  I have a Portege R500-11 pair with SSD and I want their downgrade to XP. (speed issues)

  First question. Is it possible or are there problems?

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

• Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

  Hello

  I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

  BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

  Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

  Hi, ctenorman

  I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

  Good luck and let me know how it goes

• Compatibility with intel 310 X61s mSata

  I read that the X61s is perhaps not compatible with the 310 mSATA from Intel, but were unable to determine whether it is "fixable" with an update of the Bios. I want very much to get an mSATA if it is compatible with this great machine.

  It is not compatible, this compatibility requires the appropriate hardware configuration and not BIOS firmware.

  The first machine to support mSATA is X 220.

• Compatibility with Intel Core I7

  Hi all.

  I am building a machine that will run Vista 64-bit with memory 12 gig and then what I'll do, if the development or personal will run on virtual machines on external drives. The specifications of my local computer store gives me for equipment includes the following:

  • Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256 KB of memory Cache L2 8 MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor

  • Mushkin 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) 240 - Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

  • MSI X 58 Platinum LGA 1366 Intel X 58 ATX Intel Motherboard

  • XFX PVT94GYALG GeForce 9400 GT 512 MB GDDR2 of 128-bit PCI Express 2.0 x 16 HDCP ready low profile ready card video

  I don't see this indicated on the compatibility tables for VMWare Workstation 6.5 and before I got actually to buy the material I want to know if anyone uses the I7 with VMWare Workstation.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Guy Davis

  The Core i7 processor is fully supported under Workstation 6.5.  Workstation 6.5 allows even use the new EPT of Intel technology for better performance of the virtual machine.

• Portege R500 - 11K with the XP drivers for the UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS module

  Hello world

  I have some pre-sales questions on laptop nice R500 - 11 K.
  I want to install XP pro on this machine. The device is delivered withou XP Recovery CD. (model 11A C)
  There are beautiful collection for R500 XP drivers so I can install XP manually.

  NES http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=eu&mode=allMachi & action = search & teddProduct = 747

  Model K 11 has another installed UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS module unlike models. Great!

  What about drivers for this module?
  There is not any UMTS/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS modem drivers listed in the list of drivers for Vista or XP or device.

  So the question is, if I want to install XP, where can I find the driver for 3G module manually?
  Is the component of another driver driver?
  -Does anyone know the name and the type of this module 3G? In my view, the module is provided by aint Toshiba of the seller.

  Anyone have any experience with XP on R500 11 K?

  Thank you

  Marek

  Hmm, you're right.
  The pilot of the 3G is not available on the Toshiba page

  Seems that the driver has been downloaded not however the Portégé R500 was delivered with a * Novatel MSM6275 card * ThreeG (Qualcomm should be manufacturing the chip) and if you want, you could try to download the driver of the 3rd site part.

  Good luck

• Portege R500 - stop with AuthenTec software installed

  I have a problem with R500 (PPR50E-06W011PL). I plug it nine January 4th, 2010.

  In the order indicated in the manual, installed XP Pro and then all the drivers (lates available versions). I very quickly realized shutdown problems (sometimes with blue screen for less than a second) upon awakening from hibernation or same screen saver. It is in almost every second awakening. After reading all the info, I found this forum I decided to uninstall the AuthenTec fingerprint software. Since that time my R500 has never shutdowned itself and you must know that I Hibernate it several times every day. However, this isn't a solution because fingerprintreader software should work fine without cause OS problems.

  Has anyone met with such a problem? If so, it has been resolved? How?

  A installed WXP using Toshiba recovery facilities disk or your own version of Windows XP Home edition?

• Portege R500 Vista: WLan Intel 4965AGN has encountered an internal error

  Wireless works great when it works, but keeps breaking, leaving thousands (literally - more than 35,000 in the last 24 hours) messages in the viewer registry simply saying: "Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN: has encountered an internal error and has not managed." and the link using Microsoft says just no help on this topic.

  Restarting solves the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I really have no idea what is wrong with that but try to reinstall the driver.

  By the way: you use windows WLAN configuration or you use Intel PROSet client?

• Compatibility with R61i SSD

  Hello Lenovo Support Forum,

  Can you please confirm that the next SSD will work with a R61i?

  SSD drives have significantly better than hard drives access time, and they tend to be much more vivid, even with an SATA I limitation in place.

• Satellite Pro M30: compatibility with a TOSHIBA 320 GB external USB HDD

  Hello

  I was looking for a new external hard drive when I came across the disc toshiba 320 GB external hard. However, under the heading "compatible notebooks" it did not have my model. Is this a problem that suggests this will not work on my laptop or it's just a schoolboy where my laptop was unsuccessful?

  I have included the Web page that has the compatible machines.

  Hello

  I put t know why the Pro M30 or M30 is not listed under compatible devices and supported but I n t think that there might be a problem.
  This external HARD drive using a USB connection and as far as I know the laptop supports 3 USB 2.0 ports. It seems the HARD disk should work

  But I think that each dealer would also test the HARD drive before you buy.

• Portege R500 and SSD update

  I have a Portege R500-S5006V with a 64 GB SSD installed.
  Currently I have space issues, but always so happy with this nice computer I don't want to replace it.

  Is it possible to upgrade to an SSD more? What kind of readers are compatible?
  I need to send to Toshiba, or a regular computer repair shop can do this for me?

  I think that the SSD in this machine is not a standard 2.5 "SATA or IDE Drive, it is 1.8" and has a ZIF connector and runs as an IDE device.

  Do a google search for "IDE ZIF SSD" and you will find a few commands which can be compatible. In theory, they should work in the R500, but I'm not 100% sure.

  An FSL can install for you for a fee.

• Portege R500 - all chances of getting a kit of renovation of 3G (UMTS/HSDPA)

  I just bought my Toshiba R500 here in Germany about three weeks ago. A few days ago, I received information that Toshiba will soon offer the R500 with integrated UMTS/HSDPA modem.
  Even more surprising: the price seems to be the same, there is no price increase.

  So, I just bought a R500 with 64 GB of SSD three weeks ago and he is already OLD. I've always wanted the R500 with integrated 3G but my dealer told me that there is no information that Toshiba will offer such a product. Of course, I can still use my 3G Express card with a PCMCIA card, but to be honest, it seems silly to have that thing sticking out of the R500.

  Now, here's my question, because I am sure that other customers are too affected: is wise and customer Toshiba kind enough to offer some kind of kit of renovation of the 3gs for the R500? I know that there is space, including for the reader of card SIM, but if Toshiba does not offer a kit of renovation, any modification may void the warranty and it can also do not work as it should.

  Chances to get a 3G (UMTS/HSDPA) renovation for the R500 kit any time soon? I love my R500 but without integrated 3G, it truly annoys from time to time (btw: the s.cks Word is censored, funny).

  Retro Kit 3G? : D

  Hey Buddy AFAIK the 3G card must be connected to the motherboard, and if someone wants to upgrade the small Portege R500, thin with this card you will need to disassemble the whole laptop.
  This would void the warranty.

  I m not sure if it of possible to modernize the R500 with such card but if yes, then you should contact the ASP in your county for such a procedure.

  I have already seen that the Portege R500 equipped with module 3G / UMTS (3.6 Mbps) high-speed.
  Maybe it's better to sell your R500 and buy a new one with the card 3G s? ;)

  Best regards

• Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

  My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

  Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

  But it is a tricky thing.
  The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

  I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

  You can then use this CD for installation.
