• Replacing the drive HARD on Portege M200

  I have a Portege M200 with a 40G hard drive. I'm running out of space now.
  Does anyone know the maximum disk compatible with this machine?

  I thought Seagate Momentus 320 g.
  Could someone advise me please?

  Hello

  I read here in the forum about upgrade the HDD on Portege M200 and the guy has updated the 160 GB HARD drive.
  So I guess you could improve the 320 GB HARD drive as well.

  You need a 2.5 IDE HDD and it s any speed would support the HARD drive.

  See you soon

• Portege M200 - what is the maximum HARD disk?

  Hello

  I need to know what is the maximum capacity of the hard drive that is supported by Portege M200.

  Hello!

  I guess that the Portege M200 is equipped with an IDE HDD interface. This means that the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so it can only manage s HDD up to 128 GB. If you can use a 120 GB HARD drive in this notebook.
  If you want to learn more about the limitation of the LBA you can look on Wikipedia or here: [www.48bitlba.com].

  I have good experiences with Seagate drive HARD Hitachi s, but you can also buy another HARD drive. ;)

  I hope I could help you.

  Good bye

• Maximum hard drive on Portege M200

  I recently bought a Portege M200 on ebay and I think to install a new hard drive of 250 GB IDE.
  Y at - it a maximum size of hard drive for this model?

  Hello

  There is certainly a HARD drive size limitation the point is that the BIOS supports all HARD drive sizes and to be honest I don t think a 25GB HDD would go 0.
  I think it s all just too big

  Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't provide details about the possible HARD drive s max
  I looked a bit of a found that the M200 was equipped with 60 GB HARD drive
  That's why an 80 or maybe a 100 GB HARD disk too should t be a problem

• Portege M200 - the hard drive failed

  My 60 GB Toshiba hard drive failed in my Portege M200.

  I tried mounting a hard drive, I had in my old laptop, a 30 GB Hitachi hard drive but the laptop doesn't seem to recognize it. Does need a Toshiba hard drive or is the laptop died, when I put the hard drive in I get message invalid startup disk.

  The old hard drive goes to a blue screen then restart the laptop.

  No there not Toshiba HDD only. I found the list of some compatible hard drives for this old Portege.
  You can use follow hard drives:
  -TOSHIBA HDD2193B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2171B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2184B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2194B
  -HITACHI G8BC00014410
  -HITACHI G8BC00014610
  -HITACHI G8BC00015610
  -HITACHI G8BC00014810

  Anyway, when you try to use new BIOS to check updated HARD drive and if default settings the new HARD drive will be recognized correctly in the BIOS settings.

  Old HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  Have you tried to install the OS by using old HDD?

• Portege M200 BIOS update running Windows 7?

  Hello

  I recently took a Portege M200 and installed (via PXE - network installation) Windows 7 above. I want to upgrade the BIOS as is always in the original BIOS (1.1). I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS? I tried to put it on a USB key, but it doesn't seem to be an option to boot from USB.

  Thank you!
  Jerry

  > I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS?

  Seems that BIOS cannot be updated because Win 7 is not officially supported on this good old classic.
  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) is required to run an update of the BIOS. So, try to install the VAP. Choose this tool which is available for other models of laptops.

  > Anyone know where I can find a driver for it? I do not see there are 2 devices not recognized - a 'Base system device' and an 'unknown device '...

• Re: Portege M200: need to start Win XP boot disk

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a boot floppy to boot XP tablet edition disc 2005 on my Portege M200.
  If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

  Hello

  You must initialize disc?
  I wonder why you need this disc?

  I think you don t know a fact. The diskette of starting in not necessary but you need a compatible CD/DVD player if you want to start from the CD or DVD.

  The Portege M200 supports the recovery through the BIOS (by pressing 'C') with the USB 2.0 card and PCMCIA (16-bit and Cardbus).

  _Following and controllers (USB, PCMCIA) can be used: _
  one) Toshiba, PA3352E-SCD2, CD-RW/DVD-Rom USB 2.0 drive
  (b) Toshiba, PA3402E-1DV2 USB 2.0 DVD Super Multi Drive, SN: 5362870112
  (c) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with a PC card (16 bit), cable, PCMCIA Card, Rev.043.242, SN: 18496 043 3999 0343 01093
  (d) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with CardBus, cable II, CARDBUS, Rev.136, SN: 16693 136 3999 0149 06122

  The setting of 'PC Card Controller Mode' in the BIOS should be 'Automatic Selection '.
  This means that you have nothing to change in the BIOS, because it is the default value.

• Portege M200 - device unknown in Device Manager

  I did a clean install of Windows XP on my toshiba portege m200 (Tablet). I have most of the devices drivers installed, but there is one that I can't understand. The device manager says I have an "unknown device" on my "Intel 82801 dbm lpc interface controller.

  What is it? I thought it was the chip set, but I had installed the Intel chipset drivers (twice, just to make sure that I really did), but it still reads as 'unknown device' on ' Intel (r) 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller - 24CC.

  To resolve this issue go to the device, right click on the unknown device, Manager and then select set to update driver.
  When the Hardware Update Wizard appears, select the advanced option.
  From the next window, select the 'don't search. I will choose the driver' option
  Now, go to the Intel announcement and select good "82801DBM LPC Interface Controller - 24CC.
  Click OK and now it should work.

