• 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

• 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

• 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.

  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.

  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.

• 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!

• 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.

• 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:

• Portege 2000 cannot start after suspend

  Hi guru,.

  I'm new to this forum. So I looked through the first forum hoping to get an answer to my problem before posting, but no good result.

  Here's my problem. My portege 2000 works before brilliantly. But last night, while I was trying to configure my APM suspend (this is the first attempt to suspend), the problem, the system freezes! Then I tried to restart, can not remember I turn it off by pressing the button for a few seconds or unplug the hand because of the power key is not, in any case I have wait a few seconds after that, then turn on the power again, but the system seems to be dead, the AC power led is under voltage green LED, battery was not in the slot so no sign for her, the small button Fn LED told me this Fn key works well, but the caplock key does not work because its LED is not turn on after pressing, the screen is blank, or should say it is not powered on, the hard drive does not turn.

  So I unloaded the system by unplugging it from the main. After a while I swhitch on once again, the laptop is still in the same situation. Therefore, I tried to unload everything, disconnect the hand, open up the laptop, unplug the CMOS battery, wait for a while (15-20 minutes), then put it back on, but no joy.

  I did some research on Google at this time and read the knowledge base on the web site of Toshiba, seems the problem come with BIOS, who say that the system does not start if the power is off during suspend mode for the original version of BIOS (later healed). So, I decide to Flash a BIOS to most recent version. I have a pc card floppy drive, so I download the BIOS and create the floppy, then I use the key to update the BIOS to power on the laptop, luckily this time it works, "ready to update bios" screen appear. But when I press the key on the keyboard, it seems that it does not access the pc card floppy drive.

  By this incident, I think that the material has no problem, but the system is in standby for ever. Guru of the idea?

  Therefore, I have 2 questions:
  1. how to make it back to the start mode so that I can start my system? I need this as well according to the Readme of the BIOS update package, it should be in start mode, no interruption/recovery mode.
  2. how flashing a new bios in this situation? Do I need a USB floppy drive to do the BIOS to recognize that there is a drive so that I can Flash a new bios in there? Or the system will analyze not for material in this mode 'freezes '?

  Sorry about the long story, but I think I must tell him that you guys understand the situation and what I've tried so far.

  Additional information on my system, I'm under debian linux etch on this laptop, and everything that happened after I typed the command "apm-s". But it seems to me that it is the problem of BIOS problem OS?

  Thanks in advance.

  concerning

  Hello

  First question: How did you install the operating system if the laptop will not start?

  I'm a bit confused Mr. I put t you know what means the boot mode.

  If the laptop has been completely stopped down so it s in the boot mode (standby or hibernation mode don t mix).
  If you want to update BIOS please make sure the BIOS is good and that you use the right update procedure.

  Where did you find the information that the BIOS update will solve this problem?
  In any case, for me, it looks more like an electrical problem on the motherboard.

• Stop and start the Internet service with X 2000

  I just installed the X 2000 and managed to get my Win7 Home Premium connected to the Internet and also a wireless device. Previously, I had just a modem.

  Sometimes, when my PC is on, I want to disconnect from the Internet and then connect again.  There is an icon at the bottom right of my toolbar that allowed me to connect and disconnect with my old modem, but he seems to know only the old modem.

  Basically it is operated by the boot sequence: all items in Control Panel > network connections > connection broadband.  This function does not work; It tries to connect (via "WAN Miniport (PPPOE)") and gets "error 651: the modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error."

  Can you tell me what, where is the program that seems to start the connection Internet for the X 2000 and if I can change the settings of the Win7 "connection broadband" to use the X 2000?  Maybe the setting "Connect we Demand" in the "basic settings" of the X 2000 is involved?

  Forgive me for being dense, but I think I understood that something in response to the "gv".  If I go to http://192.168.1.1/ , and click on the tab "Status", my "connection status" has the ability to 'Disconnect' and 'Connect'  If I click 'Disconnect' my PC will essentially be offline and, later, when I want to go online, I can click on "Connect"?

  1. This will cut the internet connection of the router. He cut the internet connection for all THE devices connected to the router. He kills the internet connection of your iPad, too.

  2. I think that there is no guarantee that the router resets automatically later.

  3. it is not your computer safer. In General, if you get malware from the internet it's while you're doing something in the internet, navigation, for example. So not navigation and does not download emails are for most people means more effective "disconnect from the internet. Cut the internet connection won't make a difference unless your computer is already infected in which case it won't matter either because the malicious software on your computer may also just sit silently and wait for the connection to return.

  4 disconnect the internet link for the safety of your PC is pretty useless. It will not matter. At that time there you do nothing in the internet anyway. And it's not as if a clean computer would suddenly be infected only because somewhere there is an internet connection. Your router is a NAT gateway. Your LAN is already isolated from the internet, which is inaccessible from the internet, unless you have configured port forwarding, triggering or DMZ host.

  5. keep your computer up to date. If you wish, you can put the computer on standby during the absence. Saves energy and not enough good you want to do, even if it won't matter to safety.

• Cannot start the installation of recovery for Portege M200

  Hello

  I've used the DVD of recovery a long time ago, but now he won early t. Instructions tell you to:
  1 insert the disc
  2nd turn the pc on while keeping the key C pressed
  3. follow the instructions that appear on the screen

  I tried as indicated but nothing happens and windows starts normally. I also tried to open the DVD when the pc is on and I can see the files but can t start the process.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Hello

  have you tried to boot from the DVD? Of course, you can see the files on the DVD, but perhaps you need to change the boot order so it starts on the DVD instead. To do this, restart the computer, and then press F2 when you see the Toshiba logo on the screen during startup (F2 or which key it tells you to press to enter setup).

  Move to the boot order in the BIOS setup and exchange the CD/DVD with the HARD drive so that the CD/DVD is top of the list. Go into the menu of the BIOS Exit Saving Changes and the computer will reboot. I hope that the recovery DVDs should start now, if it works and the completion of all facilities to return to the menu of the BIOS and follow the same instructions to change the CD/DVD in the second and put the HARD drive to the top of the list.

  I hope that answers your question.
