• Portege Z930 - Downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

  I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.
  But later, I deleted all partitions on my HARD drive in order to have a primary partition where to install my old Win7.

  However I can't do!

  Now I have 1 GB 119.1 unallocated space and there is no way to create a new partition from it.
  Also when I try to install Win7 it says the disc's style GPT.

  I also tried to convert it from the command prompt, but it does not work.

  You guys have any ideas what to do?

• Portege Z930 - 12 H - update of the BIOS and McAfee Endpoint Encryption?

  The update to the latest BIOS (Ver.6.70) for my laptop Portege Z930 12 H comes with the warning:

  «If you use the BitLocker Windows Drive encryption, please temporarily suspend (or turn off) before BitLocker Drive Encryption updated BIOS.»

  The same caveat applies to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which is used on my laptop and I can * not * pause or stop? Or can I apply the upgrade of the BIOS safely?

  Thank you.

  As much I know Bitlocker isn't related to Antivirus from McAfee software and two security tools are not connected to each other. BitLocker is a tool for Microsoft Windows and McAfee is a 3rd party software preinstallation on the device.

  I found a nice how doc on the update of the BIOS.

• Portege Z930: The update of the BIOS with LINUX/UNIX OS

  Hello.

  I manage a COMPUTER company, and some of our facilities are portege z930.

  We use Linux as main OS, and in order to use all the disk space, we erased the Windows partition.

  How can I update the BIOS of a Linux operating system? I asked a support company official technichal, and they told me that they use a special live linux CD managed by Toshiba.

  I don't know if I can get this cd somehow live. If this isn't the case, I would like to know how to upgrade our Bios without having to reinstall the Windows operating system.

  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I know on the download page of the BIOS that Toshiba offers the Windows version only. Of way General Linux is not supported.
  Try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Maybe they can get this special CD.

  By the way: why you didn t prepared machine (BIOS update) before starting to install Linux?

  In this case the EPROM has to be reflashed once more using crisis disk BIOS.
  Usually this must be done by authorized maker Toshiba. But of course this will be possible only if the EPROM module has not been too bad.

  What to say: try procedure (link above) posted by Bob. In which case it will not work, ASP is your next contact point.

  Good luck

• Portege Z930-146: BSOD running Win 7 64 bit - support pointers and advice

  Hello

  First post following the latter (academia / business) purchase of a Portege Z930-146 (serial number XC141056H, short PT235E part number).

  Configured the pre-installation software 64 - bit W7, local installed, delivery to the primary user (the boss).

  User reports 3 BSOD in a few days - I have the mini-decharges and made first order analysis using blue-screen display:

  PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA (ntoskrnl.exe)
  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (dxgkrnl.exe)
  MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (ntoskrnl.exe)

  We really are the guys from UNIX, so it is not familiar territory.

  I just updated the BIOS but now have a long (50 +) list of possible drivers also be updated. One at a time to download and install?

  I ran the diagnostics memory and disk - without errors or warnings that are reported.

  Can someone identify a likely problem, or direct me gently in the direction of the road to official support of Toshiba please or suggest next steps?

  Thank you in advance,

  GLM

  Ntoskrnl.exe is a Microsoft kernel boot and the dxgkrnl.exe seems to have something to do with the chart.

  I recommend to check if the update of the display driver would improve the performance of the system.
  Then visit the Toshiba UE driver page, select the Satellite Z930 PT235E and download the latest display driver Intel.
  Z930-146 was equipped with chip Intel HD Graphics 4000, so you need the Intel driver.

  You can also try to download the driver directly from the Intel page since they always provide the latest version.

• Portege Z930 cannot start with installed RAM module

  My laptop Toshiba Portege Z930-108 has stopped booting with any module of RAM installed in the support.

  If I remove RAM module, laptop computer starts and works fine, but if I install any module of RAM (4 GB 1600 original or a new 4 1600 CL9 or 1600 8 CL11) the computer cannot start.

  The screen stays black and power led flashing two green and two orange and a few seconds later, 3G indicator also on blue.

