detect any HARD disk

  Hello world

  I have everything, what I can and can't try. During the Installation of Windows XP cannot detect any HARD disk.

  PORTEGE M400 PPM40E-0DG0253I
  BIOS 3.8

  Installation of Vista properly with RAID, but XP installation drivers won't work for all that. I try a lot of drivers (versions even for Vista), with integration of nLite, with SD-start 16-bit back, DriverPacks. I bought no change - disk-USB, the laptop cannot see HDD. I try also with the USB-SATA external enclosure, but this without success, but I can see the HARD drive

  Any ideas?

  Somehow you lack driver SATA.
  Very good description how to prepare the CD of facilities, you can find HERE.

• 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.

• Qosmio F60 and Seagate Momentus XT problem

  Hello!

  I need help to solve a problem.
  I tried to change the hard drive of my Qosmio F60 for a Seagate momentus XT (hybrid SSD). I have even if it was simple

  First of all, my new HARD drive was not recognized in the BIOS. So I put a rider to force the SATA 1 mode on the hard drive.
  Now, it appaears on the configuration of the bios.

  With the recovery media creator, I created a USB boot drive.
  So I plug in the USB, I turn on the computer, launch of media recovery, he creates the partition, copy files, everything is ok, but when it restarts, it wrote to insert a system disk...

  Why am I wrong, is there a problem using this HARD drive?
  I said that is usb, the same hard drive works perfectly.
  Is there something to do with the Bios?
  I don't have the update, but my version is since September 2010, I think.

  Thank you very much for your answers.

  Hello

  Not sure if the SATA option is available in the Qosmio F60 BIOS but some BIOS on Toshiba laptops supports this option. In this case, you could switch between the AHCI and compatibility mode.
  But the Toshiba recovery image already contains the SATA drivers, so the system should work with AHCI mode or compatible, too.

  > but when it restarts, it wrote to insert a system disk...
  Are you sure that the laptop start on internal SSD where the operating system has been installed?
  To me it looks a little more the laptop would not boot from that disk SSD.
  Disconnect the USB, by default, the BIOS flash drive and try to boot again
