Re: Satellite A200 - 1 M 4 - where the HDD partition D?

Hello
I have Toshiba A200 - 1 M 4.
When I open my computer, I see some hard drives C and E.
Where is the hard drive?

How can I make hard drives (C, D and E)?

Thank you

I assume that you have installed Vista on this laptop?
Am I wrong?

Vista uses two partitions on the HARD disk. C is necessary for the common Vista operating system and the hidden D partition is necessary for files and Vista restore options.

Like I said what it s hidden and should not be used!

  • Satellite A200-130: done remove from the hidden partition void warranty

    Hello

    remove the hidden recovery partition will void the warranty on the Satellite A200-130?

    No, certainly not!

    You can delete what you want ;) you can also install a different operating system.

    You would lose the guarantee only if you open and disassemble the laptop or attempt to upgrade not upgradable components such as CPU for example.

    Just for the note; You can set the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    This would create a new hidden too restore partition.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE6E: Impossible to install the audio drivers after installing Win XP realtek

    Hello...

    Recently, I repartitioned my laptop HD to install XP and kubuntu (it came with vista)... However, I was not able to install audio drivers for its audio devices...

    The laptop is a toshiba Satellite A200-PSAE6E and everest indicates the following audio controllers:

    ATI hd 2xxx hdmi @ ati radeon hd 2600 - controller high definition audio
    Realtek alc268 @ intel 82801hbm ich8m - audio controller high definition

    First I tried to download the audio drivers high definition realtek web site (32-bit version of windows xp). I tried to run the installation, manually navigating to WDM file during the installation of the pilot and navigation manually the folders where the drivers have been copied during the installation under c:\windows\system32\... all to nothing done...

    Then I tried to download drivers toshiba official of the support web site of europe from toshiba for the realtek chip... I've lived the same behavior (both when you run the Setup program and install manually force pilots)

    Then I tried to download the drivers for ATI HDMI audio device from realtek website... with the same results...

    Windows tells me that it was impossible to find a driver in the any of the archives...

    The only thing that could be the culprit because as far as I can tell, is that I installed service pack 3 RC2...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Tasos

    P.S. I've tried the two automatic installation through specification of a folder and choose the options "I will manually choose a driver from the list" in the hardware installation wizard... the result is always the same... Note that the audio works perfectly under ubuntu...

    P.S.2 IMPORTANT! I recently discovered that toshiba offers bios versions for the A200 PSAE6E depending on if it is equipped with windows xp or vista...

    This refers to which the operating system has been installed when the system was purchased, or the operating system that is currently used? Can I upgrade the Bios of my laptop with the XP version or this break from things?

    Hello

    Regarding the sound issue.
    A lot of people already asked for it here on the forum and my knowledge the driver sound doesn't work because that some Member States the fixes and patches are missing.

    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?MessageID=113124

    You will need to install KB888111 and KB835221 hotfix

    With regard to the BIOS;
    Yes, some series of laptops needs a version of XP BIOS if you want to install and use the XP on the laptop. AFAIK the A200 is one of these series of laptops.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200-1CR does not recognize the module of RAM 2 GB

    Hello

    I have a problem with the extension of the RAM.
    I have the Satellite A200-1CR with 2 x 512 MB of RAM.

    Now, I bought 1 x 2 GB RAM (DDR2 PC2-5300 (667 MHz); PA3513S-1M2G) but the BIOS and Windows recognizes only 1 GB.
    When I add 1x512mo to the second slot, the system recognizes 1.5 GB of RAM.
    Where is the problem?

    What should I do to make it see 2 GB?

    Paula

    Hello

    I think the answer is very simple.
    Satellite A200-1CR can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM.
    This means that you can use max 1 GB of RAM in one slot
    You used 2 GB of RAM and this module does not seem to be compatible
    In my opinion if you want to use 2 GB of RAM then you can buy 2 x 1 GB RAM modules

  • Satellite A200-1ax: could not get the BT working on Win XP

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop satellite a200-1ax. I installed Windows XP sp2.
    My problem is that I can't get the bluetooth work. I have installed a Toshiba bluetooth driver and nothing. When I try to install the bluetooth stack Toshiba the instalation stops at the driver part and won't. I tried, and left for more than 2 hours and it was not moving.

    When I opened my device manager there is no place where a bluetooth connection is mentioned. In the bluetooth of the 5 information system services where collapsed and to manual start. I tried to start manually services.msc, but there was no available bluetooth service.

    You have to add that I have 3 elements in with question marks Device Manager:
    1. mass storage controller
    2. feature modem on high definition audio bus
    3 PCI memory controller.

    If anyone can help with the problem of bluetooth, or three missing drivers, please do :)

    Hello

    The Bluetooth should work!
    The laptop supports the BT module, and I think that you have not properly installed.

    Firstly don mix t the monitor BT with BT stack. You need the BT stack!
    I think that you should remove the software BT OS and after that new reboot should try to reinstall again.

    Then you must enable BT using the Fn + F8 key to complete the configuration of BT!

    Other devices such as PCI memory controller and mass storage controller. Are not supported by Windows XP and therefore there is no drivers!

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - question of upgrading the Bios

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAF6A and I am trying to upgrade the Bios as the current has a virus or something in it and I want to know how to do this with a floppy disk based BACK or how to make a boot disk for bios.

    Any help would be so appreciated thanks.

    > I'm trying to upgrade the Bios because the current has a virus or something in it
    Virus in the BIOS?
    Sorry mate but I put t believe that! Why do you think the ROM module where the BIOS is stored could be affected by the virus?

    In addition, the traditional BIOS (BACK as you say) is not available for download!
    You can find a BIOS based on the victory and these BIOS can be updated from windows system!

  • Satellite A200-08J: how to configure the command buttons

    I read many posts but nothing seems to make sense.

    Why Toshiba would put these buttons here if they are so difficult to configure? or not able to be configured?

    FYI same Windows Media Player does not meet any of them.

    I use Vista Business 32...

    I would like to configure all the 6 buttons next to the button On / Off (internet, media, play/pause, stop, previous/next.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    To my knowledge, not all keys are configurable. The buttons like pause, play, stop, etc. cannot be configured with different functions.
    It is not possible.

    But you can use the key Toshiba control utility to configure the buttons such as Internet and CD/DVD.
    You can find this tool in Toshiba Assist-> optimize

    There you can assign new applications to these buttons.

    By the way; Satellite A200-08J seems to be a model Canadian that is why it would be desirable and recommended to use the drivers & tools from the Canadian driver page.

    Can someone tell me the release notes for the new Satellite A200 PSAE6E BIOS 2.40?
    In fact, the Toshiba never release notes on their BIOS updates.

    Unfortunately, I didn't find all the details on the changes to the BIOS on Toshiba European pages.
    I found a log file BIOS on the site Web of Toshiba us but Satellite A200-PSAE6E is a European model and I doubt that the news of the Toshiba page relates us to the A200 models.

    Hello

    As far as I know on the Satellite A200 BIOS should be updated to the version of the BIOS Win XP if Win XP has been installed on the machine.

    Update you the BIOS to the version of Win XP? If this is not the case, this->.

    I searched a bit on the pages of knowledge of MS for some details about this error and found this page:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; q222973 &

    Microsoft means that this error could be related to the failure of hardware.

    This could be fair and I think that in this case, you must contact the ASP in your country to verify the keyboard and the touchpad.
    Maybe the parts should be replaced.
