• IBM travelstar external USB compatibility with Portege 3480CT

  Hello
  I try to use an IBM & reg travelstar in a box external usb with my Portege 3480CT running Windows 2000 (with sp4). While the disc is recognized as plug-and-play on other computers running win2k and winXP, is not recognized on my Portege, which gives an error message suggests that the drivers are missing.

  According to IBM/hitachi (which make the player), no drivers are needed and the drive should work as plug-and-play, recognized as a generic USB HDD. This happens all other computers I've tried.

  Are their compatibility problems with this drive? Or are their special all the drivers necessary to recognize this configuration on the Portege?
  Thank you

  Hello

  AFAIK there is no driver required for external hard drives and they are recognized as plug-and-play. Your Portege is an old unit and there may be a problem with the USB ports. Have you checked the other USB devices?

  It is also possible that there is not enough power, and in this case, it is recommended to connect the drive using USB hub with own power supply.

  Good bye

• Compatible hard drives for Portege 3480CT

  Hello

  I have a Portege 3480CT and I need to replace its 12 GB (IBM & reg Travelstar) drive hard internal since the former on a developed bad blocks. Now, I assumed that it would be relatively simple, but I was wrong.

  In any case, I got a replacement 2.5 "HD (this time a Hitachi Travelstar, 20 GB drive), but I couldn't make it work. I ran the program from IBM/Hitachi diagnosis and while the old 12 GB HDD is detected and removed ok, the 20 GB does not even get detected (i.e., seems that nothing is on the line of the IDE).

  It was suggested to me by IBM and Hitachi that there is a list of compatibility to their hard drives, and may not be supported (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/compatibility.htm), but I could not find my disc on their list (model is HTS424020M9AT00). Basically, what I want to know is what drives * are * compatible or what my problem with the laptop is otherwise.

  For more info, when I try to install Win2k, I get an ArcRead failure, probably because he thinks that the drive does not exist.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I guess that there is problem with drive HARD and false parameter who decide if the HARD drive is the master or slave.

  In my opinion you should contact the Service partner to ask them which HDD is suitable for your device. You can also check on the net and picking up some information because there are a lot of different suppliers where you can buy the HARD drive. I also found information that it is possible to use the 40 GB HARD drive for your unit, but it must be built in by seller.

• Portege 3480CT: Multimedia - need a player software Replicator

  I have a Toshiba Portege 3480CT with an external media Port Replicator. I recently loaded Windows XP but do not have the DVD player software. Can someone tell me how to find the appropriate download?

  Hello

  You can use the playback software DVD evry you can find on the market. It should not be used Toshiba one (WinDVD if you think about this one).

  Google a bit and you will find a large number of them. My favorite is the Power DVD Deluxe software. InterVideo WinDVD is a part of the recovery under Win XP OS image, but you can download it from the net http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/Product_Download.jsp?p=WinDVD

• HD in Portege 3480CT upgrade

  I have a portege 3480CT with disc 12gig running W2k
  I run the latest version of the bios 1.4
  tried to install mk1031gas 100 GB toshiba drive but get INACCESSIBLE by CAR
  The drive works fine in a desktop pc
  It OF too big to run on this machine?
  IF this is NOT the case, how can I make it work?

  Hello

  I'm sure that the HARD drive is too big for this machine. Maybe your Portege works correctly with 20 GB but 100 GB, too. Sorry, but I think there is no way to make it work.

• Cannot install W2K on Portege 3480CT

  On eBay, I bought a Portege 3480CT use it as a good machine to create texts out of office. But now I can not install W2K on it.

  It has an external CD drive and does not install: w2k, Linux, W98 (original)... for my favorite W2K, it says: "could not find NTLDR" (w2k) and: "media entfernen - neustart: taste druecken;

  There is no other boot device, no other disc in any location... the disc is my original one, the boot device is passed to 'boot from CD' - the system is used for W2K (there a sticker on the back, which gives me this information).

  and now I'm at the point, I have no idea how to continue.

  Is it possible to make it work again?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  If a "NTLDR is missing" message that this indicates that the disk is not bootable.
  Many times this is caused when the computer tries to boot from the CD-ROM or a diskette not bootable.
  In this forum, many users wanted to install the W2K on this laptop.
  First of all, you need a bootable disc.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=7187&MessageID=24896

  If you want to boot from the CD of Win98, you must first create a companion disk. See the page of the Toshiba driver for companion disk files.

  Please also see this site. Maybe this helps:

• I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP. After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.

  Problem reinstalling Windows XP

  I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP.  After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.  He goes back and reinstall Windows again.  I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?

  Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.

  Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

• PROBLEM REINSTALLING ACROBAT PRO XI for disable

  PROBLEM REINSTALLING ACROBAT PRO XI and BRIDGE

  I bought a new Macbook Pro. In the process of migration of files from my previous laptop age of six year, I made the mistake of uninstalling my Adobe CC applications without first disable each one. (I must add that I have CC on another computer at home. I know that the problem of three computers with CC apps, I try to have only two. My old laptop is removed.)

  Troubleshooting call to reinstall, disable and uninstall again.

  When I uninstalled Acrobat Pro XI, it has disappeared from my computer. However, trying to reinstall, Adobe Application Manager says acrobat's "up-to-date". I saw no way to reinstall. So, I copied the XI Acrobat Pro to my other computer and it drags on my old laptop, hoping she work long enough to reinstall and turn off. PDF opens briefly, but I get an error 'Problem of Configuration, error 1', and then it closes.

  Regarding the bridge, the said Application Manager is up-to-date, but trying to reinstall in order to turn off, I get an error that my (10.6.8) operating system on the old laptop is too old to reinstall bridge CC.

  Can you help me to solve these two problems, so that I can get with the help of my applications Adobe CC on my new computer laptop?

  Thank you in advance,

  David Alcorn

  with a subscription to cc you are allowed installation on an unlimited number of computers.

  However, you can only sign on, at most, two computers at the time and you must be logged in opening programs cc.  already open programs seem to work perfectly, even on a 3rd computer but I have not tested who carefully and I rarely do it (by mistake).

  and you do not enable the programs of cc.  you connect.

  you disable programs cc.  you disconnect.

  and xi acrobat could come from your subscription of cc, but that is not the last acrobat and makes me wonder if you have a perpetual license, cc subscription or both.
