Portege 7200: Need an compatible CD-RW burner

Hi
i bought the above notebook portege 7200 on ebay and don't have any trouble with it but does anyone know if its possible to upgrade the dvd rom to a CD-RW burner.
Don't know if i got that right, as i use a lot of midi karaoke files.
I thought it would be a good idea to find out if its possible to upgrade the drive.
I have Windows 2000, xp home edition installed and a 100GB HDD.
Any help would be welcome.
I know i could get a USB external drive but i don't really want the hastle of extra leads.
All the best john.

I am using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8. I need a compatible CD/DVD burner. Can someone recommend one?

Can someone recommend a compatible CD/DVD burner for a MacBook Pro? I have returned two burners, so far, that were not compatible,.

True to the extent that out of the box they indeed will not work with Macs other than Airs and Retinas. However a minor modification WILL make them compatible with other Macs. Here are the instructions:

Portege 7200 multiple problems

Hello,
This is my last ditch attempt to try and get some sort of fix for my Portege 7200.
I will try and explain the best I can, so here goes.
I had a dual boot system (Linux & Win98), did not want Linux anymore so formated HD and re-installed Win98.
Everything is working except for a few problems which I hope you guys can help with.
1. On startup (before windows logon) I get prompted with cannot find VREDIR.VXD along with some other VXD files.
2. Screen display does not like the Trident Cyberblade e4-128 PCI/AGP adaptor. Only installed the driver as was following instuction on the Toshiba tools and utilities cd-rom. Keep get prompted to change my display setting on startup. Once logged into windows the screen does not fit the whole monitor (black border). Have used the companion disk one receives with the Portege to stretch the LCD screen. The screen is bigger but quality of display is poor.
Can anyone help on anyone of the point above as I am at a loss.
Kind regards
Joe
P.s. If there is anymore clarification or info needed then pls let me know and i'll try my best to obtain it.

Hi,
have you observed the installation order for Windows 98 (SE) ?
* Installation Information for Windows 98SE
o INF-Update
o Quick Fix Engineering
o Displaydriver
o Direct X
o Sound-Driver
o Toshiba Companion Disc
o Toshiba Modem Driver
o Toshiba Infrared Driver
o Mousedriver
o LAN-Driver
o DVD Software
It could be possible that some Functions can't be used or some Drivers can't be installed if not all INF-Updates and Quick Fix Engineering successfully installed.
bye

Re: Portege M200: Need boot disk to boot Win XP

Hi all
I'm looking for a floppy boot disk to boot XP tablet edition 2005 on my Portege M200,
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Hi
You need boot disk??
I wonder why you need such disk?
I think you dont know one fact. The boot disk in not needed but you need an compatible CD/DVD drive if you want to boot from the CD or DVD.
The Portege M200 supports the Recovery via BIOS (pressing "C") with USB 2.0 and PCMCIA cards (16bit and Cardbus).
_Following drives and Controllers (USB, PCMCIA) can be used:_
a) Toshiba, PA3352E-SCD2, USB2.0 CD-RW/DVD-Rom Drive
b) Toshiba, PA3402E-1DV2 USB2.0 DVD Super Multi Drive, SN: 5362870112
c) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with a PC Card (16bit), Cable II, PCMCIA, Rev.043.242, SN: 18496 043 3999 0343 01093
d) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with a CardBus, Cable II, CARD BUS, Rev.136, SN: 16693 136 3999 0149 06122
The setting of "PC Card Controller Mode" in the BIOS should be "Auto-Selected".
This means, that you have nothing to change in the BIOS, because it is the default value.

Portege 7200 pci scsi controller missing

Can somebody help me with the following problem. A friend of mine has got a protege 7200. He had it reinstalled by Toshiba. Now when he starts it up it aks for the pci scsi bus controller drivers.
Since he probably needs these to access his external cd-rom drive he can't access the windows cd. Does anybody know where the drivers are located or where to find them?

Portege 7200 256Mb RAM - Where from????

Hi,
Picked up a Portege 7200 running XP dirt cheap, it's currently got 128Mb RAM which I want to replace with a 256Mb, where the hell can I find one that isn't priced the same as a new laptop???
Thanks!
Lee

Hi
The notebook is an oldie and all parts devices are also not more highly available!
The notebook supports 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM memory modules.
I found one module for about 63
Check this page:

I would recommend searching on some Online shop sites for best offer or to get a second hand one from Ebay

Portege 7200 doesn't recognize external memory

I had downloaded Windows XP on my Portege 7200 (with 256 MB external memory) and it worked well. Suddenly, it started overheating and was extremely sluggish. I reformatted the disk, downloaded XP again and it appears to work well, even though slowly;
however it refuses to acknowledge the extrernal memory and appears to be working with the 64 MB internal memory only.
Is this an external memory (hardware) port problem or can I do something to fix this?

Hi
I have the same problem with a portege 7220.
I took out the 64MB Module and replaced it with a 256 MB Module. First it worked, but suddenly it did not recognized the module anymore. Even if I put back the old 64 MB module the bios only recognizes the built in 64 MB.
I tried to update the bios, but this did not worked as well. The system does not access the floppy disk in the docking station.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Walter

Need apps compatible with ios 4.2.1

need apps compatible with ios 4.2.1

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Portege 7200 does not use full display

Have loaded windows 98SE onto portege 7200 (model number PP720E-6390W-EN) and cannot get the display to use full screen.
I have downloaded display-win9x-650554022icd driver but there is no '.exe' file to initiate the installation. Any ideas?
cheers

Hi,
what a kind of file was there? Maybe an *.inf file? If a such and *.inf file is existent then everything is alright. Just go to the device manager and to the graphics device,
go to install new driver and then when windows is asking for an driver, just define the folder where the drivers are as the driver destination.
Windows should take the driver and install it.

Do I need an Apple Superdrive to burn DvDs on my Macbook Air?

I have tried numerous Internet applications and none of them have worked. I have an ASUS export drive but whenever I try to burn, it just burns the data and not the actual movie.

To add to the post above. It is not the drive you are using, any external dvd drive will work on any computer. As above you need a special program to burn movies to a dvd disc so they can be played in a dvd player.
Oh I meant any dvd drive other than a apple superdrive. Apple has restricted those to only work on certain mac computers, the airs models being one of them. But any other brand will work fine on any computer.

350MB songs in Itunes needs 4 CD's for burning. Why?

My playlist in Itunes shows that I have 100 songs, with the size of 350 MB.
When I burn a cd I need 4 CD's to burn them on
Why? One should be enough. Or not?

What format are the songs in iTunes? Compressed files such as AAC or MP3 are uncompressed when you create an Audio CD so that essentially they become full sized CD (Aiff) type files that can be played on your CD player. If you are unsure of the format add the Kind column to your Library view in iTunes and you'll be able to tell what type of files they are. Right click at the top of any column and choose Kind from the menu.

Also need a good Blue ray burner

Also, need a good blueray burner. Best Buy has got nothing that looks like much (can cheap be good?) Anyone have a recommendation. I expected to pay $2-4 hundred???

I use this one in the second optical drive bay of my Mac Pro: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/LG/WH10LS30KMP/
Note that if you plan to create playable Blu-ray discs, you will also need Blu-ray authoring and burning software like Toast 10 Pro or Adobe Encore.
