Reformat Vista to XP on Satellite A200-ST2043

My brother just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200-ST2043. It came with Vista on it, and I had just planned to reformat with Windows XP Pro. I tried for a few days now and have not been able to make it work. I think it's mainly because of these Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers, that I'm not able to install correctly, or not able to get the right drivers for Windows XP.



That's what I've lived so far:



I downloaded the 32-bit Intel Matrix Storage Manager to the site Disk Configuration utility http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=210 1 & OSFullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go % 21

I ran that he asks for a floppy disk, so I glued one to and she made the files on this disk, when it did work the first time I tried several times with different players to make sure that wasn't the problem.

I used the floppy when it asks me to press F6 to install third-party drivers as I have many times before. (I used SATA drives many times in the past on a few laptops and desktop computers that apparently does not use Intel Matrix Manager Sotrage.) "So I don't know how to proceed with the installation of Windows).

Thus, when the installer asks me to press on the of ' to specify a driver I do and select the one that suits. Then I see then the 2 partitions on the HARD disk. 1.5 GB and 73 ~ GB. I assumed that the 1.5 gigabytes is for purposes of recovery. So I deleted the partition of 70 GB and most later discovered this isn't what I need to do in this case. So, which way lead to a dead end.



So since I wiped the HARD drive I used the recovery cd that came with his computer to retrieve and install Vista all return to the out-of-the-box and all factory settings.



Then I downloaded the "RAID/AHCI Software - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager (5604KB)" of the link earlier.

I read this thread that mentions two different utilities for different chipsets. http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040 I discovered that I had 965 m, so I got the version 7.6.0.1011 as he say to get.

I installed through vista and then took the drivers out of the folder as it installed because this thread mentioned someone do that.

'Hi,



As I was this:



1. in the preloaded vista OS, I went in the TOSAPINS folder, then in the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager-V7.0.0.1020\Inf setup' folder, copied the entire contents of the folder to the root of a floppy

2. attach a floppy drive usb on my m9 with the above mentioned disc and start the laptop on a xp cd while pressing f6 when you are prompted to load the scsi/raid additionl drivers

3. after the initial Setup, the usual message «you have chosen to configure a SCSI card...» "appeared, so I pressed"s"to specify an additional device

4. the only device that is displayed is the right one for the m9 sata controller - there should be the following: Intel(r) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E/M)

5. Once selected, the xp installation continued and couldn't find the hard drive no problem at all.



Hope this helps,



Dave ".



I could not find a file TOSAPINS, but I found the Intel drivers in my program files. Those I've used and still does not work.



So I restart the installation process and make F6, then S, select the driver blah blah blah, then simply select the partition of 70 concert without wiping, a Vista is currently after recovery. I tried to install XP on Vista installation, in the C:\WINDOWS without deleting Vista because I thought that Vista was here Intel Matrix thing would still be there. That did not work and ended up having me to redo recovery.

After recovering, I restarts the installation process and make F6, then S, select the driver blah blah blah, then simply select the partition of 70 concert without wiping, a Vista is currently on after the restoration. I tried to install XP in a C:\WXP folder without deleting Vista because I thought that because Vista was doing there thing Intel Matrix would be still there. That did not work...



So in this thread, once again:

http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

I saw that in the end, he mentions nlite, I had no idea of what it was. I discovered and tried to install the drivers in nlite and burned the iso and that no longer works.



So in conclusion I did nothing to work right and found this thread where adam0007 talks about his work at last:

http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=91564𖖬

I couldn't understand how the people on these message forums so I did not contact him.

If that didn't make any sense please ask me reitterate parties you've been confused on. My browser froze a couple of times and I lost the messages I was written and had to restart, then I found myself typing this in wordpad.

Hi guys

Use the software called nLite. It is a freeware program.
With this tool, you can create your own Windows XP CD and could include all service packs, drivers, and Storage Manager Intel, etc. for this new CD of XP!

Can boot from this CD and enjoy!

PS: anyone recommend first to search this forum for similar discussions because this topic has been discussed a lot of time here.

  • Downgrade from Windows Vista to XP on Satellite A200-22I

    Hello

    Maybe this topic has arised more than once, but someone can help me?
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 [22I with windows Vista, but I want to downgrade to XP.]

    How can I do?

    Thank you very much

    It's easy,

    You'll need a genuine Windows XP CD, drivers and little time.

    Next, you need to 'wake' drivers Windows XP AHCI the CD because otherwise the HARD drive would not be recognized during the installation of windows XP. Here´s a link to a very good education how to integrate these specific drivers for a Windows XP CD: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

    I know it sounds complicated, but trust me, you´re doing so once and you know after all. ;)

    I would also like to download the XP drivers for your machine at the following site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Your model is a PSAE6E which means you need to find the drivers for a Satellite A200 (PSAE6) and download. Burn it to a CD to have available every time when you need it...

