Install Windows 7 Portege M400 Drivers

I'm trying to upgrade my Portege M400's windows XP to Windows 7. But every time i try to upgrade it it says: windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows needs the driver for device toshiba raid.

I have not done this, but I believe you can do something called 'slipstreaming' a file into the XP installation. Ong bak 3 free download full movie in hindi hd mp4. I think it involves burning your a copy of your install CD with the needed files added and some other installation files modified so the intaller knows about the additional files. Try googling on something like 'XP install slipstream SATA' (without quotes).

Another thing to look into would be whether the Toshiba utility that can create a bootable SD card (which emulates a floppy disk) can be used. I know this existed on the M200, but I never checked to see if it is around on our M400's (and I am not at mine now.). One other thing.

I hope you know that you need the TabletPC version of the installation for XP. This is basically only available through OEM's (technically only with a valid system or hardware component) or through MSDN. The standard installers from retail will not work for this. I attempted to follow the above guide in order to slipstream the sata drivers into the Windows XP image, with no success. I'm not sure if I messed it up in the translation from the SIS drivers mentioned in the article to the M400 raid drivers, however I gave it a shot to no avail. I'm wondering if there is someone out there that is pretty tech savy and has a M400 that might be able to provide a step-by-step guide pertaining to the M400 and slipstreaming the drivers into the Windows image. (probably a big request, but worth a shot).

With only a week left before the pre-order deadline for win7 upgrade, i am now seriously testing win7 rc 32-bit to see if i wanna take the plunge and order the upgrade before the weekend. Has anybody managed to get the following to work? - FN-combo keys (such as adjusting brightness etc) - auto rotate screen when changing to tablet mode - accelerometer i tried to install toshiba's tablet pc extension for vista32 but doesnt seem to have an effect at all.

Also, toshiba value added package doesnt seem to install at all? Whee, toshiba just released a newer and updated beta version of the m400 added value package for windows7 rc, which can now be actually installed (the previous version didnt work for me) auto screen rotation now works, fn-key combos now work because of flashcards actually working for once(and i am glad that they didnt use the stupid and slow animation like they did for the vista version), accelerometer now seem to work too (although not tested thoroughly) i strongly suggest everybody with m400+win7 download the package.
