• Update on Portege A100 HDD

  Hello

  2 questions:

  1. I would like to replace my hard drive 3 yr old portege a100 with 2.5 inch 100-200 GB hard drive (internal).
  I was wondering if it was possible?

  2. I was wondering if, if the hard drive has been replaced with a new drive from 100 to 200 GB, so Windows XP Professional run / would be allowed to install on the new drive?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Windows XP will accept the larger sizes of drive HARD, but not the BIOS!
  The BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive in a case value and you will not be able to reinstall the OS!

  After a short investigation found several compatible HARD drive sizes for Portege A100.
  Seems you can use 40, 60 GB and 80 GB. In my opinion the 100 GB HARD drive could be also compatible. But you will not be able to use a 200 GB HARD drive. It is simply too!

• Satellite Pro A200-16YT - update wireless adapter card for 802.11n

  Satellite Pro A200-16YT (PSAE1E) with Windows XP Professional SP3 from the East.
  I tried to increase my existing 54 Mbps wireless network speed by replacing the Atheros AR5007-EG existing with 802.11n 802.11a/b/g more quick adapter.

  The Atheros driver is v9.2.0.439 (08/04/2011) it's later. I tried to install an Azurewave AR5BXB72 (Atheros AR5008) as a substitute, but without success. As well as trying the standard Windows wireless configuration, I used the Atheros Client Utility (ACU) which confirms that the card and the driver are installed and activated, but the radio does not, so no there is no association/connection to the wireless network!

  Reinstall the original AR5007 works without any problem. If someone experienced similar problems or can offer a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  Not sure about this Wlan card but I read in the forum that some people had similar problems, allowing the new card Wlan.

  Check this thread for example:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=253505

  It seems that the problem is related to the assignment of the WLan card pins.

• Upgrade for Portege A100 wireless LAN driver

  Is my wireless Atheros AR 5001 X +. I received notification of upgrade of Toshiba for Intel Pro Wireless XXXX.

  Can someone help how to identify which Intel driver should I use for my system (Portege A100 with XP Pro)?

  Thank you very much

  Hi Max

  I wonder why you want to update the Intel WLan card driver.
  According to your first post you use card Atheros AR 5001 X + WLan and not Intel WLan card. Please don t mix Intel cards with Atheros cards.

  PS: If you want to check the version of your Wlan card driver you must go to the Device Manager.
  There, you have to select the WLan card and access the properties (right click).

• Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

  Hello

  I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

  I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

  The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
  This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

  Any help would be great,

  Thank you

  Hello

  Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
  As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
  So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

  Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

  Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
  It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
  I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

• Can Vista on Portege A100 - I update the BIOS?

  Had a go at this facility, and everything is well outside the installation of value-added package - the main thing I want to make it work is the function for the brightness of the screen keys and connect a TV.

  I understand that the upgrade of the BIOS can contribute to obtaining of the installed VAP (I'm getting an ID ERR NOTINSTALLTVALZ), I know that Toshiba will not directly support the A100 for Vista, but is there a BIOS I can install that works? I think there could be a similar machine that works in Vista or maybe just a BIOS A100 that will suffice?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  May I ask where did you get the Vista Package value added for Portege A100?
  I didn t find this value-added package on Toshiba Europe site.

  There are only 3 files for Vista. One of the files is BIOS v1.60 - WIN, which seems to be independent of the operating system.

  With regard to the BIOS;
  You should know that the update of the BIOS is always risky.
  If you use the wrong version of BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure can damage the motherboard!
  and as you probably know the motherboard is one of the expensive laptop parts!
  It s not worth it to try something that can damage the laptop. You know

• Portege A100 - need new driver for graphics card to play games

  I own a Portege A100 and I need to update the graphics controller to play games.

  My problem is I went to the Download Center and the latest driver is currently installed in my notebook.
  I got this game running before but had my cell reprogrammed and don't remember how to operate.

  Help, please!

  Hmmmm... to be honest Portege is not portable for the games. Maybe for playing chess, but for some graphics intensive games is certainly bad laptop.

  Anyway, the question is what you want to do.
  Do you want to play some games or simply to grow old (already working) game to run again? Or maybe the two options?

  Thank you

  Hello Jon

  As you know Vista isn't officially lounched and I guess on site of manufacturers of portable driver is still not available.

  If you can identify what WLAN card is inside your support page for laptop check manufacturer. Usually, they offer such things as soon as a manufacturer of PC or laptop.

• Cannot find drivers (W98SE) for my Portege A100

  I own a Toshiba Portege A100 laptop. I want to install Windows 98 SE. I first got a look at downloading drivers in this UK site. It seems that there is no download for Windows 2000. I can only download 2000 or XP drivers.

  Is it possible to get at least the sound card and drivers of wireless network for Windows 98 for this type of laptop please.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, he was unable to find Win98 drivers for this device and I guess that Win98 drivers are not designed for this device.
  I also check the Web site of U.S. Toshiba and the Toshiba Australia, but without success.
  The only way is to check the other units that have the same devices/parts and try to use these drivers.

  Good luck

• Why my iphone is required to connect to itunes after updating wireless.

  Why my iphone is required to connect to itunes after updating wireless?

  I don't have itunes and won't.

  Is there anyway around of this or take it back to the old ios?

  More than the upgrade of the air seems to have issues, whether all connect at the same time or other problems. I had to plug my phone into the computer, update itunes to the latest, published today, then ios upgrade 10.0.1 and it is fine now. You could bring to the apple store and probably use their computers, just don't tell the computer to trust the phone.

• Portege A100 (PPA10A) - where to get spare parts?

  Hi all

  I have a Portege A100 PPA10A, he is old enough and the cable from the Touchpad to the motherboard is broken. N that anyone know the part number for this cable or knows where I can get the part number?

  I sent an email to a place called "spare = parts Warehouse", but they had trouble finding the part

  But if anyone knows for sure, that would be great.

  Kind regards

  Hi Widget,

  To be honest, I doubt anyone here can tell you the part number of this cable. It s only a user to user forum where you can talk with normal people like you and me.

  In my opinion, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them:
  www.MyToshiba.com.au > Support > find a Service Centre

  Good luck! :)

• Portege A100 - where is the CMOS battery?

  Hello
  Can someone tell me where the CMOS battery is located in a Portege A100, please?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Why, you want to know where is the CMOS battery? You want to exchange it?

  I think this question can anybody answer here because it s only a user to user forum. Never saw here authorized technicians or anyone from Toshiba.

  Regarding your question, you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can answer any technical questions and also to exchange the battery for you. ;)

  Hello

  I'm trying to re - organize a laptop for a friend and get good video and audio drivers. The machine (built in Europe) is a "Portege A100' with a model number of PPA10E-0002N-EN.

  None of the Toshiba forums list the as a Portege A100 and the model number does not appear in the list of the models of satellite. As a result, I'm shooting in the dark to determine what that the specification of the equipment to get the correct drivers.

  Can someone point me in the right direction?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Portege A100 seems to be the old series laptop and it's why pilots have been moved to the archives.

  In * Archive area * you will certainly find the necessary drivers.
  Currently, the European driver Toshiba page contains the Analog Devices Inc. Win XP driver sound v5.12.01.3542 and Intel display driver 6.13.10.3514 version.