    When you install the drivers please take care of the installation order how do I install the drivers; I can't tell you the entire order, but the most important drivers must be installed in the following order:

    -BIOS for XP (V5.60)<- i="" would="" do="" this="" before="" installing="">

    Then after the installation of Windows XP:
    -chipset
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -sound
    -lan driver
    -wlan driver

    and then the other stuff that is for this model

    That's all, if you have questions, just ask.

  • Question about changing from Vista to XP on Satellite A200

    Hello

    5 months ago, I bought a laptop Satellite A200 - 1 M 5, but I face some strange and annoying inconsistencies such as blue screen after startup, inconsistencies with several programs or devices, unique discoveries registry keys, problem with microsoft register server, Mp telemetry and other inexplicable things that make you angry. In addition, Vista are so heavy for 'only' 1024 MB of memory.

    For all the foregoing, I thought strongly to change my operating system from Vista to XP clearer and more coherent. However, I have no idea if the machine will cooperate very well with XP. Nothing will work properly? Incompatibility? Someone told me that, perhaps, the case of Toshiba flash cards will not work. But, if so, how can I manipulate for example brightness? Combination of FN will work?

    Thanks in advance for the help

    I think that your machine should work well with Windows XP Home edition. Many people use Windows XP Home edition on the mobile phones of Satellite or Equium A200 new and different. Before you start to do the BIOS update to the version of Windows XP designed home. It must be 5. XX. Check it out!

    For the installation of WXP use CD Windows XP SP2 home edition installations. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

    BTW: before you start checking some threads here about installation of WXP A200 laptop. You can find a lot of useful things.

    Bye and good luck!

    Hey Buddy,

    I found a post in another forum and they say it s not that big a deal as it seems. Just do the following:

    go to "http://downloadcenter.intel.com/" and download the latest driver for your graphics card (download the drivers for 945GM) and then the error message shouldn´t appears more.

    Another suggestion is to upgrade your BIOS to the latest version available. You can get the BIOS from here:

  • Recovery of Windows Vista problem for my Satellite A200 - 10 X

    My computer was working OK. To speed it up, I decided to reformat the hard disk using the recovery DVD provided by Toshiba. Recovery failed. I tried several ways but keep having the same problem, i.e. the process is going in a loop.

    What happens can be summarized as follows: when I turn on the computer using the DVD in the drive for recovery disk, the computer by loading windows files and then formats the hard drive, but stop about 18 percent through the State. Every time that happens the problem starts (X:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe) at ImageX Tools for Windows; and mentions that Files\Toshiba\HD2Go\sea160s_HD.wmv c: Program... WimCopyF ileEx failed. Other errors are: error restore image. The drive is not ready; and ERROR: ImageX would not apply VISTA E:\05006XSP.swm 2 of ODD Index to C:\. ; Press a key... And the screen turns white. There is another window of the screen when i to this happens, who says the administrator: X:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe open in the BACK. After closing this window of the screen empties and the computer for everything in then opens in a Windows boot manager called window and said that windows could not start, winload could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

    If I try to boot from HARD drive recovery, there is no success. I tried turning on the computer while pressing C, or pressing 0 (zero) or F8, but without success. I can't go to the page where I can repair the HARD drive as described in the user manual.

    I even tried to load an older version of XP, which has loaded but would not recognize the USBs, or sounds or a DVD player, etc.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Very strange! Are you using the Toshiba Recovery DVD for the first time now?

    Hello

    Have you installed the right BIOS for the OS right?
    You must know that Vista uses a different BIOS as the Windows XP!

    In any case, have you tried to reinstall the Toshiba Flash Card Utility?
    Please do.

    First, you must reinstall the Toshiba common Modules, then the Flash card utility. The two programs are in the Toshiba value added package.

  • Stop Vista automatically on the Satellite A200-14F (PSAECE)

    System stops - but re - start automatically. Have updated the BIOS, but still no luck. Have tried all the settings on Vista power options.

    For me, it looks a bit like a problem of overheating or a problem of Vista system.

    Let's talk about overheating;

    Usually the laptop stops automatically if the temperature reaches a critical threshold. Then the notebooks overheat protection stops the laptop to prevent material damage.
    Especially, the temperature rises to a higher level because notebooks modules of cooling don't work properly.
    You can try to clean the fans with a professional pneumatic sprayer.
    It s a really useful tool for blowing air even if the railings of cooling and get rid of the dust and debris. These sprays, you can buy a portable computer/computer dealer.

    But this problem could be related to a software problem;
    In this case, I would recommend reinstallation of the operating system with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    Best regards

    I think that you need a SATA driver.

    The SATA driver is needed because new series of laptops are equipped with controller SATA HDD.
    Win XP does not have the SATA driver and install it using the external disk or you could include the SATA driver with nLite software.
    This software will help you create a new XP CD the included SATA driver.

    By the way; The SATA driver is part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manger.
