• Equium A200-1V0 - recovery on the new HARD drive problem

  Hello

  Hoping someone can help, I just mounted a new Toshiba 1 TB hard drive for my Equium A200-1V0, used the Vista came with the computer recovery disk, everything seems to be installed ok, but when you try to start, I get a message saying that Windows Vista is unable to run on this hardware. Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Thank you

  There must be a compatibility problem. Usually the hard drives up to 500 GB are not problematic for the old machines.
  If possible, try to install the version of the OS. When you can get Win7 32 bit would be great. Win7 32-bit is supported for your machine and in my view, it will work perfectly.

• Equium A200-1V0 does not start after recovery

  Hi all

  I have Toshiba Equium A200-1V0.

  I wanted to restore Vista back to the factory settings and used the recovery disc - everything seems to go well, selected 'no' on the disc Add on to the end, as I don't seem to have one. When you restart the laptop, it goes beyond the post screen, then darkness... nothing happens at all.

  Now, I thought that maybe there was a hardware problem, so I tested it using a copy of Windows XP I - installs fine, no problem. I noticed that the recovery partition "Winre" was 1.5 GB in size and 1.37 GB free. I guess that's complete, it contains a file called "boot.sdi" and the folder called 'sources' in the 'sources' folder there is a file called "boot.wim" and that's, I don't know if this is right.

  Whatever it is, I can't get the thing to work with the recovery disk (Vista Home Premium) and there seems to be no hardware issues that XP is fine.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Try to remove all partitions on the HARD disk and re-run recovery.

  You can use FDISK on a BACK (www.bootdisk.com) boot disk to delete partitions non-dos.

  Hello

  Don t think you will be able to create an own Toshiba Recovery CD.
  In the document of Toshiba, you can see this info:

  Only templates that come with it "Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility" (ie: Tecra A2)

  It seems that the Equium A200 was already delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD and you have no need to create a new.
  The procedure described above applies to the Toshiba laptop computer which were delivered without the recovery CD

  Best regards and happy new year ;)

• Equium A200-1V0 - how to use the Toshiba Recovery CD product?

  I used the reinstall xp on desktop before but do not need to do a reinstall on your laptop (toshiba) with vista with their product recovery disc. With vista, I had to find my own drivers etc. after the OS is installed on a clean drive.

  I want to clean the disc by using a product of drive wipe as Dariks boot and nuke (used on office/xp computers some time and as a very clean before you reinstall drive) on my laptop Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 before inserting the product recovery cd.

  Questions-
  (1) is it ok to erase drive with DBAN - this usually effect the ability of the recovery CD to do its job?
  (2) how can I use the product recovery cd or it is free it is exposed just charge, boot from the cd and follow the instructions online?
  (3) it will return the laptop to the factory shipping status (i.e. don't have no need to look for the drivers, etc.)?

  Thank you very much for your help - just need to be reassured that have not is it a wipe and reinstall on your laptop and vista with a "recovery disc" (always a disc not specify that it is a full copy of the operating system

  Hello James

  The recovery procedure everything is very simple and here are the answers to your questions:

  # You should not do. Before installing recovery starts the disk HARD integer will be automatically formatted, created new partitions and OS will be installed on the first
  # Start Notepad and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. When the menu is displayed a recovery media in the optical disc drive. In the menu choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. Follow the meny on the screen. After that two or three click OK installation will be implemented.
  # Yes

  When the installation is complete just start computer laptop again and wait until the operating system will be prepared for the first start. It is not necessary to install any additional software.

• Problems with iTunes sync - Equium A200-1v0

  Hello

  wonder if someone could help with this?

  I have trouble to synchronize my Toshiba Equium A200-1v0 with my iphone in itunes.
  The laptop worked well with an ipod for years are, however, have no joy with the iphone.

  Someone suggested that my drivers may need to be updated.
  How can I find the specific drivers needed?
  Anyone else had a similar problem with itunes?

  Thank you

  Why do you want to update the driver for laptop?
  This has nothing to do with the laptop.
  I guess that this is related to the Apple software and I recommend to reinstall this kind of things together.

  I had also some problems with the iTunes software. I put like that, but I need to synchronize the files with my iphone and I had to reinstall it many times to make it work.

• Re: Equium A200-1V0: Vista won't load - system restore does not

  Toshiba Equium A200-1V0, purchased January ' 08
  Vista Home Premium

  Upgrade office 2007, rebooted fine, saved all the files. I went looking for vista security updates & Office including. Net3.0 - pc crashed during installation. F8 to repair pc & system restore to front office installed. everything seemed well & rebooted ok so I have backed up all critical files.

  reinstalled office 2007 & vista hanging on the required reboot.

  Try to load in safe mode & vista hangs at crcdisk.sys. It was suggested to remove all pcmcia & 1394 drivers, but the switches/s/p do not work in command prompt so I can't be sure enough to find them all to delete or rename.

  F8 for pc repair & while the menu appears, it is very slow to get there.
  Startup Repair detects no problem, System Restore won't work, so assuming that restore lost points (there were a few elders before the one I went to). Command prompt will run.

  Toshiba has provided a system restore disc, but crashes after language selection. It was suggested that the disk was duff, so I downloaded the ISO to a disk of vista without the extras toshiba restore & that said it is loading & then sits right on the blue/green screen of vista.

  I have a basic family official OEM of Vista editing copy for a new machine, I do build, so tried to boot from a full installation of windows (without formatitng) - this also hangs on the blue/green screen of vista. This is my first to face with a laptop without a correct installation disc, so if I format & reinstall the will I lose the recovery partition?

