• Portege R100 - the upgrade the hard drive in the SDS?

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone has improved their HDD R100 to a SDS drive?
  I would like to change my current 40 GB to a disk ~ 64 GB SDD and I was wondering if there is a mark that is one that would be plug-and-play.
  I think the hard drive is an IDE 50 pins?

  Any recommendations where to buy one?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Hama also makes SSD with 1.8 and IDE interface.

  But the best way is you go to your local computer store and ask prices and manufactured products.
  Maybe you can also find in the good internet offers. Try with Google.

• A few questions about the Portege R100 upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege R100 of America with 768 MB of RAM, 40 GB HDD, DVD-ROM on the PCMCIA card. I want to renew the Windows XP Pro Notebook by updating the material.

  -How can I update a larger HARD drive?
  -What RAM should I update?
  -Can I upgrade the processor?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  You cannot switch the processor!

  You can upgrade the HD, but because it is an interface 1.8 "HD with an ide (50 pin ATA) the best you can find is a 60 GB HD (Toshiba MK6006GAH 60 GB) you can find them on ebay for a reasonable price

  You can easily switch from memory with a module 1 GB pc2700-dimm ddr1 (like kingston or corsair) in replacement of the module of 512 MB to a maximum of 1.2 GB.

  You can buy them everywhere

  Also note:

  install XP on a R100 is not very easy, but you can find lots of information on this forum, as here:

• Portege R100 and HDD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Portege R100 and I want to upgrade the 40 GB HARD disk. What is the highest size that I could upgrade using Toshiba or not Toshiba HDD?
  There are 1.8 "SSD? What would be the best way to update?

  Thank you
  Romeo

  I have an old Portege 2000 and it's almost the same specifications your one, but my has been delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive. I've updated it with 60 GB and it works perfectly.
  I can understand your wishes on the HARD drive upgrade, but I recommend you to be a little more realistic and spend it is logical and understandable for this older model laptop.

  So I can confirm that 60 GB HARD drive will be working well. Maybe you can use the HARD disk with more capacity, but Toshiba is now your Portege with 40 GB max. What you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask them if they have more experiences with the hardware upgrade on this laptop.

  To be honest, this laptop is not designed for multimedia stuff and in fact 60 GB HARD drive is quite enough for the installation of applications and for the registration of all the important things like maybe a few videos, photos and office documents.

  What you want to do with this laptop?

• USB 2.0 blue screens on Portege R100

  Hello
  I have a Portege R100, when you insert a USB 2.0 device it blue screens and you can t do something. But if you insert a USB 1.1 device, he is very well, I tried the upgrade to Windows XP sp2 and this t hasn't helped any ideas.

  Thansks

  Hello

  Try to remove the USB entries in Device Manager, and then restart the device. The ports should be recognized and installed correctly. In my view, it cannot happen without any reason. It will be interesting to know since when this problem started.

• Portege R100 freezes - CPU fan is defective?

  I ' v was Portege R100s for a long time, maybe 7 years old, I am at my last one.

  I'll be back from it after eating and the XP screen froze, no mouse movement, CntrlAltDel did nothing. Press and hold the power button it stopped.

  Now I can start, but it freezes again in a very short time, a few minutes. I'm guessing that the processor fan is stopped.
  Not tht sounds good to people, it's a realistic possibility to cannibalize the carcass of my previous and hang the fan of my current group?

  Thank you

  Of course, it could be linked to the question of the CPU.
  If the CPU wouldn't be cooled correctly then the system can stop to answer.

  Are you sure that the fan has stopped working?
  If yes then the cooling module must be checked and replaced by the compatible.
  You may not use the cooling modules. It should be compatible.

  But to be honest, I think that the RAM modules need to be checked also
  In most cases, a RAM problem is more realistic as a defective cooling module

  My old laptop has stopped working because one of the RAM slot is faulty
  I delete a module and the laptop worked using a single module of RAM
  However, I couldn't use it as I wanted and I bought the new notebook.

• Windows XP Setup stops with "Stop 0x0000007B" on Portege R100

  I have a Portege R111, but it is the same model as R100. I am trying to install WinXp on it, with a lot of problems.
  I have no CD to recover, but as I've read, it's possible.

  I use a PCMCIA-cd/dvd player. It starts fine, but after I get a blue screen with the error "* Stop 0x0000007B."
  On the microsoft home page, I've read a lot about this
  [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324103/en]

  It seems that it is a problem with my hd, so I disassembled the 1.8 "HD and connected to my normal pc. Here, I could install WinXP without any problem.
  Then I reassembled the hd (with the top winxp system), but guess what, it doesn't. I just get get the menu in what mode I want to boot into windows (safe mode, safe mode with network,...). Whatever mode I select screen freezes after.

