Satellite P100-387: VT not available & USB flash booting issue

Hi everybody,
I bought this notebook but, I am very dissatisfied with following functions:
Processor supports VT (virtualization technology) but in bios isn't option for enable or disable and tools like securable (grc.com) or others show that this option is disabled.
I check bios version. My is last but i try to find out any information on bios vendor web and there is tool for bios check.
With this I discover that my bios isn't last and I need pay 38$ for access (3months) to new version.
I cannot boot from flash disks.
I am thinking about netbook and on first time I thing about toshiba nb 100.
But now I am not sure that it is good idea.
Do you know how to solve this problems?
Celebril

I can tell you only what this FAQ says;
Did the P100 series support the "Intel Virtualization Technology" (Intel VT)?
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7C02150000R02.htm
I dont know why the 3rd parties tools provide other results but why should I believe to some 3rd party tools which are not tested with this notebook??
You are right;
its strange that two applications provide this result but in my opinion it could be possible that the software cannot read and scan the BIOS settings properly
Finally, Toshiba said that this VT option is enabled and some 3rd party tools said that its not enabled
In my opinion I would believe to Toshiba
PS: if you have an older BIOS then you should udpate it firstly!!!

Fingerprint and remote control supported on Satellite P100-387

Does p100-387 have a fingerprint and remote control? Please, somebody answer me.
Thanks.

Hi
In my knowledge the Satellite P100-387 does not support the fingerprint reader and is not delivered with remote control.
But you are right.
The fingerprint and remote control are optional and some notebooks from the P100 series support the fingerprint reader and are delivered with remote control.
I found also this site with the hardware specification of P100-387:

Usb flash boot drive with mavericks is damaged cannot get another download from apple

Hello
I successfully downloaded Mavericks 10.9 onto my Macbook Pro and clean installed, when I went to carry out the same procedure on the Mac Mini the USB flash boot drive with the downloaded Mavericks was damaged. I cannot get another copy of Mavericks as Apple do not have downloads available. I do no wish to upgrade to Yosemite just yet. How can I get a copy of Mavericks, I did looked at my account and Mavericks is there any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

If it is in the Purchases tab of the App Store, you should be able to download it.

Display driver error while playing games on Satellite P100-387 PSPA3E

Hi,
I have a Satellite P-100 387 PSPA3E notebook (with Nvidia 7600 GO 256 MB) and no matter what game I play I get a stop error-blue screen of death all the time and must restart.
It happens while I play either "Command & Conquere-Tiberium Wars" or "Warcraft III" (which can run on ANY low end machine).Did the BIOS update and got the latest display driver from Toshiba support. Nothing. Also, Ive tryed ALL the driver versions from Nvidia and from LaptopVideo2go.com with modded inf-s.
Dont know what else to do so I post here before contacting Toshiba. I have a valid warranty on the machine. Running XP MediaCentar which came with it.
THX in advance!

I am heading to bed in a minute, but will look at driver details tomorrow.
I seem to remember that the latest BIOS update improved something to do with graphics.
Yes, I've got the 7600 go graphics card.
You have good ventilation to the laptop? (i.e. you don't have it running on a deep pile carpet, or on a big deep duvet or something?)
I tried the Nvidia drivers too but they dont work, it has to be the drivers from Toshiba.
Suggest you do a system restore, and if that does not help re-flash your BIOS
The link to the driver updates was good, but not for the laptop.

Cluster Not Available error when booting OVM server DOM0 from USB

Hi all,
I have been wanting to run OVM 2.2 from a USB stick for a while now. I ran through the install CD today and saw there was a 'minimal USB install' option on the installation screen. So I plugged in a 4GB USB stick, rebooted, and ran the USB install.
After a while, the install completed, OVM booted up perfectly it seemed, and I was happy.
The server had no local storage apart from this USB stick as we are going to be hooking it up to an iSCSI target for guest VM storage.
This was a new lab setup, so I got the VM Manager running on another system, connected to the USB booted OVM server, and went to create a pool.
Running the 'test connection' that worked fine.
Trying to add the pool - failed. I got the error 'Cluster Not Available'
On the OVM server I did a repos.py -l and nothing gets listed.
I understand that for HA you need a repository with shared storage. However, before I have used these same install CDs with a singe local hard disk, to get OVM server running, and it did so fine.
So what's different with the USB disk install that means you don't get a repository?
Do I have to create a special repository LUN, manually connect the OVM server to this, and then use repos.py to create it?
Cheers,
Jeff

Ok I have read, re-read related parts of the underground manual and have hit a brick wall with the 'simple' task of setting up a NIC for dedicated iSCSI traffic. The manual does not cover this task in the iSCSI SAN section.
So I'm in a catch 22.
My OVM server boots up, with it's single management NIC configured, but once booted - I don't want to connect to the iSCSI target via this network - I need it completely closed off.
I want to use another NIC (or bond of two) for dedicated iSCSI traffic to and from the OVM Server.
However, the underground manual strangely only seems to cover a single NIC configuration! It looks like he assumes you are going to be running iSCSI on your management NIC, which I can only think is incredibly bad practice.
I have installed OVM with the linux asknetwork - this did not give me the option to configure additional interfaces.
I then manually edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 on the OVMServer, restarted network, restarted the entire box - I can ping my new NIC / IP locally from within the OVM server, but I can not connect to the iSCSI target, nor can I ping the iSCSI NIC on the OVM server from the target.
This is such a simple thing to try to achieve - super frustrating...

Hi
Because this error has different causes, you may have to check multiple items on your computer.
Firstly you could try this procedure:
If drive letters have been changed on your computer, re-assign the original letter to the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or operating system drive. Follow the steps appropriate to your operating system:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
3. In the Computer Management tree, click Disk Management.
4. Right-click the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, or the drive that contains the operating system, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
5. Click Change, and change it to the original drive letter. Click OK, and then click Close.
If it does not work check this useful website:

GPU fan of Satellite P100-145 is not running!

Hi
Has there been a solution to this problem yet? It only started since I upgraded my bois to 3.80. The base gets so hot on the right hand side and it's even radiating heat through the top panel on which my wrist/hand rests.
Not to mention it will slowly by destroying the components inside. I was running a game earlier to test the fan and it just would not turn on once! It got so hot!! Atleast 100 deg/c!!
I am wanting to downgrade the bios but cant find it anywhere on toshibas sites. Can anyone please provide me with details on how to obtain an earlier bios? 2.40 would be great. Back to factory settings and more importantly the FAN RUNNING!
I have the Satellite P100-145. It was great at first... until I found problems due to the design.
Please help

As far as I know many notebooks series supports only one cooling module, CPU cooling module.
I dont know any GPU temp monitoring software. I use the Everest home edition and this software monitors HDD and CPU temperature.
But listen buddy, the Toshiba graphic driver supports an overheating protection! If the GPU temperature rises to a higher step, the graphic driver will decrease the GPU performance and the temperature will go down. This is one reason why you should use the Toshiba graphic drivers ;)

Satellite Pro A300 can not find USB devices

Hello forum,
we have a costumer who has bought a Toshiba Satelite Pro A300 from us, but he gets a strange error on it.
he connects a Sandberg USB 2.0 5port Hub to one of the usb ports, the pc finds the hub, but when he connects a memory stick to the hub nothing happens.
the hub and memory stick works on others pc's.
hope somebody can help.
best regards
John Bork
DANBIT A/S

Hi
What happens if you connect the memory stick directly without this USB hub?
I had also an USB hub but these hubs are a little bit complicated and tricky The USB specifications allows a certain power and depending on the devices that you connect you have to use an active USB hub, that means with external power supply.
But normally Satellite Pro A300 should have enough USB ports If its necessary I would recommend an USB hub with 2 or 3 ports maximum

USB Flash Drive Issue On iMac - 1.1 on iMac, 2.0 on any other Mac

I have a Core i7 27" Late 2009 iMac.
I just noticed this issue today.
I have a couple of Patriot XPorter XT USB Flash drives that I use among my Macs to transfer big files around.
Hooking one of the 8GB flash drives to my iMac, the one listed above, it shows the device operating at USB 1.1 speeds, whether it's in a powered hub, or one of the 4 USB ports in the back of the machine. This was odd, because this was the first time it had ever done this. I only noticed this due to the painfully slow transfer rate the Finder was reporting to me. Restarting the iMac, cold starting the iMac, resetting permissions, PRAM and SMC did nothing. I thought it was a bum drive.
So I grabbed a 16GB flash drive (same brand and model family, different capacity) and it works perfectly fine on the iMac at USB 2.0 speeds. Hmm...
So I boot the iMac into Win 7 Ultimate x64. Both drives are listed at USB 2.0 speeds. Something is definitely afoot here.
To make sure I'm not losing my sanity, I grab my MacBook Pro and test the drives in there. Both drives are listed at USB 2.0 speeds.
I then run to my Mac Pro. Both drives are listed at USB 2.0 speeds.
Did something go wonky on my iMac?
Machine specs (for comparison above)
iMac 27" i7 2.8GHz - 16GB RAM
MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz - 4GB RAM
Mac Pro Xeon 2.66GHz - 12GB RAM

I think that you are just running into a communication blip between the thumb drive and the controller for the USB ports on your iMac. It is obviously reading the 8 GB drive as older and slower and is assigning that lessor priority to the bus serving the drive.
Have you tried attaching the drive directly to the iMac with no other device connected to a USB port? If it is the same, then I doubt there is anything that you can do, that is going to be the way the USB controller reads this thumb drive.

