Setup windows XP on Portege 2000, with no external drives

• Reinstalling OS the Portege 2000 with IDE CD-ROMs

  Hello

  Recently, I got my father a Portege 2000 (purchased at the Japan if it makes a difference) on which I am trying to reinstall Win XP from the provided recovery CD (there are 3 CD containing Windows XP Pro and Win 2000).

  "I'm doing it with a USB FDD and Sony CRX75A CD-Rom PCMCIA that connects to the computer via a different manufacture PC Card ACR - A01 switchable between 16-bit and CardBus mode.)

  As I'm not very familiar with BACK, CardBus and start-up stuff, I read a lot of topics and found the following application, BootdiskP2000.EXE that contains drivers for PCMCIA and USB Toshiba CD-ROM cards. Then I ran and when the choice of CD PCMCIA external drive in the menu, I got the following:

  PC Card driver for external Rev:2203 of the ATAPI-IDE drives
  PCCARD found: IO DATA CBIDE2 V4.1
  ERROR: There is no PCCARD in socket A and B!
  PCCARD not initialized!

  So I searched the web for pilots BACK my ACR - A01 and found DUAOTA16. SYS and DUOATACD. SYS. Then, I changed my CONFIG. SYS (even when perhaps not properly as I'm not comfortable with it) by the addition of a menuitem and further:

  [SONY]
  DEVICE = A:\DUOATA16. SYS
  DEVICE = A:\DUOATACD. SYS D:TOSCD001
  When it works, I get the following:
  DuoATA16 CS Client Driver Version 1.01
  Copyright...
  CBIDE2: Not found CardServices.
  Driver is not installed.
  DuoATACD CD-ROM Driver Version 1.06
  Copyright...
  IDECD: No CBIDE2 card configuration.
  CD drive is not installed.

  If having a glance at HISTORY. TXT file from the startup disk, at the end it says: "If you use it with other CD-ROM, you must modify/change normally the driver CD-ROM (for example Toscdrom.sys - file!). and the driver, on which you have access to the card PCMCIA (Fcatapi.sys and FCPoint.exe). "but I have no idea with what I would have to replace it.

  Last point, my BIOS settings on page 2 are: device Config. = all devices that allows me to set the PC CARD controller Mode = CardBus/16-bit and by the way the CD manufacturing onther used to work fine with the Portege but with a Win XP driver.

  Someone has an idea of what's going on here, because I'm confused. Thank you very much!!!

  PS I also tried to boot using PXE - LAN to a PC running Win Server 2003 but that doesn't work either, but I'm going to start a new topic for it.

  And why Don t you try maybe a USB-DVD-ROM? A USB key will be recognized for sure. I installed a XP Pro with a USB-DVD-ROM on my Portege R200.

  First I have to ask you something. Have you had problems with the Wi - Fi? The driver that you can find on the CD tools & utilities is the right one.

• Clean install of Windows 7 - partitioning and formatting with a new drive

  I tried two installs with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  The first is a straight out of the box and installed in a laptop SATA drive.  Windows 7 has created two partitions, a small partition of specific recovery and system information, and another large partition to install Windows 7 software.  It is very good.

  Then I tried a new installation formattiing the reader as one big partition.  Windows 7 does not divide the disk into two partitions, only one on which the software of Windows 7 has been installed.

  The question: how it installs a Windows 7 for the two partitions on a formatted drive?  Delete the existing partition and then start installation?

  Hello Askit,

  When you install Windows 7, the installation program will by default create a partition of 100 MB with the Windows partition system. The system partition is created to meet a requirement of Bitlocker startup files and Windows files are found on separate partitions.

  When boot you from the DVD to perform a clean installation of Windows 7, the installation program will create the 100 MB system partition in the following conditions:

  • There is not a partition system on the machine
  • The system does not have 3 existing partitions
  • There is space on the disk for the extra partition

  In response to your question, Yes, the best way to get these partitions is to delete the partition and let the windows to their creation.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you

• How to install Windows XP on Portege S100 home after HARD drive crash

  In my laptop s100-s1133 of a HARD drive crash. I buy a new one. Now, I can not intall OS (Windows XP). Windows is not installed, because it does not find my HARD drive. I got downlad drivers for toshiba (Toshiba RAID driver for XP (v1.3.8.0, 10/04/2006; 465 K)). After the installation of win98, it cannot detect the CD-rom...
  Y at - it a recovery for this model cd? or can say smb, how can I install WinXP on this model

  Hello

  You are right that you must install the first RAID driver before installing the operating system.
  If you have installed the RAID the installation Win driver will ask you to format the HARD drive.
  In this case, do NOT format the HARD drive because the RAID driver will remove and it is not possible to install the Windows XP.

  Now your question Win98; is on the page of the Toshiba driver you will find not all drivers for Win98 for this device and I assume that you need a particular driver for the CD/DVD drive to activate this device.

  I give you a warning regarding the use of the WinXP

  PS: On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions. Follow this guide!