  I tried to run a normal linux (ram only) on it to see if that works. But it's not. The screen freezes while trying to load the kernel modules.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hi guys

  Portege R100 supports the recovery through the BIOS (by pressing 'C') with (16-bit and Cardbus) PCMCIA cards.
  Sequence of disks and controllers (PCMCIA) might work:
  (a) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with PC Card (16 bit), II cable, PCMCIA, Rev.043.242
  (b) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST with a CardBus, cable II, CARD BUS, Rev.136

  The drive used in conjunction with the PCMCIA controller is not so important due to the fact that the driver in the BIOS must allow the controller first. There is a generic CD-ROM drive implemented in the BIOS for the connected player. The "PC Card controller Mode" settings in the BIOS has been 'Automatic Selection '.
  This means that you have nothing to change in the BIOS, because it is the default value.

  It could happen, to connect the power supply in certain circumstances, for example:
  Battery is charged too less.
  The PCMCIA supplies unless energy location.
  If a player is used with a built in battery, please always connect an appropriate adapter.

• Various installation with the Portege R100 and Windows XP issues

  Hello

  I recently bought a used Portege R100. It came without OS and I wanted to install XP SP2.

  I know that restorations only work with PCMCIA readers adapted, but the HARD drive is formatted, so there is no recovery possible I guess.
  Here are my problems:
  -with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD player the Windows installation CD is recognized, and it starts to load the XP drivers until he wants to start copying files installiation--> then I get the blue screen of Windows with the error 00 x 7 (virus or driver)
  -the same thing happens with my former W2k Pro installation disc.
  -With the even more ancient W98SE, strange things are happening too: installation seems to work fine, but when it comes to start with W98SE, for the first time, the system hangs up with pixelgarbage.
  -Make the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot doesn't work anymore.
  -J' also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! It worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copy of Windows I386 folder on my hard drive with the volkov Commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So I got hav files on my drive but after running Windows NT in the i386 folder, the system hangs after some time, when it starts to copy the files to a temporary folder.

  So I tried almost everything I know. at this moment I am download knoppix to try it.

  I ran Memtest86 and 9 Diskmanager to test the RAM and HARD drive, finished two withut errors, so the priority of main parts in the installation process seems to work. Maybe it's that my IDE controller is broken?
  I have no idea, WHY does he not move windows!

  Help is hot!

  Thank you

  Christian

  It should work out that way, run you own your HD first in Fat32format - file-system, otherwise it won't work!
  Don't forget to use "smartdrive' in your BACK-commissioning, otherwise it will take a lot of time, even the 'freeze' is possible.

• 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.

• Portege R700-17Z - upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello

  I currently have a Toshiba Portege R700-17Z.

  I want to increase the amount of RAM from 2 GB to 8 GB, and therefore I want to run 64-bit Windows. I was planning on running a clean reinstall, but 64-bit Windows built into this machine? Or I need a disk full?

  If I need a drive in its own right, any ideas on how to do it without an optical drive?

  Thank you very much!

  The first news on RAM upgrade: you're right. You can upgrade your Portege up to 8 GB and 4 GB compatible modules have part number PA3677U-1M4G.

  According to the specifications of the laptop your Portege shipped with WIN7 32 BIT PROFESSIONAL, but it is supported for Win7 64 bit. 64-bit drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utility can be downloaded from the Toshiba download page.

  Now what is your decision? If you need assistance with installing the OS let us know.

• Cannot get Portege R100 to retrieve by using the original diskettes

  I just brought my 2005 Portege R100 to retire to give one of the children - but it wouldn't start. I changed the boot CD-ROM order > LAN > HDD > PC Card and put the original recovery disks in the drive of DVD Toshiba genuine (and compatible).

  The system starts the DVD player and then gives me the following messages:

  No found record CD/DVD-ROM

  Then he reads the source files in the A: drive and try to mount the PCMCIA drive

  He then tells me it can't find the device driver "TOSCD001".
  Invalid device CDROM drivers selected
  Bad command or filename
  Unable to copy the CD to RAM-drive C: drive!

  All tips are welcome because the child looks forward to his laptop!

  Thank you

  Hello.

  I guess you need a companion disc as described here

  You must boot from this floppy disk to load the driver for CD/DVD drive.

• Portege R100 - impossible to reinstall my Bluetooth

  I had to reinstall my computer (Toshiba Portege R100) since the factory installation discs and now I can't reinstall my BT
  I use the SD Card3 with PA3370 part number.

  My problem seems to be the inabililty to install the SD host upgrade.
  I downloaded the file sdhost-204030514-wxp-w2k. I have used this file before on this machine, but Windows does not run the installation program.
  When I unzip the archive, I can right click to install on the tsdhd.sys but further, nothing happens.

  All my other relocations worked perfectly and the only thing I can think is that XP SP3 does not like this installation package (my last restoration was under SP2).

  Any suggestions for a workaround?

  So, if I understand you correctly, you are not able to install the devices, bluetooth, and Player cards, right?

  For the card reader. I think you should just download following of this site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (Support & downloads)

  -Cardbus driver
  -SD Host controller
  -SD memory card
  -Format SD memory

  Download battery bluetooth for bluetooth.

  Make sure that all downloads are unpacked, before installation and choose the appropriate model for laptop computer and operating system.

• 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.
