  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 ;)

• Can I install XP on Equium A200?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A200-1v0 currently under Vista Home Premium, my question is...

  Can I install Windows XP Home Edition on the laptop?
  My only concern are drivers etc...

  Thank you

  Of course, you can install XP on this laptop.
  The laptop seems to belong to the series of PSAF5E. Right now the XP drivers are not available on the Toshiba Europe page, but I think that it s only a matter of time when the drivers will be available.
  You can also try to use a few singles of another series of Satellite Equium A200 XP drivers. Maybe it will be executed

• 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: DVD-RAM UJ-850 s does not read data discs

  My laptop seems to have decided to stop reading data disks.
  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 even thought it might be something to do with the MagicVirtual drive I had installed so I uninstalled completely which

  Hello

  Deleting upper and lower filters was the first idea that I'd like to share with you, but it seems that you have already tried this solution proposal

  How about windows boot CD or a linux live CD?
  Is this possible?

  If not then I thing that the question could be linked to the wrong material work I m thinking on the issue of laser lenses eventually the laser lens can not calibrate properly and this could be a problem

  In this case, only a replacement CD/DVD drive can help greet

• Equium A200-1V0 using XP - recent conversion issues.

  * Hi, *.

  * I recently inherited my laptop the girls, he had vista installed on it. I'm not a big fan so decided to install xp. I found a great guide on the forum, see below, (the topic is now locked) *.

  The original guide:

  + How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08 +.
  + PSAF5E + Toshiba Equium A200-1V0

  + Introduction
  + Here are the measures taken by us to remove our Toshiba laptop Vista and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we cannot have all the correct drivers installed, but everything seems to work OK for us. +
  + Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes more quickly and is more stable. +

  + This isn't a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a knowledge of passage of computers because it is very easy to screw things. The shop you bought your PC against them will load a lot to fix things and they will probably insist reinstall Vista! +
  + Be prepared that this would also probably negate your warranty. +

  + Luckily, I have a 2nd PC under XP, which allows me to access the web. This is very useful because it means that when your Vista machine is "broken" you can always find help and download the driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the XP installation updated the CD discussed later. +
  + You must have access to the web via a PC or another to get the necessary drivers. +

  + Method +.
  + First, even if you have Vista on your laptop, download and run a program of interrogation as "Belarc advisor" that lists all the drivers and software installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference. It will be useful later when searching on the web for all drivers that may require updating. +
  + Now, make sure that you noted on all the necessary settings for your Internet connection. +
  + Also, back up the files that you may have placed on the hard drive you will lose the lot, including emails and the address books and web bookmarks etc. +

  + Unfortunately, the Toshiba disk that comes with this laptop does not appear to have all the required drivers with it. Instead, I think it relies on Vista keeping copy on your hard drive. It's not very bright that when the disk fails, you have lost everything! +
  + This means to go on the web and the search of all the required drivers run the XP successfully. +
  + Some we have found, for example the wireless network adapter, however this was not a problem because once we had installed XP and connected to the Internet through an Ethernet cable to our router, we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each missing item. +
  + Go to "Device Manager" via "Control Panel" then "System" and then "hardware". Then look for any yellow question mark for all the problems. Right-click and run 'Update Driver' for the Hardware Update Wizard and allow the PC to search the web "this time only. +
  + The ones we made in this way were: wireless adapter, Audio adapter. +

  + Unfortunately an original CD of XP SP2 does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore, when you start the CD it will be, after a few minutes of installation of files, say you have a hardware problem, there is no hard drive. +
  + To remedy this, you will need to download the right drivers Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller. I could not find on the website of Intel, but on the contrary searched on Google for him. and he got to: http://www.alphadownloads.com/downloads/download-hp-intel-sata-ahci-controller-driver-ver--d-3064.html+

  + First, re-boot your laptop and the all start-up press F12 to change the boot order so that the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is first. You can also use F2 and then change the Boot order from there. +

  * After completing the installation, I found that I had no work wlan driver on my laptop. They are here (RTL8187B_WLAN_Adaptor), but with a big yellow question mark. I tried reinstalling them but it made no difference. I don't know why they don't will be will not installed properly.*

  * All went well and seem to work and all the familiar screens were there. I started using it and wanted to transfer some info from the laptop to my office. I copied the files on a disc using Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 and it seems to work, he went through the whole process without a hitch. When he had finished I checked the drive and it was empty he had no files on it at all. I tried several types/brands but the results (or lack of) is the same. The drive reads the discs will not drive write. Any ideas? *

  Thanks for reading this and I would appreciate any help/advice you may have.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  This means that everything is working properly without WLAN connection and burning the discs?

  Well, are you sure that your laptop is equipped with RTL8187B WLAN card? Therefore, you can check the vendor and device ID in Device Manager.
  But for all the portable Toshiba, you can download the driver WLAN here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  In addition, it would be interesting to know which drive you exactly used for the engraving process. I only use high-quality Verbatim and TDK media. I don t use Ashampoo or Nero, I use CD Burner XP because it the freeware tool and I can do anything I want with this program.

• 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

• 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.

• Equium A200-1V0 - cannot create the hibernation file

  Equium A200-1V0, Vista Home Premium (SP2)

  Hibernation has disappeared recently. I just did a cleaning disc. I have tried to go to the command prompt and enter powercfg / hibernate on, but I get a message saying that the system could not create the file of hibernation with a specific error code: 0xc0000022.

  Suggestions, please?

  Thank you.

  Hi Peterspragge,

  You have enabled hibernation in Vista power management?
  What happens if you press the FN + F4 key combination to enter hibernation mode?

  I never had a problem with the Hibernate in Windows mode and I think that his Microsoft more related question.
  Have you looked on the forums of Microsoft solution possible?

• Equium A200 - 1V0 with XP Professional software - looking driver for 3G

  We have recently installed XP on an Equium A200 - 1V0 but can't find the right driver to connect to 3 G internet.
  Any suggestions gratefully received!
  Zoe.

  Please can you tell us how you want to connect to the internet using 3G?
  It is unclear to me that your laptop is the 3G module inside. Can you confirm this please?

  I'm afraid you have misunderstood something and 3G can be used with an external display only.

• 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.

• 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.

• Equium A200-1V0 - Internet disconnects when I play a game

  I have an Equium A200-1V0, I'm guessin' I don't have to be precise with the form on this page to Toshiba, but its dual core 1.46 GHz, HDD 120 GB, 2 GB RAM and I can't seem to find the graphics of wht there (not very good for games).

  When I surfed net everythings good, usually, when I'm streaming shows and movies everythings good but when I play Runes of Magic of MMORPG after 20 minutes or until the internet disconnects. When you check wireless no possible networks appear, but the computer in the other room is still plugged on the wireless. If I turn off and turn on the connection, he begins to work for another 20 minutes (in game time), or fine for web browsing etc. I don't know what the problem is, but I was wonderinf what a graphics card fault or the network card expires? Is the game download too much data?

  How can I solve this problem, I've been looking at a portable game because I don't feel it's a fault of modem wireless but rather something wrong with the laptop.

  Help, please!

  Hi Huel,

  I can t say much about it because I've never heard of this game and I think that you should contact the manufacture of the game. Maybe it s a known issue and it s caused by the game.
  Check this box!

  Just the idea that I have right now is updated the WLAN driver. You can download the latest version here:
