• Cannot install WinXP on Satellite Pro A200 - No. HDD

  Hello

  Please can someone help me. I just brought 52 portable Satellite Pro A200. They come with pre-installed Vista, but I want to wipe and install Windows XP. However, I have a big problem - when I put my XP CD in and start it, then click on enter to continue, he tells me that the Installation cannot continue until Windows cannot find any hard drives (although I can boot under Vista so I know that the HARD drive are ok).

  Thanks for looking,

• Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

  Hello

  I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a license to retail for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition (with SP1) is installed.

  Before installing Vista, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
  BIOS version is now 2.20 - WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]

  After the installation of the operating system, I installed "Value package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) that contains the "utility Flash Cards". In my understanding, the installation of the "value added package" should allow the use of Fn keys.
  This doesn't seem to be true or not true.

  Here's what's happening.

  -Prior to installation of the 'value-added' package, all Fn keys did not work.
  -After installation of the "value added package", if the process of TCrdMain.exe is running, all Fn keys do not work.
  -If I remove the startup TCrdMain.exe and I restart the PC, only a few keys Fn function (Fn + ESC, Fn + F1).

  There is no way (or I have not found a way) for all keys Fn works.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thanks in advance,

  mme000

  I am not sure, but it may be because of the SP1. I installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and stuff all listed (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.

  Contains your Vista DVD facilities SP1 or you install on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate Edition (without SP1) and all the stuff on the Toshiba support site order Instructions of facilities.

• Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E: Can't get the shortcut keys don't work on Win XP

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E that came with Vista on it, I reinstalled Win XP Pro installed with relevant drivers download Toshiba page but cannot get working shortcut keys.

  I installed the controls and the driver, but that doesn't seem to work. Saw an ad on "common module" somewhere, but can't seem to find any links to download on the download page.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you very much

  Iain

  The control utility and driver controls allow you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings. But it is not a FN keys!

  You must install the Hotkey utility if you want to use the FN keys.

  Another tip:
  It is important that all Toshiba drivers and utilities are installed in the correct order.
  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find a txt file called installation instructions.
  Please install all drivers and tools in the order mentioned in this instruction!

  Greetings

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - key stuck FN

  Hallo,

  I installed my vista Ultimate on my new Satellite Pro A200 but FN key does not work after you have installed the Package of added value (they work again after uninstallation). In addition to, there is an error of invalid series in support of cards Flash Utility Setup. Toshiba said, I need to get the Toshiba vista home system - I am not satisfied with this response.
  If there is one body, who have the selfextrated support of Flash Cards Utility Setup files?

  Another point: someone knows how to set properties of fan? The cooling system works too hard for a few seconds by the temperature of 33 ° C CPU. Is this software like SpeedFan or an upgrade of the BIOS is?

• [Satellite Pro A200] - slow when problems of transfer and the warmth of the data.

  Hi people.

  I have a 1.5 years old Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with 200 GB HARD drive standard. For some time, his behavior is just... weird.

  Sometimes the system slows down. She behaves just slow, it freezes frequently for a second when simple tasks such as entering the text. It; s busiest during intensive data transfers (e.g. copy files via FTP from my copy of the USB or LAN), but sometimes it happens even when no application other than Firefox does. It is not apparent, so I wonder - service it will take in terms of warranty (which means - is there a probability that you will say that everything is perfect and charge me for it?)
  The computer was once on the repair under warranty, they replaced the HARD drive with another. Is it possible that the other has problems as well (check S.M.A.R.T. discovers nothing). Or is it maybe faulty SATA controller?

  Another thing is the temperature. During the normal work (Internet, MS Word) two hearts runs at 60 * C. When the set temperature may exceed 90 * C and the computer sometimes shuts down. I guess the problem is dust accumulated inside the laptop but I do not see how can I clean.

  Go to the service of this kind of problems?

  Virus scanners can slow a system down considerably, what antivirus do you use?

  If you have a lot of programs installed, perhaps its time to back up your data and reinstall Windows. I do it myself every year since Windows tends to become bloated and slow after a while.

  With respect to the dust, you can Sauté using a can of compressed Air sprayed through the main entrance of air (when the system is off).
  Or if dust is really bad, you will need to send it to a Service provider authorized to do so and cleaned disassembled.

• Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E - what BIOS I need for the update and how?

  Please on A) the correct updated version needs to B) process

  (A) the machine came with Vista installed, but it has been ranked towards the bottom to XP works on Win2003/XP network.

  The current bios to V5.20 do update to 2.60 - win 32 (vista) or win 5.60

  (B) Toshiba FAQ - FAQ ref: TRO0000000b07 shows how to upgrade the bios unfortunately it does not list the satellite Pro A200 - then what is the procedure - thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  If you want to update the BIOS, you need version 5.60. Are the other version for Vista and 5,60 only one is for XP and if it s the right one for you.

  The BIOS update procedure is quite easy. The update is based on Windows, which means that you can update it on Windows. So to extract all files from zip archive and run the exe file. Then updated your BIOS.
  But before update you, close all programs running even your AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.

  Good luck!

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - update CPU and chipset

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) with a processor Intel Celeron M 540 (1.86 GHz) and a Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family.
  I upgraded the RAM, but it's just not enough performance for me as its limited to 2 GB.
  I know that Toshiba will not admit it, but I've heard people have updated this type of processor before. I can't afford a new laptop altogether but will settle for upgrades I get.

  My questions are;

  Are there companies in New Zealand that can upgrade my processor and/or my Chipset?

  I also noticed that space to the second HDD has no media or in any case to add another HARD disk, is it because of my laptop or is it a manufacturing defect?

