• Portege R100: update BIOS - unauthorized user

  Hello.
  I am trying to update the BIOS of my newly purchased Portege R100, but flea market.
  I installed the driver of common Modules after it failed the first time, but now when the BIOS update starts I get an error window pop up saying "user is not authorized to update BIOS. Where do I change this?

  I only am not particularly computer savvy so please be gentle with me.

  Hello Jim

  Is there a special reason for update you BIOS? Did you clean OS install?

• Tecra M5 - supported BIOS for Bitlocker in TPM mode

  I have a Tecra M5 (PTM51E) running Vista Ultimate. I would like to configure Bitlocker with the TPM secure who is aboard. I am aware that you can use Bitlocker without a TPM, but it requires the user to have an external token for example on a USB key that they have to be inserted at boot time. I prefer to use the TPM mode there is no need of this.

  I have flashed the BIOS to v3.60 which is the last. Before I was able to Flash the BIOS in Vista (which is the only option provided on the Toshiba's European support site) I found I was load drivers for 'VAT package', without that this BIOS update simply says "computer not supported." Another way to do it is get the BIOS for the PTM51U from the American site which allows you to write the BIOS update on a bootable floppy.

  I used the "Bitlocker Drive preparation tool" which is available in "ultimate" Microsoft to set up the partitions as required by Bitlocker, i.e. my HDD 40 GB is divided into a primary to be encrypted (c) partition of 35.7 GB and 1.5 GB separate partition (s).

  I have the driver v3.00.1135.00 "Trusted Platform Module", which is the last. After you activate the TPM secure in the BIOS (press and hold ESC when turn on/off and then press F1, second page) I can then go to the Infineon security platform Initialization Wizard and set the "owner of the platform" and other passwords etc.

  The TPM Initialization Wizard automatically opens the Bitlocker setup application when it ends (or you can get to it any time thereafter through the control panel).

  The message I get from the Bitlocker cmdlet is:

  "Your system is not configured to use BitLocker Drive encryption. The BIOS did not correctly communicate with the Master Boot Record (MBR). Contact the computer manufacturer for BIOS upgrade instructions'.

  Does anyone have this working on a M5 (i.e. Bitlocker with TPM)? How did you do?

  Thank you very much m.

  Hello

  Please contact the nearest authorized service partner. They can help you upgrade the BIOS BIOS supports bitlocker, including the update for EC/KBC. I know it seems strange, but make sure that they can help you.

  Just call and ask.

• HP Compaq DC7900 SFF - no support BIOS for USB keyboard/mouse

  I recently bought a lease out vintage 2009 DC7900-Windows 7 Home Premium running. It has connectors from the motherboard and BIOS support for a PS2 Keyboard and mouse. There also card mother support for USB but apparently BIOS does not support a USB keyboard and a mouse. Y at - it a BIOS update that adds support for USB keyboard and a mouse?

  Thank you

  Well, I found what seems to be the problem. My USB keyboard and mouse are connected to a KVM switch that in turn connects to the HP PC. The KVM cable provides keyboard and mouse via a simple USB connection. I have connected a second USB keyboard directly to another USB port, and as you say, the BIOS it supported. I then connected the USB keyboard and mouse for a simple USB hub and then to the HP PC, and BIOS does not recognize the keyboard once more. It would seem that the problem is that the BIOS of the PC HP does not support keyboard behind a USB hub connectivity. I have no detailed knowledge of USB connectivity but could guess that there must be a difference Protocol when I hub is in the Middle – obviously the PC must focus on a specific device behind the hub.

  In the end, I think I'm stuck just keep a separate keyboard (PS/2 or USB) around for those times when I need to communicate to the BIOS.

  I have another PC of the same vintage - a custom platform - and it handles the keyboard behind the hub very well. I wonder if all new PC BIOS handle this.

  Thanks again for your responses - very useful.

• Portege M100 - update Bios for Win XP does not work

  I have 1.4 BIOS and tried to use the bios on the download page, tell me the bios is not suitable?
  Why?

  Hello

  Common modules are installed on your Portege M100?
  If this isn't the case, then you must install the common Modules in order to be able to run the BIOS update!
  The common Modules is an essential component of Windows systems.

• 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.

• 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 and new hard drive

  I think to put in a larger capacity internal hard drive - 40G is now a little bit :(

  Does anyone do this? The traps? Any suggestions on compatible drives?

  TIA

  Hello

  As far as I know the old Portege R100 supported a HDD IDE controller.
  So you will definitely need an IDE HDD. I think that it s a 1.8 IDE HDD.

  I think the HDD IDE controller supports only the 28-bit LBA and it would mean that there would be larger than 120 GB hard drives not recognized.

  That's why I choose smaller hard drives.

• Portege R100 and Linux - function keys not working do not and the latest version of the BIOS?

  Hello world

  I have a Portege R100 (PPR10L-13G10P). I am trying to install Linux and when you try to access function keys (F6) the computer does not allow me to... no idea why?

  Also, what is the latest version of BIOS for this computer? And where it can be downloaded?

  Thanks in advance!

  Terrence

  Hello

  At first, I must say that Toshiba doesn't support Linux in general if you are alone with this problem.
  I hope that someone will be able to help you a bit.
  If you want to discover the latest version of the BIOS, just enter the BIOS settings and check it out.
  BIOS version latest won't help you at all, so my opinion is that you shouldn't change anything.

  Anyway, the bio download page is - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

  The feature keys F is supported by special tool Windows and it only works on Windows.

• 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 :)
