Install New OS via PCmcia CD ROM on Portege 3110CT

Hi there ,
I really hope someone can help me as I am going out of my mind trying to install a new OS on my Portege 3110CT
So far I have tried Windows 98, 98SE and 2000, I can get them all to install via a dos driver for the PCMCIA card I found but it misses installing some plug and play drivers late in the install. But once installed I cannot get the PCMCIA card recognized in windows and I cannot get my display to fill the screen. I have tried to update the drivers supplied by Toshiba but none of them work
I have tried copying the CD contents to a second partition on my hard drive and installing from there also
Whenever I try to update the drivers it always says it has found a better one in the windows files and uses that.
I have been through all the forums and tried the methods suggested but I must be doing something wrong. The companion diskette does not work either.
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris
One thing that I haven't done is update my bios as I've never done this and I am unsure as to leave my PCMCIA card plugged in , but I have read that I have to in order for the bios to recognize it.

I have downloaded all the drivers for win98 and win2000 , and they just don't work
For windows 98 the trident display driver won't install it says it has a better match and uses the one in C:\windows\inf\monitor.inf
The PC card driver has a setup.exe , that will not work if the card is half installed but not working , I have removed the card and used plug and play , when it asks me for the location with the driver , I point it to the folder where i unzipped the priviously tried setup and driver and it says there is no driver there !!

  • PCMCIA CD-ROM installation (Portege 3440)

    Hi.
    I'm have a small problem getting my Portege 3440 to recognise the cd rom drive.
    I have accessed the dossetup and started to transfer the files on to the newly formatted c drive.
    However, the installation gets to 10 % then stops, and says that the destination drive is either full or write protected.
    As i have formatted the drive, i know that there is at least 6 gig of space.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as i'm now stumpped and my head is getting soar from scratching it..

    Hello
    I assume that you try to install OS using Microsoft full version CD because if you use the recovery CD it should not happen. I have really no idea why this happen. Please check again the capacity of partition C:
    If you want you can also copy the whole CD on second partition and start the installation without using external device.
    Bye

  • Phone resets self after installing new apps

    Every since 2.0.1 when I install new apps via iTunes sync my phone reboots. The sync does not finsh before rebooting either it just installs the apps reboots the phone and the apps are on there when it comes back on, but i have to re-sync to get the rest done i.e. music/videos.
    Anyone having this happen?
    This is the iPhone 3g

    ALSO.. I thought backups were supposed to be a little quicker with 2.0.1 well... it used to take around 20-30 minutes.. NOW it takes 2-3 hours ?!?

  • Portege 2000 - fresh XP install using PCMCIA CD-ROM

    I am trying to install XP on a Portege 2000 using the official Toshiba PCMCIA CD-ROM drive.
    The XP install disk boots fine but after Setup has copied files it blue screens (BSOD). I am not very tech savvy but I think this means that the BIOS can "see" the PCMCIA CD-ROM but that the actual XP image loaded by the Setup cannot, probably due to missing drivers for the PCMCIA CD-ROM?
    I then thought that perhaps I could use F6 to load extra drivers during the initial setup, but it is beyond me to create the right set of files required. I know you can download Freecom drivers but I don't know which of the CD driver files to use and how to author from scratch the right txtsetup.oem file.
    Does anyone know how to successfully use F6 and load drivers for this?
    I have found lots of posts suggesting I copy the setup to the HDD and run the setup from there. My problem is that the XP install is an Upgrade CD, so I will be asked at some point to insert a previous Windows CD and if at that point I do not have a working CD-ROM drive...
    First post in this forum so be gentle -- I have done a search but not found a thread with an actual solution, but obviously if I have missed one please point it out!

    Toshiba is not interested in providing recovery disks for such an old, out-of-warranty and discontinued model.
    I ended up doing the following:
    1. On another computer, download XP SP3 iso image from Microsoft.
    2. Extract the files and run nLite to integrate latest hotixes (package from RyanVM.net).
    3. Modify the resulting set of XP installation files to make it an OEM SLP package that will automatically activate upon install (Google OEMBIOS).
    4. Take the hard drive out of the P2000, attach it via a USB caddy to the other computer, format the drive with two partitions of which the first one _not_ mapped to a drive letter, use "winnt32 /syspart:<drive> /tempfiles:<drive> /makelocalsource /noreboot" to copy across all the XP installation files created in steps 1-3 to the second partition and make that partition bootable. Use the product key officially provided by Microsoft for SLP installations when asked.
    5. Put hard drive back into P2000 and boot. Setup will start from the second partition and you will be offered to install XP to the first.
    6. You've got an activated XP installation!
    You'll need to do a bit of Googling to figure out the exact steps but the steps above should help you find what you need. Since the machine came with XP originally and has a COA sticker underneath, I believe this method results in a legitimate XP install nut don't take my word for it...

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

    Sorry genius.....but if the Recovery disk shows up that means the disk cable isn't bad.  Could be he did have a screwed up HDD and when he put the NEW HDD in (after putting the OS on it via USB) the computer didn't reconize it and therefore didn't boot the OS.  Just maybe right genius?  Don't rush to criticize someone's recommendations until you realize other possibilities.  (I did say "if it does")

  • Access to all installed loops only via new "loops"-project

    Hi, I'm working with GB since its first appearence. Recently I tried to clean up my installed loops following Apple's advise. So they reside now where they are supposed to be, depending on their origin in
    .../GB/Apple Loops/
    or
    .../audio/Apple Loops/
    The indexes have been cleared and newly built too.
    Now, when I start a new project via the welcome screen, choosing "Loops", then I see all loops in the loops browser and I can use them all.
    When I start another kind of project or just tweak any old saved project, then only a few loops are to be seen.
    What am I doing wrong here? Some ideas? Thanks in advance!

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

    Hi everyone!
    I tried to update a few apps from my iPhone, and to install  new applications from APPSTORE. But i got a message :" Your Apple ID has been disabled"!!!!!!
    What can i do now? Can you help me please?
    The same thing happend with my IPAD....
    How can i do to function all this in the same way which was working till this problem appears.
    I want to mention that i have 2 email adresses asociated with the same Apple ID.
    wait for an feedback!
    Thanks a lot!

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
