Portege R200 recovery CD recovery problem

I tried to recover with different portege R200 from the recovery disks. The two models are identical, and both models have the same problem. I boot with the recovery disk 1, I get the choice of 1, 2 and 3.

I choose number 1 to retrieve the machine (a recommended) hard disk, and then restarts gives me another set of choices. As soon as I make a choice and confirm it, I get an error message saying that my cd/dvd drive is not connected. The CD/DVD drive is a USB which I've tried two different brands with the same result. All I can think is that I have to do something wrong.

If someone knows what that please let me know.

Hello

I studied a bit in this forum and found this interesting thread:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=32612罤

There is a list of the compatible and tested external CD/DVD drives.

one) Toshiba, PA3352E-SCD2, CD-RW/DVD-Rom USB 2.0 drive
(b) Toshiba PA3402E-1DV2, Rev.501, USB 2.0 DVD Super Multi drive, SN: 5362870112
(c) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST, (Freecom drive), SN: 3431490096
with a PC Card (16 bit) card, cable II, PCMCIA, Rev.043.242, SN: 18496 043 3999 0343 01093
(d) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST, (Freecom drive), SN: 3431490096
with a CardBus cable II, MAP of BUS, Rev.136, SN: 16693 136 3999 0149 06122

Is that not all external drives are compatible and updated day and in my opinion, this could be the reason why your laptop starts properly since the external hard drive.

  • Portege R200 - video corruption in XP SP2

    Hello

    I have a 'master' XP SP2 build that I adapt to the Toshiba Portege R200 laptop. It's the first Tosh, I have worked with (normally HP). I installed all the Tosh and tools software and downloaded/installed the latest drivers on the tosh site.

    Intermittently, I get the video corruption on the desktop in XP. Some parts of the screen or the menus and buttons display black and white trash.

    Has anyone other saw this and have any ideas how to fix? Is there an older video driver, that I can try?

  • PCMCIA question on portege R200

    PPR20A Portege R200 - recently went to Toshiba service for problem with network LAN card, came back LAN network card works fine now (lost packets previously). Running XP Professional SP2.

    Now have a problem with installing an Aircard card in the PCMCIA slot - before taken in charge worked well, but since then have not been able to install properly. Have consulted widely with the seller, the drivers updated and the device firmware (camera works very well in other laptops). Restored the operating system and recovery applications.

    The Manager of active devices and shows that the pcmcia adapter is generic type (for example, Microsoft). Uninstalled the generic driver, downloaded and installed the drivers from toshiba but install is not to recognize the new drivers and Hardware Wizard adds a driver credits back.

    What Miss me?

    Have updated the BIOS to V1.6, verified status all drivers and all are up-to-date.

    It does not compute...

    Someone has an idea?

    Post edited by: scott.giles

    Hey Buddy,

    If you have already done everything to make this thing work, then you should contact the service center where you sent your machine before and tell them that your pcmcia/cardbus is working properly.
    But before that, try this:
    Download linux live-cd like knoppix, boot your computer with the cd and check if the same problem under linux. I mean if the card is not properly recognized. Usually, the card must be recognized and you should be able to use your wireless card (I guess Aircard means wireless card)

    If the card works then backup all your data on your hard drive and recover you your machine. After recovery, everything should work again.

  • Toshiba control buttons don't work no-Portege R200

    Hello

    Hi I formatted my Toshiba Portege R200 reinstalled Windows and drivers without the recovery disk.

    The problem is that after you have everything installed, I work the shortcut keys (Toshiba controls enabled in the control panel to assign function keys). I'm afraid I don't have Lagun driver or program (Toshiba control) to fix.

    I would be grateful for help me solve the problem.

    Thank you and I look forward to news.

    Hello

    I found the drivers for Win XP on the European driver Toshiba page.
    But R200 is an elder and I had to select Archive type of product.

    Then I found the common Module and the control of Toshiba.
    These applications are required to get the buttons works.

