• Need advice on the installation of WinXP/2000 on Satellite Pro 4270

  Hello!

  (Sorry for the redundancy of this topic on this forum, too.)

  Please, any suspicion on this strange problem will be appreciated.

  I bought a used Satellite Pro 4270, with totally empty 6 GB drive, a pretty neat and apparently well kept machine...

  But, trying to make a new clean Win2000Pro installed on it, as previously successfully dozens of times on other PC machines, installation will be ending in a minute after that is to start with the 4 on setupdd.sys error!

  On WinXPPro new clean install, that the procedure will be stuck in less than 10 seconds, without any error at all...

  So, it might be the reason the cause?

  I tried several different corrective actions on this machine and guess several reasons, the cause, for example

  -the hard drive works fine on other machines and has also been fully verified and updated in shape at low altitude
  -copies of CD installation I tried several all work fine on other machines
  -the BIOS has been upgrade v2.70 just some time ago
  -the CMOS was turned off, i.e. in default some time ago
  -the machine was torn off at the minumum on audio memory, PCI, USB, etc.
  -the machine must be somehow strangely, which on the BIOS or HDD?
  -are there some 'weird' IDE or other driver disappeared on this case?
  -tests with installing Win98SE and FAT32 will not lead to a better result, just somehow different...

  Best regards

  Hello Pete

  It's a really bad situation. If you do clean install of the OS you na? t need any special drivers. Everything must be preinstalled when installing the OS is completed successfully.

  If you have a few HARD drive replacement, you should try to use it and see if the HARD drive is certainly not responsible for this. The fact is that W2000 and WXP can be installed successfully on many other old models of laptops and because of that I can't imagine that it is not possible to do the same on your device.

  Is it always that W2000 is supported for this device and you can find that page to download all the drivers of W2000 on Toshiba.

  Hello

  Also, I wasn't able to find the drivers for Win XP for this device.
  However, if you want to install Windows XP you can do, but as said above some functions may not work.

  The last possibility is to check the other laptop computer series and try to install drivers other laptops that support the same features.
  Maybe you about success.

• Satellite Pro 4270 and network problems

  I just got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270... I installed win 98 on it and it works beautifully.

  But then I added LAN PCMCIA card in computer and wanted to do some sufring. I encountered a problem.

  In the next devices, win98 reports error handler:
  The NDIS. VXD, NTKERN. VXD or Chargers device for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2).

  The card is 3Com Fe575C and I downloaded the latest drivers from www.3Com.com/warranty, but that did not help. I also ran regclean and reinstalled the card after that. Always the same fault. With my own laptop (win2k pro), the card works perfectly with no additional drivers, so the map itself is not defective.

  In addition, the Win98 find PCI card when starting, but I have no driver for that... Where can I get that? It does not specify which card that is...

  Hello

  I guess it is Win 98 Second Edition You are using on the 4270.
  Please go to driver download site and download the INF-update to the PC Card controller. I think this should solve your problem.

  While you are at it download the other drivers you need more.

• Lack of Win98SE PCI/Sound driver for Satellite Pro 4270

  Hello

  I have an old Satellite Pro 4270 with Win98SE license.
  I have no driver CD and only a Win98SE installation CD. So I installed Win98SE.
  From Toshiba Web site show me a lot of drivers for Win98SE which I installed.

  But I have not found a driver for the PCI card that has a yellow "?" in the Device Manager. I do not mean the PCMCIA slots.

  I installed the driver of his Yamaha DS - XG, but I can not here any sound.

  So where can I find the PCI driver and sound driver better.

  John

  Great! :)

  Thank you for your comments.

• Satellite Pro 4270 - USB does not work

  Hello.

  I had this problem for a while, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to solve this problem.

  I have more or less of work Satellite Pro 4270 (4200 Series) computer laptop with XP on it.

  The USB port does not work. I don't know why it does not work. I tried to replace the USB module on the motherboard that has not worked. I've updated the BIOS to the latest version, has not functioned. Removed and reinstalled the drivers in XP, not worked. I'm out of ideas.

  IrDA works very well.

  Some suggestions please. Thank you

  Hello!

  I understand, were you solder the module USB motherboard and then solder another module?

  I mean, what have you done with the module USB, replacing? Sorry, I don't remember exactly how the USB module is connected to my mobo SP4270 seen last about the half a year ago... If the welding, I don't wonder the problem... but if not, there may be a solution...

• Satellite Pro 4270: after update BIOS CPU speed at 250 MHz

  Welcome.

