Cannot format second HARD on a Satellite P200-13 s PSPBGE drive

Nice day

I have a s system of Satellite P200-13 friends in front of me who was reinstalled using the recovery CD.
It took me some time to update the operating system (Vista Home Premium SP1) after that and so on.
I've also renewed the BIOS. The system seems stable, everything is on a green status but I have a problem.

This system has got 2 hard drives, C:\ on which runs the operating system and programs are installed and there is therefore a 2nd HARD drive D:\.
Now, if I look in the hardware Manager or disk management tool, I can see this disc and it says that it is functional and ready but the disc needs to be formatted before using it, which seems logical, of course.

When I try to format the formatting begins, but after a few seconds, I get a message that there have been a failure and it cannot be formatted. The State of the disk is still no failures.

What is a defect in the disc itself? He was untouched and has worked before.
Thanks for any help or idea.

Hello

How have you tried to format this HARD drive?
You can describe it in the steps of the view?

The HARD drives are usually already formatted and you don't need to format it again...
Check if you can access the second HDD and save files on it!

  • The recovery disk reformatted TWO hard disks on Satellite P200?

    Hello

    My Satellite P200 has two hard drives.
    When I use the recovery disc, it reformatted both drives or only one where Vista will be? I chose the first option, by the way.
    Thank you, in advance, for your help.

    If you choose the first option in recovery then it reformatted only the first HARD drive and it will consider the other HDD as additional storage space, as if it were a memory stick. When you get to the point of recover where you choose the operating system to install, it takes an option for settings or Expert mode. In one of them, I think that you can configure recovery and set up partitions.

    If you want the operating system must be installed on both drives HARD, which is a bit useless, you have to remove one then do the reocvery on the other and then replace the retrieved by another and then to perform the recovery on that one. The only thing that I think this will mess up to comes from the computer won't know what MBR (Master Boot Record) to load, but if this isn't a problem then you can do what I just mentioned.

    I hope this helps.

  • Can I use a second disk on my Satellite P200?

    Hi all

    I want to thank my 1E9 P200 with the second hard disk. But I could not found some connectors in the expansion slot. Thanks for the reply :-)

    PS: The great machine ;-)

    Hello

    I know it sounds strange, but the P200 series was delivered with a second internal HARD drive Bay.
    But not every P200 was equipped with the second HARD disk controller.
    If you can't put the P200 with the second HARD disk if the HARD drive interface is missing.

    Sorry, nothing to see :(

    See the article below, which deals with a similar question

    During installation, you are unable to format a Partition with a file Allocation Table Format

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/301340/

    You can use the Windows XP installation disc as many times as you want on the same computer

    Note: All programs on the computer and the data will be lost if you format the hard drive. It is recommended to make a backup of your data before performing any Installation of Windows.

  • Satellite P200-140-CD/DVD drive does not read the CD

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite P200-140. The DVD/CD Player plays all DVDs without problem. However, it does not read CD. A message 'no disc' appears.
    I've updated the drivers, cleaned the lens, completed all the normal tasks.

    Any advise / solutions out there?

    Hello

    Maybe you should try to remove the capital letters and lowerfilters in the registry, because you can often read here in the forum:

    (1) run regedit (Start-Run-Regedit online online)
    2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    I hope this works for you too! :)

    Good bye

  • Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

    I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
    He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

    When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

    I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

    Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

    Thanks for anyone who can help you.

  • Bad SD card format has been reported on Satellite P200 - Vista 32 bit

    The player card on my laptop seems to have stopped working. I checked the Device Manager and there is no warning in there. I reinstalled the Flashmedia driver just to be sure and rebooted but still no joy.

    The map seems to be recognized to some extent as Windows Explorer shows 'SD Card (f)', but in the management of the computer-> Storage-> disk management F: appears as 23,78 GB of unallocated space... which is rather strange, because it's a 1 GB SD card.

    The only major updates (other than Windows Update), I've done since Christmas (when I finally remember how the map works) was to install the update of the BIOS 2.50 a.,

    Anyone know of any issued with this BIOS version and card readers?

    Sorry buddy but I don t see any SD card problems!
    The SD card has been recognized in windows (My Computer) and seems to work correctly. The size of the SD card seems to be reported wrong
    Is this good?

    I recommend to format the SD card using the Toshiba tool (if pre-installed) and then you can check the size of SD card in the SD card properties.

  • Satellite P200/S04 PSPB6A - Infrared Driver for Win 7

    I recently updated my Toshiba P200/S04 (PSPB6A-0CS04M) for Windows 7 32 bit. After upgrading my media Center remote did not work, and I found that it was because Windows didn't detect my infrared device, with nothing else appearing in Device Manager.

    There is no drivers Windows 7 available for the infrared device, so I tried to use the 32-bit driver for Vista, but without success. Does anyone know how or where I can get a driver or device, as it is frustrating not being able to use the remote control with the computer.

    Hello

    AFAIK the irda (infrared driver) Vista is used to transfer files or folders to an infrared device. It s is not necessary for the functionality of remote control!

    The remote control can be used as part of Windows Media Center.
    Therefore, start the WMC in order to test the infrared control.

    Can I use display driver other than the driver from Toshiba support page?
    I recently got a massage from microsoft solution centar who recommend me to visit the AMD web site to find the most recent driver.
    So I wonder if I can get my license with ordinary, non-Toshiba driver and that I could possibly get or lose with it?

    Hello

    You can use it but only at your own risk.
    The non-Toshiba graphics card drivers are not tested and don t support protection against overheating which contribute to avoid a damage due to higher temperature GPU.

    The non-Toshiba graphics card driver must be installed in the Device Manager.
    Then, use you an advanced installation procedure and can point to the driver files, stored on the HARD drive.

  • Satellite P200 - 1 FT - audio driver for win 7

    Hello!

    First: I know that Toshiba offers only a 'pilot limited' support for Win 7...
    I'm looking for a driver for my sound devices. That's why I need to know what audio chip is installed in the laptop. I know it's a realtek chip, but not which...

    Is this device 5.1 audio - device? There are 2 outputs, then I would be happy if you ;)

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    The device supports a Realtek HD audio chip.
    There is only one pilot on the page of the Realtek driver that is compatible with the HD audio chip.

    You can use the Realtek audio driver, which was published for example for other portable devices such as L500 or A300 series
    The audio driver should work as well. !

  • Satellite P200-1 - can I use 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I am always working on my Satellite P200-1 and now, my HDD1 is full.

    I see that there is a location for a second HDD. But I can't find the plug!

    Therefore, it is possible to connect a second HDD on my satellite P200-1BY? Because I bought a new HARD drive and I can't plug it, I only have 7 days to return the HARD drive to the store.

    Thanks for your replies!

    Hello

    If the connector to the second HARD drive is not available there is no way to use two internal hard drives.
    This HARD back and buy HDD external, placed in the HARD disk box. This HARD drive you can connect using the USB cable and it is the best solution for you.

    I guess that HARD disk internal, you have lots of data that you don't need every day and you can save it to external HARD drive. So you can do free space on the internal HARD disk.

    I do the same.