  • Portege R200 - PXE - E61: media test failure - insert system disk

    My Portege R200 PPR21E-00K00QEN computer means the usual stuff of toshiba: IE

    PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - MOF outgoing PXE ROM

    Insert system disk in drive

    Now my model isn't a hard drive and I bought second hand, so I have no recovery disks.
    I checked the HARD drive and its seems connected properly.

    Would I need to buy an external drive and try a system disk or is there anything else I could try.

    Any suggestions or advice?

    PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable message appears because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
    Why?
    Because it could not start the HARD drive, or another source like CD/DVD drive.
    Usually this happens because of faulty HARD drive.

    So how to fix?

    I think first of all you will need to replace the HARD drive.

    Since the Portégé R200 doesn't support CD/DVD drive, you must install the system using bootable flash USB stick memory or you would need to buy an external CD-ROM USB drive that would be compatible with protégé R200

  • Start - option from menu on Portege R200

    The Toshiba Portege R200 has a boot menu option? I tried F12 and C and nothing happens. The only way I've found is to change the boot priority in the BIOS.

    Thank you, Rob.

    Hello Rob

    If you use CD or bootable DVD (supplied recovery media), you can use the C button and on this path, you must be available to boot from the CD/DVD (Toshiba drives).

    I have no experience with this model of Portege, but if you can see small symbols at the beginning upward under close to the HOME screen left or right-arrow and you will be able to choose which drive you want to start.

  • Portege R200 - re - install Windows XP

    We just took delivery of a Toshiba Portege R200 as an assessment
    Especially the small size Toshiba laptops. We bought from another manufacturer
    laptops in the past, but these come (strangely) with PCMCIA slots so that we cannot use
    Vodafone 3 G/GPRS cards.

    Anyway, this isn't the point. As seems to be the case with modern
    manufacturers, the laptop is loaded to the top with all kinds of garbage (sorry useful)
    utilities) which we certainly do not want! So we want to re - install plain
    Windows XP Pro vanilla and from there - we have our own build
    Configuration.

    Apart from the laptop doesn't come only not with a CD/DVD drive.
    It came only with a "recovery CD". What is this recovery
    Contain CDs? What is a Windows XP Pro installation CD or an image of the laptop with
    all the useful stuff already installed. So late, how should we do
    get a CD-ROM of relocation? I guess it's an OEM Windows XP Pro
    license there.

    Thank you, Rob.

    [Edited by: admin on 1st June 06 21:31]

    Hi Rob

    Recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba designed tools and utilities (;)) very useful utilities and some applications such as WinDVD or even antivir program.) If you use recovery media that you will have factory settings as after the first start.

    In my opinion, you should preinstall unit with media recovery because on this path, all hardware components will be perfect set up. After that, you can remove all the stuff that you n t want.

    Otherwise, you can install your own operating system by using the Microsoft full version CD, and then install all the drivers only. You have them on CD tools & utilities, or you can download them from the download page of Toshiba. All that s!

    If you have any other questions, please write again.

    Good bye

  • Question about the feature keys FN on Portege R200

    Hello! My laptop is a Portege R200

    I cleaned up my HARD drive and installing WXP Pro

    I downloaded all the drivers for the Toshiba site R200

    Now the problem is that there are two kinds a change of the device driver display

    I installed the first called TDspBtn and now I am able to get the LCD, LCD + CRT or CRT by pressing Fn + F5. I do not like this feature because theres no icon displayed as brightness oder speaker power.

    The other is TFnF5. If I click on it, nothing happens and the function FN + F5 is still the TDspBtn.

    ------------------------

    My next prob is the FN + F8 combination. I installed the driver from wirlesshotkey and nothing happens if I press FN + F8
    Normally using this utility you can switch of Bluetooth for wireless connection by pressing Fn + F8. If Bluetooth is not available, it will turn on and outside wireless lan.

    Please help me!

    Greetings from the Germany

    Hello

    It is not easy to give you the right answer because this FN feature does not depend on a tool only. The fact is that several separate components must be installed correctly.
    On the Toshiba download page, I saw that there are two different models of the Portege R200. I don't know which you have, but for each of them you will find the document Instructions facilities with the exact order of installations.

