The Portege 7000/7010 series models have been tested to be compatible with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server. Portege 7000/7010 series computers are qualified under Microsoft "Designed for Windows NT" logo program. For more NT compatibility information, please visit the Microsoft Windows NT Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

• Portege notebook computer (7000/7010, hereafter referred to as "the computer")
• Optional Portege CD-ROM Network Dock (PA2723U,) or third party external CD-ROM drive
• External floppy disk drive (bundled with computer)
• AC adapter (if battery is not sufficiently charged)
• Windows NT workstation V4.0 (hereafter refereed to as "NT 4.0")
• CD-ROM (or access to NT 4.0 installation distribution files via network connection)
• Windows NT workstation V4.0 Service Pack 3 (hereafter referred to as "SP3") CD (SP3 can be downloaded, or access to NT SP3 installation files via network connection.)
• NT Support files including Toshiba power management, device driver and utility software for Portege 7000/7010 model computers (Toshiba drivers and utilities software may be downloaded. Please search for relevant model's file section.)

Download the following support files (device drivers and NT utilities) and extract them to blank floppy disks.

If you experience difficulties in transferring Windows NT Utilities or Power Management Utilities to a floppy disk(s), these may be installed after Networking configuration, then download these and extract the utilities directly to the hard disk. (See Network Support Installation below.)

Blank floppy diskettes for creating system bootable disk and NT Emergency Rescue Disk.

1. Memory: 16MB minimum, 32- 64MB preferred
2. Hard Drive: Hard drive formatted with FAT 16 partition.120MB free space minimum, 500MB preferred
3. Setup: TSETUP (Toshiba CMOS setup) must be modified from factory default setting in order to install Windows NT 4.0 correctly.
4. Power on the computer while holding down "ESC" key
5. Press the "F1" key to enter the TSETUP menu.
6. Press the "HOME" key to select default setup
7. Press the "PgDn" key to go to second setup menu screen. Use the arrow key to go to "PC card Controller Mode" and change it to "PCIC Compatible." If the machine has ACPI VIOS V 7.x installed, select Device Config. = All Devices, PC Card Controller Mode = PCIC Compatible.

(To use 32-bit Cardbus cards under NT, "PC card Controller Mode" should be changed to "Cardbus/16bit." In this mode, 16-bit PCIC cards will not function.)

8. Press "END" to save and exit setup.

If you have access to the internal SelectBay CD-ROM at this point, skip this section and go to "Installing Windows NT WorkStation 4.0." Otherwise, you will need to create a CD-ROM boot disk or Network boot disk if NT 4.0 setup files are located on a network server.

For local installation via Portege CD-ROM Network Dock:

- Create a bootable floppy disk on another computer.

- Copy the necessary CD-ROM drivers (TOSCDROM. SYS, MSCDEX.EXE) onto the bootable floppy disk, then create CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to gain access to the CD-ROM Network Dock. CD-ROM drivers can be found on the Toshiba web site or on the Portege 7000/7010 Recovery/Application CD bundled with the computer. This example shows how to assign a drive letter Q to the internal CD-ROM.

[Config.Sys]

DEVICE=A:\TOSCDROM. SYS

[Autoexec.Bat]

A:\MSCDEX.EXE /L:Q /D:TOSCD001 /M:10

Create a system boot disk to access the external CD-ROM from real mode. (Consult CD-ROM manufacturer for detailed instructions on how to create such a disk.)

- Consult your network administrator on how to use a bootable disk to gain access to a file server containing NT 4.0 installation files.

This document will primarily discuss CD-ROM installation.

The following MultiMedia and Video Enhancements are supported under NT 4.0:

The following MultiMedia and Video Enhancements are NOT supported under NT 4.0:

1. In event viewer, there is an error entry after NT 4.0 installation.

Date: xxxx Event ID: 8
Time: xxxx Source: Serial
User: N/A Type: Error
Computer: Portege 7000 Category: None

Description: Not enough resources were available for the driver

Cause: This error is normal. Portege 7000/7010 series computers use an internal 56K modem that may utilize up to 2 IRQ's. At this time, Windows NT 4.0 does not natively support such a modem implementation. This error entry does not cause any problem. It should be treated as information only and should be ignored.

2. In event viewer, there is an error entry after NT 4.0 installation.

Date: xxxx Event ID: 7023
Time: xxxx Source: Service Control Manager
User: N/A Type: Error
Computer: Portege 7000 Category: None

Description: The Server Service terminated with the following error:

"Not enough server storage is available to process this command"

Cause: This error usually occurs after installing software components that require NT 4.0 \i386 files such as networking. This error can be fixed by reinstalling NT 4.0 Service Pack 3.

3. During initial NT installation, NT partition (FAT or NTFS) size greater than 4GB is not supported due to current limitations within the NT 4.0 operating systems.

Microsoft Internet Explorer V4.0A with Active Desktop feature is now supported under NT 4.0 with Toshiba NT 4.0 utilities. As part of ongoing effort to provide the best service and support, Toshiba will update drivers and utilities periodically. Please check the Toshiba Technical Service and Support web site for updated drivers, utilities and other configuration information.
