Portege R500 - Can't install built-in Bluetooth drivers in XP

I've recently installed XP, and all is well (except for having to switch the drive into compatability mode to solve the SATA issue) except for one thing that is driving mee up a wall: I can't install the Bluetooth stack. It gets to the point where it asks me to plug in the device, but that's it.
I downloaded first the stack in my model's download page (6.1), and then later on 6.4 from Toshiba's Bluetooth support page -- neither one works. I tried the Bluetooth Monitor, this appears to do nothing except delete the Bluetooth items from out of the Toshiba program menu.
Right now, there is a yellow antenna icon lit up in the track pad LED display.
Pressing FN-F8 appears to do nothing (also, the wifi is working fine using Intel drivers).
The BIOS was recently updated to the latest version.

Hi
First of all are you sure that your notebook has been equipped with the internal BT module?
Can you see some BT labels at the bottom of the unit?
If the notebook supports the internal BT module then the BT stack installation should run smoothly.
After executing the exe in BT stack folder/package the installation should run through all the installation steps and after new reboot you should enable the BT using the key combination FN+F8.
Using this buttons you can switch between Wlan and BT. Choosing BT you should be able to configure the BT.

Portege S100: Can't install Toshiba SD Host to use Toshiba Bluetooth SD Card2

I'm trying to install the Toshiba Bluetooth SD Card2 onto my Portege S100 but I can't get it to work, i get the error
"Could not open the Bluetooth ACPI device driver (tosrfec.sys). Try again?)
which suggests that the SD slot is not reading the card. I then went onto the Toshiba bluetooth section and found the driver files for the Toshiba SD Host Controller Driver (at http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/). I believe that I should install this as the Host Controller Driver, and not the SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller.
However, when i try to update the Driver, selecting specifically the folder of the Toshiba Host Controller Driver, it says that it couldn't find a better match than the one installed already. Therefore, I decided to install it manually, but instead, i get the error
"The specific location does not contain any information about your hardware"
I've run out of ideas, can anyone help me please?
Thank you

Portege R500 - Bluescreen after installing WXP SP3

*laptop toshiba Portege R500*
*model-no ppr50e00j00fs4*
Installed SP3 via update-site, got message SP3 sucessfull installed please restart ... now bluescreen an no possibility to restart! Not even in save mode!
If I try to start with the installationdisk I get the following message:

Can someone help me please?

Hmmm. seems this is known issue by Microsoft because I found these MS knwoldge base article:
How to troubleshoot a Stop 0x0000007E error in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330182/EN-US/
Microsoft said that:
+these issues may occur if a system thread generates an exception that the error handler does not catch. You receive this error message if one or more of the following conditions are true:+
+ If this issue occurs after the first restart during Windows Setup, or after the Setup program is finished, the computer may not have sufficient hard disk space to run Windows.+
+ If this issue occurs after the first restart during Windows Setup, or after Setup is complete, the computer BIOS may be incompatible with Windows.+
+ Incompatible video adapter drivers.+
+ A damaged device driver or system service.+
+ If the issue is associated with the Win32k.sys file, it may be caused by a third-party remote control program+.
I would recommend checking the solution proposals published on the MS website.

Be sure the BT module is on.

Reset the SMC.

Portege M400: Can I install a Western Digital SATA drive?

Can I install a Western Digital SATA drive in my Portege M400?
I've tried and failed.
I can copy the system resore CD to the new HD but the result is a blue-screen failure when the system boots.
I can't get a clean install of Windows XP to even start -- the HD is not recognised despite using the Toshiba SATA/RAID drivers from a floppy.
I've tried using Norton Ghost to copy an image of the existing (working) HD to the new HD but that also results in a blue-screen failure.
Is there something proprietary about the SATA?
Will the laptop only work with the original HD?
Will a replacement (larger) Toshiba HD work?
-ne

Power down the notebook and start it pressed ESC key.
On the third bios page (pg down) you find the raid configuration.
I assume you actually have already the RAID setting but it is not really written to the HDD.
At first remove the RAID and change to JOBD the password confirmation 1234.
Save settings und reboot. Enter bios again and change it from JOBD to RAID (again 1234).
After this your HDD will work fine!

Portege R500 - Can I change the SSD?

Hi. Have issue of replacing, replace ssd.
I got PORTEGE R500 (version PPR50U-02M01W) with SAMSUNG_MCCOE64GQMPQ_SE805B0137. It has only 64 GB.
I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace with something bigger, they said it's impossible! HOW SO? It should be possible to replace 64GB SSD to 256GB SSD!
If somebody can give me the link to SSD, which gonna fit 100% in my existing ssd will be very thankful!

