Toshiba Portege M700-S7003X startup problem

I have a Toshiba Portege M700-S7003X (Part#PPM70U-03M01J; Serial#38084271H). Few days ago while I was working on the notebook suddenly a message showed up to restart the computer for some update purpose. However, when I tried to restart seems to me the computer is crashed. Right now whenever I try to startup it shows up messages: Safe Mode; Safe Mode with Networking; Safe Mode with Command Prompt; Last known Good config that Start windows normally. However, I tried with every option and at every case gets a quick blue screen which doesn't let me really see what's been said and then restarts.
I would highly appreciate if anyone suggest me the possible ways to solve the problems.
Thanks!!

Bug Check 0xED: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
That's a good sign. It usually means the hard drive contains some corrupt files and can be repaired, but it's not easy.
You should boot to the Recovery Console and try to resurrect the hard drive by running chkdsk /r. See KB297185.
Unless you have access to a Windows XP installation CD, you will need the downloadable Setup boot floppies. And you may need a PA3109U-3FDD USB Floppy Disk Drive.

  • Volume wheel on Toshiba Portege M700-S7005X doesn't work

    I had to reinstall windows on my computer, and everything works perfect, except for the fact that my volume wheel no longer does anything. I have to adjust volume using the system slider. Anyone know how to get my wheel working again? Thanks!

    Thanks for your answers so far.
    @Xaver:
    No I have win 7 clean install (instead of Vista), which is the reason I tried the workaround I linked to.
    @nifer:
    No yellow bangs in the device manager, and, even more important only one entry called something like "Toshiba virtual modem" under "modem" in the device managaer (I thinkthat the four entrys for the 3g moduldrivers should be under "modem" in the device manager)
    - Is it possible to check this powerrail without having to disassemble the whole notebook? Where is the modul located?
    @xardas: I think it has, at least the guy who sold me the (used) notebook said so. The model Number begins with ppm70e, which I believe is the specific model of m700. There also is a sticker with a "wireless WAN IMEI" and a number at the backside and a slot for the sim-card behind battery-pack, which both would be very suspicious for a notebook not having a 3G modul.

  • Toshiba portege 2000 and wireless problem

    Hi,
    I have a following problem with wirelesss card (I use hermes module).
    # iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.
    eth0 no wireless extensions.
    sit0 no wireless extensions.
    I know that sit0 is my wireless card (MAC matches), but as you see it does not appear as a wireless card.
    Any suggestions?
    mdv

    sit0 isnt your wireless card, it's a pseudo interface, apparently for allowing ipv6 tunneling through ipv4.. or so google says.
    you sure it uses the hermes module, and have you got it loaded?

  • Portege m700 Tablet Extended Desktop Problem

    I've looked all over and can't find a good answer to this, so I figured I'd better check with the source!  I have a Toshiba Portege m700 tablet PC, which has an LCD monitor connected using the digital cable.
    I have the external monitor set as my primary, with the notebook monitor set as the secondary, providing extra desktop real estate to the right of the first monitor.
    The problem is that when I use the touchscreen, the mouse controls are only active on the primary monitor (the external one).  What I'd like to do is have the external monitor be primary, the notebook monitor be secondary, and be able to drag items to the notebook and use ink, or onenote, or other touchscreen apps on there.  I want the touchscreen to control ONLY the secondary (notebook) monitor.  Is this possible?
    It seems like there should be some way to just instruct the computer to map the touchscreen to the secondary monitor instead of always just mapping to the primary.
    However, if there is not, what I did experiment with is having the notebook as primary and the external as secondary, and then using some sort of multimonitor software to manage the taskbar and such to create the illusion of the external monitor being primary.  The problem here is that while the notebook is 1280 x 800 resolution, the external monitor is capable of 1280 x 1024, but when set as secondary will go no higher than 1280 x 800.  Is there a way to force the external monitor to run in 1280 x 1024 if I'm using it as the secondary?
     Is this something for which I need an updated graphics driver?  I tried to get a newer version of the Intel GMA, but it actually removed all extended desktop options for me, so I rolled it back.  The version it's running is 6.14.10.4837.
    Thank you in advance for anyone pointing me to any driver updates, configuration directions, or external software that can effectively manage all these options of extended desktop, screen resolution, and what monitor is assigned to touchscreen control!

