• A few questions about the Portege R100 upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege R100 of America with 768 MB of RAM, 40 GB HDD, DVD-ROM on the PCMCIA card. I want to renew the Windows XP Pro Notebook by updating the material.

  -How can I update a larger HARD drive?
  -What RAM should I update?
  -Can I upgrade the processor?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  You cannot switch the processor!

  You can upgrade the HD, but because it is an interface 1.8 "HD with an ide (50 pin ATA) the best you can find is a 60 GB HD (Toshiba MK6006GAH 60 GB) you can find them on ebay for a reasonable price

  You can easily switch from memory with a module 1 GB pc2700-dimm ddr1 (like kingston or corsair) in replacement of the module of 512 MB to a maximum of 1.2 GB.

  You can buy them everywhere

  Also note:

  install XP on a R100 is not very easy, but you can find lots of information on this forum, as here:

• Update card WLAN MiniPCI on a Portege R100

  Hello

  I have a Portege R100 and want to upgrade the internal wlan card in an adapter 802.11 g.
  I ve has already searched the Internet, but has not found a fitting. Can you tell me if it s possible, and that I can use. Y at - it than not with integrated bluetooth too?
  Thank you, Florian Niedermayer

  Hello

  Your Portege is old enough laptop and designed model 4 years ago. I found some info it comes with mini-PCI adapter Intel PRO / Wireless 2100 LAN 3B. The same WLAN card is in my laptop Tecra and I am quite pleased. The download speed is not the fastest, but it works well enough and I can use Skype to talk with friends without any connectivity problem.

  In any case, to find compatible parts for older models of laptops is not so easy. If nobody here can offer accurate information, try contacting your local dealer or authorized Toshiba service. They are responsible for the hardware support and they should be able to give the right info. You may be able to use Intel WLAN 802.11 g (bis zu 54Mbps) with good old classic. I don't see another solution. If possible, try to get this card and test it. If this does not work you can send it back.

  Please let us know if the upgrade will be successful.

• Portege R100: Bluetooh/WLAN 802 .11b/g Mini pCi card Combo available

  Hello

  does anyone know of a Mini-PCI solution, which combines a b/g WLAN Card with Bluetooth which is compatible with the R100?

  My new laptop has a bluetooth connection and a nice combination of WLAN/BT integrated in the R100 would be also cool that the R100 is. There are a few Combocards on eBay that are Mini-PCi cards, but I don't know if "mini-PCI" is a standard for all Mini PCi cards adapt the R100...

  Concerning

  Christian

  Hmm, I searched a bit for some information on the Portege R100 series and it seems that BT is not available and not extensible. This would mean that there is no room for the internal minPCI BT module.

  The WiFi network is available but not BT ;(

  In my opinion, you need to use an external solution such as a stick USB BT.

• Touchpad does not work on Portege R100

  Hello

  I have recently boght a Toshiba Portege R100 without any installation CD Windows XP Home Edition worked fine but the touchpad is not.

  I installed additional drivers of Toshiba. Now, I'm able to adapt to all kinds of things about the Touchpad, but still it does not work. I was also running Knoppix 5.2 since July 2007. Same problem with Linux.

  Have I not a faulty laptop? How will I know, please?

  Have you tested the touchpad with Windows XP?
  You connected an external USB mouse and you have the same problem?

  Normally the touchpad should work without a driver, they are part of the operating system.
  You can disable/enable it with FN + F9.
  I'm not sure, but you can also enable/disable the touchpad in the BIOS.

  It could be that the touchpad is defective, but ask an ASP for help. They can check the necessary parts for laptop and Exchange.

• Portege R100 does not illuminate

  I have a portege R100, I stopped it last night with no problems, but this morning it won't turn. The power is connected and the battery light is on, but quite simply, it will not turn... Anyone have any ideas? Thank you..

  Hello

  Remove the battery, connect your portable computer to the AC adapter and try to return to work.

• Installing XP on Portege R100

  Hello.

  I'm trying to re - install Windows XP on a Portege R100. I have a CD of tools & utilities but no system recovery disk. I have a Toshiba CR ROM that connects to the laptop through a cardbus. I thought it would be a simple matter of putting my XP install disk in and boot from that. Unfortunately, he gets of how most by installing little drivers, then just at the point where it happens with Windows startup, there's the bluescreen error message blue screen following error:

  + A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  + If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps (and then continues to tell you to chkdsk/f) +.

  + Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007b (0xf897f524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) +.

  I had similar errors with other laptops by which SATA controller drivers need to be integrated into the Windows Installer disk. Is this a similar situation?

  If anyone has any ideas / suggestions, I would be very grateful.

  Kind regards

  Steve

  I saw 0x0000007B on my laptop previous installation of XP, it's a problem of HARD disk controller, usually caused when XP cannot find the correct drivers for IDE/SATA controller.

  First of all, you need to use a CD of Windows XP Service Pack 2. You can integrate SP2 into the XP CD, google search for "Integrate SP2 XP"

  I'm not familiar with this model, but you may need to use a storage F6 driver. Take a look at the Toshiba website for drivers or instructions.

• Windows XP Setup stops with "Stop 0x0000007B" on Portege R100

  I have a Portege R111, but it is the same model as R100. I am trying to install WinXp on it, with a lot of problems.
  I have no CD to recover, but as I've read, it's possible.

