• Update of disk with the Portege 2000

  First Post! I am the proud owner of gently used Portege 2000.

  Browsed the web trying to find out if the Portege 2000 will be one hard disk other than the MK2003GAH. I have a MK4004GAH, but when installed it does not seem to be detected, the BIOS reports no HDD installed. The reader might be deffective of course, but I have nothing else to connect to and of course I can't test it because it is not detected.

  In addition, the 2000 does not use standard PC100 SODIMM? When I removed the RAM cover, it does not resemble a standard SODIMM slot.

  Thank you guys

  Hello

  I no a lot of experience with this Portege, but I can just confirm that this laptop comes with 1.8 inch Toshiba MK2003GAH HARD drive. I don't really know which are hard are compatible with this model of laptop but maybe partner allowed in your country can give you precise information on this subject. They are specialized for the upgrade of the laptop.

  On the module of RAM I found information that the Portege can manage with 512 MB max and module compatible memory PC133 256 MB - PA3158U - 1 M 25.

• The Portege 2000 via PXE - LAN operating system reinstallation

  Hello again,

  So as said before I'm trying to reinstall Win XP from the recovery provided CD.
  In fact, I have 4 CD: one that contains only Windows 2000 Pro and 3 CD containing Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro. Of course, the 4 CDs were shipped with the computer.

  I tried via the floppy and CD-ROM drive that does not work (see previous section), but I also tried via PXE - LAN.
  So I installed a trial version of Windows Server 2003 in 3 months on my desktop and ran the RIS (Remote Installation Service).

  1. He accepted the CD Windows 2000 Professional as a CD of Windows Setup, but when you launch the Portege 2000, after some time, when he looks for the configuration of the computer, I get an error message that the driver for the network card is missing and it may not all go further.

  2. when I run the installation remotely with CD 1 of 3, it does not even recognize as a Windows CD of Installation!

  So, I managed to install a Win XP Family Edition that I run normally on my desktop, but I don't have any driver installed (WIFI, infrared, sound card, etc.) but also, I have only 1 license for the home edition.

  Someone at - it an idea on how to proceed with this method (I mean with the 3 CDs)?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  > Has anyone at - it an idea on how to proceed with this method - I mean with the 3 CD
  Do you mean the Toshiba recovery CD?

  I never tried to recover the image of Toshiba via RIS, but in my opinion that RIS does not recognize the 3 as a Windows CD of Installation CD1 because the recovery CD Toshiba image isn't really a Windows CD of Installation!

  The restore CD contains only the image files. To my knowledge these are ghost files

• Error IDE #0 the Portege 2000

  First of all, sorry my bad English
  I send this error a while ago, but 2 days ago, I do retest and I want to know if with this new information, anyone has any new ideas.
  I have a 1'8 "hd giving 'IDE #0 error' ' with my portege 2000 but if I put with and adapter IDE in a standard PC, it works without problem, the only thing I see strange is that in a standard PC 1'8 ' HD as a slave not appear as master, I found the documentation for this type of hard drive that shows me jumpers I should use to configure the slave mode master hd and without" riders (as I connect to my portege 2000 and my adapter) it must be master, so I think that thar "IDE #0 error" appears because than the hd (I don't know why) was detected as slave without any reason... everything has an idea...

  I have a second question, after I installed xp sp2, I have install all drivers for Toshiba but hardware/system show an exclamation (driver issue) on "diskette controller" and I try to install common modules with different version but I can not, can someone help me

  Thank you

  Hello Gleoelo

  Almost 2.5 months looking for help. This is the forum of users and chances to have a detailed response to this technical problem are not so big. Portege 2000 is portable to very sensitive design and I really don't think there are that many users have experiences with this model of laptop.

  Why don't you contact technicians. I really think you need professional help. With the installation of the OS I think you should try to install SP1 and Windows XP Home edition with SP2. After the operating system and any installation of Toshiba stuff, you can install SP2.

  Is this Portege laptop and I am sure that it was preinstalled with SP1.

• Start the Portege 2000 SD

  Anyone know if it is possible start of SD in a Portege 2000.
  I don't have a DVD USB, I don't have a USB floppy, when I want to reinstall OS I take 1'8 "hard drive and my adapter for the IDE and reinstall the SO in another computer, but it's not comfortable."

  It was fantastic if I could boot from and 2/4 GB SD memory with an iso or image and fast recovery from my computer norton portable operating system.

  Can someone help me? Thank you

  Hello

  As much as I know something like this is not possible. I'm sorry. You must use other methods for installing the OS. Copy WXP on the second partition, install it from there, and after doing this installation drivers download them all separately from Toshiba support page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

• 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. :)

• How to reset the password for starting the Portege 2000

  Hello!

  I want to reset password boot on old laptop Toshiba Portege 2000.
  (please turn on and write the password =)

  I agree with the user above; the BIOS password can be removed by Toshiba ASP in your country!

  It is a kind of security which can be removed if you are a true owner of this laptop.

  Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP to get rid of this password

• Cannot install Modem the Portege 2000

  Help! I manually installed Windows XP and now I can't install my modem on Portege 2000. What is going on?