Technical guys said for my model (I gave part.nr. serial.nr.) it is impossible to replace existing ssd with larger ssd!
I asked, how much it gonna be USD to replace lets say 128 GB or 256 GB.
I contacted with local Toshiba service in my country .
No problems with the service so far, execpt one stupid question after all fixes lady is calling in NON-OFFICIAL language and asks how was the service.
Hate that otherwise perfect Toshiba service.
And also in this case they said IMPOSSIBLE Toshiba service can not offer for this model larger ssd.
This is funny also for me. Because in ebay it's easy to find any kinds of ssd evn 1.8 inch.
I just dont want to buy something, which does not 100% fit in.

Portege R500 - Can only connect to no-protected WLAN

Hallo everybody
My Portege R500 (win XP pro 32) has a very strange thing.
It has absolute no problems to access to any no-protected WLAN, but with the D-Link DI-524 gateway in WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Channel 6 mode,
it faults the IP assignement many times (from 30 min to 1 hour or more), before receive the access to the LAN.
The gaeway reports: Disassociated [MAC ADDRESS] because WPA retey failed
The R500 is configured exactly as all the other notebooks. No other notebook has problem to access the WLAN, even during the R500 fault.
Often the WLAN will be detected from R500 with the maximum power level, and after few minuts later no WLAN appears available.
I think there is a driver problem with WXPpro in the authentication procedure:
The Wlan is the Intel 4965AGN
The driver is the NETw4x32.sys ver.11.1.1.16
Help me please...

Hi
I completely agree with Akuma. Try all what he posted and see what happens.
Furthermore if you use the forum search you will find enough threads about WLAN issues.
Last but not least if you use Vista you should disable the power saving function of the WLAN card.

hi Tokarq,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you're getting the "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" or "A media driver your computer needs is missing" error when installing Windows then you may want to check this microsoft article as it maybe caused by one of the following:
- The installation DVD is removed during the setup process.
- A low-quality DVD was used to create the installation DVD.
- The speed at which the installation DVD was burned was too fast.
- The DVD drive cannot read the media.
- The ISO file is corrupted.
In addition, you can also try these steps:
1. If you downloaded the Win7 64-bit ISO from the microsoft website, verify that the ISO is not corrupted by comparing the MD5 / SHA1 Hash from the microsoft site. To get the hash, download and install the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier and foillow this guide.
2. If you're using a Win7 64-bit DVD installer, try to follow this guide on how to create a bootable Windows 7 64-bit USB installer and use the USB 2.0 port to install Windows.

Portege Z830: Can't install Win7, complains about missing CD/DVD driver

Hi!
I have a brand new Portege Z830 and as usual wanted to start with installing a new installation of Windows 7 x64 (as I don't want the supplied software and can't trust that it is safe anyway). I backed up the entire drive, prepared a bootable USB flashdisk with Windows installation and started it. The flashdisk boots OK, Windows ask me about my preferred language and keyboard, then shows a screen where I can choose between Install, Repair and something else (Recovery Console, I think).
I click Install, Windows starts the installation program aand as soon as a first dialog appears, it shows an error message which says essentially this (it's a translation of my localized Windows' message): "A required driver for CD/DVD drive is missing. If you use a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or flashdisk, insert it now." And I can't get over this error message. The strange thing is, there is no reason for Windows to require any extra drivers, as it can (apparently) read the installation flashdisk and it can see the ultrabook's SSD, too (can be verified both in the recovery console and by clicking the Browse button of this dialog). So far I tried:
1) Four different Windows 7 images (two of them from MSDN AA, two physical, all of which have been successfully used to install the OS before).
2) Switch SATA mode from AHCI to Compatible.
3) Two different flashdisks.
4) All possible combinations of boot order.
Nothing worked. I even tried e-mailing Toshiba, but all messages come back with "user unknown" (understandable, I had to guess the addresses since Toshiba doesn't seem to provide any official way to contact them - or is hiding it so well I couldn't find it). Does anyone have any idea what I could try next? I rather like the Z830 and would love to use it, but the ability to install my own installation of the OS is essential for me.
Thanks, Pepak

> I even tried e-mailing Toshiba...
Maybe stupid question now but have you tried to contact Microsoft too? If BIOS is OK and if all USB ports are working properly I dont think it is Toshiba related issue. Toshiba offers notebook with original recovery image (WIN7 64BIT HOME PREMIUM) and possibility to create bootable USB with recovery image that can be used anytime you want.
What you do now is your own OS installation. What Toshiba must do is to offer all important drivers, tools and utilities on drivers download page.
What else you can try? Try to obtain external USB ODD and try to install WIN7 using Microsoft installation disc. Im pretty sure this will work.

Portege 3110CT - Can I install Windows XP?

