How to check if the 2nd HARD drive is possible on the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7?

Hello

My A200/PSAE7 has a 200 GB HARD drive. For backup reasons, I would like to know - or learn to know how check - if my A200 already have the hardware support for a 2nd HARD drive, next to the slot for a 2nd HARD drive.
In the BIOS, I see 'Toshiba MKxxx - hard drive' and 'hard drive - None '. Is the last entry in the BIOS is a sign that a 2nd HARD drive is supported and has to be put in the second location of HARD drive?

Thanks in advance for any answer!

Best regards
Andreas

You can do the following:

Open the cover when the 2nd drive HARD so-called must be installed and check for some SATA connectors or cables. If there is an unused SATA connection so you can upgrade, if no, then you will need to backup your data on USB - HDD or whatever.

If in the BIOS is something now, he won't say that he is physically present.

Welcome them

    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!

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7: Where to find the driver for Win XP ATI

    Hello

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7, I bought and it is with Vista on early. I decided to upgrade (/ downgrade) it to XP, but there is problem with the driver for graphics (Radeon HD 2600 Series).

    I can't find anywhere ati drivers (in fact I found it on the site ati.amd.com, but on this forum that I read that Toshiba drivers are changed so that the Radeon is overheating) and I am wonderig if Vista that works under XP (I downloaded all the drivers but ati one)?

    .. and is possible to downgrade my Vista to XP Pro through Miscrosoft website (or something like that) or do I have to reinstall using my old copy (provided with the old Toshiba)?

    PS.
    Sory for my English

    PS2.
    Is it so important to install the drivers in good condition?

    What do you mean by; There is a problem with the driver ATI XO?

    The European driver Toshiba page provides all the necessary XP drivers and tools.
    The ATI GPU driver came out too!

    An important note; If you want to install XP on this Vista machine, you must update the BIOS to the XP compatible version!

    Regarding your question about the downgrade from Vista to XP Pro via Microsoft site;

    Short answer; No this is not possible!

  • Fanspeed went the Satellite Pro A200

    Hallo,

    the fan speed increases after bios update. I'm not the only one, but all others have the same problem or not? The fan runs every 30 seconds of high level, too strong. In addition, I went outside and again, the fan works every 30 seconds. SpeedFan said that two hearts are on 10 C. So why does the fan work? After checking the toshiba power management, I changed battery. But this view has not helped. The fan runs again every 30 seconds, but the fan speed does not detect a fun Temperation. The two nuclei of 30 c to surf and send. And another fact is that I want to use carrots for 2 GHz and not 800 Mhz (utility). Change cooling EIB defragmentation method and the intel utlity says 800 Mhz to 2 GHz! It seems that the method liminized toshiba carrots at 800 Mhz?

    If there is a chance to roll back the bios, please help me. Or if there is a guy from toshiba, so please tell the BIOS programmers! In addition, my olders toshibas allowes to control the speed of the fan by the bios or software (fanspeed), why does'nt the satellite pro A200? The fan is too strong tension and the offset of the Temperation is at bottom.

    Please another you experiences, even, you have no solution for the problem.

    Bye - Daniel

    (installed under Vista Ultimate system, all new packages of windows and toshiba)

    Have two cell phones of #PSAE1E - 00T002EN Satellite Pro A200 and wanted to know if I can pass the 2 x 1 GB memory 2 x 2 GB?

    If I understand correctly what ask you, you want to upgrade memory of 4 GB laptops.

    The Satellite Pro A200 supports maximum 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB), then you will not be able to use 2 x 2 GB modules.

  • Problems of the product on the Satellite Pro A200 recovery

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200. She runs very slowly and sometimes it crashes when I connect.
    Also the homepage was hacked and I tried several anti-spyware and they did not work.

    I have the product recovery disc, but the problem the DVD rom drive stopped working.
    The light is on, but it will not open unless you use the manual unlocking.
    I removed and checked the connections, but it seems okay.

    The CD-ROM/DVD-rom has disappeared from the Device Manager and does not come under the material.
    I tried the system restore, but it won't work.

    Is there anyway that you can use the product recovery software if you start from a USB?

    I tried to restart the computer and choose boot from CD, but it won't give me this option.
    I looked in the bios and only boot options it gives are hard disk, CD rom, land and FDD

    > Is there anyway that you can use the product recovery software if you start from a USB?

    No, this Toshiba recovery disc cannot be copied to USB flash memory and used for installing the OS. I'm afraid that it would work not m.

