Question about Portege 2000 boot with Linux

Hello world

My Portege 2000 PIII 750 MHz, 512 RAM, 20 GB is just driving me crazy. I would try to install Linux and downloaded some distributions to try it. By the way, I use an external CD/DVD player, with a 16-bit pc card connector cable. Starts the startup until the BIOS is involved, but when it gets to the pilots being involved, start crashes, with each distribution, except of course to win XP, with which he moved perfectly.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I would really like something lighter than Windows XP Home edition on my machine. THX!

Hello

I do not have this Portege, but I know that the recovery Toshiba (WXP) image contains the external driver for ODD and installation can be done without any problem.

  • Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

    I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
    I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

    However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
    Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

    Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
    Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

    I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

    If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
    http://wubi-Installer.org/
    It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

  • Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8

    Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

    Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.

    I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
    -Disable secure boot
    -Change UEFI CSM support
    -Save

    On reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:

    «This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)

    Realtek...

    PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
    PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
    "No boot device - insert boot and press a key.

    I can't open the Bios again at F2.

    Which I recover the system?

    Hello

    The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

    Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

    That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
    But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

    If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
    Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

    Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
    Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
    Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

    Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

  • Portege Z930 - boot with Dynadock docking station problem

    Hello!

    I wonder if anyone here can help.
    It seems impossible to start than my Z930 with the Dynadock (U3.0) attached to it.
    All I get is a blank screen - casting in and external screens are dead.
    Disconnect the Dynadock at this stage has no effect. I have the hard reset of the laptop.

    If I start the Z930 without the Dynadock attached I have no problem - and then I can join the Dynadock and all work just fine.

    So, it is right at boot.

    All the drivers are up to date.

    Is it the way it is supposed to work? Really? Seriously?

    Alex

    Dynadock is designed to work with laptop and this question should not happen.
    Can you please tell us a little more about your laptop?
    Do you use your Portege with factory settings (original preinstalled OS)?
    Which driver Dynadok do you use?
    I assume that in the beginning, everything was OK. Have you noticed this problem a few days later?
    Tell us a little more on the whole issue.

  • Question about particular processor working with my PC.

    Basically, I have a 1200-07w eMachines and I'm sure that a particular processor will work with my pc but I wanted to check before I bought it. The I am wanting to upgrade to the processor is an AMD Athlon 64 X 2-5050. I know Athlon X 2 works, but I wanted to make sure that the Athlon 64 X 2 is compatible as well.

    Thank you

    It would be better to check with eMachines Support technique http://emachines.com/support/options.html where they know their systems better than we do and should be able to answer your question.  We have no information on what components go into what systems so we can really help you.  The best that we can do is refer you to the center of Vista compatibility where this component may or may not be listed:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/ (I checked but couldn't find) but that would be only you say about compatibility with your version of Vista (if it is listed) - not if it will work with your machine - and you should take note that using the wrong processor can cause damage to both it and the motherboard and other features as well - so maybe SOME before you install.

    I hope this helps.

  • Dell XPS630i boots with linux fix not XP or XPinstall or OEMinstall

    [first of all, sorry if this ends up the double post, gui posted in the wrong forum]

    a virus then another then 2 bad sectors on the startup disk.

    new 3rd party raid1 with 2 new drives from Samsung

    Installed XPsp3 and the system worked

    next start gave no windows/system32/config/system

    can use partedmagic and show everything except the boot drive, I could earlier.

    I had been preparing make the copy overs up to the failure.

    Have run some tests on memory to no information.

    Pulled the memory removal and spot replaced to check.

    removed 3rd party raid installation and used on board Nvidia.

    [this require a pilot custom start?]

    Now cannot boot from a hard drive or raid, the first-reinstalle XP prior to purchase of raid, gives no hal.dll error which I did not yet have time to correct.

    Another gets in, select boot, F12, disk boots, on adfinitum.  Cannot make sure, only in F12 menu and see and start the FD, USB, disc and HD without result, and enter the Bios.

    I put the BIOS back to default and tried a raid not HD, then added raid and tried the Raid1.

    If I put a blank formatted disk and try to boot from the installation discs, always impossible to get anything to boot.

    Install disks make through the support of the Executive, and then restart the startup so that I can't start XP OEM or XPsp2 to attempt a repair.

    Yet once parted works very well and can do a lot of utilities and everything seems to check out.

