Help required with Photoshop Elements 4.0 this has been installed on my new Toshiba laptop with windows 8.1 for some 18 months and operating well.

What is the size of your hard disk? PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine. Just a thought here.

Installing Solaris on Thinkpad 600 Laptop

I have installed Solaris 8 on my laptop which is an IBM Thinkpad 600. Unfortunately, I am unable to configure the X Windows as my graphics card (NeoMagic) does not seem to be recognized.
Has anyone got any thoughts on how to resolve this.
Furthermore, I also have a Compaq Pressario 1600 which has a similar problem (graphics card is a Trident).

I would check the HCL to see if any one has gotten the system installed on that board. ECS isn't known to be a good board for a lot reasons and you find out the reasons by searching.

Solaris installation on toshiba laptop along with windows

i installed solaris 10 on my toshiba laptop,having windows.The solaris get installed but i am able to use only through commands.the gui is not showing.while installation also the gui is not showing but when installed in virtual bow gui is showing at the time of installation and after installation i am able to use the gui of solaris 10 and works fine.dont know what is the reason while installing on laptop directly

The reason is simple why it's work on VirtualBox. In VBox, this software emulates a generic graphical chipset. In one phrase, we have the same chipset for each machine type.
Look if Solaris 10 can run with VESA driver and when not you can still share the chipset reference that you have and I can try to see if this is supported or not.

Install Solaris 8 on Gateway Laptop with Windows XP

I have Gateway laptop with Windows XP pre-installed. Now I want to install Solaris 8 without removing the Windows XP. I wanted to use dual boot option. Can any body advice me if there is any whit paper on this subject(with step by step insturctions). I have partition magic but it can only partition and format to NTFS, FAT, FAT32 and Ext2 (linux only).
Thanks for your help.

It can be done but the biggest stump is the network interface. I've an Acer 350 series with a built-in NIC. I also use XFree86 because the Xsun doesn't recognize the video card. The biggest problem in getting Solaris x86 working is getting the network interface to work, since the PCMCIA support is horrible. You need to be sure the the components on your laptop conform to the HCL. As for X, just use XFree86.

Solaris 10 install on Intel Centrino laptop

Greetings all:
Can someone tell me if it's possible to install Solaris 10 to a Intel Pentium M 730 processor with i915PM/GM/GMS chipset? I tried to install Linux FC4, but the network/wireless and USB won't work, so I'm thinking in installing Solaris 10 to my laptop. Is there any doc about installing to laptop (any FAQ or how-to?). I'm new to this so please bear with me.
Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions.

Sorry, assumed you needed an even amount of equal dimm's, but this is not the case.
C-14 Sun Blade 100 Service Manual � October 2000:
The system has four DIMM slots on the motherboard. Because the memory data bus width is equal to the
DIMMs (64-bit data, plus 8-bit ECC) they can be installed one at a time and with mixed sizes.
Please also see notes:

Have looked for bugs in release notes and sun hardware, but found none related to your issue.
You might try if this will give you better results!

Solaris 7 on Toshiba 8100 notebook ?

Hi,
Has anyone has the experience of installing solaris 7 on Toshiba 8100 laptop? or knows anywhere can download the driver for that model? My problem is solaris always say unknow monitor type when installing and I can not find the monitor type from the existing monitor list.
Any advice will be appreciated.

I have Toshiba Tecra 8100 with RedHat 6.2 installed.
I wouldn't try to get Solaris 7-8 running there though.
Toshiba Tecra 8100 has an S3 Savage MX / 8Mb card
(a crapy one, ATI were much better in 8000 series)
You don't have to run X Windows in installation just
run install in text mode (which is avialable).
After install completed, go to -s mode and remove /etc/rc3.d/S9?dtlogin. You'll have a working Solaris at
that point.
Then you have 2 options: first get XFree86 running
and grab configs from Linux on Laptops page for
S3 Savage MX; second option is to purchase Accelerated X
server for Solaris from www.xig.com (150$). They support
S3 Savage. (I personaly would go with Accelerated X option).

How to connect a HP LaserJet Printer P1102w to my Toshiba Laptop

I have just bought a LaserJet P1102w printer, but i cant seem to install it on my Toshiba laptop (or a HP laptop). I have tried the instruction that came with the product, the disc, the HP website, HP help support in Sydney (Who couldnt even install it when he logged into my computer). I have tried 2 different cables. but as soon as it get to the bit saying "waiting for you to connect the device", thats where it stops. (on both computers). The guy at HP told me to take the printer back and get another one as it might be a hardware problem. But this new one still does the same. I have however been able to print a test page by holding down the X button. I am starting to get really frustrated now. Could anyone help me ?? Thanks

Thanks for the reply . I have been only plugging in the cable when asked for and not at the beginning. However just tried again (for the millionth time lol) and still not happening

Problem when installing Solaris 10

I've read that there is a post with the same problem I have, but I found no solution there.
So I made this tread, hoping someone willing to help me.
OK, here is the story...
I have tried several times to install Solaris 10, from DVD to my laptop Dell Latitude C400.
(I've run the hardware compatibilty check routine, and it's OK except the video card)
After I made the partition, then rebooted using the DVD and the Solaris seems to load normally.
It apperas the Grub menu, then I choosed Solaris option.
But after that it just stops on a screen that says:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_118844-26 32-bit
Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
And it just hangs, nothing more...
Any idea what should I do to install Solaris successfully...???
Thanks in advance

Hi Darren,
Thanks God I've succesfully installed Solaris 10 to my laptop, after "swimming" for a while in google :)
It said that this was a bug of Solaris 10 when installed in PC with Pentium III or II processors.
Here is the solutions (hope someone with same problem with me could find it useful) :
1. After the GRUB menu appears, edit the kernel line then append -kd at the end (to enter kmdb upon boot), then boot
2. Then type this command when kmdb prompt shows, [0]>
[0]> cmi_no_init/W1
[0]> :c 3. It should boot and run without problem, then follow the installation menu and option
4. After reboot, again follow step 1 & 2 when GRUB menu shows. I promise this is the last time :)
5. To make it permanent, add this following instruction to */etc/system* once the system up
set cmi_no_init=1//Henry

Solaris installation on amd64 laptop

Hi!
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a laptop (HP Pavilion zv6000 with an amd64 processor).
The installation begins normally with GRUB. The problems I a experiencing start when I have the opportunity to choose between 'Solaris interactive', 'Custom jumpstart' and take place whatever is the choice I made with GRUB (Solaris, ttya or ttyb).
The screen becomes almost unreadable. Strange characters are displayed and many others are missing. It is also impossible to interact with the system using the keyboard. The only way to proceed is to wait to reach the timeout to select automatically the default option.
Moreover the installation freezes randomly, sometimes during the countdown (after which 'Solaris interactive' is chosen by default) or afterwards... But this always takes place at different times. Anyway I cannot read what is displayed on the screen.
Would you have any ideas?
Thank you very much!

The reason is simple why it's work on VirtualBox. In VBox, this software emulates a generic graphical chipset. In one phrase, we have the same chipset for each machine type.
Look if Solaris 10 can run with VESA driver and when not you can still share the chipset reference that you have and I can try to see if this is supported or not.

Problem when installing Solaris 7

Hi, I face a problem just the same as what Geraldin did, no-VTOC, except that I install from CD-ROM:
when I installed Solaris 7, I've got an error that it was unable to mount a root file: CD.
What is it? Am I need to delete all partitions using fdisk just like Geraldin, before installing Solaris?
Thanks.