    So what you need to do is to install all the drivers, tools and utilities following this order of installations.
    If all the components must be installed correctly. After doing this, all these processes are running in the background and you can use all the functions FN.

    The same situation is for the FN + F8.

  • Portege R200 - works with or without extended desktop

    Jin
    the last 2 years I have worked with a provincial court 2010 portege now just bought a portege r200.

    I already had a problem with dual-view:

    at the office, I work with office extended Windows on a second monitor.
    at home, I had only the display porteges. but windows does not know ;)
    ... until I have adjust with windows control panel. When I work in the Office
    Yet once connect the second monitor and windows recognizes it. But a duty adjust
    again extended desktop settings (relative position and screen resolution).

    has tried to find a tool to work with two reg files. Nothing helps. now a hope
    the promotion of r200 could fix my problem. the graphics accelerator intel seems
    for can do what I want. but I haven't found a solution for my problem.

    someone at - it an idea?

    Best regards
    Martin

    Hello

    The same situation here. I have Tecra M1 and I turn it on manually every time because the portable store the last known configuration. On the new laptops it is much simpler because there is new option when you use the FN + F5 key combination and you can quickly switch between the different views.

    Please start Toshiba Mobile Extension tool and display services tab change and test it with internal/external image display different profile. I tested it with my laptop and it works perfectly.

    Good luck!

    Kind regards

  • Portege R200: Sound does not work on the modem

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get sound of my modem?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Portege R200 with Win XP Version 2002 SP2 with a Toshiba Software modem on COM3. When I dial a number with the modem there is no sound, even if the modem work and connect to my server.

    · The sound works for other applications and Windows itself, so I know the speakers work.
    · I moved my hard drive on another laptop and had the same problem, so I know that it's a software issue and not a hardware problem.
    · In Control Panel sounds and peripheral Audio, the volume is set to high and the Volume, phone, Mono control Out and other volume settings are all rich.
    · In the modems Control Panel Options and the modem speaker volume is set to high
    · In the properties of the Modem, it indicates that the device is working properly
    · Through HyperTerminal, I sent the AT & F, ATM2 and ATL3 commands to be sure, has everything been settled properly (and the answer to all was OK)

    Someone at - it see this problem with the modem doesn't do not all sound? Suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Mike

    Hello

    I put t know which sound modem tell you exactly but is it so important to you?
    If the modem works correctly and you can connect to the internet, why you want to have the sound of the modem? Maybe you hear the strange sound of modem that is displayed when the modem tries to build an internet connection.

    You can try to change the numbering in help. Maybe it s in legumes and want to have the tone.
    To do this, you will need to enter in the Control Panel, and then select the modem.
    Please indicate the location on the dialing rules tab, and select Edit.

    You can then change the dial using the general tab.

    It will be useful.

  • Portege R200 Win2k drivers?

    Our company OS is Win2k SP4 so this installed on Portege R200 PPR21E but has 2 unknown devices, showing in DM in Intel 82801FBM LPC I / f suite and system compatible ACPI Microsoft and also 'Ethernet controller' even if the Yukon LAN device is installed and running so I guess it must be the Wlan a, although Ive tried what it points to all the drivers wlan for this model to no joy. Ive tried all the drivers from the Tosh site but some installation for XP usually not w2k. Ive tried the Intel Chipset utility to no joy. Anyone got any ideas? It is possible that this model is not compatible W2K?

    Hello

    The Portégé R200 is designed for Windows XP, so it is fair to assume that some problems may occur when you run W2K. However, if you are looking for drivers for version PPR20 of the R200 downloads Web site, you will find the drivers and utilities for W2K. It might be interesting to try some of these forums that you have problems with the devices.

    Also, did you follow the order of installation of drivers properly? Some weird issues can occur if this is not the case. Yet once, order for W2K is listed when you are looking for the version of PPR20 (classified "Instructions of Installation").

    What should I do? I checked the connection and the drive is connected to the fine. I heard no noise when starting.
    Is this HARD drive problem? or maybe motherboard? Help!

    The HARD disk rotates upward?

    Try resetting the BIOS to default settings.

    Other than that, I think that it's not just you can do except send the laptop to a repair center.