  I have upgraded the BIOS to version 2.7 (downloaded on toshiba website) in Satellite Pro 4270 and after her, my bus speed decrease to 250 MHz, so now I have Celeron 250 MHz instead of 500 MHz. You have some suggestions? Where can I find the old version of the BIOS in v2.7?
  Thank you

  HI Artur,

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to download an older version of BIOS on yout laptop since the BIOS update procedure is written to test later versions pre-installed and not too write.

  You will need to take your laptop to a Service partner certified to have a previous version of the BIOS re-installed.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 4270 LCD is slow.

  I Satellite Pro 4280 14 "and have no problem. I bought a second hand Satellite Pro 4270 13 "but the graphics on the screen appear to be slow. Tests using Direct X cube rotation is unclear. I've set up two screens mod with a CRT 17 '' monitor and two screens side by side, the CRT is icon perfect, but the 13 "laptop screen is too blurry. So I know that there is nothing wrong with the graphics card, just the screen. Is this normal for this model? or y at - it something wrong? Parameters are defined with the latest driver S3 Savage, which has not changed anything with all of the display of "display panel 1024 x 768 laptop. Using only the mode screen 800 x 600. Clues? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Please be shure that your 4270 13 "is a demonstration of DSTN. The sharpness of a DSTN display cannot be compared with a TFT screen, which is used in the 4280.

• Replacing the battery on Satellite Pro P100

  Hi can anyone recommend a reputable provider in Britain of the batteries for Satellite Pro P100, is a PA3480U-1BRS 6000mAh. ?

  People like DABS.com tried but they are always out of stock.

  As usual, there are plenty of weird sites found on Google but I have never heard of them and they offer for most non-Toshiba clones which I do not know if they are all good or even compatible.

  Ideally, I'll try to find a genuine Toshiba battery if I can

  Do Toshiba to provide directly?
  Thanks to all those who can help you

  Graham

  AFAIK, you can't order directly in battery Toshiba but each service provider authorized in the United Kingdom can get the original for you battery.
  I recommend checking the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  You can find the list of all FSA in the United Kingdom. Connect with some of them and look for information on replacing the battery, costs and delivery times.

  Bye and good luck!

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  It sounds like this host has already been improved 3.x! In this case you will not be able to upgrade to 5.x using the Manager to update because of the small partition/boot (99 MB).

  to remedy the hosts against a basic upgrade

  ... You cannot use Update Manager to upgrade to 5.0 ESXi host, if the host has upgraded ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x. These hosts have not enough free space in the partition/Boot to support the process of update Update Manager. Use either interactive or scripted upgrade.

• ESXi 4.0 Dell T105 "cannot find the boot partition.

  Dban Nuke used to wipe my hard drives (two of them).

  Unplugged the secondary hard drive.

  Installed ESXi 4.0 (declared success).

  Machine starts, starts in ESXi 4.0, starts to load, then:

  "Cannot find the boot partition.

  Others have suggested to set parameter SATA AHCI controller. Not possible in my BIOS. I 'ATA Mode' and 'Off '. "Off" turns off the entire controller and my hard drive is not recognized.

  Others still suggested to install on a USB key. Wary of such a hack...

  Help, please. There is very little out there on ESXi 4. Even a pointer to VMware documentation with a list of error messages and their meaning/solutions would be helpful (unable to find such a list myself).

  I had the same problem that others are with the start-up for the drives. I went with the USB boot and it works very well because it has an internal USB port, it works even better because I'm not burn an external port. I use an older version of BIOS that does not start USB ports have enough fast for the key USB is recognized from a cold start *bummer* but not a big deal. Once this is done, I'm off the coast and run very well.

  I would recommend going this way until someone comes up with a better alternative, which I would be interested in doing.

• Restart the problem after booting on Satellite Pro L20 - approx. 4 seconds

  I have a toshiba satellite pro l20 series and it worked fine until yesterday.
  the problem is that it restarts... Well actually, he stops in about 4 seconds after the start, remains closed for 1 or 2 seconds and then again
  same problem occurs with or without the battery.
  all I see is the Toshiba logo. I can enter the bios and when in the bios it does not stop.
  When I get out of the bios, saving the changes he stops. and then begins by itsself after 2 seconds.
  Please help me... How can I fix?

  Hello

  If the laptop goes through the Toshiba logo then maybe there is just something wrong with the software.
  In this case, the first step should be again install the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  Put the CD in the drive and try to boot from the CD.
  After installation, all should work properly.
  If it's not, so I guess there is a serious problem and service guys should check the laptop.