  I use a PCMCIA-cd/dvd player. It starts fine, but after I get a blue screen with the error "* Stop 0x0000007B."
  On the microsoft home page, I've read a lot about this
  [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324103/en]

  It seems that it is a problem with my hd, so I disassembled the 1.8 "HD and connected to my normal pc. Here, I could install WinXP without any problem.
  Then I reassembled the hd (with the top winxp system), but guess what, it doesn't. I just get get the menu in what mode I want to boot into windows (safe mode, safe mode with network,...). Whatever mode I select screen freezes after.

  I tried to run a normal linux (ram only) on it to see if that works. But it's not. The screen freezes while trying to load the kernel modules.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hi guys

  Portege R100 supports the recovery through the BIOS (by pressing 'C') with (16-bit and Cardbus) PCMCIA cards.
  Sequence of disks and controllers (PCMCIA) might work:
  (a) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with PC Card (16 bit), II cable, PCMCIA, Rev.043.242
  (b) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST with a CardBus, cable II, CARD BUS, Rev.136

  The drive used in conjunction with the PCMCIA controller is not so important due to the fact that the driver in the BIOS must allow the controller first. There is a generic CD-ROM drive implemented in the BIOS for the connected player. The "PC Card controller Mode" settings in the BIOS has been 'Automatic Selection '.
  This means that you have nothing to change in the BIOS, because it is the default value.

  It could happen, to connect the power supply in certain circumstances, for example:
  Battery is charged too less.
  The PCMCIA supplies unless energy location.
  If a player is used with a built in battery, please always connect an appropriate adapter.

• Various installation with the Portege R100 and Windows XP issues

  Hello

  I recently bought a used Portege R100. It came without OS and I wanted to install XP SP2.

  I know that restorations only work with PCMCIA readers adapted, but the HARD drive is formatted, so there is no recovery possible I guess.
  Here are my problems:
  -with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD player the Windows installation CD is recognized, and it starts to load the XP drivers until he wants to start copying files installiation--> then I get the blue screen of Windows with the error 00 x 7 (virus or driver)
  -the same thing happens with my former W2k Pro installation disc.
  -With the even more ancient W98SE, strange things are happening too: installation seems to work fine, but when it comes to start with W98SE, for the first time, the system hangs up with pixelgarbage.
  -Make the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot doesn't work anymore.
  -J' also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! It worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copy of Windows I386 folder on my hard drive with the volkov Commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So I got hav files on my drive but after running Windows NT in the i386 folder, the system hangs after some time, when it starts to copy the files to a temporary folder.

  So I tried almost everything I know. at this moment I am download knoppix to try it.

  I ran Memtest86 and 9 Diskmanager to test the RAM and HARD drive, finished two withut errors, so the priority of main parts in the installation process seems to work. Maybe it's that my IDE controller is broken?
  I have no idea, WHY does he not move windows!

  Help is hot!

  Thank you

  Christian
  Does

  It should work out that way, run you own your HD first in Fat32format - file-system, otherwise it won't work!
  Don't forget to use "smartdrive' in your BACK-commissioning, otherwise it will take a lot of time, even the 'freeze' is possible.

• How to get Bluetooth on Portege R100

  There seems to be several ways to get there, I don't know if my Portege can handle all the. Or maybe there are others. Let me know!

  1 USB key: these are ugly and large, although there will be a tiny by Mogo in June (http://www.newtonperipherals.com/Mogo_Products.htm) but I'm sure they all work on my Portege R100.

  2. a Compactflash adapter with CF-Bluetooth-slot pc card card. Also, those who do not disappear completely in the case. And they will work? What is a new technology that is not compatible?

  3. This seems to be a nice alternative: using the SD card. But as I read in this forum the R100 (larger) problems with newer SD-cards. What is it? The seller says it s compatible with most of Toshiba laptops, but I'm not sure about this.

  Or y at - it even more possibilities? Thanks for the tips!

  Only SDBT2 and SDBT3 cards work in laptops with the support of the SDIO. It seems that SDBT map you mentioned has only drivers for PDAS, but not for the laptop. Take a look at the following Web site for more details:

• Portege R100 - can I configure it to WPA/WPA2?

  My Portege R100 is an Intel (r) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter, which is configurable for WEP only. Can someone tell me if I can improve it so that it is configurable for WPA/WPA2, please?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I checked the specifications of this WLAN card on the Intel site and it seems that this cap card WLAN key be configured for WPA.

  In any case, is that you've updated the driver for the WIRELESS network and the BIOS card? Two updates that you can find on the Toshiba site.

  Hello

  Try to remove the USB entries in Device Manager, and then restart the device. The ports should be recognized and installed correctly. In my view, it cannot happen without any reason. It will be interesting to know since when this problem started.

• Problem of Eve Portege R100

  Dear friends,
  I have a problem with my newly purchased Portege R100. When I try to switch (or in hibernation mode, in fact), it starts the process and then stops and displays an error message saying that it is in conflict with the keyboard player and I might need to update this.
  Of course when I try to update, it shows not any update for the keyboard drivers.
  I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem and how you solved it.

  Thank you
  Riccardo

  Hi Riccardo

  As far as I know, this problem may occur if you use the external keyboard because for now what laptop enters standby or hibernation to stop all active processes. Now there may be some conflicts because many programs or processes can make the problems by putting off circuit.

  The external keyboard?
