• Portege R700 - SSD installation: a succesfull and the other failed

  For what it's worth I just short wants to share my learnings SSD:

  1. I bought a Newton GTX 500 GB Corsair for my R700 (i5, W7). Looked to work ok after normal cloning, but often the PC froze and I couldn't restart it. Only way to continue was to force its rotation down with the power button. I've always had this message when starting:

  + PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable for. +
  + PXE - M0F: exit Intel Boot Agent. +
  + Insert system disk in drive. +
  + Press any key when ready... +.

  Only way to go was to force down once again and then the Pc may start and open windows. I've updated all the drivers I could think of-including Intel - but the problem persisted. Please note that this happened at the time with no systematic behavior, at least what I could understand.

  2. I got cold feet for this behavior and I bought a new R930, exchanged relative small with a bigger Samsun 840 Pro 500 GB SSD HARD drive. No problem, works very quickly and smoothly!

  3. I can now reinstall Windows 7 on the older R700 with the Corsair SSD - and now this machine works without any of the oldest problems, but I Don t understand.

  Any of you have seen something similar?

  > Anyone of you seen something similar?

  Of course. PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
  Usually, this happens because of faulty HARD drive.

  I n t have this laptop Portege but I ve bought the same shape of my laptop Tecra SSD drive.
  After cloning, the data on the drive to SSD drive using the software, which was part of the SSD HARD drive package, start the laptop much more quickly. I m very satisfied.

• Portege R700 - Sandforce SSD OCZ and Toshiba BIOS v1.9

  Hello

  It is a question to the Toshiba techy guys. Please can someone confirm compatibility with SSDS OCZ Vertex2 (Sandforce) with the Portege r700?

  Since I've updated the stock HARD drive I had problems with BIOS recognizing the SDS when you restart. If I boot the laptop from the cold, that is nice, DDI is recognized and everything is ok, the problem is intermittent. When requiring to restart the laptop to Windows 7 (64-bit), it hangs at the screen Toshiba Leading Innovation. It seems that the BIOS cannot detect the drive for some reason any and just freezes. I read the threads on the footprint software but am already run version v1.0.2.32 - so think it is independent.

  I've recently updated firmware OCZ Vertex2 to v1.32 hoping that it could solve the problem and there is not. The question might be more compatible with the Toshiba BIOS Sandforce.

  I am running the BIOS v1.9 - please can you guys do something to fix this?

  > That's obviously a problem with Sandforce
  Always is it that there are several different manufacturers of SSDS, and it might be possible that not all the parties meet the same standards.
  In this case, many manufacturers of SSDS provides updates of the firmware, but this isn't always the case so have to test other SSDS

• Portege R700: HDD/SSD Alert "cannot get disk information.

  The Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert keeps popping up on my Portege R700. It gives the message "failed to get disk information, cannot use the alert function.

  The OS is Windows 7 32 bit. Everything else works well.

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HDD/SSD Alert cmdlet and the Intel Rapid Storage driver, but none of the measures have worked.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thank you

  Try this:

  Remove the application HDD/SSD Alert Control Panel-> programs and features
  Remove the Toshiba Value added Package Panel-> programs and features application
  Reset
  Download and install the latest Package of added value on the Toshiba site
  Download and install the latest HDD/SSD Alert on the Toshiba site

  Otherwise, it would be possible that the problem is related to the HARD drive maybe that alert the program HARD drive cannot read the info of the disk due to HARD drive hardware problem.

• Portege R700-173: Win7 on SSD - how to get a windows installation disk?

  Hello.

  I want to install the new 128 GB SSD in my Portege R700-173.

  I want first to recovery media. But I do not understand what will contain this DVD.

  It will be Windows7 install disc? (I'll be able to install new windows on my new SSD?) with the pilots additional Toshiba and utilities?

  or this recovery disk will contain some kind of image of a real system?

  I also think that moving my C: partition (windows) from the old HDD to the new one SSD (with Acronis software - I did it with my desktop computer)

  should I move only my C: partition (with good shift of k 4)?

  What is this SYSTEM 400 MB partition? should I move it as well?

  Is it possible to install Windows (from recovery disk) on my partition created previously (by the other program)?

  > want to first make a recovery media. But I do not understand what will contain this DVD.
  The recovery disk contains the image of Toshiba.
  The image is a package that contains the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and all the stuff that was preinstalled on your laptop as on the first day of purchase.

• Portege R700 - quick as lightning!

  Despite some reports of 'flaky' and similar operation, I decided to tear off my HARD drive and slap a SSD and W7 Pro 64 bit on my portege R700-184

  flippin heck its the thing to the top fast!

  I used a base of sandforce OCZ Vertex 2 120 GB drive and the Retail Media to install the 64-bit windows. It's with any other firmware or software update for the SSD or Laptop, so right on the box

  Before starting from cold to 95 seconds, down to 23 seconds on the SSD used! and he wakes up from his sleep in 4 seconds! VERY impressed!

