Satellite A200 - 1 2 HDD issue

HY, I have an A200 - 1 2 and he does not see the HARD drive I think that it's a hardware problem, I checked the HARD drive and it's ok for the mather Board is the problem. This laptop have a place to put a second HDD? That might solve the problem...

When this problem occurred? Have you installed some drivers or programs or tried to install Windows XP?

If you install Windows XP, the installation disc will have the SATA drivers to be integrated or put on an external USB floppy drive.

  • Satellite A200-13O: 320 HDD will work?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-13O and I wonder such propulsion will work with it:
    Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320 (7200 16 MB, Serial ATA/300, G-Force)
    If not, what are the spec max to a hard drive for my laptop model?

    Hello

    I think that he should t be a problem using this HARD drive in your laptop A200.
    The A200 has been equipped with SATA HDD too.

    But as far as I know it's a SATA (SATA/150) HARD drive. You HDD seems to be a SATA II HDD (SATA/300), but the controller is compatible to the bottom and must be able to handle this HARD drive.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8: issue playing in Open GL games

    Hello!

    I am the proud owner of the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 (graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600). I have problem with playing the games in the graph Open GL system (Jedi Academy or other Quake III-chart-based on a gaming system, for example).

    When I was looking for a answer to my problem, I have based a single thread, also marked useful, but unfortunately is not updated, site of the user's response is no longer available (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=13561㓹).

    I used Vista, now I am running XP, I downloaded the latest display drivers for XP, for my Toshiba A200 - 1 M 8, and whenever I try to launch the game with Open GL, I get error like:
    "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem".
    My question is: How can I solve this problem? Are there drivers or solution to make it works? As always, any help is appreciated.

    Greetings - Andrew Wysokiski.

    Hello

    Did you google for GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem.
    And you will get a huge amount of hits.

    It really looks like a graphic driver problem. For most updated could help to solve this;
    As far as I know not all drivers GPU supports the OpenGL but DirectX.

    Someone recommended to check if the OpenGL was chosen (if possible). IF this settings are available, then you might find somewhere in the graphics driver options.

    Bye and good luck

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - DVD burning issue, pixel dead, overheating

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba A200 (model PSAF6A) of back in January, and it is riddled with problems since then:
    -Can't burn DVD (not @ around 50%, any software is used)
    -Several dead on the screen pixels
    -Overheating when playing games (I bought an external cooling block)
    -Now, all fans are dead inside the laptop! Overheating in the first 10 minutes of starting the laptop computer!

    Now, for me, it seems that the motherboard may have started to die.

    What I'd like to know is if it will be replaced with so many problems if I take service? (I reserved a pick-up for today)
    Or they'll just to try to solve every problem?

    -Can't burn DVD (not @ around 50%, any software is used)
    ... could be a defective DVD player. or could be bad upperfilters/lowerfilters. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?ID=314060

    -Several dead on the screen pixels
    ... LCD display needs to be replaced if it meets Toshiba pixel policy.

    -Overheating when playing games (I bought an external cooling block)
    ... Too much dust in the heat sink, must be blown to the compressed air, or dismantled so its really clogged. Dust accumulation is common in carpeted rooms.

    -Now, all fans are dead inside the laptop! Overheating in the first 10 minutes of starting the laptop computer!
    ... If the fans don't turn up at all, there must be a lot of dust in there. The fans need to be replaced.

  • Satellite A200-1AX: slow HDD during music playback?

    Hey all,.

    I have had this problem since I have this laptop.
    Whenever I start my laptop, when I play a song, the computer hangs for about 10 seconds and the HARD drive seems to work without interruption, but when I suspend or stop the song, it goes back to normal.

    Why is it slow HARD disk or is it just me that has this problem?

    I deserve to have the machine that can at least play music under vista
    I want to say... it is simply unacceptable.

    I turned indexing the HARD drive and it's always the same problem. I have approximately 83 process running in the Manager tasks

    I went to XP for quite awhile and I realized that the HARD drive worked fine under it but Vista just do not cut it.

    Y at - it a fix for this?
    Seriously... $ 1400 and he can still play music...

    the exact specifications are
    Core2 T7100 1.8Ghz
    2 GB of ram
    200 GB hd
    HD2600 256 MB

    Hello

    It's really not easy to say with certainty why this happens. Can you please test is with another player such as Winamp. You can also try to disable the application pre-installed antivir. I guess you are using already preinstalled Norton. Am I right about that?

  • Re: Satellite A200-1ae - will it work with HDD SATA II?

    Hello

    I am a satisfied user of the laptop for a few years, but the HARD drive is used, so I would like to replace it with a new one. I thought Samsung SpinPoint 320GB 2.5 "HM321HI SATA3.0GB and I was wandering will it work with my satellite.
    Or that, HDD SATA2 interface will work (and I'm thinking about something new and low-cost eventually).

    Anyone tried this?

    Hello

    Satellite A200 supports the SATA HDD controller.
    SATA II is downwards compatible (would work with SATA I as well) you can also use the 2.5 SATA II HARD drive.

    Hello

    At first was a little bit the theory for a better understanding.

    In the latest Toshiba delivered recovery facilities DVD discs with all the new models of laptops. "" Since then, I think, two or three drives of years facilities are not part of the package and recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and the recovery disc can be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery image is not saved on a separate recovery partition but on the second partition of HARD drive (data partition E) in the folder called HDDRecovery.
    The screenshot on 1.5 GB WinRE partition has therefore nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.

    This creation of recovery operation may work with the factory only settings. with other words, if you change the partition structure, or if you deleted this folder HDDRecovery you won't be able to create the recovery disk or install the operating system using HARD drive recovery option.