    I've just tested the "Extended Desktop for Tablet PC" powertoy, and that doesn't solve this problem.  With the tablet set as the secondary monitor, when I move the window onto that screen, it just recurses the image over itself, which isn't really useful.
    No one has any other ideas about this?

  • Message "insert system disk" while booting Portege M700

    Hello everyone,
    my friend give me his old toshiba Portege M700 and I have problem with it.
    When it starts up just shows toshiba logo and then this "please insert system disk and press any key when ready.
    I haven't any disk from where can i download the iso and then burn to disk or something like that, I really don't know much about pcs and sorry for my bad english, please help me if anyone can
    thanks a lot

    Hi
    Unfortunately, its not possible to download the Toshiba image.
    In case you dont have a recovery disk for your notebook model, visit this page to order such disk: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    But Im not quite sure if you will be able to order the disk because of the notebook age
    However, the message: insert system disk appears because the system is not installed on the Toshiba Portege notebook, therefore it asks for the disk.
    Of course you can use the clean Microsoft Windows disk to install the system the essential drivers are available on Toshiba EU driver page therefore the Toshiba image is not necessary to reinstall the system if your are own a MS Windows disk

    Hi
    > Can I find somewhere at Toshiba's websites Windows XP tablet Edition 2005 with complete drivers
    (for example: Recovery DVD with XP) for download for notebook Toshiba Portege M700/106???
    You can find only a Windows XP tablet edition drivers on the Toshiba European driver page! But you will not find a Windows XP tablet Edition 2005 OS for download!!!
    You will have to buy a clean OS and then you could install the Toshiba drivers downloaded for the notebook.
    PS: I dont know what OS was preinstalled on your M700 but mostly a Toshiba recovery CD/DVD should be delivered together with the notebook.

  • Toshiba Portege Problem: *Battery is not charging and web camera initialization failed.*

    Hi, 
    I am having problems with my Toshiba Portege laptop. 1) Once laptop opens, window appears which says, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer." Not sure what happened why the web cam application did not run properly. 2) Battery won't charge. When clicking the battery icon, it just says, "0% available plugged in, charging." I  can not open my laptop when the cord is unplugged. 
    Appreciate if you can help me or any advice.
    Thanks,

    always good to tell what Portege and what system is running...
    anyway -
    to #1
    an autostart process requests the camera, maybe Skype?
    some web cams on USB ports do take some time
    been initialised especially when attached via hub.
    Windows boot sequences do not wait until they finished.
    if the camera is working after a while than thats here the
    case despite that message and it can be ignored.
    to #2
    forget the software symbol for the purpose of the question -
    on any notebook you should see a battery symbol/LED
    somewhere on the case. its yellowish/orange when
    charging green when battery is full.  if it doesn't change into green
    (overnight charging) the battery is faulty or even missing...
    regards

  • Black Screen Problem on my Toshiba Portege M800-A330

    I own a Toshiba Portege M800-A330 for more than a year now.  Whenever I have problem on it, uhmm.. for example: virus, or corrupted operating system, all I do is to format my laptop or recover it using system recovery from the hard disk or using recovery disc which is inserted in the DVD drive.  But, recently I'm having a problem with my laptop.  My problem starts after I compressed the Drive C:, but I don't think that may cause the black screen problem that I'm encountering since then. 
    Here goes my problem: When turning on my laptop, the first thing I can see is the "TOSHIBA" logo and then after it fades it just gives me a black screen.  I don't know why it's just black screen, perhaps its system has been corrupted.  I've tried using the system recovery for the Nth times, but sadly the ability to run the system recovery from the hard disk partition also FAILED and just gives me a black screen again.  When pressing "number 0" it does not direct me to the recovery features of the notebook but instead it only put me on a black screen.  Likewise when I use the recovery disc, it also put me on a black screen upon entering in the DVD drive, and so as when I'm trying to reformat my laptop with Windows7.
    I can't even access the safe mode options of my notebook.  All I can access is the CMOS/BIOS setup features of the notebook when pressing F2.
    Please help, I don't know what or where the problem maybe and what could be the possible solution on this.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    while i understand that the outlooking symptoms may appear the same, you report that you compressed your C drive but the poster in the linked thread does not... sadly, the underlying problem may or may not be the same even though the surface symtoms appear to be so...

    in my own case, i've finally determined that i must purchase the reload disks from toshiba and hope that they are able to restore my machine to the original factory condition... in you case, i can't say that this is the way to go or not... it really sounds like something either BIOS or OS oriented... since the BIOS reset didn't take care of the problem, it may be something deeper (ie: video broked) or something else...
    have you tried booting a *nix live CD like ubuntu? the idea here is that if a live CD of another OS boots, then there may be something wrong with your HD...
    along those lines, have you tried running memtest86+ and/or a HD testing util for the drive in your unit? it is possible that memory has gone uuck or the HD may have a section of bad sectors...

  • Intall Solaris 8 on Toshiba Portege 3440CT fail

    I want to install Solaris 8 intel on Toshiba Portege 3440CT. it has one USB floppy drive and one PCMCIA CD-ROM.
    When I use Solais 8 boot disk to boot the system. it just only show "SunOS..." on the top left hand conner and have no response. Should anyone know what happen to it?
    If it is related to USB device or fail to startup PCMCIA CD-ROM, can I create a Install server on another PC to use network installation?
    If the laptop PC is not possible to install Solaris, how I can verify it? Since Solaris 8 Hardware compatilable List do not have Laptop section, Did sun provide a PC utility to test whether my laptop is Solaris compatiable?

    Hi,
    Problem with PERC RAID controller card.
    You try to install the driver for AIC 7899 and Dell PERC RAID controller card. In dell computers, they have dell PERC RAID controller driver for Solaris 7 version. They don't have the driver for solaris 8 version.
    You can download driver for SCSI AIC 7899 from this URL:
    http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.html?cat=/Product/ASC-39160&filekey=u160_slrs_v121_dd.img.Z
    Then you check with your local dell support provider for PERC RAID controller driver for solaris 7 and solaris 8.
    Thanks.

  • Portege M700 crashes after upgrading to Windows 7 32bit

    Dear All,
    My portege M700 laptop has for the most part performed reliably.
    However, it used to be very sluggish resuming from sleep after a few wake-sleep iterations, taking >5min.
    I have now installed Windows 7 32-bit, which is working very well. There are no longer any problems with resuming from sleep. However, about 1-2 times per day now I get a message that Explorer has crashed and must restart. About once per week, the system locks up entirely with a windows blue screen (kernel fault). Most times, in the few seconds around the time the screen freezes, I hear the fan switch on at full speed (much faster than it ever normally runs) and the case becomes quite warm.
    I have installed the latest Windows 7 32-bit drivers from the Toshiba UK website.
    Can anyone help me diagnose the cause of these crashes?
    Many thanks,
    Chris.

    I changed the windows 7 power management settings for the fan to "keep coolest". In normal use, I can feel a slow slightly warm airflow. There's no fluff. All that looks fine.
    My suspicion is that something is making the kernel go into a loop (I suspect a driver fault) and that this makes the CPU get hot, and the fan kicks in as it should...
    Any other ideas for some specific diagnostic tests to try would be appreciated. The Toshiba "PC Diagnostics" tool passes everything except the network which reports as follows:
    [Diagnostic Results]
    NETWORK TEST (1) DONE PASS (Intel(R) 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection)
    NETWORK TEST (2) DONE PASS (Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN)

  • TrueSuite Access Manager on Portege M700-13P

    Every time I start up my new Portege M700 this program claims that the drivers are not installed for the fingerprint scanner and tries t install them again. TrueSuite Access Manager Installer starts and then it asks me to restart my PC. EVERY time. I am currently ignoring this but it bugs me.
    I can login with the fingerprint scanner which suggests that the message is bogus.
    Anyone recommend a way to resolve this?
    I am tempted to remove the device from the hardware manager and uninstall the software, then restart, reinstall the software then redetect the hardware...
    Anyone got a better idea before I waste my time?
    Cheers,
    Rob.

