I changed the subject, because it was so dumb. Why would I ask 'what hard drive buy' in a Toshiba forum :) what a forum administration...

Hello

Satellite A200 is a more recent series of laptops. This series of laptop use and support the SATA HDD controller and this means that you need a SATA HDD!

The laptop runs the 2.5 hard drives. The speed of the HARD drive is not very important for compatibility so that you can choose 4200 RPM or other

In addition the SATA controller has no limitation in size so THEORETICALLY, you should be able to use hard drives with 320 GB or more
But in some cases rare BIOS would not be able to manage some HARD drive sizes, but this generally isn't the case

    AFAIK, you need the old HARD drive password to clear the password disk HARD asking.
    If you have forgotten the password to disk so you don t have any other possibility to get into the HARD drive. In this case, the HARD disk is unusable and unfortunately you need a new HARD disk drive. :(

  • I need some advice for the Satellite L630/03

    Hi all

    I just bought my first Toshiba L630/037 (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l630/psk04a-037001/specifications#details) and I'm really excited that I'm waiting to load for hours first 2 or if, after perform you a unboxing conversion it!
    He looks bloody awesome and I can't wait to start using it!

    You have a few questions:
    1. when I received it, the sticker that keeps the top down was already torn (as in a person already open).
    The clerk said that everything is fine with it, so we opened it to check that the main seal for the laptop has not been broken and that the adapter and cable was there. Now that I'm home and I have everything out, I noticed that I have no CD.
    Is that suppose to be right? I'm a bit confused because the last laptop that I bought a few of the installation CD and the drivers that came with it. In addition, is there something else I should be aware of that should have been in the box?
    All I have is the power cord, power adapter, manual, portable with battery already in it.

    2. in the purchase, there are already standard warranty 1 year that comes with the laptop. I noticed on the Toshiba site, you can buy an extended warranty. Should I buy now? Or can I get, say 1 week before the end of year 1?

    If anyone has useful tips or advice that would be greatly appreciated!

    See you soon!

    > I took everything out, I noticed that I have no CD.
    Yes, that's right. No CD is delivered pre-installed Toshiba Software is on the HARD drive and you can create a clean recovery disk! Please see the operating manual!

    > Should I buy now? Or can I get, say 1 week before the end of year 1?
    Well, as far as I know you don t need to buy the extended warranty immediately after the laptop was purchased

    I found this info:
    > Q: When can I buy the extended warranty?
    > A: the extended warranty is eligible to purchase, during the period of warranty the laptop

    Bq. "the laptop can be upgraded up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB). But the Windows operating system will not recognize the full 4 GB. He acknowledged only 3 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS': 0

    Q1 - is saving 1 GB of RAM cause any problem, when is not used?

    Q2 - can spare 1 GB waiting in my book up is 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit?

    Q3-How can I upgrade CPU 32-bit to 64-bit?

    And just need to confirm a report of R2D2 on notice the guy with A200 - 14 d that have 'problem with RAM', which is similar to my confusion-

    Bq. "... The laptop was equipped 667 Mhz modules, but the FSB supports 533 Mhz max. That's why the modules run max with the speed of 533 Mhz (dual channel)... »

    Q4 - can I install 2 x 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2 - 5300 SO - DIMM despite FSB run just 533 MHz?

    Also should I look for a hard drive with the same speed? It doesn't matter if its fatser?
    Wise, capacity is also ok for larger, will my laptop be able to handle it. Thanks for help

    Hello

    The Satellite A200 supports the SATA HDD controller.
    That's why you need to buy a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    The value of the rmp is not really important for compatibility issues with the 4200 RPM HDD or more is possible and compatible.

    SATA controller not limited to any size of HARD drive, you can also use large drives.

  • Satellite A200 - Crackle sound comes from the HARD drive

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200. When I start my laptop the patter comes from the hard drive.
    Someone knows something about it?

    Thank you
    Vikas

    In my view there s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
    My drive HARD click every time while accessing data on the laptop and everything run ok for 3 years.

    But that doesn t mean that there is no hardware problem with your HARD drive. Usually it's not easy to tell when a HARD drive wound begins to malfunction. My first HARD drive died after 6 years of use. But the other HARD drive died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by the warranty.

    Finally, I would recommend backup your data always on an external HARD disk to prevent data damage.

    Good bye

  • Windows problem for hard drive replacement

    I am trying to replace a hard drive in a HP d530 for a science teacher as the XP is a failure. He needs the XP until I finished preparing the Windows 7 and it has data on the XP and I put Windows 7 on the new hard drive and it has 80 GB. The old hard drive Windows XP and it is a 40 GB. I had two hard drives hooked when installing Windows 7. Windows 7, the name is the C drive and disk XP the D. I tried to start the hard drive of 7 single and it gives me an error of invalid system disk. Press a key to reboot. When I have two connected hard drives, windows 7 starts very well. A computer teacher wants to clone Windows 7 for another professor of science. He said, it won't help him with two hard drives connected. How can I get on the 80 GB stand-alone installation without having to reinstall Windows 7 Windows 7. I want to disconnect the hard drive from XP and just use the hard disk 7. I have the 7 and XP on separate hard drives. They are the two IDE hard drives. I need to get the new hard drive to boot by its self and windows 7 as a stand-alone installation.