  Are there also companies who can add these mounts to my board so I can have a second HDD?

  First, the chipset is not extensible. It s soldered onto the motherboard and can't be exchanged. In addition, on the CPU upgrade, you should read this article that I founded in the area of the FAQ:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
  The point is that the new processor must be supported from the motherboard, BIOS and chipset and it is not so easy.

  Install a second HDD is not a problem if you have a second connector to HARD drive (I know SATA) in the second HARD drive Bay. I think some of the Satellite Pro A200 models were fitted with a second HDD and some other laptops are not. So if you have the connector in the Bay, you can install an additional HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA: need driver Lan and screen for XP

  Hey

  Please help me!

  I just installed XP on my new satalite pro, but I had trouble with the drivers.
  For the moment, I installed most but from this site, I can't seem to find a driver that will help my network card, or my video NIVIDIA player...

  any suggestions would be very valuable

  The Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA is unclear to me. I know the PSAE1, the PSAE4 and the PSAE7Satellite Pro A200. So could you please confirm your Pro A200 series?

  If you do not find only XP drivers on the Toshiba page I would recommend checking the LAN and graphics chip installed on the motherboard and use drivers XP from the manufacturing of the chip.

  If you need a graphic driver, I advise to use the drivers from the site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com

• The mouse no longer works on Satellite Pro A200-1F9 (on Windows and Linux)

  Hello. Suddenly, my USB mouse doesn't work on my satellite pro A200-1F9 laptop. I had this same problem on my Linux (Ubuntu Feisty) for the last week or two, but today was the first time that the mouse no longer works in Windows. Ideas for what's gone wrong? (If I boot Linux with the attached mouse, I get an error message when loading upward.) The mouse does not work it is logged at startup or I plug it later).

  Under Windows and Linux, the laptop still recognizes my external HD which also has a USB connection...

  Thanks, Shoko.

  In my opinion, you should test the USB feature. If you are 100% sure that the USB ports are working well check your mouse or try to use the other.

  Laptop mouse pad still works?

• Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista possible installed dual boot?

  Hello

  I don't know if I'm here the XP OS but I post because it is OS related.

  My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) works well with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.

  Basically, I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on a system. * Goal *, computers laptops satellite Pro A200 are delivered with a BIOS for XP and Vista, and with the information you need to install the right pair. For me, this means that you will install the BIOS for XP when running BIOS for Vista and XP in Vista.

  Question:
  Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and have installed XP BIOS?
  Boot loader would be Acronis OSS like this charger already managing my two XP partitions.

  Thank you very much for any information!

  Best regards

  Hello

  In my opinion there is no serious reason, why you should t be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.

  Okay, there's a different BIOS for Vista 64-bit, 32-bit and Win XP, but your Vista should also work using the BIOS for Win XP.

  I have other laptops Satellite series and I m able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean I have a choice to start Vista or XP ;) and I m still using the old version of the BIOS.
  OK some functions are not available as FN keys, but this is not very important for me.

  Well, to cut this story, I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

• 'Common module' missing for XP on Satellite Pro A200

  Hi all

  I received my portable computer Pro A200 (PSAE7) Satellite with a Vista operating system.
  I made a fresh & clean in this regard XP installation using the Toshiba installation instructions document.
  Everything works well except my Fn + F6 Fn + F7 Fn + F8 keys for wireless and screen brightness.

  I did some research on the internet and I found this page:
  -http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7401VB0003R01.htm

  Looks like I need the facility of "common module" Installer to operate access keys.
  But the problem is that the 'common' module is not available on the page of the driver for XP...
  If I change the Vista operating system type "Value package" is available, but it is not compatible on XP...
  I tried to download and install a 'common' module for Satellite Pro A120 model, but I got a "TVALZ" error when installing...

  Toshiba support forgot to upload a module 'common' installer of XP for Satellite Pro A200?
  How can I run my Fn + F6 Fn + F7 Fn + F8 keys?

  Any help will be really appreciated!
  Thank you

  Peut

  HM, do you already have a BIOS update? I guess you know that you need the Bios XP when installing XP on your machine?
  Usually these keys should work since the machine is powered (or explain it better: keys should be available from the BIOS, not OS) which depends on the BIOS, so please update your BIOS to the XP version if it is not already done and give some feedback.

  See you soon

• Operating system to load BIOS for Satellite Pro A200

  Hello

  I have a PSAE4E - 03300WEN Satellite Pro A200 with V5.30 BIOS and Windows 7 SP1 32 bit.
  I improved the T2330 CPU to T8100 and thought to update the BIOS for increased functionality.
  But in the Toshiba download page, I get the following 3 options:

  2.60 - WIN32 this Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! (32-bit only!)
  2.60 - WIN64 this Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! (64-bit only!)
  5, 60 - WIN this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!

  And the question is...
  What about Windows 7? I should stick to V5.30 or go to a newer version? :-/

  See you soon!

  > I improved the T2330 CPU to T8100 and thought to update the BIOS for increased functionality.

  First of all laptop manufacturers (any manufacturer it is) don t support CPU updates.
  Of course, you can replace the CPU but it's your own risk.

  But what I mean is that updates of BIOS don't provide additional functionality or improves which would increase the functionality after upgrade CPU and this means that the BIOS update is not necessary to obtain better performance even after upgrade CPU.

  However, certain phrases on your BIOS question:
  5.60 BIOS seems to be released for portable computers running Win XP:

  Other versions of BIOS (v2.60 32-bit and 64-bit) are released for Vista systems I guess that this version should be compatible with Win 7 since its more similar to Vista to Win XP

  However, you changed the processor and consequently the hardware configuration is different now, I can't say for sure if the BIOS update would be the best option in this case
