Portege 3440CT freezes after some time while the files are being copied

Hello all :)
It seems I'm having the same problem as missred in this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232 (on the bottom). Unfortunatelly I can't reply there that's why I'm writing here. My laptop version is 3440CT.
My try was to make a win98 bootable HD drive with i386 directory on it, boot from this disk and start the installation with winnt.exe. OK, it works but while the files are being copied after some time it just freezes. I tried it both with one partition and i386 on active system partition and with two partitions and i386 on a separate non-system partition. I don't have FDD or CD for the laptop.
Any ideas what is wrong? Is it possible to install XP on the same disk the XP installation is started from?
Can't wait for your replies ;)
dzi
PS: My other tries were:
- complete XP installation on another computer and then switching the drive
- XP installation on another computer up to the point it first resets (after finishing of coping the installation files) and then switching the drive
both unsuccessful. I also changed the drive to another one as I suspected it's phisically damaged. Now I'm out of ideas ;)

It should work out this way, so........ is it really freezing or did you forget to include "smartdrive" ?
Be sure to include the file in the root-directory of your HD and put the right command in your autoexec.bat file
In the link you refer to you can find all the details
and ...... yes, you can install XP on the same HD the installation is starting from

    That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
    Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.

  • Recording CD's but the files are being locked all of a sudden

    I must have hit a button I am not aware of because when I am recording my CD's to burn the files are coming out locked all of a sudden.
    Never did this before.
    How do I fix this and reset it so the files ar not locked?
    Thanks.

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen, click the "copy to clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

  • Read and write at the same time. Or: Read while the file is being written.

    Hello
    I'm a student working on a live streaming project. The video i get should be streamed live, so i have to read the file from disk while it is written.
    When I try to do this I get an access denied or permission denied (i can provide the detailed error if you need it) which seems obvious to me. Still, is there a way around this?
    The file which i try to read is monotonically increasing in size, so it's not a 4gb file which is truncated at the end of the video recording.
    I hope someone can help
    thanks

    So you are getting the Stream from one source, writing to a file, then also steaming it live to a client?
    I would use threads, 3 of them I think:
    1) Read content from the input stream and send it into two different PippedOutputStreams
    2) A consumer thread attached to the end of one of the PippedInputStreams linked to #1 that streams to the client
    3) A consumer thread attached to the end of the second PippedInputStream linked to #1 that streams to the file

  • TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

    I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

    If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected.  Try ejecting again after the restart.
    If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage.  When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes.  This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
    If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

  • E1000 Router Wireless signal will disappear after some time

    Hi,
    I have set up the E1000 this week, i found that the wireless signal would disappear after some time if the wireless connection is not in use.
    For example, on my iphone
    1. I search for the wireless signal and successfully got the IP
    2. after using for some time, i put the iphone aside
    3. when i want to use the wireless again, the iphone is not yet connected to the wireless 
    4. i would then need to search for the wireless signal and connect again.
    This causes problems because i am using some VPN connection at my laptop and it would disconnect it.
    Is there any config that would keep the wireless signal ?
    Thanks!

    Try changing the wireless channel on the router.
    Also try to change some advanced wireless settings on the router. Click on Wireless tab and go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.
    See if that helps you.

  • Urgent : MDB stops listening to the queues after some time  !!!

    Hi,
    I am using OJMS with OC4J 10.1.2 and db 9.2.0.5. I have a web application which send messages into the queue very frequently.
    But the problem is the MDBs stop listening to the queues after some time (1-2 days) and no more messages will be dequeued from that point.
    All these messages will move to the exception queue after their expiry.
    But the dequeing agains resumes after restarting the OC4J !.
    I guess, at some point mdbs are either becoming busy (locked ) or some exception occured while dequeing, hence they stop listening to the queues.
    Please throw some light on this issue as it is very crucial in my project.
    Regards
    Prashanth

    I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
    What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

    Hello there, Kishoresaraogi.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps to troubleshoot your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • How the files are decreasing from RBS storage after some time i delete docs from document library, where shld I check the settings for this?

    HI
    I created a web application and configured  rbs storage ,
    I uploaded documents (for ex: 18 number)
     after uploaded  documents ,  and observed the RBS storage folder, number of files are increasing (39 number) , its working fine
    and also  I run the querys to check the rows increasing or not , (when I upload new doc rows are increased its fine also)
    select count(*) from alldocs
    Select count(*) from AllDocstreams
    but when I delete some docs from document library ,
    1)the doc itself deleted from document library
    2)when I check the rbs storage  there is no number of files are decreased(its still 39 files ), its same as  before doc deleted from doc library
    after some time I found the number of files are decreasing from RBS storage folder in sql server,
    here I want to know the how the files are decreasing from RBS storage  after some time, where  shld I check the settings for this? and how I control on it
    here how I know the settings for cleaning up orphan BLBOS how  these deleted BLOB
    adil

    1. WHen you delete the file from Sharepoint, it is still present in Recycle bin. This is a default setting in sharepoint for 30 days. Once files are deleted fro Recycle bin, it can also be delete from RBS
    2. There is a RBS cleanup job which deletes files from RBS. for more info check

  • My Iphone 3G stopped booting and failed to start. After some time, I have restored the Iphone OS using Itunes (ver 4.2). Itunes restored it successfully, but the Iphone didn't responded and remained the same.except apple logo, nothing is displayed.

    Hi,
    I have an Iphone 3G.
    Its 9 months old mobile and it has OS 4.2 in it.
    When I am accessing wi-fi, suddenly the display went-off and then I was not able to start my phone again.
    Later I tried to restore and update the Iphone using Itunes.
    I have updated the Itunes.
    Using hard-reset, I tried to restore the OS and did the same successfully.
    After installing the same over my Iphone 3G, I didnt recieved any intimation for completion of the process, besides, I was not able to start the mobile even I have reset the OS.
    when I push the wake-up button, I am able to see the Apple Logo and after some time, it goes off and remains idle with no more display.
    I tried to reset OS twice, it remained the same.
    Can any one help me here with this issue.
    I am not even able to figure-out the cause of the problem.
    Thanks in advance.