  This is the only problem I have with this computer, but it's strange.

  I updated the BIOS to the latest version and the problem is not resolved.

  I tried to reset the hardware (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3B03J90000R01.htm), also I tried to reset the equipment with power button 30 seconds without battery but button without success.

  Any idea on this problem of strage?

  Kind regards
  Lito.

  I guess you used bad RAM or not fully compatible modules.
  It's the only plausible explanation.

  I recommend you to order the RAM modules recommended by Toshiba that are:

  4 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M4G

  2 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M2G

• Portege Z930: How to install Win 7 after the installation of Win 8

  Hallo!

  There are a few weeks upgraded Toshiba Portege Z930 to Windows 8. Before the upgrade made the backup of Windows 7 on USB flash and it worked. Now recovering Win8 to Win7... Recovery starts fine - choose 'out of box' recovery and get ERROR 05-0172-0001.

  How to return to Windows 7?

  Hello

  I guess that your BIOS contains the option to switch between the UEFI and BIOS of the CSM.
  It must therefore return to the CSM BIOS and must disable secure boot if it has been previously activated.

  Then you can reinstall Win 7

• Portege M100 BIOS supports more than 128 GB of HARD drive?

  subj

  Portege m100 BIOS does support HDD > 128 (137) Go?

  What IDE controller has been integrated?
  You could install a tool of diagnosis of equipment as Everest home edition and could check your hardware specifications.

  But I guess the protégé M100 supports South Bridge Intel ICH4 - M and the IDE controller must support the Ultra ATA 100/66/33

  However, you must still install these diagnostic tools to ensure a what IDE controller has been installed.

  The fact is that since ATA - 6 (also known as Ultra DMA/100, Ultra DMA 5 or Ultra-ATA100 mode) the 48-bit LBA is supported which allows to use more large 128 GB drives

• Adding additional partition D for Portege Z930 with that 256SSD

  I just got a new portege Z930 i7 with 256 ssd and Win7 pro 64. It starts with 4 partitions already installed.1.46Gb recovery, 217 GB C, 8 GB hibernation and a 11.9 primary with the only option to remove.

  I can shrink the C drive to 110 GB offering 110 GB unallocated. But if I try to format the unallocated space it tells me that this will change to dynamic disks and there is not enough space.
  I have a D drive for the data. How to do this?

  I recommend to use the 3rd party software called * Gparted.*
  It of based on the system Linux and you could create bootable USB flash memory stick containing Gparted tool.

  It is great for partition management.

• Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after upgrade to win 8 - can't turn WiFi switch

  After several months waiting for my hour I just began my Portege Z930 - 11G for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

  To a large extent, it went to the plan except that, after execution to display the Assistant Toshiba Upgrade I lost the Fn key and about half of the keys no longer seem to work at all.

  The only key I've ever used on a routine basis is the Fn + F8 option to activate the power switch WiFi.

  So now, I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.

  It must, surely, that there be a way to do it, but I'm not. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now because I have a local cable system in the House, but once I get out on the road I will fight without WiFi.

  Before running the wizard upgrade of the Fn key grew up the key appear in the upper part of the screen and I want to surely I had turned on WiFi right here.

  The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the possibility to do anything else than to disable five notifications screen for keyboard backlighting, power plan, touch pad and cursor overlay digital overlay.

  Any help gratefully received.

  Andrew

  > So now I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.
  First of all, you can enable and disable the WiFi using the function key, but you can also activate the WLan settings of Windows 8
  Key Win + C-> settings-> change PC settings-> wireless

  Now, you can use the cursor to wireless devices to enable or disable the WiFi network.

  But to get the FN button work you need to install the + Toshiba function key + Utility for win 8 and + Toshiba system driver + to win 8

  > but with no cd player, how do I install Windows 8 on the disks?
  You can use an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from disks to win 8.

  Or you try to install the 8 Win using a flash USB memory sik.
  But in order to install the memory flash USB one Win 8 Win 8 ISO (image) files is necessary.
  In addition, you will need to create a bootable USB. You can do this by using the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool

  I recommend using google for more details
