Satellite A200-10W: can I collect if I delete the hidden partition

I think Linux installation on my toshiba laptop, but before I do that I have a few questions.

I noticed I can do with my recovery dvd recovery, but I also have a hidden partition on the HARD drive.
If I install linux (and modify the original scores) can I still make recovery from recovery DVD I got with my new laptop?
(If I can't do what are my options to install linux and always perform a recovery to Vista later?)

Hi Luka

Yes, you will be able to recover the laptop back to factory settings if you delete the hidden partition.
In this case, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD to get to factory settings.
The hidden partition is used by Vista. Vista uses this partition for some backups and repair opportunities.
The use of the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive and also create the partition hidden too.

Greetings

  • Satellite A200-236 - can not get optimal resolution of the system

    Hello readers,

    I just installed the new ati drivers on my laptop and I can't get the optimal resolution of the system. I installed the old toshiba drivers, but I still have problems with the resolution. Anyone know how I can get the optimal resolution of the system to 1200 x 800?

    Mike Brust

    On what resolution the laptop switches mode?

    Before installing the new drivers, you must remove the old driver, restart your computer and install the new drivers.

    Also, make sure that you have installed all Service Packs and patches for your operating system.

    In addition, you must use the graphics drivers from Toshiba. Other graphics drivers don t have a protection against overheating and in the worst case, the graphics card can overheat and be damaged.
    With the Toshiba drivers, you are always on the safe side.

  • Is the Satellite A200-10W supports a PCMCIA slot II type

    I want to know if the side slot on the satellite A-200-10w is a PCMCIA type II port and if not, adapters external usb for the same thing?

    Hello Hari

    Satellite A200-10W does not support PCMCIA location.
    The A200 supports only the Express Card location that is placed on the left side for laptop.

    > I get external USB for the same (PCMCIA) adapters

    Don t think so. I didn't see any USB key that would allow any PCMCIA interface.

    But I rally don't know why you want to use a PCMCIA card if the Express card slot is available.
    Using cards designed for Express card slot ;)

  • Satellite A200-10W - where to find drivers for 64-bit Windows 7?

    I have a laptop Satellite A200-10W. Now I have vista x 86 installed, but I want to switch to windows 7 64 bit, but I don't know where to find the drivers because on the Web site, I can't find these.

    Can someone help me? How can I use sound card, network card, webcam and others if I don't have these drivers?

    Hello!

    I checked the page Toshiba, Satellite A200-10W belongs to the PSAECE series and so I was able to find only the Vista 64 bit drivers:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Normally, these drivers are also working on Windows 7, then you should try. Perhaps all will work them and if you have Windows 7 with all the drivers. :)

    You compare a TFT screen with a CRT monitor?
    Hey Buddy don't compare because the two screens are completely different!

    I don t want to describe the technology all in details, but if you want you can read a few articles on Wikipedia:

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD
    and

    just a hint; you will always notice a difference between the two screens while watching a movie or similar!

  • Satellite A200 - 10W PSAECE - BIOS need for Vista 64-bit

    Hello

    I'm having problems trying to update my BIOS under Vista 64-bit of the system. The plashnt.sys driver generates an error when loading.
    On the update of the BIOS page I can't find no 64-bit BIOS update for my laptop Satellite A200-10W (PSAECE). Also I've seen most of the computers portable ETA is updates of BIOS of 2009 and my update to the newest BIOS comes from 2007 (version 1.80 for Windows Vista)!

    The reason why I'm trying to update my BIOS:
    I have recently installed 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, the screen of the BIOS reports 4 GB but during POST, there are only 3! Vista reports also only 3 GB of physical memory total. I ran a series of landmarks and notes I got using 4 GB are well below the marks using only 2.
    Memory modules have been tested on another laptop and none of these problems has occurred (another laptop of the manufacturer).

    So I really need a sollution to update my BIOS and prefferably a BIOS update of 2009 available for download.

    On the other hand, I was looking for specifications of my laptop on the Toshiba site and I couldn't find my model on the current models, or models discotinued page. In 2007, when I bought the laptop, it was listed as new on the current page of models, so I expect at least to see it in the abandoned list.

    Thank you for your time!

    > 1. Why there is no updated BIOS newer than that of 2007 and
    There is no update of the most recent BIOS as Toshiba didn t release new updates.
    Why? Who knows maybe a new update is not necessary.

    > . Why my laptop is not listed in the discontinuous model (Satellite a200 - 10w psaece)
    Why should it be included as a discontinued model? The A200 series is not very old... so I n t think that this series could be abandoned

  • Satellite A200-10W: I lost dual-mode Touchpad after Windows update

    I got a satellite A200-10W. The touchpad worked well at the beginning. Then, an update of windows has been installed and I lost dual mode on my touchpad.

    It is for me a normal function as a touchpad, but the mode button does not work. It lights, it do give me the button options, volume control does not work it did not scroll even in normal mode either.
    I reinstalled the drivers both synaptics and alps, but nothing helped.

    How can I ever use dual-mode again?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    Very strange I didn't noticed any problem with the touchpad after the windows update.
    I have updated my windows and then lost the sound. After restarting again I ran the update and the Øresund back

    But if you, it seems that the MS updates could be a bad influence on the functions of touchpad.

    Have you chosen the touchpad drivers just for the PSAECE series?
    The Synaptics Touch Pad driver to set the properties and the touch pad control functions.
    And the Alps Electric Touch Pad Driver allows you to set the properties and functions of mouse control.

    Perhaps you need to configure the settings again after the new installation of drivers touchpad?  :|

    But have you tried to update to Windows Vista again? Sometimes, you have to restart the laptop to get all the necessary updates that will fix the problems.

    In a value of the case, recover the laptop and does not perform the updates of windows