  Similarly the 64-bit operating system has improved my WEI scores the CPU is 6.5 to 6.9, the RAM of 5.4 to 5.9 and obviously the SSD took a hard drive of 5.9 to a burning 7.4 :-)

  excellent upgrade in the embryonic stages, I will present long-term stable after that I have all my drivers and running upward and restore my files!

• Replacing the drive HARD on Portege R700

  Hello

  I just ordered a R700 and hope to upgrade the HARD drive of 320 GB for one SSD OCZ Vertex 2.
  Is it easy to replace the hard drive in the R700? Should I remove the keyboard is a Panel on the back?
  What size hard disk will - 2.5 "or 1.8"?
  A SSD will be simply connect using existing connections, or something else there?

  See you soon.

  According to the specifications of the laptop Portege R700 has 2.5 HARD drive is HDD with SATA interface, so I think that you should order 2.5 SSD with standard SATA connectors.

  HARD drive is placed on the bottom side near the cooling vent and it is fixed with a screw only.

  Remove the screws and HARD drive. You will see how the HARD disc is placed and how it must be removed.
  It's very simple and you can do it alone.

• Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

  Hello
  I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
  So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

  And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
  Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

  Thank you for your answer

  Hello

  It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

  I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
  More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
  I think that this is not supported
  Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

• Difference between Portege R700 and Satellite R630

  What is the difference between the two models, Portege R700 and Satellite R630?
  Is it only fingerprint, port dock station reader and a more powerful configuration (CPU, SSD, WiFi 802.11n, Type)?
  Is this the same materials used body? Is it the same weight?

  I found this comparison:
  [http://www.ultra-laptops.com/comparisons/toshiba_portege_r700-s1330_vs_toshiba_satellite_r630-131]

  Hi snicker_1,

  There are many differences between these models and also, there are different R700 and R630 models on the market.

  In my opinion, you should check these notebooks from Toshiba Web site. There you can see what models are currently available and the configuration.

• Portege R700 - missing rubber stopper, replacements?

  Hi all

  I have a Portege R700, and the rubber plug on the lower left corner, the one nearest the suction fan broke.

  Other than aesthetics, it has consequences more serious, which impede the flow of air to the system and potentially leading to higher time and/or limitation.

  My question is, is it possible to get replacements?

  Thanks in advance

  I put t know for sure, but I think he can be replaced. The question is where you can get it.
  Try to contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they can order it for you. To be honest, I don't think you can buy it as part separately.

• Portege R700 - 19 - l - how to create a backup?

  Hello
  I just got my R700.
  According to the product description / data sheet Nero essential Backup comes for her and she was preinstalled.
  (see http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Portege-R700-19L/1093229/toshibaShop/false/)

  Since there is no DVD backup provided with the laptop, I tried to give him mine.
  But when I opened Nero BackIt and try to make an image of the HD, I get a popup telling me I have to * buy * first nero.

  I looked on the nero homepage: he states that nero essential should be able to perform backups of hard drives.
  (see http://www.nero.com/deu/backitup-and-burn-version-comparison.html).

  How can I create a backup? And how do I get NERO working properly?

  BR Wolfgang K.

  Hello

  To create a recovery disk, you use the preinstalled Toshiba tool called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator!
  This tool allows you to create a recovery disc!

  Concerning Nero:
  The preinstalled version of Nero is an indispensable suite which means that it s not complete of the product.
  Supports most Nero Multimedia suite: Nero BackUpIt 1) * backup * and 2 Auto) * synchronization *.

  The backup of files, Drive backup and image tool disk creator belongs is no not part of the essential suite nero, but it s product Nero Full.

• Portege R700 - impossible to pass to Windows 10

  I have a Portege r700 with original Windows 7 OEM installation.

  Windows 7 is updated and program update Windows upgrade me to Windows 10 offer.

  The upgrade process begins very well, download & pre-configures all the stuff, and then finally ask me to reboot the system to continue with the upgrade.

  After a few seconds, the restart process is launched and load... the current Windows 7 system, saying that there was an error during the upgrade process.

  I did some tests; I'm also a fan of Linux, so I tried to boot the system with a LiveCD of my distributions preferred: after loading of the quick menu asking what I want to do (the liveCD boot, installation, diagnose, etc), it restarts... and show me again the quick menu (quick menu is GRUB, kernel functionality has not been loaded right now).

  I understand that 'something' (and I guess it's system restore Toshiba) let me start on something other than the original partition, preventing the upgrade of Windows 10.

  Any idea?

  I was offered the free update on my R700-12U and R930-1DK Toshibas--and did the updates without any problem. However, if I understand it right, the R700 is not on the list of evolutionary units, but it has worked very well on my own, from up-to-date W7.
