Toshiba Portege 7200 appears incompatible with XP

[Guest]

The Toshiba Portege 7200 (600MHz PIII + 320MB) works with Windows 2000 though
installation is not made easy because it has no internal CD or Floppy drives.

I attempted to install Windows XP OEM SP2 using an original PCMCIA Toshiba
external CD drive. The CD booted properly and passed the primary installation
stage. However, before the partitioning screen arrived the following error
message appeared:
"A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer. Tech Info:
*** STOP 0x0000007B (0xF88B6524,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0,00000000"

This apparently indicates a device driver incompatibility within XP which
may be resolved by manually installing a compatible driver using F6 during
the initial install stage. Unfortunately I have no idea where to get such a
driver for this purpose. I am also surprised XP fails where Windows 2000
succeeded.

As a disk check I tried installing the XP onto the 2.5" HD while plugged
into a tower. This succeeded but when the 2.5" drive was placed back in the
Portege it failed during loading with the same message as above. This failure
continued to occur after all peripherals were removed including the PCMCIA CD
ROM drive.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than reverting to 2000?

Thanks for reading.

You might try installing an updated chipset driver for your computer.
If using Intel Application Accelerator, remove it before trying the
install.

You should not attempt using an OEM version of Windows for an upgrade
installtion. OEM editions are to be supplied with new computers or
significant components [Mobo, CPU, HDD] and to be installed on those items
and not other hardware. To tell the world of this is to advise that you have
or are attempting to defraud Microsoft.

You should have purchased an XP Pro Upgrade edition and attempted to Upgrade
the W2K installtion. Bootup to W2K, insert the XP Upgrade CD and all will
run smoothly.

Prior to the upgrade, ensure that you run the compatibility checks and
identify what if any, drivers will need to be available. Go to Toshiba's web
site and download [and extract any ZIP files] into a new folder. Then if
requested during the upgrade process you can point XP to the new folder for
any unique drivers files it requires.

The compatibility checks will also identify the need for software upgrades
as well.

Doing this will ensure that you don't render your PC unusable.

Another warning:
Prior to running an Upgrade make sure you copy all your personal data across
to CD or other media [just to be safe].

But surely if I build my computer myself, having bought all the individual
components, and then quite legally installed an earlier version of Windows
on it, I can then if I so decide format my hard disk wiping off the earlier
version of Windows and install say Windows XP OEM. After all having put my
computer together myself then i AM the Original Equipment Manufacturer or
OEM.

However, if I try to install a Dell or HP OEM version, then technically at
least I am in breach of the agreement but NOT if I install an unbranded OEM
version. Surely that is the raison d'etre of OEM disks.

Nice try, however the Terms of Sale of the OEM version of XP require that it
must be purchased at the same time / together with a significant hardware
component.....

It cannot be purchased at some time after a PC has been built. No IFs, ANDs
or BUTs.

In WightOwl's case, there is an existing PC with a Windows Product running,
made by a Major Manufacturer who generally supplies it's products complete
with an OEM version of an Operating System.

The installation of a newer or different Operating System requires an
Upgrade Product or Full Version Product; it's simple. The installation of an
OEM version of XP is unauthorised use of that product.

But surely if I build my computer myself, having bought all the individual
components, and then quite legally installed an earlier version of Windows
on it, I can then if I so decide format my hard disk wiping off the earlier
version of Windows and install say Windows XP OEM. After all having put my

As it happens I actually did purchase a motherboard, plus a hard disk, DVD
rewriter etc as well in addition to the OEM version of the Win XP. My hard
disk had suddenly packed up, you see and I took the opportunity to do a bit
of upgrading. In fact I additionally bought a complete set of components to
build another computer (minus the CPU, the case and the PSU which I already
had lying around) and which I am in the process of putting together. But the
second computer will be running Linux.

To clarify this matter: Although originally supplied with Windows 2000 the
laptop arrived second hand without restore CDs or OEM sticker. It was
effectively a clean machine. An upgrade disk would not have worked as the HD
was clean and upgrades need the presence of an operating system in some form.
I of course accept the principle that OEM CDs are for machines without
operating systems.

Question is that you had a machine with no OS which makes you responsible
for installing the OS of your choice on that machine. Since you did not have
the manufacturer supplied system disk it is up to you to buy a legit system
disk to put the OS on the machine. This could be the full rather than the
upgrade version of Windows. If you had say a legit copy of Win 98 or ME, you
could have bought an upgrade version of Win XP and installed Win XP on your
machine. It would have asked you to insert your qualifying system CD
temporarily in the process.

OEM disks are not for computers with no OS system but rather for machines
manufactured/put together by manufacturers and freaks like me who like to
build their own computers. However, I doubt that MegaBucks is after the
likes of you. He can of course impose his conditions on how you can use his
products even though some of us do not consider this ethical. After all if I
buy a product I should be able to use it as I see fit providing of course
that I do not sell it to others or use it in a network setup for a company.

MegaBucks are really after people who mass-distribute their OS and other
software commercially and I don't blame them one bit in this regard. The
question of whether they are charging a fair price for their products, is a
moot point. If a retired person for whom computing is a hobby wants to play
around with Win XX or Office he surely should not be expected to pay the
same price as say a multinational pays to put the same software on one of
their computers. Most people can get by buying the Academic Version which
sells at a more reasonable price.

How about making the Academic Version available to ALL who buy the software
purely for private use? A lot of pensioners on limited incomes are far more
likely to buy the legit product if they could legitimately buy and use the
Academic Version. To many pensioners computing has become a hobby. Surely
they should not be expected to pay MORE for their software than a
multinational who dish out far less than the full retail price of MS
products.

How about it Mr Bill Gates?

Incidentally, if individual X bought a laptop with its own Quick Restore
disk or Windows CD, would the original owners be within their rights to sell
the laptop with the OS CD and would the buyer then have the right to install
that OS on his newly acquired second-hand laptop?

What is the MegaBucks policy on this and what do the subscribers of this NG

It would be interesting to know.

What a shame you all lost sight of the original problem. Instead of
squabbling about the legalities of licensing, does any one have an answer as
to how to address the issue.

The stop occurs when windows swithes from text mode to GUI mode: the
protected mode driver is replaced (but fails) by a non-existent real mode
driver. Hence, i guess the answer is to do an F6 specified drive install with
a flopy containing an textsetup.oem drive file set

Incidentally, if individual X bought a laptop with its own Quick Restore

upgraded???
Thanks

[Jim Macklin]

You can buy a PCMCIA card with a LAN. Do a Google search to
find "pcmcia lan"
Some will offer wired, wireless and often modem/fax so pick
what you want.
