• Cannot install the Modem Satellite Pro A200 XP driver

  I'm a local network for Newbold College administrator. New mobile A200 and we need XP Pro on some of them. I tried to install the modem driver as one of the last drivers downloaded from the website of European support. I also tried the Canadian site as well.

  The driver installation program does not appear to do anything. I tried to manually install the driver for a Windows modem Agse/Toshiba software modem, but I have com port problems and I can not quire of the modem.

  Can someone help me please!

  Hello

  What to say; I checked the driver Toshiba Europe page and found all the drivers XP necessary and important for the Satellite Pro A200.

  Please note that the European driver Toshiba page provides drivers XP 3 different satellite Pro A200 series! There are PSAE1, PSAE4 and PSAE7 series.
  Please choose the right!

  In addition, you will find a txt file of installation instruction on the page of Tosh.
  In this file, you will find a good and important driver installation order! Please follow these steps!

  I put t know exactly why you get the modem com port problems but I guess a new installation of XP and the driver should fix this strange problem.

  Good luck

• Some devices are not correctly installed on the Satellite Pro A200

  I have the Satellite Pro A200 psae7e. and I also have a problem with the PCI memory controller, Modem device on high definition audio bus, mass storage controller, because they are marked in yellow in the Device Manager.

  My knee works fine... sata works fine, graphic controller & etc. Everything in the natural order. but I don't want the yellow icons in Device Manager.

  How to solve this problem. I installed all the drivers, but there is still that the yellow icons that appear.

  And could someone tell me what is the PCI memory controller? Is that the shared memory?

  PCI memory controller is Intel Turbo Memory, also called chip logic Intel Flash cache
  It s a new technology designed to support the new features of Vista.
  There is no driver for Windows XP because XP doesn t supports the cache feature.

  The component of embedded controller compatible ACPI Microsoft supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) AC adapter device objects that the operating system uses to manage the resources of power.
  Seems that you BIOS does not support this!

  Update the BIOS to version XP!

• Brightness, function keys, WinXP and Satellite Pro A200

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A200 (serial PSAE7E) with WIndows Vista and try to install Windows XP next.
  After hours of hunting for drivers (with moderate success) and try to install a XP in a privileged way (3rd partition main, 2nd is for Vista), I stopped.

  I am not able to get to work a function keys (keys, light, monitor, CPU frequency and wireless) XP. Under Vista, these keys only works when Toshiba Flash Cards application is running - when I turn this app, these keys are also unavailable (why?).

  I browsed a forum and found a few threads also wrote about this topics, update BIOS to version XP
  But I do not found answers to my questions:

  (* 1) * is a software (like FlashCards, but for XP) _Activer under XP system function keys? configuration: (Vista + XP + BIOS for Vista)

  (* 2) * if I install a BIOS XP version, what happens to my Vista system installed on my laptop? It stops stating, or function keys stop responding or even a different Components would be inaccessible?
  Someone has tested the configuration like this (Vista + XP + BIOS for XP)

  (* 3) * it is possible to Flash the BIOS to the version of Vista the XP version and still the version of Vista? (maybye I should Flash the BIOS before you start the system?)

  Currently I use the BIOS version 1.70 of Vista, Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD and XP SP2.

  Hi mate,

  long discussion, short answer:

  1. no it not there no software (no software officially released and taken in charge) that is available for XP on a Sat A200.

  2. your system will operate normally, only the behavior of the function keys on bios level will change. If you Flash the bios with the XP version that the function keys should be available under XP without any software.

  3 Yes, it s definitely possible to reflash the BIOS since many clients have machines with XP and want to use Vista (I never understand but hey..)

  I hope that every question has been answered.

• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

• Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

  History:

  I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

  IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

  IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

  I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

  The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

  How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

  I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

  This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

  However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

  Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
  Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

  For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

  Good bye

• Cannot install windows on Satellite Pro A40

  Hi I read through all the posts and I can't seem to find an answer.

  My problem is that...