USB flash booting

I am not sure if this is the best forum for this - please let me know if there is a better Apple forum.
I have a 733 MHz G4 with Leopard and Tiger volumes. I formatted an 8 GB USB flash stick with: Apple partition map, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and OS 9 drivers and then used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the volume with OS 10.4.11 and OS 9.2.2 onto the USB stick.
Both of the USB stick OSs (10.4.11 and the 9.2.2) are bootable but they are not as easy to select as they were on the original volume.
All bootable OSs can be satisfactorily selected from OS 9.
Startup Manager (option key at boot) allows any volume to be selected but it will not change the selected OS on any multiple OS volume - I assume this is a normal limitation.
Both of the original OSs (10.4.11 and 9.2.2) can be individually selected from all OS X Startup Disk preference windows.
OS X Startup Disk preference windows allow USB selection but not a change of the USB OS - why is this?
From my post to http://forums.bombich.com/viewtopic.php?p=62752#62752 I understand that Bombich Software are reluctant to support PPC booting from USB flash devices on the basis that Apple say it is not possible!

I have extracted the following from John Sawyer's 22 April 2008 posts on:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329518-263.html
"I've been able to get most PPC Mac models - - to boot from USB - - without modifying Open Firmware - -
The first Macs to boot from USB were the slot-loading iMac G3s, the AGP/Sawtooth G4s, and the Powerbook G3 Firewire. And, the first version of OS X that could boot via USB, was 10.4.3.
I've noticed over the years that many people claim all kinds of USB booting limitations, only a few of which I've encountered."
In view of John's remarks, and the experience of many others, I would be grateful if those propagating disinformation could reflect upon their actions.

USB Flash Boot Drive

I created a USB flash drive a few months ago to assist in imaging Surface Pro 3 Tablets and that flash drive is working great. Today I am trying to create a second flash drive and it will not see any Task Sequences and just errors out. I have created both
of them identically, same setting, same boot image, same user account, same brand/type flash drive (tried two different drives), yet the newer one will not see the advertised task sequences and just comes up as failed just before I am able to choose the Task
Sequence. If I boot the tablet with the older created USB drive it works perfectly then power off and reboot with the new one and it will not see the advertisements...? We are an HTTP environment and I am choosing Create Task Sequence
Media | Bootable Media | Dynamic media | USB Flash Drive | no Password | Cert Date are default (Today through one year from now) | Boot image is the same one that I always use | DP same | MP Same | no prestart commands.
Any thoughts?

Ok thank for your replies, I saw them this morning but have not sat at my desk until now.... one of those days. So I am not sure why, don't have the time to investigate, but the 'Dynamic Media' option is no longer working however I am and to create
a USB Stick as 'Site-based Media' and that is working for me. Dynamic used to work and for some reason it broke. I appreciate the replies and when I get time I will look at those log but wanted to reply so you don't think i forgot ;)

USB Flash Drive Issue

I hope this is the right section to post in, if not can the moderator please move it accordingly.
I have a USB hard drive which I use for Time Machine without a problem, but I also have a USB flash drive. Since I have used it with my Mac I have not been able to recognize it on PC's. Not that I want to use any PC's, but at school I need them for printing.
Is there any settings I need to change or programs I need to download to make sure my USB drive will be Mac & PC compatible? Do I need to do a format or something?
Thanks.

Hello,
or you format your Harddrive (USB / HDD) in Windows with the NTFS-Format (it is for bigger files) an install on Mac the programm "MacFuse". With this tool your Mac read the NTFS-Format. Also no problems with your PC and Mac.
But i dont know a answer for the rights bug.
Nice greets

USB flash drive issue with photoshop.

For some reason when i try to save .psd files from photoshop CS3 to my usb flash drive I always get The disk is full error, even when the disk is empty. I try to save to the disk, and I can save to the desktop but cannot drag and drop it in. It's a 1 gig flash drive.

Hi Skwertz: Have you tried plugging in the USB Flash drive and emptying the trash? Just be sure that the items in the trash are really meant to be thrown out.
Good Luck

[SOLVED] LVM physical volume not available during early boot

Note to self:
Of course it's not available - it's in an encrypted LVM container!
Hi,
I'm trying to get myself a working hibernate but I'm stuck on resume hook not seeing my swap partition.
The swap partition is on an LVM logical volume (LV) which is on one physical volume PV created on a different harddrive than the root partition is. During the bootup I get something similar to "ERROR: hibernation partition '/dev/mapper/volgrp-swap' not found".
Further debugging gave out that for some reason the early userspace has no access to LVM physical volume. I managed to run a shell using break=premount boot parameter. From there I found out that "lvm pvscan" shows no physical volumes at all. I suspect that mkinitcpio does not give a damn about non-root harddrive though I was unable to confirm that and neither was I able to find any other reason for this behaviour.
Relevant lines from mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="dm_mod btrfs"
HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 autodetect keyboard encrypt resume filesystems fsck"
Any help would be appreciated, including any tips on where to get more debug data.
cheers,
-miky

Do you have the correct "root=" line in your bootloader's kernel line? Is it in fstab?
Perhaps try with rootdelay=5 as well?
Yes I have root=/dev/mapper/hdgroup0-volroot, and its in fstab (not that fstab is even being read)
root delay wouldn't help at all because after it drops me to a busybox shell I can't do a manual mount.