    I guess that you do not have this folder HDDRecovery more and because of this, Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator starts with error message. This tool needs direct access to these data recovery to create the drive recovery facilities.

    I think all this bother you much, but it's your fault. Reminder with the trace message is preinstalled on each Toshiba notebook with HDD recovery:
    * Important INFORMATION *.

    * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly *.
    * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

    * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

    What you can do now is to order the new original facilities Toshiba drive under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you can use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

  • Installing the program on HDD internal 2 on the Satellite A200 - 28 p

    Hello world

    Can someone help me? My pc has 3 discs apparently (this is a Satellite A200 - 28 p) and when I do a disk defragment it says that there are 3 a windows and c and d. Now, my query is can I install programs on the d drive I have recovery discs so guess that means that this drive is empty, as says that there 91.5 GB free of 91.6 Go.

    Does that mean so I can install programs on there, as have a print program of photo that is large enough and would be helpful if could install and a few other programs that use everyday, but like here when needed, on this other drive leaving my C drive for my Sims 2 games stuff and the stuff of Vista by default so that was a great help here before asking if everyone help me out my technical skills are basically could :-(zéro

    But I'm willing to learn, and as it says this laptop comes with a think that means 120 GB HDD can use either but I wanted to check before tried anything that either don't want to take the risk of ruin if it's a recovery drive and not a single one of my personal programs.

    Thank you so much to anyone who can help me with this question that wish had more technical knowledge.

    Debbie (Simreaper)

    Hi Debbie,.

    I don't know what you mean to have three readers, it is indeed very strange for display in the Defragmenter, so for now will be only concerns on your C and D drives only (which should be fine). you said you have the recovery disc for the computer, in which case do not any space on the drives reserved for recovery (as in the case of some laptops Toshiba-no).

    I would recommend only for purposes of recovery, to make a backup of all important data and settings on a separate DVD a regular and make sure that you have a factory DVD Toshiba-state recovery (i.e. one that is in the box when you bought the computer), or one that Toshiba has prompted you to do it yourself. You can also use software such as Acronis to create an easy to maintain the recovery point. I recommend you stick with a recovery DVD and a backup of all your work and folders however to get a clean install/recovery.

    In terms of where to install your photo program/sims2 game, it is to you. As C is the primary drive the primary partition has the best performance on drives C and D. This is why I recommend to leave all your files of program out there and let the D drive for files/applications/games that you do not use as much. You could integrate the storage space of drives C and D in C only, but it's a little too complicated to explain here.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A200 HDD player upgrade

    Hello

    My Satellite A200-1AB has a GB MK8037GSX hard drive.
    It is in working condition, but I would like to replace it with a disc of larger capacity, say 500 GB.

    Can someone tell me if this would be simple, for example a new SATA 2.5 "would be compatible?

    I have the recovery CD product of Windows Vista Home Premium that came with the machine and assume that I can swap drives and reinstall from the CD.

    Thank you

    Hello

    SATA controller is not limited to a specific size of the HARD drive, so it shouldn't be big problem with bigger hard drives like 500 GB.
    It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD

  • After HDD Exchange Satellite A200-1YW began to turn off

    Hello!
    I have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1YW.
    After changing the hard drive (company), I've had my laptop repaired, but the next day it started to turn off the laptop connected to the power. When the battery isn't far away, or when it is plugged in the bios...

    someone help? ...

    PS. I don't know if it's a good notation sorry
    PS Sorry for the mistakes but I am Polish and I don't know the English:)

    Hmmm... the whole thing is strange.
    Is that Exchange HARD drive should not have a negative influence and do not reason for these downs taps. I did it many times on different models and I ve never noticed anything like that.

    In my opinion there must be another reason.

    What Miss me in your first assignment is exact explanation when this happens exactly.
    When the operating system will be loaded or later?

    If you use SATA drivers then the SATA in the BIOS mode option must be on AHCI.
    If you n t use drivers SATA you will need to set compatible mode.

  • Need new HDD for my Satellite A200 - 19L

    Hello

    I want to buy a new hard drive from Western Digital, but I don't know which is compatible with my laptop?

    My laptop is
    Toshiba Satellite A200 - 19L
    Model No.: PSAESE-00H003AR

    Thank you

    Hello!

    The new HARD disk must have a SATA port and a 2.5 HARD disk. Each HARD drive with these specifications should work in your laptop.

    As Feliks, visit the Western Digital site for models. I think you would find a HARD drive you want.
    I have good experiences with Western Digital and Seagate.

  • Update BIOS issue and on Satellite A200-1z3 FN key

    Dear all,

    Satellite A200-1z3

    I have the same problem as many of you already described here. After downgrading from Win XP, I discovered this part of the features enabled by the FN key don't work, for example FN + F2 FN + F6, FN + F7, FN + F8, FN + F9, FN + F12, FN + 1, FN + 2, FN + TAB.

    I read in this forum and found that you can solve this problem be reinstall BIOS. When I tried to download BIOS on site it requires Pass and Login which I don't have. If you have any suggestions to download it from there?

    If not, how I can activate keboard light FN + F2 and the scroll Lock FN + F9 without button FN button.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > When I tried to download BIOS on site requires Login and Pass that I n t I.
    Did you use the right page of the Toshiba driver?
    You story sounds strange for me because I have visited the Toshiba European page and choose your model. Satellite A200-1z3 PSAE3E.

    And I was able to download the BIOS 5, 60 - WIN.

    Then maybe you should try again I'm sure it'll work!