  I tried to install windows from a full version and when I want to install windows on a partition it fails. If I try to delete the partition, it fails. If I use the recovery discs - Option 1 not entered completely load - looks like Gdisk? error and then a ghost. Option 2 loads but when I go again to install fails.

  I can't find an option in the bios to prevent disk access - as a protection against boot viruses. the key under the keyboard, I tried in both positions.

  I removed the battery to see if it is a power problem.

  I tried using the options of recovery in win xp - but cannot access the drive

  The really strange thing is over the option of recovery disks 2 - the size of the disk is larger than the actual size of about 1/3?

  The system initially went down while it is connected to the internet - the only option I can thing of is a power surge came down the line and has damaged the motherboard or hard drive. As it happened to a desktop system - blew 3 modems and a UPS before we have located the problem.

  Help!

  Hello

  tried to check and format the drive with an external tool? I'll give you a suggestion: try the "ultimate boot cd" which has many tools also some tools for the maintenance of hard drives.

  You can get the picture here: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

  Just burn it to a CD, boot and choose the tool for your hard drive to check it out and repartition it.

  It could be that useful...

• XP installation LAUGH on 32 Satellite Pro A200 laptop via computer

  Hello

  Can anyone help? I try to install 32 laptops (Satellite Pro A200) through Services of Installation Windows 2003 Server remotely. I had problems with network cards and now have these working by adding pilots in a $OEM$, $1, drivers, network card and record the thought that it might be easy to use the same solution to install the drivers for the SATA controller. How wrong could I be! I'm now pulling my hair out. The machines have the drivers installed in the same way ($ $OEM$ etc.) in a directory marked sata. I used the drivers from the Intel - extracts on floppy disk and copied from there site. Whenever I try to recreate the image, I get the same error "Windows does not detect hard drives" and it drives me crazy! I edited risstnrd.sif, textsetup.oem etc etc nothing works.

  I found a link on the German Toshiba site to download the drivers in this situation, but the link is quite slow, I tried to download these drivers now three different places (3 different accounts of ADSL) and each begins at about 36 k per second then decreases until bytes per second and then fails. (It's only a 21 MB file!)

  If someone managed to deploy these laptops via RIS? If so can you please let me know how you got it done and what drivers you used?

  Thank you very much

  Hello Mark

  I think LAUGH installation complicated theme and I'm really skeptical anyone will be able to help you. If you have time, try using the advanced search and check the RIS results as search terms.

  Otherwise, you can create your own recovery DVDs and use it for the installation of the OS. For the recovery procedure, you need 20 minutes.

• Satellite Pro A200 - SD card works only on Windows 7

  Hello

  I tried to install Windows 7 rtm downloaded from the MSDN site. Once I installed it, my Satellite Pro A200 works fine, but the built in SD card reader does not work, that nothing happens when I insert an SD card, it is not recognized.
  Can anyone of you help me?

  Thank you very much.

  Francesco.

  Excuse for my English.

  Hello

  Have you installed a driver for the SD card?
  OK you will not find a Windows 7 driver yet, but most of the Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7.

  Normally you need a driver for the SD card, so you may notice yellow exclamation in Device Manager?

  What types of SD cards are you trying? In the user manual, you can find a list of supported SD cards.

  Hi Peter,.

  Try you to an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If Yes, please try a new and clean Windows 7 installation. It work?

  Another question: your CD/DVD drive works properly or it appears with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager?
  In your case, I would try to remove the drive from Device Manager, then restart the laptop. After that the drive will be recognized automatically.

  Hello

  You must include the SATA drivers.
  The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page.

• Satellite Pro A200 cannot connect to the wireless network

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 and Tuesday night I was able to connect to a wireless network. I received an update, rebooted and now it doesn t seem to work.

  I can see the wireless networks available via the Toshiba Radar but cannot connect to my usual wireless network.
  Also, the wireless network icon disappeared from my system tray and if I go to Control Panel/network connections, I can't even view available networks because there is no option to do so.

  Any ideas?
  the FN/F8 will work?
  Help! Please, I beg you!

  Have you tried using System Restore and restore the operating system on time earlier?
  Maybe this will remove the update installed, and you can again use the WLAN.