    Is my next step to format the partition and try to reload the RAID1 again?  Oh it's true, nothing starts.

    Somewhere along the way he also reported well being in good health and have a glitch.  It does not now rise in Parted.

    It's pay back me to the years of no viruses to be attentive and no disaster to stay in front.

    Please help.  TIA!

    Hello

    If you are unable to start on different known good hard drives once you have formatted the drive completely, then, it might be a problem with the cable or the motherboard.

    The user can contact its manufacturer support.

  • Question about Windows MultiPoint Server with VNC

    Hello

    I work in a research laboratory and our scientists are running a large number of simulations with MATLAB image processing.  What we all buy a computer powerful user and set up so that, up to 3-4 users remote access to the computer at any time and perform simulations using shared resources, but without interfering with each and other sessions.  I wanted to just make sure that it was feasible and iron how to put in place.  I'm guessing that I install Windows MultiPoint Server on the computer, create 3 or 4 log on bodies or users with unique IPs, install MATLAB and a VNC client for each instance, and then users would be able to connect on every instance, as if they were independent computers? Finally, it is possible for Windows automatically allocate users remote instances not used - for example, if I try to connect to an instance, Windows Me automatically assigns to the next instance of free?

  • Question about scanning of photos with Windows Photo Gallery.

    I'm trying to scan photos with Windows Photo Gallery.  When I scan, it is not scanner full size. It gives me just a small photo to work. It does not give me an option to choose "paper format" which seems like it should solve my problem.  Help!

    I was wondering... What are the dimensions in pixels of the scans? I think it would help if you increase the DPI of your scans to 600 300 or even... look for the custom settings button.

    Also... If the scan bed (large white area) is included in any of your scans... try to get a glimpse and you will have an option to drag a rectangle around the exact part of the photo you want to include in your analysis.

  • Question about several popular vm with the same kernel version

    So, I have been informed that ESX is smart enough for to run several virtual machines with the exact same kernel that it loads only one instance of the kernel in memory for all of them so that it saves space in RAM. This seems quite remarkable to me, and I'd like to see if VMWare has any white papers or other documents on this. I'd like to believe it's true, but it seems incredible to believe.

    Is this really how ESX functions? If I have 10 XP SP3 machines with the same level and exact same version of the kernel patch, VMWware won't really load only one instance of the core XP in RAM to separate the 10 machines? If he does that, how handles when 10 machines all want access to the same statement in kernel mode at the same time separate?

    Welcoem to the Forums - ESX will actually 10 instances of the core of the customer even if they are the same OS - but once loaded using Transparent Page Sharing the vmkernel (the o/s of the ESX Server) can recognize identical pages and store them a time-read only memory - if the virtual machine tries to write to that page a copy and writing is done - if this new page is another page in memory that one instance is maintained. This saves a TON of memory-

  • Question about localization of CHM with RH7

    Hello world
    I am a user of long date HR (since 1997), currently on the X 5 and research in Version 7 of its localization features. X 5 uses a .lng file to customize Viewer HTMLHelp interface. Supports for the .lng files continue in v7? These .lng files works for the Chinese and the Japanese too?

    (Of course that I could download the trial and see, but I've read the threads "heads-up" on not to do it unless of course you are going to be upgraded.) So err on the side of caution and not yet get the trial.)

    Thank you!

    First report of the 'good news': the trial of RH7 coexists peacefully with my X 5. Can I have both open at the same time, if necessary - X 5 for the production of works and 7 for the test.

    Second point of "good news":
    I am happy to find that RH7 has maintained the use of the .lng file to customize Viewer HTMLHelp interface. (Something that the competitor Flare can't do, btw.) And a long list of additional languages (including Chinese and Japanese, I need) has been added as well. RH7 includes the previously translated .lng files. no need to send out the terms to your translation service. Just go to file > project settings and select the appropriate language, and then click the Advanced button. The .lng file is opened; Click OK and it is added as a background element to your project. * This is the same that it worked in X 5, just with more languages now! :)

    When compiling, the CHM Viewer is supposed to be located. The only problem (Report of RH X 5) is that Windows native language is necessary to really see the locations in the CHM Viewer. Maybe our translation service people have no English versions of Windows and would be able to test these localized CHMS for me.

    It is enough information but, for me, to say my purchase decision management: I need RH7 and not 'competitor '! ;)
