• Dual boot with Windows 7 and LINUX - Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 005-00L)

  Hello

  I bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. I want to install LINUX also. This means that I want to run my laptop in dual boot Win7 Pro/LINUX (a Distributor). Please tell me how to do this.

  There are 5 partitions on the HARD disk:
  1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
  3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
  4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
  5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Hey, I need because I was admitted to a course of RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer)

  Please help me

  Hello

  I can't give you a step by step explanation, but most distributions offer today a possibility to coexist with Windows.
  When installing the unused free space will be taken by Linux (with the consent of the user of course!)

  What exact configuration you need is impossible for someone else to say, but I would say to make the space occupied by the F player available for Linux.
  You seem to have of enough space for Windows and Linux operating system doesn't have much.

  Some thoughts about setting up your score:

  I touch NOT 1,2 and 5 no matter what. They are your system and a system of internal partitions (recovery and data environment) and wouldn't it be fun to lose.

  1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
  2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
  3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
  4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
  5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

  Then choose a Distro (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and OpenSuse - suggestion Fedora will be as close as possible associated with RedHat) that will guide you in the steps to allocate space for Linux.
  I suggest however to remove the disk F in Windows for Linux does not start from resizing all partitions.
  I do not know which works perfectly, but will just take time, and will most probably remain pretty useless drive F.

  If you have valuable data on your device, make sure to save! No software comes with warranty :)
  Last but not least - make 100% sure to create a collection set using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator before you start the installation of Linux.
  If something goes wrong you have the opportunity to put the unit in factory condition.

  Good luck and keep asking you if you need extra help!

• Tecra S3 on Linux: hard drive not recognized

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Tecra S3 and I'm happy with it, except for one important thing: I can not install Linux on it.

  I tried with the latest versions of Fedora Core and Ubuntu, the hard drive seems to be detected, but it is not recognized at the time of installation. I guess it's a matter of (too) new chipset Serial ATA.

  You have any recommendations or do you intend to contribute to the kernel modules in Linux/order that this model could be installed on Linux?

  Also note that I remember that I had the same problem when I tried to install Windows XP from a CD (not the recovery cd): the hard drive has not been detected and the installation failed.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I can t believe that you can not install a Windows operating system.
  You formatait once again the HARD drive? I recommend to format the HARD drive completely, then install the operating system.
  In addition, if you want to use the Windows operating system, you must use the recovery CD because this image included all the necessary drivers.

  If you want to work with the Linux operating system, I recommend using the Knoppix distribution. In this case you n t need to install anything. This Linux you can start from the DVD or CD and it works as a Linux operating system normally

  Good bye

• Dual-boot Windows and Linux, but Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

  I'm using Linux Mint and Windows 7 dual-boot. I have TB 31.0 installed on each operating system. TB Linux has a capacity of calendar; in Windows, there is nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for example, access somehow).

  I should add that Windows and Linux TB programs share the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), therefore, all of the same modules, passwords, etc.

  The error console records the following:

  Timestamp: 14/08/2014-18:41:33
  Error: Components.classes['@ [cid] is undefined
  Source file: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm-> file:///P:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js
  Online: 17

  There are a variety of flow on the errors related to this.

  My apologies for posting this in this way; I intend to submit this via the crashreporter, but I can't get the program crash with this error earlier.

  An answer to my own question: it turns out that, while sharing a profile works quite well for most of the cases, with lightning, he does not, like the extension has different versions of Linux and Windows. The problem is solved very simply: by not using is not the same profile for each version.

  Glad to see that no one takes on this one (except me, of course).

• Tecra A4 and Win7 - problems with PCMCIA card driver

  I've recently updated my old laptop Tecra A4 - PTA42E - (in great condition however) for Windows 7 and it is now in the best shape ever except for the PCMCIA card. In fact, to have Windows 7 installed I had to rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files during the installation (to .old or .bak) otherwise the new operating system would not start. The same problem has been experienced by many other users Tecra A4 and the solution is available in a number of forums.

  Although I use no more than the PCMCIA card slot, I want to fix this for a reason: If, in the future, I need to re - install Windows 7 for some reason any on this laptop, I have to repeat the same process - rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf during installation, in addition, the new operating system does not start.