  I had this same problem come when I installed Windows 98 on my protégé. During the installation of the operating system that you will get a yellow question mark in Device Manager when you install the modem before applying the audio driver "Reg-Files. For Windows 98, I had double click on Aliid98.reg in the folder for the audio driver on the CD T & D to add information about the modem driver. For Windows XP and Windows 2000, I think that you need to double click on Aliid.reg in the folder for the audio driver on the T & D CD to add the information to the modem driver. Let me know if it works!

• PC with Vista sp2 I can backup and reinstall on the new PC with Windows 7?

  I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and you want to back up my old PC running Windows Vista SP2. Can I do a total back up and reinstall without jeopardizing the Windows 7? Or y at - it a program that moves from programs for me, instead of a return to the top?

  Hello

  You don't give enough information:

  Read this about the legality of moving from an operating system:

  If the computer/laptop came with Windows Vista preinstalled operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  ______________________________________________

  Years although it was licensed for retail sales of a clone of Vista that you want to move in all probability if boot not that this image contains drivers for the old Vista, not the most recent motherboard on Windows 7 computer.

  And programs need to be reinstalled from the original media.

  See you soon.

• The Portege 2000 operating system installation

  I have a USB and DVD - rw USB disk and a CD-rom PCMCIA. The DVD - rw, floppy boots, boots, the PCMCIA card is not recognized. BIOS see the hard drive. WXP CD starts, but does not see the hard drive. The floppy drive starts all the o/s boot disks, but does not see the hard drive (FDISK does "No fixed disk present" or "unable to access drive 1".

  I have spent DAYS of research here and Google and tried several procedures to find. I don't have the factory restore CD, but I have XP and 2000 OEM CD (as well as others if necessary).
  Thank you for reading. ~ Adam

  Hello

  I don't have much experience with laptop computers Portege but if disk HARD includes two partitions are trying to copy CDs to facilities on the second partition. Later, you can try to start the facilities of the second partition.

  Please check carefully section Portege. There must be an interesting topic on the similar theme.

• How to reinstall delivered the software came with my laptop?

  I have a Satellite C855 - 1WT who has recently had a new hard drive installed. How to re - install the supplied software that accompanies it as video player software?

  Supplied software cannot be downloaded and installed separately. Provided software is part of the recovery image and it is included in this package.

  With other words, if you want to have this additional software again you must reinstall recovery Toshiba image again.

  Anyway, if you need video player you can use VLC Player and it's free. I also use it.

• Portege 2000 - new installation using the PCMCIA CD-ROM XP

  I try to install XP on Portege 2000 using the official PCMCIA Toshiba CD-ROM drive.

  Install the XP disk boots fine, but after that Setup copied the files it blue screen (BSOD blue). I'm not very tech savvy, but I think it means that the BIOS can 'see' the PCMCIA CD-ROM, but that the real image of XP loaded by the installation program cannot, probably due to missing drivers for the PCMCIA CD-ROM?

  Then, I thought that maybe I could use F6 to load additional drivers during the initial installation, but it is beyond me to create the right set of files required. I know that you can download the Freecom drivers, but I don't know what are the driver files from CD to use and how to create from scratch the txtsetup.oem file right.

  Does anyone know how to properly use F6 and load the drivers for it?

  I found a lot of messages suggesting I copy the installer to the HARD disk and launch the installation from there. My problem is that the XP installation is an upgrade CD, so I will ask you at a certain time to insert a previous Windows CD and if at that time there I don't have a working CD-ROM drive...

  First post on this forum so be nice - I did a search but not find a thread with a real solution, but of course if I miss a please report!

  Hello

  I managed to install Windows XP Home the Portege 2000 using the PCMCIA reader but I ve used recovery disks original Toshiba which includes the correct driver for external optical drive.

  So far I tried not to install Windows XP Home edition, using the Microsoft installation disc.

  Maybe you should get the disks of facilities and not use this upgrade disk. I think that on this path, you will be able to install WXP as suggested when you copy data from facilities at the disk directly.
  Have you tried to get the original recovery disc Toshiba WXP?

• Portege 2000 - how to install Windows XP without ODD and FDD?

  I have this Toshiba Portege 2000 old OS crashed a few days ago. This laptop is not an optical drive and a floppy drive.

  The first thing is mind is to purchase an external optical drive which I did, but it does not seem to boot from it. I have trouble to install Windows XP but nothing helped.
  Can you guys please help me?

  The last option I have in mind would be to install Windows XP on a network. The portege 2000 is able to boot from PXE, the thing is that I don't know how to do it! Can someone tell me how to boot from PXE?

  Thank you very much.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know if copy you the Windows XP CD to HARD disk and then you start from external floppy drive (it should work) you can start the installation.
  Copy the XP CD to your HARD drive with a drive enclosure external DRIVE on another computer, create a boot floppy XP and start from it.
  Go to the I386 folder and start the WINNT. EXE

  Or you use the CD/DVD drive from another computer with the netbootdisk. I found this with Google:
