• Portege R500: Card reader SD and ODD do not work - drivers needed

  I have laptop portege R500, product number: PPR50E-04X04WCE.

  last year, I changed the operating system and installed windows 7.
  Since then, I can't use the dvd drive or the sd card reader.
  And the control panel it apears two unknown devices, but I can´t find the controllers for these.

  What can I do to fix this?

  I assume you found unknown devices in Device Manager.
  Check it please http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78
  Here you can find instructions how to identify the unknown devices.

  I checked the Toshiba download under http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page and your Portege is listed there, but under the option ARCHIVE. It is supported for Win7 so there is no problem to install all the drivers available.

  Check it out please and let us know if you still have the same problem.

• Portege R500: XP Installation with CD/DVD external USB - SOLUTION drive

  Hi all!

  I just wanted to take five minutes to inform you that installing XP on a Portégé R500 with external USB CD/DVD drive is possible, even if you have already deleted Vista and with a CD bootable XP Win in hand.

  First go into your BIOS and check / set first boot device is CD/DVD player

  Start your installation of win XP from the CD without the F6 thing and let go his way

  After some time, the installation stops and says "cannot find the file xxxx" and you are invited to tell where is this file

  "" Just replace the drive letter "C:" which is given by default with the letter of your CD/DVD drive (and leave the rest as it is) and the installation will continue until the next "cannot find...". "and you need to again replace the drive letter, etc...

  After a complete installation 'automatic assisted manual', you are welcome in Win XP!

  The next question is "where can I find my CD/DVD drive letter?" and the answer is "it's the next letter after your last HARD drive letter" (I consider you have only your Portege with nothing else plugged that your CD/DVD) so more often it will be 'E' C: being the first partition of your HARD disc : is the hidden / recovery partition that winning creates.

  But don't worry, if you type try to the wrong letter, that you will have as much as you want until you find the good and the following "cannot find...". "it will remain the same.

  I hope that this information will help some of you who want a fresh installation of win XP from a newly formatted HARD disk.

  With sincere friendships.

  Mage.

  What a great information!
  Thanks a lot for posting this.

  I think it might be useful to others here.

  Good bye

• Portege R500-124: where to get DVD Reovery

  Hello

  Just got a Portege R500-124 and they wanted to establish themselves.

  They just asked asked on a recovery DVD, as none came with it.

  I have looked at the manual and see you can use F8 at startup upward to get to the recovery partition and do a complete reinstallation shape it.,.
  but it would also be good to have a recovery media...

  Is anyway to create this laptop?

  This came pre-installed with Windows XP PRo.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Where did you come from?

  As far as I know the European notebooks from Toshiba are always equipped with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  However, try to contact the ASP in your country and ask if the restore CD is available for you Portégé R500.

  If this isn't the case, then I recommend to check your system and installed applications.
  Sometimes, there is an option to create a clean recovery CD/DVDs.
  In this case, you will need to burn this image of Toshiba on the DVD.

  Best regards

• Strange CD and DVD writing on Satellite A30

  My Satellite A30 is out of warranty. When the location PCMCI cover broke, I had to completely dismantle the laptop to fix bent pins pcmcia. This was to remove the CD-RW/DVDR drive.

  Now I can't burn CDs. I can see DVDs that I bought but not those rental. When I insert a purchased DVD WinDVD4 will automatically launch. With a DVD rental is not, and if I start it manually, it does not recognize that there is a dvd in the drive.

  Does anyone have an idea what went wrong?

  Hello

  Eventually the rental of DVD media was designed for a different region and your Player supports the region code incorrectly.
  You know that every DVD Player supports the different region codes and you can change it 4 times. This option is necessary if you want to watch movies to DVD that is designed for the European, United States, Asia, market etc.

• Portege R500-11Z: how to use the external mic and hear the internal speakers

  We have a Portege R500-11Z running XP and want to use Skype with an external table microphone and the internal speakers.

  When connect us the microphone to the Jack MIC the Portege, built-in speakers cut out!

  How to use an external mic and still hear the internal speakers?

  Hello

  > When connect us the microphone on the Portege, built-in speaker MIC Jack cut!
  Are you sure you used the microphone port and no headphone port?

  Have you checked your settings Audio from Skype?
  There is an option called ring through the speaker too or something like that.

  Please also check the Realtek HD audio Manager in Control Panel.
  There is a tab called Audio i/o.

  Usually, you can change the connector settings, by clicking on the small key-tool icon.
  Disable the option called Mute rear output when plugged headphones before

  As you can see is called headset and not so I m confused a little bit why the speakers are turned off when you connect an external microphone.

  By the way; There is also a tab called micro.
  Check if the two options that reduce the echo and noise are OFF

• WXP and Portege R500 - cannot add a new USB device

  Hello.

  I have a new Portege R500 Windows XP Home edition. It works great except for one thing, when I try to add a USB device does not install automatically.

  I get the 'Add new hardware' Wizard, who found the drivers and starts to copy the files... but it's like that. Animation of the files copy in place going and going and going, but never leaves. From this point that the whole machine froze (only the pointer of the mouse is sensitive), it ignores even ctrl-alt-delete and I have to turn the machine off.

  I tried several times, with a couple of different drivers and still get the same result. The device installs on my old M100, also running windows XP.

  If someone knows what's going on (and more important, how I could solve this problem), I would be really grateful.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Compare 4 years, M100 (designed for Windows XP Home edition) and more recent Portege R500 (more recent hardware and Vista pre-installed) is for me quite flippant.
  Can you please tell us what external device to use with your beautiful Portege? Perhaps a printer?

  One more thing: have you noticed the same problem using different USB devices?

• Portege R500 driver CD turns but not recognized

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 in 8 months and 3 months ago, CD drive disappeared from the Device Manager and despite fiddling with the registry file (don't remove the top filter, there was no lower filter) is still u/s.

  I think the problem is a driver like when it starts it constantly tries to turn the cd before you go start. I use a dynadock to connect to my lan work.

  Any help gratefully received.

  Have you tried another OS (for example, a live recording of ubuntu)? We know at least that it is a hardware or software problem...

• Portege R500 - limber permanent upper left

  Hello forum

  I got my new Portege R500 middle of June and after using it for some time without external keyboard.
  I discovered that the police left the part of it is in the air when the screen is opened.

  I turned it to the service center company local toshiba and they have watched and want to talk to toshiba himself.
  Then I had to take a few photos of the problem.

  Then they called me to put it where they wanted to change the basic coverage.
  After 2 hours, they discovered that this does not solve the problem.

  Now I still waiting to hear.
  Anyone who has experienced a similar problem here?

  all the best
  Joerg

  I m not a R500 owner and, therefore, I can t say anything your problem case but in my opinion, the ASP should know exactly what goes wrong
  Maybe you should contact the technicians for more details.

  Welcome them

• Re: Constant cut on Portege R500

  Hey guys,.

  Just bought a model Portege R500-124 (XP Pro) and I must say I'm in love! But I'm having real trouble trying to get my WiFi to stay connected to my home network...

  It disconnects constantly, about once every minute and a half - and then decides to reconnect. Anyone have any idea why? I just can't understand it - I thought it might just be intrinsically problems with our network settings, but I don't think that's the question that we have three other workstations connected without difficulty.

  This problem has existed since the first day (today is day 5/6) - and have resorted to another machine to ask this question!

  What's funny is that sometimes, the connection is holds up to a few hours without any problem, but on the last day and a half, he refuses to hold the signal strength is excellent. and the location of the Portege at home, it's the same as my previous laptop - so I don't think it's a physical environmental problem...

  Is that what the problem of ideas? Really appreciate it... I tried unplugging my router (Netgear); Download the latest Intel drivers for the wireless card, try to change the configuration of the network card detect N in order to detect all a, b and g that my router transmits only up to g.

  Thanks in advance

  PS
  I tried the Toshiba diagnostics prog. and he spotted some problems when the connection suddenly drops - but as soon as he resumes himself that the diagnosis comes as clear - time between dc and the reconnection is 10 seconds or more! So whatever it can automatically display problems disappear and I can never read them in time...