    OK that didn't work... Here is the step by step what happened...
    Downloaded latest update to Truesuite from Toshiba site.
    Uninstalled the software - revmoed the hardware item from the list in the device manager then restarted.
    Got a message - New hardware (all good so far). I clicked to installed drivers.
    The Truesuite Access Manager program started up to install (? that's odd...)
    Machine claimed all installed ok and offered a restart.
    Restarted and the fingerprint scanner not enabled for logging in (OK it might to be logged in once to get it started).
    Immediately got a message - New hardware (Damn it!!!)
    Waited for full startup sequence to complete... it takes ages thanks to all manner of preloaded stuff.
    Clicked to install new hardware - back to the same thing. It reinstalls the truesuite software again and again and again every restart...
    This is stupid.
    Anyone got any idea what is going to make this work?

    Hi
    You need a 3G broadband module?
    As far as I know some of the M700 Portege series have been equipped with the 3G module I think its from Novatel but Im not quit sure
    However, if you need an part for the Toshiba notebook which would be compatible for sure, then the best place for buying such part is your ASP.
    The guys could check what parts are compatible and could order it from Toshiba if this would be really necessary

  • Portege M700 - Ultra Slim Bay

    In the User Guide, in the equipment checklist section, it says 'Ultra Slim Bay Weight Saver (Is included with some models)'. And since i received an Ultra Slim Bay case (which is also included in some models), logically, it would also come with the Weight Saver. Because, when i remove my DVD drive to place into the Ultra Slim Bay case, there's a gaping hole left in the laptop where the DVD drive used to be. It doesn't make sense that Toshiba didn't provide the Weight Saver, does it...?
    Thanks for your help,

    Message was edited by: jojojojo
    PS. This message was rejected by the system because it was profanity?! what is going on? it took me 7 tries till I decided to edit my message instead. What is wrong with the system? It was VERY frustrating and it doesn't tell you which part it wanted you to edit! poor code... fix it.

    Im not a Portege M700 owner but I think Akuma is right. The dummy DVD dray is delivered only with models without DVD drive I think.
    If you want it you can contact an authorized service provider. They can order all Toshiba parts.
    Or you search on the Toshiba Accessories homepage. Maybe there you will find the part number and then you can search with Google to find some online shops they are selling that part.
    Good luck!

  • Portege M700 rotation issues after upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit

    I upgraded to windows 7 last night on my portege m700. It is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I installed all the drivers under the Windows & 64 bit category on Toshiba's page. Everything works great except the screen will not properly rotate when put into tablet mode. I can push ctrl+alt+ arrow keys to rotate it, and I can also use windows mobility center to rotate 90 degrees at one time. I am wondering what I need to have it rotate once snapped into tablet mode, like it did in Vista. I have the Toshiba rotation utility installed but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It seems like it is not receiving a signal from the monitor that it has been rotated.
    I need this for school, so any help is GREATLY appreciated.

    Hi
    I think there are not all Win 7 64boit drivers published and released for M700 and you will have to install also some drivers released for Vista 64bit!
    For example:
    *Tablet PC Extension Package v 1.0.0.1 for Vista 64bit*
    This driver package installs a range of important utilities.
    _TOSHIBA Rotation Utility:_ Set the default screen orientation you want the system to use when switching from PC to Tablet mode, or vice-versa.
    _TOSHIBA Tablet PC Buttons Driver:_ You can dedicate tablet buttons to performing common tasks so that you can easily operate your tablet computer when you're away from your workstation. For example, you can dedicate a button to open a program or to change your screen orientation.
    _TOSHIBA Accelerometer Utilities:_ These Utilities are a set of hardware utilities that work with the motion sensors built into you machine. With the Accelerometer, your machine will be able to detect the way you are holding it at any given moment. You can set the machine to perform a specific function when the unit is quickly tilted to the left or right, or to the front or back. You can also take control of the cursor in some applications and make it move by leaning the PC in a certain direction.