    But if you have a Microsoft Windows CD, you should be able to create a USB bootable flash stick. In internet, you will find lots of useful instructions step by step how create this bootable USB key.

    But boot from USB flash memory stick must be definitely possible since the BIOS supports bootable devices on:
    Drive floppy USB, HDD, ODD, Network (LAN), USB memory

  • Question about DVD drive on Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7

    Although the [Specification | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=131911] told my Sat - Pro A200 (PSAE7) comes with a drive DVD Toshiba, it is * NOT * installed in my machine. I tried to download what is called "dvdpl-20070807102909" (what is the program?) download from Toshiba site, but when I double-click on the "setup.exe" inside the application, Windows Vista says 'cannot install this application.

    I also watched inside the recovery disc that comes with the laptop, but nothing obvious to click to install the drive appears.

    Please what could someone help and tell me how to install this DVD player?

    It s a bit strange
    On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find the Toshiba DVD player software.
    It s version 1.10.06 DVD player
    So I assume it must be preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop.

    The restore CD that came with the laptop contains an image of Toshiba. This image should support Windows OS, all Toshiba driver, utility and software tools extra.
    Please insert the recovery CD into the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

    This procedure will format the whole HARD drive and install the operating system again on the laptop.
    After a new installation, please check if the Toshiba DVD player is available!

  • Are XP drivers before buying the Satellite Pro A200

    Hello

    I am trying to take a decision on which laptop Toshiba buy. One of the things I want to do is load XP on a partition. I'm trying so to ensure that the model that I buy, has XP drivers available. I am looking at a number of Satellite Pro A200 and one or two of P200. The problem is - on the Toshiba site, you get in the drivers and you section A200, but it doesn't give you a model number, e.g. 1YY or 1EE. So, how can I know whether or not the model that I am looking to buy has drivers available.

    Also, drivers seem all to be there. For example, the drivers for the modem are available for a whole country, for Vista, but not for XP. But XP is available for most of the components. On some models, I don't see a driver for XP listed for the DVD player.

    Help, please! How can I make sure that I don't end up with the model where I can't load XP?

    Hello

    The European driver Toshiba page provides the drivers for the laptop only computer series and not for single units.
    This means that you should check the Satellite A200 series if you need no drivers (XP or Vista).
    If you need the serial number, then google for Satellite Pro A200 - 1YY and you should get several hits providing a PSAE4E-xxxxx number.

    > Please help! How can I make sure that I don't end up with the model where I can't load XP?
    Is that not all the XP drivers are available for all series of laptops.
    In the worst case, you will need to find the XP drivers XP drivers compatible chip manufacturing sites and 3 third-party sites.

    But in most cases, all current XP drivers are published on the page of the driver.

  • ODD has stopped working on the Satellite Pro A200

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE1E.

    The CD/DVD was working fine and then stopped. I put in another CD and it went through the process of trying to find - but could not.
    It ejects the disc. I tried with other CD in the same direction. Yellow light works during the research process.

    I tried to remove the CD from the Device Manager and remove entries of regedit (as suggested on another thread) all without success.
    The computer is a little over a year old and I have no recourse to assistance centers as I live in West Africa.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    Hello

    Is it possible to boot from the recovery disc?
    I mean the CD/DVD drive reads the original disc Toshiba and it of possible to read other CD or DVD from different manufacturers?

    If all the other disks are not readable then the question looks like a WEIRD error and in most cases the STRANGE must be replaced.

    PS: Please note that if you try to boot from the recovery disc then start a recovery procedure will format the HARD drive and reinstall it the entire image of Toshiba.

  • Where to find info on the Satellite Pro A200 PSAF0A

    I have an A200 Satellite (Pro), number PSAF0A - 03M 019 and so far have NOT had the chance to get the info on the site of Toshiba on this machine, it seems lost as Toshiba is concerned.

    When you use the menu support it rejects serial number or part of the bottom of the machine and there is NO option for the part number in the drop-down list.

    I don't have drivers that I've sorted myself but, I would like to know what BIOS version it is supposed to take, he had originally version 1.20 but my client upgraded to 5.20 and there is no setting in the BIOS to enable the AHCI.

    All I want to do is find some info on this machine, but I didn't do anything but run into dead ends with so-called support Toshiba. Any help I can get would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > I don't need drivers, I sorted it myself, but I would like to know what BIOS version it is supposed to take.

    The newest BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba driver so take a look here
    But no one version of BIOS for Satellite Pro A200 or other A200 series contain the AHCI / compatible mode.
    The controller is still on AHCI. This can be on that other series laptop.