    That's good news.

    I'm so glad you took in charge.

    Hello

    1. you can buy many HARD drives around, they are much cheaper now (not like a few months back due to flooding in Thailand). For Office HARD drive, you can pay about $150 for 2 TB.

    2 you can order a set of recovery DVD from HP, this game will cost you between $ 30 to $ 50 (I think)

    Once you have your new drive installed and your recovery disc made available:

    Place the first recovery disc in the DVD drive, and then press the power button. If prompted to press a key to boot from the DVD do. In the Recovery Manager, select the factory reset. Who will install the operating system and all the partitions that were on the original hard drive.

    Can I use the recovery disk to install the OS?  on this new HARD drive? Yes and Yes

    Can I use the product key on the stikcer on the bottom of the laptop to activate win7? Yes

  • Satellite A200-1DY - need added package for Vista 64-bit

    I can't find t value added package for 64-bit vista in any web update from Toshiba and I need because I installed the 64-bit version of Vista. It works fine but I need VAP and it seems that there is not.
    Why Toshiba don't have PPV for vista 64?

    Seems that the Toshiba VAP is not available for this model of laptop.
    Why? Who knows. ?:|

    But from my experience, Toshiba VAP contains some applications that control certain features of the laptop as FN keys for example.

    It seems that these applications have been outsourced and you can download it separately.
    For example this:
    _Flash cards support utility 1.48.0.3C_
    This tool is required to use the Toshiba Flash Cards (FN + F *)

  • Satellite A200 - recovery for HARD drive replacement drive

    Hi all,

    I have here an A200 owner said that he has just stopped working, it gives the message "BOOTMGR is missing", it was running Vista Basic. Vista recovery disc found no operating system (recovery program has written a few files from Notepad on the drive which seem to be the only things on it) install the drive in an external enclosure and try on another computer shows that the only files are the ones notebook. A disk check program found a few bad sectors.

    I intend to replace the drive, my question is what I can do. the operating system, he had a legal copy of Vista, but it came from Harvey Norman with no recovery disc (if the discs provided?) that I have to buy a new copy of the operating system.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Hi Zamica,

    I m a bit confused... As a first step, you wrote that the recovery disc found no operating system and then you wrote that he came with no recovery disc

    Anyway, if you n t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can order it on the Web from Toshiba site (depending on the exact model) or you can ask a service provider authorized in your country.

  • Satellite A200-221 - need hotkeys drivers for Windows XP Home edition

    Hello!

    Who are the drivers that will allow for
    for example, the hotkeys for screen light? My F1, F3, F4, F5, F10, F11 works well but the F2, F6, F7, F8, F9, F12 does not work... someone knows why?

    If anyone knows what is this, please help!

    Hey,.

    Well, I think that nobody can tell exactly what you need if you don t drivers posting information on these unknown devices.

    First, you must identify them. Therefore, you must check the provider and the device ID that you can read the following article:

  • Need some advice for storage of laboratory work station.

    Hello community,

    I was student and new to ESXi. I would like to build a cluster VM storage initially for HA and FT, but my SSD is maximum and would like to make my external storage using my other PC small box. No I have no room for another player.

    This is my configuration of lab.

    .

    A DS81 shuttle that has my Workstation11 Server 2008 running for the DNS, AD and two ESXI 6.0. on the third host, I would install vCenter 6.0 as one. EGGS only because its been hell Server installation.

    Second Shuttle DS81 (do not use) with the same characteristics. They all have two 100 SSD with 16 GB GB memory with 2 NICs with opassive not to switch between the two and using bridge vmNet0.

    What is your recommendation on the creation of storage using the extra white box? or I also a 16 GB in PC SD card I would use it as a storage device. Can I do it using my computer?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Hello

    The extra PC for use as additional storage space will work fine.

    You can do this through software like freeNAS or just install linux and set up an NFS share.

    I do not recommend the use of the SD card which do not work very well, these cards are all way too slow.

    Even the fastest have too much latency and will drive you up a wall.

    An SD card allows you to start an operating system like vSphere, but you don't want to host VMs on them.

  • Need some advice for my little shoot in A.S. 2.0 script

    Dear wizzards Flash,
    After spending many hours on this script, because I'm not a wizzard (again :) I almost give up.)

    I created 3 objects.
    The target (you can move it up and down)
    The shooter (I flip that onEnterFrame in degrees of right to achieve the target);
    The balls (bullets) that hit the target in the middle.

    As you can see it almost works:
    my example

    The problems I have is:
    When you drag the target from top to down fast... the balls also go up and down and
    do not follow the path in a linear way.
    Whe the degree is zero... the ball speed is too fast... the speed of the ball must be constant.

    Now I have a lot of mathematical drawings on my paper and use my calculator a lot, but maybe
    someone has already done this before and would like to share the access to its source code. At least I have tried myself :)

    My source code is:





    1. the starting point depends on your point of alignment. your hoek reg TP must be where you want to ball start.

    2. who should be:

    MC = balA [i];
    balA.splice (i, 1);
    mc.removeMovieClip ();