  Also, be sure you have all the drivers installed from Toshiba Web site:

• Can not install Windows on Portege M200

  Hello
  I bought a Portege M200 opportunity. I discovered that the HARD drive was broken, so I bought a new one, plus a (160 GB)
  I know the problems Porteges can do when triing to install the OS on them, so I used this tutorial for installation of the network:
  [http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/02/01/how-to-boot-from-the-network-pxe-boot-with-tftp-and-windows-pe/ | http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/02/01/how-to-boot-from-the-network-pxe-boot-with-tftp-and-windows-pe/]

  everything worked well. then, my xp installation 'button' was grey, so I went with this tutorial:
  http://blog.ryantadams.com/2008/07/30/option-to-install-Windows-is-grayed-out-when-running-network-install/

  that worked well, too. The installer kopies some files and the desire to do a restart. So he brought me to Windows PE, I typed 'wpeutil reboot' as described in the second tutorial. My PC has started again and then nothing happens.
  I chossed "boot from HDD" and all I can see is a black screen with a small flashing underscore white top.

  IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. I also tried another method, for example the back of things (like I got [my R100 to work | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=120473]), with the same result.

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  You have a smaller HARD drive you can try?

  The M200 may be limited to 120 GB HDD due to the LBA48 137 GB limit. More info here: http://www.48bitlba.com/

  Ultimately, you must use the original Toshiba Portege M200 recovery disk to reinstall Windows. You can order from Toshiba https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• Portege M200 with Windows 7

  Hello

  I managed as probably many others to get Windows 7 on a Portege M200 the application screen with 7 key is amazing by the way. However my question is how much can I sell this for as I noticed there are not on eBay and still less one with windows 7 on it as it is rare that I personally wouldn't be able to rate b and I was wondering how much would you pay for such a rare piece?

  I agree with Akuma. Portege M200 is old model of laptop, so the best thing you can do is sell in original condition with original installation disk.

  To offer it with Win7 no sense for me because this old notebook is not supported for the new operating system to Win7 and it is not possible to use it as the original operating system with all Toshiba tools and utilities.

  Akuma is right. For the time being, you can use Windows 7 for testing purposes. Official Windows 7 will be support begins when Microsoft, it offers for sale. So far, Toshiba or any other manufacturer offer some Windows 7 compatible drivers.

  I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro P300 and use it without a driver.

• How to get off the Vista of Portege M200?

  Hello

  I inherited Portege M200 from my boss, and he has updated using an external DVD from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate. Slow as a slow thing, very few pilots etc, meant that I am determined to go back to XP Pro.
  I (128, 1 Gig and 2 gig options) SD cards and USB HP dvd1040e external drive, and XP Pro Tablet records.

  I tried to select the devices to boot from the toshiba start screen, selecting SD or external DVD, but nothing helped. I changed the boot sequence in the Bios (hit escape and F1 at startup screen spalsh) and tried all combinations. I copied the image file to $TOSFD00.vfd on the SD card.

  I managed to loop the machine, in all configurations, so that I just get support PXE-61 test failure, check cable PXE - MOF existing boot lines agent, then go to the Boot Manager Windows asks me to insert the windows installation disc as winload.exe may be damaged or missing. I removed the drive, checked that the winload.exe is present on the HARD disk, it is, and it is in its original version / size / format the date created.

  Someone at - it a suggestoin which stops me pulling my hair?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you want to start from the CD or DVD you need a compatible external CD/DVD drive! Without that player you will not be able to reinstall Windows XP from the CD!

  But the boss installed you the Vista operating system by using the external drive. Why you n t use the same drive to reinstall the XP?

  The install form SD card is not possible! And if you want to install the image using the LAN you must configure a server

• Where can I find the drivers for my Portege M200 - I lost my recovery CD

  Where can I find the drivers for my Portege M200? Because there is none on the download page. The only drivers that you might find there are drivers for bluetooth, wlan and I think it is. Have no drivers for my sound card, my network card and all the other stuff.

  I need to download because I really really need to do a fresh install and my recovery disk is lost since the last time I moved.

  Naturally, I called Toshiba and asked if I could get a new one, or if I could download it some how, the response I got was "I'm sorry, neither we nor any of our partners have a.

  And because the windows license is only valid for the Windows XP Tablet edition with SP1 preistalled "Toshiba" and the only way I could get if I had such a drive.

  So the advice gave me support was to buy a new license windows and if I wanted to all work I must review the Windows XP Tablet edition 2005 or something like that.

  But since I already have XP pro license, I decided to install it because I almost never use the tablet properties more. And now when I did just that I can't find almost all the drivers my computer cannot function properly.

  Hello

  What page of the driver Toshiba have you checked?

• Portege M200 BIOS update

  Hello
  I have a portege m200 and because he doesn't any device (floppy drive, dvd) top, I want to be able to boot from an sd card. For that I need the most recent BIOS version v1.70win, but to intall, it requires the common Module. I have instaled (there was no error, at least), but when I try to do the update, a message "lack the common module". So I'm a bit confused. I guess the best, think to do is erase any previous version of the common module and reintall it, but I have no ideea how I had to do.
  can someone give me clues, or maybe I'm on the wrong track.
  Thank you
  Daniel

  Hello Daniel

  AFAIK it of not necessary to install a common Modules if you want to update the BIOS. You can normally find the common Modules to add and remove programs. If you need a whole instruction how to do a BIOS update, you can find it on the Toshiba site.

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  Please go to Support & downloads and Knowledge Base. There, you can search for the BIOS update.

  Good bye