  I do not understand that the original drivers from the card slot (Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7, but it is there any updated driver that works for windows 7? And if there's a how can I replace the old drivers in my system so that in the event of re - install Windows 7 I will not have to go through the same process? TI site is no help, and Toshiba does not all drivers to download.

  Last but not least, if there is a driver available, I used the card slot for 2 ports USB 2 or 3 additional which are really necessary.

  Thanks to the forum, in advance

  Hello

  The pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files are part of the Windows System.
  This driver isn't provided by laptop manufacturer, but it is a Microsoft internal driver.

  You mentioned that the pilots of the original card slot Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7.

  To my knowledge, this driver does control not the PCMCIA location but this driver controls the card reader that supports the MMC card, SD card, card xd picture card, SM card, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.

  However, the Tecra A4 is very old model of laptop. The driver will not be updated for this camera and it looks like Windows 7 drivers never had to be released the driver Toshiba UE

• Tecra M9 and compitable motherboards

  Good day to all
  My Toshiba laptop Tecra M9 PTM91E - 12R features of a faulty video card.
  I replaced this card many times, but it's always get bad after a while.
  My repair shop of my recommended to replace its motherboard in order to get a solution permanent.

  I'm not sure if I am looking for motherboards Compitable with my product

  Can someone tell me please with PART NUMBERS of SPECIFICATIONS AND motherboards that I can buy?

  Thanks in advance for your support

  > Any can advise me please with PART NUMBERS, specifications AND motherboards that I can buy?
  Hmmmm... It is not as easy as you think. Defective parts will be exchanged on mobile units with only identical hardware components. It's a completely different situation than on desktop systems.

  You can visit the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help, but you will see that they will not be able to help you.
  Fact is that Tecra M9 was offered with two hardware platforms. PTM90E and your PTM91E.

  In the end, I must say it's really strange that you have an ongoing problem with GPU defective. When everything is changed on professional way and you take care of the machine and don't forget laptop is cooled properly I don t see the reason why it should be defective over and over again.

  For 3 years I have Tecra A11 and use almost every day for my small business and there is no problem at all. OK I use for typical every day activities such as web or MS Office and not for games or other graphics intensive applications.

  Try to contact Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for advice. They should have access to the material database of Toshiba and maybe they have good advice for you.

  If possible, send feedback.

  Of course, the two laptops are different.
  There are different models Tecra A10 and there are different units Tecra M10.

  For example:
  Tecra * A10-13 b * supports Intel GM45 chipset and an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz CPU.

  Tecra * A10 - 1 2 * supports an Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 Ghz CPU Intel GM45 chipset

• Satellite A110-180 - update of the Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

  Hello

  I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop satellite A110-180
  * AHCI for SATA
  Disable the IDE

  But none of these options.
  So I thought that maybe I should update my bios.
  I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NO vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.

  Which one should I download, or is there another option to change the settings?

  Thank you!
  Bart

  Hello

  Satellite A110 does not support these options (SATA AHCI).
  The update of the BIOS will not help you!

  Linux is not supported and therefore, you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!

  The two BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
  Therefore, if you use other than Vista OS then you should throw the update of the independent BIOS to the BONE!

  But as mentioned above; both options will not appear after the BIOS update!

• Tecra M9 and M10 wheel Volume does not not under Vista

  Hello

  I hope that someone can help me, I'm Vista using Microsoft Deployment Workbench deployment for Tecra M9 and M10 material and the volume knob will not work. I added the drivers of Toshiba in Deployment Workbench, while they are presented the machines via Plug n Play, volume button do not work. I also deleted the drivers of Deployment Workbench and installed the drivers manually on the machines, this installs fine, but volume knob will not work. I have two development servers, Win Server 2003 and Win Server 2008, the two do not run successfully the pilot slots.

  If I deploy a standard Win Vista Enterrprise 32 bit OS of DVD hardware, with any driver when it is installed, the volume wheel works. I can then manually install the audio driver and the volume button still works. But if I deploy the same exact DVD based OS of Deployment Workbench, the volume knob does not work?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is doing my head and holding up the deployment of the new image.

