Adding PCMCIA CDROM Drivers to XP Pro Setup
in [Tablet PC]
|
From: drtigerlilly on 27 Sep 2006 21:14 I have been trying to install Windows XP on my Toshiba Portege M200 Tablet, the tablet does not have a built in CDROM Drive, and instead uses external solutions, one of which is the Targus Noteworthy NWDVD04 CD/DVD ROM Drive. This drive connect to the pc via a PCMCIA cable. I have tried to install the Microsoft Windows XP to the tablet, via booting to the cdrom drive w/ the XP CD, it starts and begins loading drivers but just as it is about to start the Windows Installation the machine bluescreens & gives the following message: A problem had been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error restart your computer. if this screen appears again Follow these steps: Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure that it is properly congfigured and terminated. Run Chkdsk /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart yout computer. Technical Information: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF7c78524, 0x00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I followed the instructions and checked the hard drive, there are no problems or issues with the hard drive. While searching the internet, i came across a toshiba forum, and a user suggested that the issue is: "The BIOS supports booting from certain PC Card based CD Roms. The support is quite basic and provides only the possibility to boot. At some point the operating system has to take over the support of the device from the BIOS ... At this point a driver is required regardless of the operating system (DOS, Win XP, Linux....whatever). If the driver is available everything is sweet. No driver - no more access to the CD Rom where the rest of the boot files and system files reside. So from that point the connection is cut." I have DOS & Windows 98/NT/XP Drivers for the Drive, so i am curious to find out, if it is possible to add these missing drivers to the Windows XP Installation, any help you can provide, will be greatly appreciated. *update* tried adding the drivers in @ the raid f6 option and it just continued as if i hadn't pressed f6 :(

After pressing F6, you won't get an immediate screen requesting a drivers disk, it happens after additional parts of the setup load. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft.

The only other option, beyond supplying drivers via F6 is to integrate drivers into your own copy of Windows XP installation media. Alternatively, if you have access to a M200 docking station, then you can use a standard toshiba Select Bay optical drive and install without needing drivers. Cheers Ken

I'd also incorporated the drivers into the installation cd using nlite, but unfortunately it still bluescreens.
