Portege R100 - impossible to reinstall my Bluetooth

• Portege R100 - I can reinstall Windows XP Home edition with USB floppy & USB key?

  I recently damaged my R100 thanks to a virus attack. Despite late cleaning things up with Norton, it will now very slowly and I think that the only way forward is through a total reinstall XP.

  I have the original recovery CD and a USB floppy drive but not a PCMIA CD-ROM. As luck would have my USB CDRom is broken. How can I get out of this situation? I'm about to throw an old desk and would be happy to use the XP retail on the R100, if necessary. It is also possible to start the format & install process from a startup disk, and then most of the OS from a USB - having previously filled with copies of the contents of the CD? Desperate people make desperate methods!

  I've read a few other discussions on recovery XP issues but they are not entirely coincident with my situation. Any help on this front would be very welcome.

  Thanks in advance.

  If you can get the installation on the R100 HARD disk files using a FAT32 partition, you can install Windows from the HARD drive after booting from a bootable MS-DOS floppy. (MSDOS can not see NTFS drives).

  You can use a 1.8 "adapter HARD USB drive to copy the installation files on the disk HARD R100 from another PC. The adapter would be cheap.

• Re: Impossible to reinstall driver bluetooth windows 7

  I have a new laptop Portege T210. Bluetooth was working and then stopped, saying: it is not activated while he was. I use the bluetooth in bed.

  I did a system restore and now when I turn on bluetooth, windows 7 Home Edition premium invites me to install the bluetooth driver. However when it starts the bar progression it stops in a way a little and just rest it says please wait.

  I tried several times, including to restart the machine. Thelongest I waited more than an hour, he's right there saying it's to install the driver.
  Someone at - it suggestions?

  I really want to do a system restore.

  Check if the BT stack is installed on your computer. Remove the system, and after restarting the laptop installed the last version of the Toshiba BT Portal > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/

  After doing this BT control feature. In my opinion when the BT module is successfully activated it should work.

• How to get Bluetooth on Portege R100

  There seems to be several ways to get there, I don't know if my Portege can handle all the. Or maybe there are others. Let me know!

  1 USB key: these are ugly and large, although there will be a tiny by Mogo in June (http://www.newtonperipherals.com/Mogo_Products.htm) but I'm sure they all work on my Portege R100.

  2. a Compactflash adapter with CF-Bluetooth-slot pc card card. Also, those who do not disappear completely in the case. And they will work? What is a new technology that is not compatible?

  3. This seems to be a nice alternative: using the SD card. But as I read in this forum the R100 (larger) problems with newer SD-cards. What is it? The seller says it s compatible with most of Toshiba laptops, but I'm not sure about this.

  Or y at - it even more possibilities? Thanks for the tips!

  Only SDBT2 and SDBT3 cards work in laptops with the support of the SDIO. It seems that SDBT map you mentioned has only drivers for PDAS, but not for the laptop. Take a look at the following Web site for more details:

• Portege R100 with SD 2 - Bluetooth card has ceased to be able to see devices

  Hi, I have a R100 with a card SD Bluetooth 2. I used it for a Microsoft IntelliMouse for almost 3 years. Bluetooth stopped working a few days back when I uninstalled some software VPN network. He noted his work, but is unable to see any Bluetooth device when scanning. I know that the mouse still works as I can see when you scan my PDA Bluetooth devices.
  I uninstalled and reinstalled the battery (new and old worm) and SD host controller.
  All appropriate devices are displayed in Device Manager when the SD card is connected.

  Help please, I'm getting RSI by using the touchpad!

  I have a R100 and I lost my card SD2 and the computing technology gave me a SD3 to replace. I found the more stable SD3 version that I had some of the same frustrations as you in the past. Looks like you have made the logical things, but give an uninstall complete / reinstall another go. That's what I did several times. Also, rub your device manager to make sure that all BT devices have disappeared (it can be useful display all those hidden and uninstall one by one). Finally, make sure that the BT Manager load when you restart, or unless you can load it manually. Sometimes, just to be patient with the discovery of the device, there are moments where it could not find a device and then I would try it a few hours later and he was there. If all else fails, try a SD3 card and battery 4.20 because this combination cured all the problems.

• PORTEGE R100 CD-ROM recovery problem

  Hi, I had a few problems of recovery PORTEGE R100. My problem is that when I try to reinstall the system with the recovery of the boot disk CD, it does not recognize the CD. The CD-ROM is not a TOSHIBA product. Is there any solution for this?

  Hello

  It will be interesting to know if your external CD is a USB or PCMCIA device.

  You must make a Windows startup disk and add drivers for your CD-ROM BACK drive and then you should be able to recover the machine with this CD.

• Portege R100 - XP shows constantly the battery icon at 0%

  Hello!

  I have a Portege R100 with just the standard battery. Having bought used, it has been reinstalled with Windows XP and all the drivers of the unit in question and public services. The BIOS has been improved to 1.60 and ACPI common Modules installed.

  The problem is that XP shows constantly 0% battery icon, even if the power supply is on. As far as hardware is concerned, the battery charge and works very well for about 1.75 hours. As far as XP is concerned, there is no battery.

  It's very weird and a bit frustrating! Can anyone maybe shed some light on this and, more specifically, if it is the battery or the charging circuit in the R100 itself? Obviously, one is a * much * more expensive than the other!

  Thanks in advance,

  Sophie.

  Hello

  Have you installed or did you use the Toshiba power saver?
  Usually if the Toshiba Power saver is installed on the Microsoft Windows option doesn t power unit control the battery or the power state.
  Try to reinstall the Toshiba power saver.

• Portege R100 - burn my own recovery CD

  Hello
  I tried to reinstall Windows on my Portege R100 for weeks and finally discovered

  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5100S70004R01.htm

  It is said that if you have a CD player of UBS by Toshiba or something equivalent and appropriate recovery CD, you can boot from the recovery CD to reinstall Windows.
  But I have the recovery CD is not that one "appropriate". In this case, the above document suggests to download the bootimage for floppy drive, then

  "you can make your own CD for recovery bootable directly with this bootimage, if extract you it and use as (1, 44MB) floppy emulation in your Favorites, engraving software and combine it with data from the original CD."

  Can someone explain what this means? Once you unzip the bootimage file attached to the document, you will get a .exe file, which, when you click on, trying to put a bootable diskette. How can I use this .exe file to create a bootable CD?
  Thanks in advance.

  MJ

  Hello

  On this Toshiba document described how you can preinstall your Portege R100 using original recovery (already delivered) media. As you can see you can use Toshiba external drives listed there and on this installation path is very easy because the designed Toshiba recovery image already contains the necessary driver for Toshiba external drives.

  If you n t have Toshiba drives but start other USB drives, you can retrieve the device using Toshiba drive.

  There is nothing on your recovery media burning on this document. As far as I know, you can do so by using some applications like Norton Ghost (I use it) and if you have an external hard drive. Application of Norton Ghost to make the recovery image on the HARD drive directly (I prefer this option and save the image on the D partition) or burn it to CD/DVD bootable.

• Portege R100 - BIOS can't see 1.8 inch 2 GB PCMCIA HDD

  Hello
  I have laptop TOSHIBA PORTEGE R100, I wanted to reinstall win XP using PCMCIA HDD (MK2001MPL).

  It is easily detectable by Windows XP, but it is not detected by my BIOS v 1.3 (I changed the boot priority).
  I should mention that I formatted FAT32 and saved, copied, but it still does not work. Is it possible to start the PCMCIA HDD with BIOS, or I can use it just as internal HDD.
  There may be special driver or another method to solve my problem.

  Waiting for response, any advice would be helpful...

  Hello

  the problem is that the HARD drive is not supposed to act as a normal player. It s, more an extension and I'm not sure I have it would actually work in the BIOS as you describe.
  I think that it wouldn work because the HARD drive need a driver that is not given when just the BIOS is loaded. BIOS loads network PCMCIA cards, but I've never heard of a PCMCIA HDD which was used as a bootable disk. Maybe USB but no PC Card.

  IMHO, I think you should drop your thoughts on using the card as a bootable drive and use it as a normal internal memory expansion.

  In the opposite case: google is your friend :)

• Reload Windows XP on Portege R100

  I have a R100, who does not start in Windows (XP) - gets etc. secure mode/last good on-screen, then dies. I was going to try to repair the Windows installation using a XP normal drive, rather than a full recovery of the product, as the back-ups have been exceeded, of course, and I need some files.

  Another problem, my external PC card drive of Toshiba (PA3246) seems to be dead - power light turns on, but door will not open and not recognized on any PC. It seems impossible to get a Toshiba PC card disk now, only USB.

  So, questions:
  (1) what is the probability to repair the Windows installation, as opposed to the full recovery of the product?
  (2) any thoughts on a failed external drive?
  (3) would be a R100 boot from a Windows CD via a USB connection, or no one knows source of suitable PC card reader (already tried ebay etc.)?

  Any help at all welcomed.

  Hello

  I see you have a lot of Guy question ;) I will try to provide the best answers and proposals of solution :)

  Then on the point:
  1. I don't see any other chances of recovering all of the operating system.
  If you need some files, you could first remove the HARD drive and it could connect to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

  2. If the external PC card reader is dead, it will take a new :( Sorry, but I don't see any other possibilities for a fix.
  Perhaps that the guarantee is valid and you will get a new one for free

  3. If you want more details on the R100 and boot USB please check this:

  Portege R100 does not support installation of the OS on the USB CD/DVD drive.
  Portege R100 supports the recovery of (16-bit and Cardbus) PCMCIA cards.

• Update card WLAN MiniPCI on a Portege R100

  Hello

  I have a Portege R100 and want to upgrade the internal wlan card in an adapter 802.11 g.
  I ve has already searched the Internet, but has not found a fitting. Can you tell me if it s possible, and that I can use. Y at - it than not with integrated bluetooth too?
  Thank you, Florian Niedermayer

  Hello

  Your Portege is old enough laptop and designed model 4 years ago. I found some info it comes with mini-PCI adapter Intel PRO / Wireless 2100 LAN 3B. The same WLAN card is in my laptop Tecra and I am quite pleased. The download speed is not the fastest, but it works well enough and I can use Skype to talk with friends without any connectivity problem.

  In any case, to find compatible parts for older models of laptops is not so easy. If nobody here can offer accurate information, try contacting your local dealer or authorized Toshiba service. They are responsible for the hardware support and they should be able to give the right info. You may be able to use Intel WLAN 802.11 g (bis zu 54Mbps) with good old classic. I don't see another solution. If possible, try to get this card and test it. If this does not work you can send it back.

  Please let us know if the upgrade will be successful.

• Funktion key off out of control on Portege R100

  Hello!

  I m new here and my English isn't the best. So I apologize, if I m typing a few words wrong.

  My problem: I install my old Portege R100. I was able to reinstall Windows XP Home on the R100 and especially all things are okay.
  Something that happens 'out of order' is the 'FN' key, this key is used to turn off the sound light, etc. What driver is needed to solve this problem? I have already installed a lot of things, but sometimes my computer asks me Toshiba common module. I thought that I ve installed several times, but he is not "a set-up-installation..."

  Something wrong?

  Best regards
  Rita

  Hello Rita

  I see that he just a problem. All Toshiba tools and utilities must be installed according to order of specific facilities. Toshiba common Modules must be installed in a first step, before you continue to install any other Toshiba tool or utility.

  On the Toshiba download page you can find the document Instructions of facilities. Check and install all the stuff following this order of installations.

• Portege R100 - recovery CD lost

  Hi... There's a year ago, I had installed a vista transformation pack on my portege r100, but when I uninstalled it, I was still left with icons and displays pop-up ads and other stuff from the Pack... Also, I've lost some features like system restore lately... all this has added to my frustration and I need to reinstall windows XP pro again... But I lost the CD of toshiba recovery... I have a separate bootable XP installation CD although and want to install on my portege

  I have a few questions:
  1. I have an external USB CD RW/DVD Rom Combo from Toshiba. Do I need any other than a bootable XP Pro installation CD?
  2. can I use the serial number of the COA under my portege?
  3. can I use the recovery CD to my friend toshiba instead?

  I would appreciate any kind of help on your part, thank you.

  Hello

  > 1. I have an external USB CD RW/DVD Rom Combo from Toshiba. Do I need something other than a bootable XP Pro installation CD?

  You usually have a compatible CD/DVD of PCMCIA drive in order to boot from a floppy disk for Win XP.
  But I met some people here in the forum who have tried to reinstall Win XP without using a CD/DVD drive.

  > 2. Can I use the serial number of the COA under my portege?
  I doubt that this serial number work in relationship with other Windows operating systems. This serial key belongs to the Win operating system on the recovery disk. It s version an OEM and cannot be used with the other Win XP.

  > 3. Can I use the recovery CD from Toshiba to my friend?
  You must use the recovery disk that was specially designed for the Portege R100. If your friend is the owner of the Portege R100 even then the recovery disk should work on your Portege R100.
  The point is that the recovery disc contains drivers, tools and other software that has been developed only for some notebook series. If you want to use the recovery disk that does not contain drivers for Portege R100 then you could damage it the hardware or an error...
