• Installation of Windows from CD-ROM, usb external for portege 2000

  [b] how can I install windows all external usb on my portege 2000 CD-ROM

  Hello

  It is a common situation for users without an internal optical drive.

  My main advice is to install from the HARD disk instead of installing from a CD or a DVD.

  How you reach this goal depends on your possibilities.
  The most common solution is to boot the machine into the operating system already installed, copy the content from the installation media to a temporary folder on the local hard drive.
  Start the installation from there.

  If you have a clean machine (no OS) then you must be able to boot from one of the supported devices:
  FDD USB (USB HDD or USB CD).
  PC CD/DVD card
  LAN

• Where to find CDs of recovery for Portege 2000

  Have two key for xp pro & windows 2000 but not backup and recovery to reinstall cd... Sorry, where can
  I find a copy?

  Thank you

  Hello
  where are your general recovery now? You know that if you've lost your General and didn t have all the backups that you have to pay for a new recovery cd.
  You can do something else:
  If you have an original windows xp cd lying around somewhere, then install it and download the drivers from internet.

  It's a really elegant solution without having to purchase a new recovery cd. Just ask a friend to help you with that ;) or whatever and you won´t need to buy a new cover on cd...

• Setup windows XP on Portege 2000, with no external drives

  I recently I've been the proud owner of a Portege 2000 that was given to me for free (?) of a member of the family who do not use it.

  When I was first, I felt impressed! Its so light and so beautiful.
  It came with Windows 2000, which crashed after some time (one day only). So I decided to install windows Xp on it. But the portege has no external media player, which can be accessed via the bios, as I conclude after reading several threads on this forum. After windows 2000 has crashed I knew that the hard drive may have some problems, but I decided that before I I buy new 1.8 "(very expensive) Player, I would try to install a fresh copy of windows XP os. So I bought a 1.8 "adapter IDE hard drive to connect it to my office. This thing works great as I can see the drive and also copy the files on it.

  But the problem for me, it of how to install XP on the drive and then plug it into the portege and do work.

  I tried to install windows via the desktop PC, and then after removing all the drivers in the Device Manager console, I re - install on the portege. All I get is a gray bar that fills up on a black screen and then more nothing...

  I tried to start it in safe mode but after it loads some files it just stuck. I though maybe if I did a different desktop installation there would be no problem, so I installed XP on all the computers availiable from desktop to me (core 2 duo, Opteron and athlon XP-socket A) with the same exact results.

  Is there a way to make the toshiba 1.8 "bootable disc through the desktop computer and also include the installation of XP on the same drive of windows files?
  What I mean is if its possible to emulate a floppy and access command prompts, while having windows XP on the same hard drive?

  If this isn't the case, you have any suggestions on this subject? Any idea will be welcome I've tried to find a way for about a month now...

  I read somewhere in this forum that you can install XP via lan, but I don't really know how to do this.

  PS It would be possible for anyone to find an installation of windows xp for portege 2000 as a ghost image that I can load into the reader through the Office?

  Thank you in advance and please help me...

  Hmm, good explanation. I think he'll appreciate this detailed version. :)

• 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

• Portege 2000 - memory upgrade

  I am the owner of an old but good laptop Toshiba Dynabook SS 2000 (aka portege) 2000. The material is: P750 / 128 M / 20 Gb. long ago, RAM has been increased to 256 MB, but this is not enough.

  Is it possible to replace with new 256 MB 128 MB module to increase the 384 MB RAM?
  Or maybe the only adjust the volume as well as on the map?

  Portege European 2000 can be upgraded to 512 MB. Memory module 256 MB compatible except for the number PA3158U - 1. 25 M.

  I think you can use it on your Dynabook SS 2000. Check it out.

• Portege 2000 BIOS passoword is necessary

  I was handed a Portege 2000 to take a look at. As soon as I turn it on I see the Toshiba logo that immediately followed by a black screen that says only "password =".
  I tried looking for answers, but came away empty-handed.

  I am at a loss for what to do again. I was hoping someone here could give me an idea about where to go from here.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the laptop is locked with BIOS password.
  You need the password in order to start the machine.
  If you n t know the password, you will need to contact a local technician of ASP (authorized service provider) who would be able to remove this unknown password.

  Good luck

• 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 - cover sensor/special keys do not work after installing XP?

  Windows XP SP2 is installed on a drive formatted on a Portege 2000 previously configured to run Win 2000 factory.
  After the installation of all downloads for Windows XP available on the Toshiba site have been added.
  The Toshiba special keys for browser and Toshiba console now do not work and the lid sensor
  to get the computer to sleep or into hibernation do not work when the lid is closed.
  She will be in hibernation if you press function f4. The XP was installed came not from Toshiba.
  Help? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The fact is that the Toshiba power saver controls the hibernation mode, and the day before.
  Here, you can configure this option.
  AFAIK closing cover option you can set only on the eve of setting power off or no action. You cannot set to Hibernate.
  In the energy saver, you will need to use the Details button. In the system power mode, you can configure this action.

  Good bye

• 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!

• 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.

  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.

  First I have to ask you something. Have you had problems with the Wi - Fi? The driver that you can find on the CD tools & utilities is the right one.

• Portege 2000 - information needed

  Hello!

  I need some special information on the Toshiba Portege 2000, I hope someone could help me.

  1. What CPU can I build? At the present time, there is a Mobile Pentium 3 750 MHz... Back on Portege 2000 supports higher as 1 GHz or 1.13 GHz processors? What socket has the P2000?
  2 How much RAM is supported?
  3. HARD-medium disk. At the moment I have a 30 GB. Support for more information? Maybe 40 GB or even 60 GB?

  Thanks so far! :)

  Why you n t install and use the software of hardware diagnosis like Everest home edition for example.
  This software provides all the info and details.

  > Back on Portege 2000 supports higher as 1 GHz or 1.13 GHz processors?
  It depends on the Chipset. Check the chipset and the specifications. The chipset details can be found on the Intel page. There you should find the info about the CPU compatibility.

  > 2. How much RAM is supported?
  Only one slot is available and can be upgraded. You can upgrade the RAM to 512 MB max

  > 3. HDD-support. At the moment I have a 30 GB. Support for more information? Maybe 40 or even 60 GB?
  I think that it should be possible to use the 40 or 60 GB.
  The difference between the 30 and 60 GB is not that huge.
  But you should first try with a 40 GB enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Put Hibernate & standby does not work on Portege 2000

  I recently bought a refurbished Portege 2000. It did come with any documentation or Toshiba software installed. I grabbed what I thought good to the download section of the support page and that you have installed.

  I have the Toshiba console works, the utility of accessibility and performance of the Intel thingy. Energy saving works now and so do all the functions of the shortcut out of standby and standby key extended (FN + F3/F4).

  Have I missed something in the download section or y at - it a particular order, to which I should install?

  Thanks in anticipation,
  Coastal

  Hello

  As a first step, we should clear the issue of operating system, I assume you are using Win XP.
  Am I wrong? Have you installed the electricity saving for Win XP right?
  Two different Power saver utilities are available on the page. 5.04.00 and 5.01.00.
  I advise to use the last being!

  The other FN keys work correctly and therefore, it seems that the important applications, such as the common modules and Hotkey utility have been installed correctly.

  I think that it s just a matter of adjustment. Hibernation is disabled by default.
  If you want to use the FN + F4 you must first enable it in settings of standby power.
  The same should be done with standby mode which can be used with FN + F3
