Hello

I checked the support Toshiba in http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page and I found the drivers of Windows XP Home edition, tools and utilities for Windows XP Home for your Portege R700 (PT311E) so you should be able to install Windows XP on this laptop Portege home edition.

If you need more assistance you are welcome.

    As a upgrade middle-of-the-night involuntary Windows 10 occurred, Can not stop random reboots every 20 to 45 minutes.  I give up.  I know that there is an opportunity (allegedly) to downgrade to Windows 7 in the first 30 days, but I wanted to make sure that no quirks to do with my fairly old machine.  I find Windows.old on my hard drive and my external hard drive.

    Everyone does this on a Pavilion P6520F or equivalent and advice?

    Hello @marionhouse,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post about the issue of upgrade and wanted to help you!  I understand that the office restarts every 20-45 minutes, and you are looking to downgrade back to the Windows 7 operating system.

    If you decide to stay with Windows 10, you can try to solve the problem of reset, by examining the following document:

    HP computers - the computer restarts unexpectedly (Windows 7)

    If you're still having problems, then you should be able to use back to a previous generation option, in your system settings: HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10

    As you say, this feature is only available for the first 28 days after the installation of Windows 10.  Once you return to your original operating system, check to see if you encounter the same problem.

  • Portege R700-17Z - Linux Mint suspend related questions

    Hello. I've been running Linux (Mint 12, 64) successfully on the cell above. Only nagging problem, is that the brightness adjustment does not work once the machine went to suspend and vice versa. He also seems to be a problem related to hang with one of the USB ports.

    I hope that an update of the BIOS to 2.20 could improve things. T it?
    I found two versions of the BIOS. There is a stand alone ISO dated Jan 2012 you can be burned on a CD and the computer restarts from there. However, the README file. TXT, said

    ACPI BIOS Flash version 2.20 for Portege R700/R705 (* PT310U/PT311U/PT314U *)

    Does anyone know if it is safe and if it works the upgrade to this BIOS that does not seem to include PT310E? ("E" stands for Europe and "U" for the United States?)

    Second option is to try to http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20120207132338.zip whose support site allows in what concerns the P310E. I have to install Windoze 7 on another drive hard (I deleted it from my drive) and run this update of windows (I think it's necessary).

    Any ideas, I would be grateful...

    Hello Velastin

    As you probably know Toshiba doesn't support Linux and all updates, including updates to the BIOS, are offered for better functionality with operating system Windows. To be honest I have don t think that this update of the BIOS can help you, in your ad, the issues described.

    Have you tried to exchange their experiences on some Linux specific forum.

  • Setup windows XP on Portege 2000, with no external drives

    I recently I've been the proud owner of a Portege 2000 that was given to me for free (?) of a member of the family who do not use it.

    When I was first, I felt impressed! Its so light and so beautiful.
    It came with Windows 2000, which crashed after some time (one day only). So I decided to install windows Xp on it. But the portege has no external media player, which can be accessed via the bios, as I conclude after reading several threads on this forum. After windows 2000 has crashed I knew that the hard drive may have some problems, but I decided that before I I buy new 1.8 "(very expensive) Player, I would try to install a fresh copy of windows XP os. So I bought a 1.8 "adapter IDE hard drive to connect it to my office. This thing works great as I can see the drive and also copy the files on it.

    But the problem for me, it of how to install XP on the drive and then plug it into the portege and do work.

    I tried to install windows via the desktop PC, and then after removing all the drivers in the Device Manager console, I re - install on the portege. All I get is a gray bar that fills up on a black screen and then more nothing...

    I tried to start it in safe mode but after it loads some files it just stuck. I though maybe if I did a different desktop installation there would be no problem, so I installed XP on all the computers availiable from desktop to me (core 2 duo, Opteron and athlon XP-socket A) with the same exact results.

    Is there a way to make the toshiba 1.8 "bootable disc through the desktop computer and also include the installation of XP on the same drive of windows files?
    What I mean is if its possible to emulate a floppy and access command prompts, while having windows XP on the same hard drive?

    If this isn't the case, you have any suggestions on this subject? Any idea will be welcome I've tried to find a way for about a month now...

    I read somewhere in this forum that you can install XP via lan, but I don't really know how to do this.

    PS It would be possible for anyone to find an installation of windows xp for portege 2000 as a ghost image that I can load into the reader through the Office?

    Thank you in advance and please help me...

    Hmm, good explanation. I think he'll appreciate this detailed version. :)

  • Portege R700 - need drivers for Windows 7 32 bit

    Hello

    I got the new R700 I develop a version of Windows 7 Enterprise for and I can't find the driver files or install correct programs for the 32-bit version of the TOSHIBA fingerprint utility. I found the download for the R700 on the US site, and while this installs, it doesn't have the 32-bit driver for fingerprint reader in the R700. Can someone direct me to the correct download, or display the x 86 download the site of NZ?

    BTW - the x 64 download works fine if I install Windows 7 Ent x 64 and install it.

