Tecra 8000: Missing OS, how to install

I have this old Tecra 8000 and it had Win ME on it. I used some software called Kill Disk, and after reboot I get "OS Missing".
I have a bootable CDR with a (legal) copy of XP Pro on it. But nothing happens when I insert the CD, it runs for a while but the "OS Missing" message remains. I have tried to reboot with the CD inserted, but nothing but the message.
It's and old comp but I still want it to run, there are no mechanical failures, so...any help much appreciated.

First account did not allow me to login, so I made a new account.
Anyway, I can not alter my BIOS since the boot process is only about 1 second. All I have is the Toshiba logo followed by the OS Missing message. I know my way around the settings in the BIOS, boot order and all, but this I dont understand. I do not have a command line or anything, just this annoying message.
If I start the comp while pressing F12, I get a message about how to insert a BIOS Update Diskette.
- So I downloaded the latest BIOS update, copied it to a 1.44 MB floppy and inserted it into an external floppy drive. Well, that did not work out, probably some USB error?
- I tried to burn the update files to a CDR, start the comp while pressing F12, inserting the CD on message, but no response either :(
Any other suggestions on how to solve this?

Video Out - Tecra 8000

I have a Tecra 8000 with Windows XP Pro installed.
Everything works beautifully I have updated the BIOS to v9.3 - BUT I can't get the video out connections to work.
I have tried the RCA plug on the back, and also connected the SVGA dongle to the side jack and used the composite video out on that, but no signal seems to come out of either of them.
I have tinkered with the various different BIOS settings, used the Fn+F5 key all to no avail.
I have read in the forum here that others have the same problem, so I'm adding a plea for help with this one too. Can I ask, has ANYONE managed to actually get a composite video signal out of their Tecra?

Hi Peter
If your Tecra is preinstalled with Toshiba Recovery CD all drivers and tools should work properly. In this case there are, in my opinion, two possible reasons why this not works. Either is notebook the cause for this issue or there is some problem with the TV and TV setting.
Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch to external device. It will be interesting to know if this works properly with external monitor. It is not the same port but the tool is the same. You can also try to connect your notebook to another TV. It is sometimes not easy to say what the problem can be. If there is no way to have some success you need some professional help. Maybe the service partner can make a short check of composite video out port.

Hi，
I think you can start your computer and long press F8 or other keys (depends on the PC model) to enter the BIOS, set the boot option, make the PC boot from CD\ROM Drive, then customize the installation, resize the partition, you can refer
to this video.

I just installed the yahoo messenger. Every time I do that my extensions go missing. How do you fix this instead of having to keep re installing firefox?

I just installed the yahoo messenger. Every time I do that my extensions go missing. How do you fix this instead of having to keep re installing firefox?

hello, this sounds like the files in your [[Profiles|profile folder]] that store the information about your extensions might have become corrupted. please go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile - show folder...'' then windows explorer should open up your profile folder. in there look for the files named extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite, extensions.sqlite-journal (and in some cases also extensions.txt, extensions.rdf). delete or rename those files and quit firefox, they will be regenerated the next time you launch firefox.

How to get sound working on W2k on Tecra 8000?

Is there any way to get the sound to work on a Tecra 8000 using windows 2000 pro? I just upgraded from win 98 and the audio driver installs the Yamaha opl3-sax, but there is no sound. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers, but none seem to work.

Hi
I would also recommend checking the device manager. If there is no yellow exclamation marks near to the sound card so I would say the sound driver was successful installed and there must be something wrong with the audio settings.
Did you check the sound and audio devices in the control panel? You should check all the sound controller if they are set to the higher level.
Furthermore I would recommend checking the volume controller at the notebook side. Sometimes peoples forget to set it. ;)

HT1926 I get a message stating MSVCR80.dll is missing. How to fix? I have removed and re-installed multiple times.

I get a message stating MSVCR80.dll is missing. How to fix? I have removed and re-installed multiple times.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

<Edited by Host>

Guys thank you so much for the advises and helps.. i went back to Extra store and finally they changed my unit to a new one..Now i can figured out which one has facetime or none, from the box itself at back it writtens arabic so definetely no facetime and if english, portugese and chinese characters has 100 % with facetime.. I'm so blessed that they agreed to changed my unit to new one. At first the manager opened four boxes of new unit for me to check if facetime is there and he reassured me there's new batch of iphone5 coming on 2nd day. So i went back and he changed it to new one.. .Now im satisfied..

Installed iCloud and now all Pages docs are missing. How do I recover them?

I installed icloud this morning. This evening, when I went to use Pages, I discovered that all of my documents are missing. How do I recover them from before I converted to iCloud? Or can I?

Hi Twitty,
hmm, I knew I was missing something fairly obvious. I went into AppStore and the apps were there with an "accept" option rather than a price. I've started the download.
I've no idea if this means I'll be charged or not. I never got a screen with a price on it so hopefully not.
thanks for your quick response,
Sam.

How to Install 3G Broadband Modem in Tecra R850

I don't know if all of the motherboards have the connectors needed, or if the models without the 3G card installed at the factory have the needed antenna.
There is a small port on the bottom of the computer that you can open after removing a screw. This allows access to the connectors for antennae to the WiFi and (if present) 3G cards. So you could at least see if the antennae are there(or at least their connectors).
However, the cards themselves seem to be larger than the port, and require pretty much a complete diassembly of the computer in order to get to the motherboard. And even then, it is possible that the connector for the 3G card may not exist on the motherboard.

My iPad 2 , safari missing new page button - please help how to instal it

I am total novice in using ipad2 . Can some please advice me on how to install missing new button page on safari iPad 2?
Also sorry it may be daft question ,my old computer crashed and I had to instal iTunes on a new laptop but how do I transfer iTunes music onto new laptop?
It just seem to be suggesting to reinstall the I.e. iPod which would mean that I lose all my music on it....THANK YOU.

Safari on iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing, not the thumbnail/paged browsing as on previous iOS versions - to open a new tab tap the '+' to the right of the tab bar, and to close the current tab tap the 'x' on its left-hand end (you can't close the last tab).
In terms of your music, then if you haven't got a backup of your library which you can copy onto your computer, then you should be able to copy your iTunes purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off.
