Portege R100: Solution how to restore unity without resorting to a CD-ROM drive

I have just re-registered my Toshiba R100 after almost 3 years of owning without a single format due to the complexity of get a bootable CD-ROM drive to work.

That won't help those of you who have a computer laptop not boot, but if yours is booting I have used the following method for re - store my laptop with zero problems.

1. put the CD in another computer and extract the Ghost image restore files '01131000.GHO' and '01131000.CRC' of disc 1 and "01131001.GHS" of disc 2.

2. If your laptop has a second partition and then transfer these files to a directory on your windows not partition. If this isn't the case, you will need to use partition magic to create a.

3. create a Norton Ghost of a commercial version of Norton ghost boot disk and a Windows 98 Startup disk.

4 start the laptop the Windows 98 disk, then swap disks and run Ghost.

5 Select Local > Local disk > image
And select the 01131000.GHO file.

6 select the image you just proposed, and then select the R100? s drive and finally select the main boot partition.

7. click on go!

8 re-boot and follow the windows configuration and you're done.

  • How to restore Win7 backup on the new system and drive Action Center repair after disk crash

    I have a Dell which took a 64-bit disk crash.

    I created there is not long from the center of the Action, a disk repair and backup of the C: drive on a backup USB 1 TB drive.  These two events has been made by the Windows 7 Action Center.

    I have a new installation disk in the system to replace the one that crashed.

    Is it as simple restore system on the new drive that boot from the ERD and then recognizes the USB disk and backup file Action Center?

    My hypothesis is the combination of the ERD and backup Action Center will bring my system to date content calendar when they were created?

    Problems to watch?

    If your image is on a connected USB external drive, you may need to install a drive to the external hard drive in the installation process.  So you should find a driver for it and store it on a USB key so that you can install it when asked.

    Starting the system on the ERD is simple and still works.  Just press F12 at first then select the DVD drive and click Yes.

  • Portege R100 install XP on the replacement drive

    Help, please

    My hard drive in my R100 went bad and I replaced it and it became a nightmare to install XP.

    I spent 2 days on this subject, and I can't break! I have the original Toshiba USB floppy drive that can be accessed by cell phone and a desktop USB external CD/DVD drive mounted in a USB chassis. It's the Sony DRU - 540A. I tried everything on this forum and it does not work.

    I copied the I386 folder in the C: / once I'd fdisk and formatted it and when windows was running from the CD it came to try to find the asms file. When I run the Portege R100 Recovery Bootdisk V1.1.zip he can see my Cd/DVD drive however the virtual D: it creates, causing the PC to freeze when I run Windows NT.

    Please help because it's pretty darn painful!

    Thanks Brendan

    Why would you copy the files from the CD to your HARD drive? To install an operating system, in your case Windows XP just boot from the CD and follow the instructions given by the installation routine.

    You can change the priority of booting into the BIOS settings, or by pressing the C key laptop start upward.

  • How to install the OS on Portege R100?

    I have a Portege R100 by the usual means. It has been formatted so it doesn t have something about that. I read there are three ways to install an operating system. PC with USB CD-rom card, I tried without success since the pc card is a 32-bit card.

    I ve tried to locate some computer dealers but they've all sent me away. Where can I buy (live in Trondheim, Norway) good CD with the specific pc card that would make me start the CD of Windows XP Home edition? Apparently Toshiba doesn't have a webshop with accessories. Is there another way to install Windows XP Home edition?
    Can I boot from a USB pin if I copy the CD of Windows XP Home edition for that?

    IM desperate please answer :)

    Lars cordially

    Hello, Lars

    If you want to use the original recovery media in this case, you must use external Toshiba card PC CD/DVD. The recovery image contains disk driver and because of this, the reader will be recognized correctly and start procedure will work automatically.

    If you want to use the own external device, you must use BACK pilot to first use and after use of the drive. On this forum, one user recommended to copy the contents of the full version of Microsoft on the second partition CD and after that start the installation from there.

    I didn t try so far and cannot give you more specific information how to proceed.

    Bye and good luck!

I contacted the support help line which can not tell me where I can get a CD PCMCIA drive to rebuild the laptop (I have the CD). Any ideas on:

    -Otherwise, how to perform the task.

  • Portege R100: No restore CD - is WinXP installation possible?

    Hello!

    I had recently a well used old Portege R100 with a Toshiba PCMCIA CD that comes with it. He unfortunately did not come with the recovery CD and the hard drive has been formatted to him!

    I tried to install WinXP Pro many times now come to the conclusion, sad every time - the computer starts successfully in Windows Setup, but after finishing to load all the files needed it crashes with a Stop (0x0000007B) error. After some research I realize it is because the default XP install disk not having not sufficient not all drivers for the R100 hardware found on the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to install from a standard Microsoft XP disk or is it the only way to use the Toshiba recovery disks?

    Or even the creation of my own recovery CD by adding the necessary drivers for a standard XP disk?

    Thank you very much!

    Marko

    Hello Marko

    As far as I know the image of recovery for this unit contains the driver for the outdoor unit and installation with recovery media is very easy. I didn t try to install Microsoft WXP but if your device has a drive HARD with two partitions try to copy the CD of Windows XP Home edition on the second partition and start the installation from there.

  • Portege R100 - how to install after Exchange of HARD drive?

    Hello world
    I'm new to this forum and I want to know exactly where I'm wrong. I have this portege r100 laptop and the hard drive gave a few days ago. Because I am a novice when it comes to computers, I left the laptop with an engineer, that I found on Kijiji.
    Unfortunately, the engineer could not load any operating system on it. I go through this forum and loads found useful answers, but alas, still the same problem.
    Could someone guide me in the right direction. I would be really grateful that I have exams coming next week and really need the laptop.

    I don't have any CD-ROM compatiable only an external floppy drive.
    I tried to install using the windows startup disk (x 6 downloaded from the microsoft Web site), but after the 6 disc it asks me 3 options.

    1. press ENTER to install
    2. recovery console option of
    Output 3.F3

    When I press on enter is not superimposed my cd rom which I figured out is not compatiable. If I leave the connected cd rom it says unmountable boot disk. It gives me a bsod. Is there another way, I could install the operating system using only the FDD.
    I'd appreciate it really all the help of the experienced members of this forum.
    Thank you.

    First of all, you can not use any external CD/DVD drive... you must use a compatible and recommended by Toshiba.

    Secondly, I you could try to connect the HARD drive to another computer using the USB caddy.
    Then copy the i386 to the HARD disk folder.
    Then, you can run the winnt.exe file to start the Setup program.

    Once configuration is complete plug the HDD to the Portege and tries to start
    It is only theory, but maybe it won't work
