Toshiba L40-17R Notebook
March 21, 2008
Finally, I got my new Toshiba L40-17R notebook. Although it’s little bit slower than the HP 6720, but it’s more robust. The computer is really well-made. The design of the notebook itself is nice. U can find USB ports in a very suitable locations. Network interface is in a very nice place.
The notebook comes with no operating system. However, I have my own copy from my previous notebook. So, I started to install it. Partitioning was very easy using Acronis boot CD. After this, I started the Windows XP installation process. Before the first screen of Windows XP starts (to select Install, Repair or Windows…) I got an error message. The dead blue error message that dumps memory to hard disk and then shuts down computer.
I was shocked to see this message. Is there a problem with the notebook ?!! I decided to perform some search in interent before calling Toshiba customer service. I found this common problem which is with SATA drive.
I will post the solution on the next blog.
However, I’m now running the Windows XP on the laptop and it’s comfortable for me. It achieves exactly my requirements. The most amazing point is that it saved asome good money for me, and at the same time, I got a good brand notebook instead of the bad-made HP notebook.