  Thank you

  Maybe you are trying to install the driver Audio of M9 M10 or vice versa?

  You install the driver Chipset Intel and value-added package first? (this is important)

• Re: Tecra S10 and S11 freeze randomly

  We have several Tecra S10 and S11. Freezing randomly during the day. Some even twice within half an hour, others spread it throughout the day.

  The Tecra is all Windows 7. Some have 64 bit, others a 32-bit installation. After installation of Windows 7, we have removed additional software we don't need, like McAfee, Toshiba goodies (Assist, Tempro, etc.), Ebay, etc. After that we activatie Office 2007 and Microsoft put updated laptops. So far so good.

  However, after a week or two just work in Word causes the Tecra to freeze. Same ctrl + alt + delete does not work. The Tecra should be forced to turn off the power, press and hold the power button.

  Everyone recognizes these "frozen moments". It's very annoying.

  It is not easy to say why this is happening.
  Always it is that Office is preinstalled on almost all laptops Toshiba so I did not thing your laptops can be somewhat different.

  Maybe something else responsible for this?
  Maybe are all connected to your business LAN and there is a problem.
  Are connected external devices which can be responsible for this?
  Maybe some internal software of the company is blocking something.

  It is not easy to say what he can be.

  Have you done tests in the past to see what can be the problem?

• How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

  Hello

  I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

  I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

  Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
  Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

  * a partition for the system
  * one for Windows 8
  * one for data and
  least for Ubuntu OS

  My goal is:

  -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

  to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

  I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

  According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
  Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

  Best regards

  I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

  I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
  So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

  However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

  By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

• Problem starting with the Tecra A8 and A9 models

  We have about 20 or more, A8 and A9 Tecra notebooks and each has shown signs of the same problem again. If rebotting and netwrok cable is attached, so they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.
  The A8 has a motherboard replacement (problem existed before the replacement) and is still there now after the replacement. The MB is replaced mainly because the sound card was dead. All machines are running XP Pro OS. The A9 is a novelty. Would be - this driver issue or - this one of my favorite - an update from MS that has caused problems.

  > If reboot and the cable network is connected, then they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.

  Hmm that's strange.
  However, I recommend that you check the BIOS settings, please ensure that LAN is not set as first boot device.
  Also check if the BIOS has been updated to the State

  Sorry, but this is really rare and you should try universal workaround solutions that could help resolve this problem.

• TECRA S3 and OS support

  Welcome!

  I would like to share with you how not flexible is Toshiba Tecra S3. My problems:
  1. very low compatibility of utilities Toshiba for Windows 2003 - now don't save uilities which cannot install on Windows 2003 mobile extensions no brightness toshiba functions available.
  2. no software disk for Windows 2000 HARD shock protection.
  3. no software support email contact I can't write any complaints about drivers - only service supported hardware
  4.I supposed to serve this "business machine" portable machine in developing countries - but there is a pilot very low support for other platforms Windows than Windows XP. Laptops are not only office or media players text editors, but has power of desktop PC so please improve OS support in drivers Toshiba.
  5. manufacturers like Marvel or Intel support their chipsets for Windows 2003 with no problems.

  Hello

  Well, one of my friends has a Tecra S3 and he is very satisfied with this unit.
  As far as I know, this device was shipped with Windows XP and all the drivers are available for this device. Drivers Toshiba designed for common OS as W2k, XP.
  If you want to use specific tools and utilities, so you have to use this OS. It of a just done. Mobile computer technology is very different and delicate as a desktop PC. Of course, you can use another OS, but if you can't wait to use special tools.

  For example: mobile video graphics technology is not the same! It of very difficult to get the best graphics performance without high temperatures and overheating problems. In this case the graphics driver Toshiba has an overheating protection. NVIDIA or another s manufacturer drivers doesn t have that option because they designed the drivers for desktop PC not for laptops.

  Toshiba sells many different laptops with different hardware compatibility models. So if you are not able to find the drivers for this laptop, then you should try check the drivers for the other phones with the same hardware devices.