Toshiba Forum,
Someone just asked me if I can bring their Toshiba Portege 3110CT back to life. It did have Windows Me and my plan is to install Windows XP Home, I have a disc and Key #, but I'm concerned about getting all the drivers.
I looked on the Toshiba web site and all the drivers are for windoes 95 or 98 and 2000. Is there a BIOS update available for this?
Any advice rather than throwing it away.
Thanks,
Jerryd

Hi Jerryd,
Why you want to update the BIOS if you install only Windows XP?
Its not depending on the BIOS, its depending on the drivers that you need for Windows XP. Maybe some Windows 2000 drivers will work but you have to test this yourself. Otherwise you have to collect the XP drivers on external websites.
By the way: Is Windows 2000 also an option? It also runs stable and fast as XP but therefore you can get the drivers from Toshiba directly.

Portege 3440 - Can't install Windows 2000

Hello friends :)
I have problem with installation Windows 2000 on Portege 3440.
I was running installation Windows 2000 with FDD USBB (with driver for CD-ROM PCMCIA) and CD-ROM PCMCIA. All was ok to moment when I entered to winnt" on q.
During installation without partition on HDD was appeared information on blue background: "could not find a place for a swap file. With partition (FAT32, 6GB): " Setup was unable to install Windows Boot Loader. Ensure that your C: drive is formatted and that drive is not damaged." I was tried with three other HDDss.
What I must do to install this system? (Same users don't have such communiques)
Thanks for help

so your harddisk isn't bootable ...?
Most likely there is a problem with the MBR ( = master boot record )
Do the following :
*Download BootIt NG ( free, use google ) and transfer it to a bootable diskette
*Start up with your FDD, run ( do not install ! ) BootIt NG, delete the MBR, make a newMBR and format your HD to fat32
then :
*start-up with the fdd-DOS-bootdisk and transfer the DOS-system files to the HD with the command : *sys c:*
*remove all peripherals ( the fdd and the pcmcia-cdrom ) and reboot, your PC should boot with the DOS-files
*if so : transfer the i386 dir from the W2K-install-CD to the HD again ( may be done on another PC )
*boot again with the HD, with no external drives connected
*go to the i386 dir and start winnt.exe ;
commands :
*cd i386*
*winnt*
if this method isn't succesfull, I presume there must be a hardware-problem with the HD

Portege 2000,can't install windows,ide errors

Any help much appreciated.....
previous owner wiped the 20gb hard disk. Have the Toshiba pcmcia drive. Flashed latest bios. It will boot from xp or 2000 cd no problem,however both OSs stop at the start with bsod (2000 gives inacessible_boot device).
Tried with ME but the cdrom driver isnt the right one(doesnt load the cdrom drive). In a situation like this I normally remove the drive and install(with hdd adaptor) in a pc to format and copy the OS files then replace the drive and run setup from the hdd but this has a 1.8" drive and I have no adaptor.
HELP!!!
Mick

Hi Tyson,
Sorry but I am a little confused about your explanation. If I understand you right, you bought used Protg 200 with external Toshiba CD-ROM device (PCMCIA) and you try to reinstall it?
Do I understand you correctly?
As far as I know in original Toshiba Recovery CD there is driver for external "TOSHIBA CD-ROM" (PCMCIA/CARDBUS) and it will be loaded at begin of recovery procedure. If it works with non Toshiba devices it is unknown to me. If you want to reinstall OS without original Toshiba CD you must start the notebook using start disc with right driver for external device.
Like you said the best solution is to start setup from HDD. You must a Google a little bit around and I am sure that you can find one for you. Please check this site
http://www.addonics.com/products/Saturn/aesed.asp . There is described that the optional 2.5" converter kit can be used for 2.5" or 1.8" IDE hard drive.

Portege R500 - How to install 3G-drivers on Windows 7?

I have the PPR50E with the built in 3g-card.
I am unable to install the vista-drivers for the 3g-card, and I haven't found anything on google either.
Anyone gotten it to work on windows 7?

Hi
Did you try to install the 3G driver/software released for the Vista OS.
Did it work on Win 7?
I noticed that many Vista drivers and tools would be compatible with Win 7.
It seems that the 3G module is from Novatel.
I found the Novatel software on the Toshiba European page.
Check it!

Portege R500 - Can I use 3GB RAM?

Hallo,
may I ask if there is a way to boot with 3GB RAM, so to use the the 1GB that it won't be able to see as ramdisk?
Thanks.

I know that it can see only 2gb, the problem is that you cannot install a total of 3gb because it doesn't boot.
If it could boot, i would still see 2gb ram, however maybe i could use the extra 1gb as ramdisk, which if i create it
now i will have to subtract it from the 2gb that it has.
So the question is can i boot it somehow with 3gb which right now i can't?
Thanks.
