Disk Operations - Panasonic Toughbook CF-29LCQGCBM Reference Manual

Dealing with Problems (Advanced)
Connecting Peripherals
The following phenomena occur
The LAN transmission speed slows
down dramatically
Poor performance when forwarding
data via a PC Card
(e.g., unstable video images when
writing videos to a DV camera
using an IEEE1394 PC Card)
<Only for models with wireless LAN>
Wireless LAN connection drops out

Disk Operations

Cannot read/write to a floppy disk
Unable to write to a floppy disk
These phenomena may be consequences of performance losses that result
from CPU power-saving functions. Execute the following operations after
logging on to Windows with the administrator authority.
A
Input [c:\util\cpupower\setup.exe] in [start] - [Run], and select [OK].
Follow the on-screen instructions.
B Select [Performance] in [start] - [All Programs] - [Panasonic] - [CPU
Idle Setting] and select [OK], then select [Yes].
The computer will be restarted automatically.
If these phenomena occur even with the above settings, select
[start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power
Options] - [Power Schemes], select [Always On] from [Power
schemes], and select [OK].
• These operations will be helpful in easing the performance losses resulting
from CPU power saving functions, but will not be effective against the
phenomena resulting from other causes. (e.g., noise generated during
periods of exceptionally high load on the CPU, such as during video
playback).
• When these operations are performed, the battery running time will be
reduced to some extent. We thus recommend that when these phenomena
do not occur, you should select [Battery (Windows XP Standard)] in [CPU Idle
Setting], and return [Power schemes] in [Power Options] to [Portable/Laptop].
Are you using either the internal floppy disk drive or the Panasonic CF-VFDU03
USB floppy disk drive (optional)?
Has the floppy disk been correctly inserted?
Has the floppy disk been correctly formatted?
Has the Setup Utility been used to set [Floppy Operation] to [Enable]? (
107)
If you cannot read/write to the internal floppy disk drive while a USB device is
connected, disconnect the USB device and restart the computer, or set [Legacy
USB Support] to [Disable] in [Advanced] menu of the Setup Utility.
Your floppy disk content may be corrupted.
Is the floppy disk write-protected?