• Vista SP2 not recognizing not not SD card with the external drive

  I have a Dell PC running Vista SP2 32 bit, and I just bought a card reader IOGear (GFR204SD, USB key with slots for SD/MicroSD cards). With the help of one of my Android devices micro SDHC cards (both brand Sandisk 16GB, I have a Droid and a tablet of Sanyo), this USB drive will not be detected, but when I click on the icon that appears in my computer, it just says "Please insert disk into drive h:" even if the card is inserted. Cards read very well if I mount them by the smartphone, but not on this device. The IOGear online chat person was no help for me until my connection has been lost, and before I asked them once again, I thought I would see if it was a Vista problem.

  Every search I did shoot a lot Info for XP or SP1, but not to SP2. And in Device Manager there is no yellow triangle exclamation the device seems to settle but the card itself does not seem to be save.

• Satellite A500 - 1C0 - Windows has detected a problem with HARD drive

  Nice day
  Laptop shows me that Windows has detected a problem with the HARD drive. The laptop is running slow and chops. And when you turn it, it shows me Smart failure predicted on hard disk 1. Toshiba MK-5055GSX - (S2). Can you help me? (I m, CZ)

  Hi Konyga,

  If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

  Is your laptop still under warranty?
  If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.

• my computer asks me to fix a problem with the graphics driver intel but windows tells me solution can not be downloaded

  computer crashed and rebooted itself. I first started in safe mode, and the computer did not find any problems but had sent a report anyway.

  To restart normally, the center of the action (or as I would say, Center!; - p), has been asking me to scan with windows defender and a problem with the graphic driver intel. Scanned well, but to solve the problem, said action solution Center could not be downloaded. I am most definitely connected to the internet and have tried to solve this question many times during approximately the last 18hours?
  Help would be much appreciated?

  Good suggestion but I tried this, had to go the manufacturer of the laptop, but still no luck. Think he was playing tricks on me in any case, as seemed to be resolved with a full audit of the system and diagnosis.

  Thanks for the effort though...

• How can I prevent Windows Update to write data to my external HARD drive

  I have Windows XP running on a controller NI PXI-8106. On this same controller, I have two mapped drives.
  1 C drive where Windows is installed
  2-external SATA drive mounted in RAID0 used to save sensitive data in our application.

  We discovered that Windows update has written files to disk external DRIVE instead of the local drive as we would expected. What could I do to prevent this. It is very important for us, given that the RAID0 data should not be upset by any means. We cannot update Windows to write outside of the C: drive.

  I look on various forums and it seems that I'm not the only one in this situation where Windows Update writes data to an external HARD drive, but I have not seen anywhere a solution to avoid this, in addition to unmaping the drive.

  During the installation of updates, Windows Update downloads the installers (only) for updates to the drive with free space available. You can either disconnect the external drive when you need and/or free up space on, for example, your boot drive.

• Windows XP does not recognize Portable Toshiba external 500 GB hard drive.

  I bought a Toshiba Portable external 500 GB hard and connected to my Windows XP. My windows XP will recognize any unit. I went into my computer > management > drivers to find the drive and rename it. He wasn't there. I have Windows XP SP2, and I said that Windows XP SP3 is not compatible with this device.  I went to control panel > adding hardware > allow Research Assistant for devices not installed and it still did not.

  Any suggestions?

  In the future, please start your own thread.  It does not appear that your problem has much in common with that of the previous, other than you poster, both have a problem with an external drive.

  Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)
  Your portable player should be shown here (probably as "disk 1" in the lower pane)

  

  If the disk space presents itself as "Not allocated" (as in the figure above), right-click and select "New Partition".  During the operation of the wizard, you assign a drive letter.  I suggest that your format using NTFS.  Once the disk has been partitioned, formatted, and has a drive letter, it should show in my computer.

  If the drive is already partitioned and formatted, see if you can assign a drive letter to right-clicked on.

• How to stop Windows Update by creating temporary files on my external drives?

  Any ideas on how to tell Windows Update to stay away from my external drives?

  I have several external drives I use for backup projects, archives and collections of major media. They are connected to my laptop very irregularly and rarely more than a few hours. In recent years they have been inundated with folders with long as names d84fa74b9585277339 as the seams related to Windows Update. I think it has already started on the laptop with XP I had before this one. Sometimes I see these files on the internal hard disk, but there are theyalways disappear after some time. On external drives, I have to delete manually. On an NTFS disk partition I use for backup, it's not easy, sometimes I have to take ownership of the folder. Drives FAT32 / exFAT is easy.

  I guess people who have developed Windows Update realized that you can not trust USB or eSATA connected drives to be there when the cleaning is executed (BTW when cleanup runs it?). So I must have screwed up a setting somewhere. And I have to be very consistent in this because the same thing happens with friends and relatives, I contributed to the installation of Windows 7...

  Cheers, Willem

  WYSIWYG. Windows Update download installers for updates on the drive with the most free space.

  2 make it a habit to unplug all external drives are not currently used.

  3. disconnect all external disks before you run a manual check of Windows updates.

  4. run Disk Cleanup every 2-3 months or more.
