Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

Hello

I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)

Here you can see that XP installation isn't very easy, but can be done successfully

as long as you are working in an environment with appropriate back-drivers back, you can use any kind of external (USB or pcmcia) CD player you want

the bios is accessible by pressing ESC and the Start button

    I have upgraded my Vista Home Premium from window to window 7 Ultimatum. I tried to disable the USB port and and change the configuration of DVD room to read only via the bios, but I wasn't able to do. The bios always the same, whether it was when I had vista.

    I wonder if the operating system upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate trigger necessarily upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of the Windows 7?

    Thank you

    * original title - upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate necessarily triggers upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of window 7? *

    rThen your question isn't specific to Windows 7, you must consult the manufacturer. You should be able to disable the USB via the BIOS ports. Also, why do you want to set the optical drive as read only? If it is shared? If so, the advanced sharing disk properties, from there, you can set permissions on the drive.

  • Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
    Thank you very much!

  • The USB ports and keyboard randomly not working no-error 43

    Hi all

    I tried intermittently in recent days to resolve a really annoying error 43. I was able to glean
    of the various forums that problems similar to mine are most often took place and various folk remedies
    appear to be available, but none of them have worked for me.

    Here's what happens: apparently at random, my usb ports and a keyboard stop working. It's especially annoying
    because I have a usb mouse, when this error occurs, I'm so completely powerless to do anything.
    I got around it sometimes by plugging my mouse into a different usb port (my computer a lot). That's how
    I found that I was getting code 43 error, "this device has been stopped because he reported the problems." (do not remember
    the exact wording).

    This started happening a few days ago, I've never had any problems like this before. I also tried other usb devices
    in the port - nothing works when the error occurs. Curiously, the error sometimes stops just as randomly
    as it begins. Sometimes some ports work and others - sometimes, I can't use my keyboard, but not my mouse and
    Vice versa.

    Here are the remedies I've tried:
    1. Uninstall and then reinstall the drivers for the USB controllers, mouse and keyboard
    2. performance of FixIt for hardware and drivers
    3 let the computer unplugged for a while, then returning to it (it helps temporarily, but the error still recurs)

    Sometimes, I heard that you may need to update your BIOS. I already have the latest version of.
    If someone needs more information, let me know.

    Alright! That's all. I hope someone can help me, that would be a really stupid handicap for my computer to have otherwise.

    Update the latest drivers windows 7 compatible chipset and motherboard manufacturer's Web site.

    Update drivers: recommended links

    If the problem continues, I fear that you may need to replace the USB hub.

    I have esx4.1 on three dl585 running. I have about 100 active vm running, and I have a small question.

    My vm is all 2008 r2 datacenter and I gave them 1 cpu and 4 GB of ram. When I recover a single virtual machine and look at the summary page, I see the bones of memory consumed host 4075 mb and the active guest memory 81 MB operating system. My question is can I reduce the host cunsumed memory to 2 GB without noticing a difference within the virtual machine?

    It looks like you can.   To be absolutely sure that you'd need monitor assets long enough to have a good idea of what the average is and what are the tops.

  • Question about the Apple Watch and tattoos

    I think buy a Apple Watch very soon.

    I have a full sleeve (which is where I would like to wear the watch) and I wonder if it will cause problems with readings with the heart monitor since I want to use the Apple Watch for fitness training, mainly.

    I read on the page of the heart rate for the saying of Apple Watch:

    "Permanent or temporary changes to your skin, such as some tattoos, can also impact performance heart rate sensor. Ink, model and the saturation of some tattoos can block light from the sensor, making it difficult to get reliable readings. »

    There are other problems in addition to playback of heart rate on the Apple Watch for inked people that may know you?

    Thanks for your comments just to decide if this watch will really be for me before making this purchase, because I missed one for some time.

    If you are looking for, there was a very long discussion about this in the past, only shortly after the release of the Apple Watch. What I've read, it seems that the heart rate monitor is the only victim when it comes to the watch, since this is the only thing that requires the sensors to work through ink. Not all inks makes a difference, but most don't. The activity of exercise/app also uses the heart rate monitor to determine the rate for the year. You can take the time to go to the nearest Apple Store and try on the Apple Watch and see if the monitor works with your sleeve.