  Any other ideas of what to try?

  Hello

  I think that it s nothing wrong with the software, but with the hardware
  If the reinstallation of Vista is not possible then this could be caused by a hardware problem
  I can only suggest on the malfunction of HARD, RAM disk. Everything is possible

  If I you would be then I would format the whole HARD drive I would be to delete all partitions and would try to reinstall the operating system from the recovery CD

  If it is not possible, then you should ask the ASP in your country for a control from laptop s!

  Good luck

• Equium A200-1V0 - just freezes very often

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Equium A200-1V0. It freezes just very often to watch movies, browse the net or just listening to music and it makes a strange noise like when winamp freezes, but the music is still playing.
  I have windows 7.

  What can I do? SRY for my English

  Hi eidrian88,

  I think that it of difficult to say something because it can be everything... I want to say that no one knows what you have installed exactly so it could be a software or a hardware problem.

  In my opinion the best way to identify the exact problem is reinstall with the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore software factory with all the drivers and tools. If these settings are pre-tested and should work correctly.

  Otherwise it might be a hardware malfunction and an authorized service provider can verify this.

• Noisy hard drive Equium A200-1V0

  I recently bought an Equium A200-1V0 with Vista installed.
  I got it two weeks, I have barely any software, but HDD is impregnated with a really annoying crackling sound.

  It is not only during startup, even for the simplest of programs, such as word, brands of hard drive of my laptop this incessant crackling noise.
  I thought that the laptops are supposed to be quiet.

  Is - this usual?

  > I thought laptops are supposed to be quiet.
  ;) not. You can't say that all laptops must be altogether. As you know there are a lot of series of laptops that is designed for the different areas of work.
  For example: professional laptops are quite little, and don t support the high performance devices like for example graphics card to play games, but a X 200 was desigened to the game and it is much noisier because of high performance devices.

  However, to the noisy HARD drive
  I have 2 different laptops. Drives my M40 of Sam makes strange noises, but it works very well, so in my case I would exclude a hardware problem

  But who knows, maybe you HDD starts I have malfunction would recommend shows the additional HARD drive activities and to safeguard important data.

  Best regards

• Equium A200-1V0 - SMART failed on start

  Hello

  I bought an Equium A200-1V0 just for more than a year. My problem is that he went really slow and really fast heat-up to the top.

  Now ever time I switch on a message appears
  "SMART failure provided on hard disk 2: Toshiba mk1237gsx-(s1).
  WARNING immediately back up your data and replace your hard disc.a failure may be imminent. »

  The laptop does not load on normal mode. There on the days just to check if it does load eventually but no result.
  All the world has experienced the same problem and found a solution?
  What I need to replace the hard drive or the problem to solve if some how to recover the laptop (I only ask because I read on another forum, he worked)
  Also, I have not received a recovery with the portable disk where I get that from?

  Any help is appreciated thank you!

  Hello

  SMART failure says it all! You need to replace the HARD drive permanently and that is also the reason why the laptop doesn't start in normal mode. Your HARD drive is defective and must be replaced!

  Reinstallation of the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery disk doesn't solve this problem. A failed HARD drive has nothing to do with the OS and software.
  Also if you have Vista you can create a recovery disc yourself. Normally on the first boot, you get a message that you should burn this disc using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  If you didn t it yet you can order a Toshiba recovery disc directly:

  However, there is no problem with the audio CD, but when I insert a data disc such as the software considers the disk is empty and try to format the drive.
  I searched internet day for solutions and tried without success to the following:

  Removed the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry.
  Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.
  Bought DriverWhiz (waste of money!)
  Tried to access disc command prompt that generated the message "incorrect function".
  Tried to use the enforcement function and access an exe file that I know is on the disk, but it comes up saying I need to format the drive
  Uninstall service packs

  I uninstalled real player

  My laptop Equium A200 1V0 freezes as soon as I plug the power running. I tried the new battery and new AC adapter after reading some solutions of the internet but so far without success. It works fine without the plug'in ac, but as soon as I join to food it freezes and I have to force the shutdown of the machine which is not good.

  I would be very grateful if someone can give me please the solution in detail the problem mentioned above and also let me know the cause of this disorder as well?

  Thanks for reading this thread and for your efforts.

  Kind regards

  Hey,.

  You use an AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter? In my view the problem must be related to AC/DC adapter or the motherboard itself

  Important is that you use Toshiba parts only to test with an AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter. If it doesn't work, it seems that the motherboard is faulty. These serious physical issues can only be set to an authorized service then you should contact the guy and ask for help. ;)

• On Equium A200-1V0 unknown BIOS password

  Hello

  I have an Equium A200-1v0 when turned to is ask a password of bios for which I have not so how do I solve this problem.

  markb68

  The BIOS battery has nothing to do with the BIOS password so don t spend your time disassembled. It can happen that do you some damage.
  I put t know how much it costs but if the laptop works well it is a worth paying. This old A200 is not bad machine and works perfectly with Win7 32 bit so that you can use next years without problem.

  Thanks in advance...

  Hey,.

  There are several laptops Toshiba with 15 screen I think that the important point is the price because other requirements such as 2 GB RAM, 200 GB, etc are no problem. Most laptop have 4GB or more of RAM and also tough with more disk space.
  Moreover the Intel Core i3 processor is standard CPU at the moment, some models have a Core i5

  Take a look at Satellite C650, L650 and L750. These models are to fundamental factors such as Internet, music, videos and simple games.

  You can compare all models on the official page of Toshiba:
