Re-construction of Satellite Pro A200 with Windows XP - how to

Hello

I am looking for help regarding some A200 that I just got.
They came with Vista Home premium, but I try to rebuild their windows XP disks use.
Once the start-up of the machines from the disk and asking to install windows XP, I get the following message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer.

Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected
to your computer and that any hardware configuration of the discs is
fix. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer running
or Setup.

Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to go into the BIOS to find the setting which you start using HDD settings simple alloys but this option does not seem to exist, is any body can help because it is a matter of urgency.

Kind regards

Hello

It seems that you need the SATA driver!

On the Toshiba page, you should find the Intel Storage Manager. It is a SATA driver and it should be included during the XP installation process by pressing the F6 key.

Then, you could include it from the external disk to floppy drive

If you don t have a FDD drive so that you can use free software called nLite

By the way; Why you do not use the search option in this forum to search for similar topics...

  • The volume control on the Satellite Pro A200 with Ubuntu 7.10

    I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9, I did recently to dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu 7.10. It's the first time I used Linux and most things are going well so far.

    However, the volume control (a wheel at the front of the laptop) does not control the volume correctly with Ubuntu, rather than increase the volume smoothly as with Vista, it increases in a 1/8 of maximum volume jumps, the on-screen volume control is always smooth. I think that it is at least partly due to the change of a material volume wheel, as with the latest Toshiba, I have used, for a version of software based. It controls the system volume and runs continuously, without stop at maximum or minimum volumes.

    Does anyone know how to change this change in volume for a smooth jump?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    given that no one here has no idea, nor pilots, nor any information about the driver from toshiba support, nobody will be able to give you some useful information.

    Have you ever google and checked the ubuntu forums? According to me, which will bring you closer the source here instead.
    So just to start to ask in the ubuntu forums because I think that someone is there who maybe has the same problem as you.

    I hope that artistry a kind of programmer. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200 and Windows XP 64-bit possible?

    I am the owner of this laptop & I wonder if it is compatible with Windows XP 64-bit.

    I work with 3dsmax which does not work on Vista (32 or 64 bit).
    Y at - it problems with the drivers & where I can find drivers for 64-bit Windows XP?
    See you soon

    Toshiba does not 64-bit drivers for Windows XP.

    So you must search on external Web sites for the drivers but I could only you n t get all the drivers. To be honest if you don t use 4 GB of RAM or more in this laptop Windows XP are the best choice.

    Here are some examples where you can search for drivers:

    [www.realtek.com]

  • Satellite Pro A200 - need Windows 7 driver for flash card reader

    I changed from Vista to Windows 7 on my Satellite A200-20N, and now I can't use the card flash inside Reader. I already looked for drivers, but I only find one for vista, also tried to install it, but failed.

    How I use my card under Windows 7 flash reader?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I think you can use the Vista driver and normally they also work on Windows 7.
    Perhaps you can explain what it means not managed exactly

    In addition, you can try a new driver of another model of laptop card reader, e. g. Satellite A300.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - system does not boot

    Hello

    wondering if someone could help?
    My Satellite Pro A200 with windows XP does not start. It starts with the Toshiba screen.
    Then goes to a screen black with text where it says "PXEE61 media test failure - check cable" (I have no cable) then said out of PXErom; moves to the next screen, which lists the options: safe mode; safe mode with networking; safe mode with prompt local; Last Configeration well-known; Start windows normally.

    Which have been tried and results in loading from page turns on for about 20 seconds, then just to abandon and trying all the whole process again (before flashing a blue screen) Windows.

    Nothing seems to work - tried to take the battery on a... number oftimes and the power cable, but nothing helps.
    It's already happened, but after a few false starts gets going - but this time he just don't come out it. I could not take others where locally, but I would prefer not to because I live in Spain and need the laptop as soon as possible and do not know, I want to leave it in some otherwise are hands to the risk of wipe them the hard drive.

    So, I would be very grateful for any help as soon as possible and I fear tech short hand maybe having to explain.

    Thanks a lot, a lot.

    Hello

    I think the problem is that the operating system is not found on the HARD drive.

    The test failure PXEE61 media - check the cable appears especially if the laptop tries to boot from LAN.

    Why the laptop is trying to boot from the local network?

    Well,.

    -option may be the LAN was chosen first in the boot order in the BIOS
    -Maybe the drive is defective and so the laptop is trying to boot from LAN
    -the MBR (master boot record) is may be defective

    I think you should take the Toshiba Recovery CD and need to format the HARD drive and needs to be reinstalled the operating system.
    This should help.

    If not, then the HARD drive could malfunction and should be replaced!

  • Satellite Pro A200 - graphic the glitch/corruption on desktop Vista (UPS windows sidebar)

    Hello

    From time to time (difficult to predict), I get graphics glitches in Vista desktop, green spaces with clear rectangles in their.

    See example here: [http://i36.tinypic.com/2vsjkvr.jpg].

    This occurs in the sidebar or the upper windows.

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 with ATI HD2600 256 k - certainly powerful enough for Vista graphics - and the operating system is the image of Toshiba more Microsoft updates and all the updates from Toshiba for my model.

    Someone else has something like this and find a solution?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Looks more like a graphics card problem
    You said it happens is that this means that if you start the laptop everything displays correctly and after awhile of use of this problem appears?

    Perhaps a higher internal temperature affects the graphics chip and this is why this display problem appears.

    Just a question; Have you tried to update the graphics driver?
    You should do this certainly

    But if the question will always be, the chances are high that a hardware malfunction causing this display problem.

  • Operating system to load BIOS for Satellite Pro A200

    Hello

    I have a PSAE4E - 03300WEN Satellite Pro A200 with V5.30 BIOS and Windows 7 SP1 32 bit.
    I improved the T2330 CPU to T8100 and thought to update the BIOS for increased functionality.
    But in the Toshiba download page, I get the following 3 options:

    2.60 - WIN32 this Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! (32-bit only!)
    2.60 - WIN64 this Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! (64-bit only!)
    5, 60 - WIN this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!

    And the question is...
    What about Windows 7? I should stick to V5.30 or go to a newer version? :-/

    See you soon!

    > I improved the T2330 CPU to T8100 and thought to update the BIOS for increased functionality.

    First of all laptop manufacturers (any manufacturer it is) don t support CPU updates.
    Of course, you can replace the CPU but it's your own risk.

    But what I mean is that updates of BIOS don't provide additional functionality or improves which would increase the functionality after upgrade CPU and this means that the BIOS update is not necessary to obtain better performance even after upgrade CPU.

    However, certain phrases on your BIOS question:
    5.60 BIOS seems to be released for portable computers running Win XP:

    Other versions of BIOS (v2.60 32-bit and 64-bit) are released for Vista systems I guess that this version should be compatible with Win 7 since its more similar to Vista to Win XP

    However, you changed the processor and consequently the hardware configuration is different now, I can't say for sure if the BIOS update would be the best option in this case

  • [Satellite Pro A200] - slow when problems of transfer and the warmth of the data.

    Hi people.

    I have a 1.5 years old Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with 200 GB HARD drive standard. For some time, his behavior is just... weird.

    Sometimes the system slows down. She behaves just slow, it freezes frequently for a second when simple tasks such as entering the text. It; s busiest during intensive data transfers (e.g. copy files via FTP from my copy of the USB or LAN), but sometimes it happens even when no application other than Firefox does. It is not apparent, so I wonder - service it will take in terms of warranty (which means - is there a probability that you will say that everything is perfect and charge me for it?)
    The computer was once on the repair under warranty, they replaced the HARD drive with another. Is it possible that the other has problems as well (check S.M.A.R.T. discovers nothing). Or is it maybe faulty SATA controller?

    Another thing is the temperature. During the normal work (Internet, MS Word) two hearts runs at 60 * C. When the set temperature may exceed 90 * C and the computer sometimes shuts down. I guess the problem is dust accumulated inside the laptop but I do not see how can I clean.

    Go to the service of this kind of problems?

    Virus scanners can slow a system down considerably, what antivirus do you use?

    If you have a lot of programs installed, perhaps its time to back up your data and reinstall Windows. I do it myself every year since Windows tends to become bloated and slow after a while.

    With respect to the dust, you can Sauté using a can of compressed Air sprayed through the main entrance of air (when the system is off).
    Or if dust is really bad, you will need to send it to a Service provider authorized to do so and cleaned disassembled.

  • No sound in Satellite Pro P200 with XP

    Hi all.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200 with Windows Vista preinstalled. I removed Vista and installed Windows XP with Service Pack 2, due to the incompabilités with some software I need. Almost all of the necessary drivers for XP (even a downgrade to BIOS) was downloaded and installed from Support from Toshiba web page. But there are still two devices that I can not install. At the start of my laptop it always detect "* Microsoft UAA bus driver for high definition audio *" and "* controller memory PCI - Chip for logical Cache Flash in Intel (r) *" as new hardware and they appear marked in yellow in the Device Manager list.

    I installed the last bus Microsoft UAA for high definition audio driver for XP from Toshiba and Realtek too... a lot of time and in different ways... Previously I installed the High Definition Audio Driver Package - KB888111 from Microsoft. But I still have no sound.

    PCI memory controller - Intel(r) Flash Cache Logic Chip: the same... tried the drivers the most recent Toshiba one Intel too. Toshiba technical support told me that this unit is ready to run on Vista and have suggested me to try with Robson drivers for Vista Support from Toshiba's web page, but that didn't work either.

    I googled a lot, searched this forum and called technical support, as I said, but I've not found a way to solve these problems. Really, I can't believe I bought a laptop that only works with Windows Vista, I resist assume this idea, so I continue to try and try to make it work properly with the operating system that I need and I have chosen freely.

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    You're on right way boyfriend, you must also install another patch MS; KB835221
    So finally the KB888111 and KB835221 must be installed before you will follow with the audio driver installation.

    The problem is that this unit only works in Vista.
    The controller memory PCI is that intel Turbo Memory, also called Intel Flash cache logic chip also called device Robson.
    It's quite new technology designed to support the new features of Vista.
    There is not driver for it for Windows XP because XP doesn t supports the function of cache, it is supported by Vista.