    Model number = PT311A-00J00Q
    Component = AES1660 authentic Tec Inc.
    PCI device ID = USB\VID_08FF & PID_168B

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Usually, your exact model number is listed in the Australian page it seems you have an Australian model:
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au

    The problem is that I can t find any 32-bit drivers it :(

    So I checked the European page where I found a similar model, PT311E. There you can download Fingerprint Utility for Windows 7 32 bit, it s is available!

  • Portege R700 - no autorun for CD/DVD and USB keys

    In my Portege R700 there is no way to make autorun works (for key USB and CD/DVD as well). CD/DVD and USB keys work perfectely, but not the autorun.

    I tried to use both the automatic repair of Microsoft and PowerToys, but the problem that it is still there. I also tried to change the registry, but it seems that the changes are not retained. I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.
    Gerlando

    Hey,.

    > I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
    What utilities you have installed? Theoretically, they could block the autorun

    Normally if autorun doesn t work on XP, you can enable it in the Windows registry:
    Start > run > regedit

    The registry editor will open and go to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / policies / Explorer
    Double-click the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and set the value of 91.

    Now he must navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / Cdrom

    Double-click the AutoRun value and set the value to 1.

    Now restart your computer and try it again, usually autorun should work again.
    Additionally, make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed for XP (SP3).

  • Portege R700 - upgrade Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit and memory question

    I recently bought Portge R700 and am disappointed by the memory. I have a license of Windows 7 64-bit edition: what problems can arise if I update? Once installed, I can then use 8 MB of RAM.

    Moreover, I found the reagrding misleading Web site the option of using the 8 MB of RAM with the32-bit OS. I have 4Mb installed, years to see that only 2.86 MB is usable.

    I get "out of memory" messages and would like to know how to allocate more memory to live for video.

    Tom's right. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do clean install operating system. All drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one.
    If you need assistance with installing Win7 let us know.

    I put t know for what purposes do you use your laptop and what applications are important for your daily work, but, in general, I don t think you will have problems using 64 bit OS. Please keep in mind that all additional software is 64-bit capable and everything will be OK.

    As far as I know laptop user doesn't have the influence of the use of video memory and it runs automatically. It is unclear to me that you can change these settings and set how much RAM can be used for video operations.

    Anyway, Portege R700 is nice for laptop with sufficient power for daily use and also for use with standard applications. I don t think you ve bought this laptop for games.

  • Portege R700 - install Windows 7 via Windows Deployment Services - error

    Hello

    I have a set of 8 Portege R700 PT310-E computer laptop on which I need to install Windows 7 Professional. I want to do this by using our company Windows deployment server (using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 to generate the image). While it is loading all software, our company uses.

    I have been using the version 32 bit Windows 7 and do a PXE boot from the server. The problem I encountered is that when the laptop starts the installation of the server image. It loads successfully, but does not because it can't find the network device.

    What I find strange that I loaded all R700 network drivers in the boot.wim file. I also tried to download all Windows 7 Pro LAN drivers remaining on the Intel site and load those as well as the pilot on the Toshiba site, but it has also generated the same error.

    Someone at - it experience to install via WDS on the R700 model? Is there a fix for this, because we are very impressed by these laptops, but being only unable to install via WDS is more annoying.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Kind regards

  • Portege R700, Windows 7, mounted sudden fan/cpu, freeze and force stop

    Hello

    I have a persistent problem that starts to become annoying... Portege 700 running Windows 7. Normal use (office, WMP, IE anything heavy)

    No apparent reason (no new requests started for example), there is a sudden increase in the speed of the fan which should be max (looks it takes off) and I suspect use of the processor at the same time. And it's that it's not simply to stop (I left for awhile on occasion) and does not match an input (keyboard or mouse). The only 'solution' is to use the power button to force a shutdown. (And then I lose all cookies etc. when starting again).

    I did a lot of Googling on that. Thought it was WMP network sharing Service and has taken measures to see, but have recently disabled that service and still the problem occurs... (I checked that it is always disabled when just rebooted).

    I keep as 'clean' as I can (have AV installed, use ccleaner regularly etc etc) so would be surprised if a virus/worm, but am running a scan again just in case...

    This happens quite often be a pain - and I have no idea what is the cause, if any ideas gratefully received.

    Thanks in advance.

    Tim

    Hello

    I m no owner on the site Web of Toshiba Portege R700 but I found an article that describes EXACTLTY the same problem. High activity of its use and CPU fan, then it freezes :(
    Here is the link to this article:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0C032L0000R01.htm

    As you can see, update the fingerprint software could help get rid you of this problem. :)

  • Can I order the disk for Portege R400 XP downgrade

    Is it possible to order XP downgrade disk for Portege R400?

    Hello

    I doubt that this is possible.
    Your Portege R400 was delivered with preinstalled Vista. Am I wrong?

    Well, as far as I know there is only one image of Toshiba for this model of laptop and it s only a VISTA 32 bit ULTIMATE.

    But of course, you could install the Win XP clean using the MS Windows XP disc.
    There is just one small problem; Win XP drivers are not released for the Portege R400 model. I didn t find on the European driver Toshiba page.

    So, you have to collect the drivers with your own hands

    See you soon
