• Satellite P300D-12Y can I install Vista 64-bit?

  Hello world
  I'm new here and have my first Toshiba-laptop, just bought a week ago.
  It is this model
  http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-P300D-12Y/1060921/toshibaShop/false/

  It works OK, but Vista 32 is quite a mess ;)

  As I've worked on XP pro or Vista 64-bit on my PC now my question:

  Can I install Vista64 on this book?
  Do I need a special BIOS for the 64 bit - OS?
  The Toshiba download page are no drivers or BIOS for Vista64 corresponding to my model number.

  I tried to update my recent BIOS of 2.6 to 2.8 (included P300D-series) but without success, error message was 'no corresponding version of BIOS', I tried upgrading on windows.

  All useful tips about the BIOS and Vista64-install (and whether I should get the drivers from the manufacturer sites) are appreciated.

  THX in advance

  Of course, you can install the Vista 32 bit on this laptop.
  But the problem is that the 64 bit Vista drivers are not published at this time for this series of laptop.

  So, you have to collect the drivers of your own hands.
  In addition, you should not try to update the BIOS if it has not been created specially for this model of laptop.

• Re: Satellite A200-1IZ - can I install RAM 800 MHz?

  I have a Satellite A200-1IZ and I want to change my orginal RAM memory 2 x 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 2x2gb 800 MHz DDR2. It will work properly with 800 MHz?
  Here's something on the processor and RAM:

  Intel Centrino Duo processor with Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor technology, card WLAN Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Intel PM965 Express chipset
  Clock speed: 2.0 GHz
  FSB: 800 MHz
  level 2: 2 MB cache
  Standard system memory: 2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB
  maximum extension: 4 096 MB
  technology: DDR2 RAM (667 MHz)

  Hello!

  Theoretically, you can use the 800 MHz modules because they are compatible downgrade. This means that the RAM is also able to run at 667 MHz. as much as I know that the chipset supports only up to 667 MHz speed and you won't see a performance gain and you can also buy some RAM to 667 MHz.

  In any case, I have good experience with RAM Kingston. I use the modules of this factory always for the upgrade of my notebooks.
  Maybe this information is useful for you

  Good bye

• Portege 3490CT - I can't install XP using the USB dvd burner

  Hello

  I can't install Windows XP Home edition. I have USB-DVD writer and also an external recorder Toshiba on PCMCIA (CPI 5025a Toshiba) but he couldn t find any external recorder.

  I remove the HARD drive and format the extern in 2 parts.
  I first install BACK and copy the files of Windows XP Home edition on the second part, but I could also install it because of the conflict of the FAT and NTFS t. In the BIOS, I chose cardbus-16 bit. My CD burner works (tested before).

  Please help to install Windows on my laptop.

  You cannot install Windows XP directly because there is no driver for the external optical drive to build.

  Mainly, you're on the right track.
  Format the HARD drive, make two partitions the two FAT32.
  Copy the folder I386 from your CD to install XP on the second partition.
  Start the installation calling winnt.exe.
  Install XP on the partition of frist.
  After the installation is complete, you can use the XP "convert.exe" command to change FAT32 to NTFS partitions. Run "convert.exe /?' in a DOS window to get the correct settings."

• 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

• I can't install Vista x 64 Bios on Satellite A200

  Months ago that I posted that I have intalled Vista x 64 home premiun on my Satellite A200 and I can't install Vista 64-bit bios.
  But today, after trying to install new Vista 2.50 x 64 Vios and have the same problem using Toshiba Recovery CD.
  I need to install Vista 32 bit and I can Flash the new 2.50 Bios in Vista 32.

  So I think that my CD rom is ok and I think I have not install Vista x 64 Bios because have not all drivers.

  Whats is your opinion?

  Hello

  I found your other thread regarding the update of the BIOS in Vista 64-bit:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=123211#123211

  It seems that something was\is with your ROM BIOS module and it was therefore not possible to update the BIOS on the A200.
  You case that neither BIOS 32 bits or 64-bit BIOS update is possible

  So, my recommendation is. Contact the ASP in your country for a control.
  Don t be angry with me, but I don't see other reasons why you are not able to update the BIOS

  Good luck

  Hello

  Yes, you can install Windows XP SP2.

  There are two things you need to be aware of:

  (1) you need a SATA of F6 driver on a floppy disk when installing XP. Otherwise XP does not detect the SATA HDD. Search for "SATA" of this section, it is already been covered several times.

  (2) after installing XP, you should download and install the XP A200 drivers from the Toshiba Europe Support/Drivers site

• Question about shortcuts FN on a Satellite A200-1CR

  HY
  I have a problem... or that's what I think it is... I bought a new TOSHIBA Satellite A200-1CR with Vista Home Basic preinstalled and I upgraded to Vista Business. The problem is in what regards the use of the FN key with additional shortcuts... With the help of these shortcuts is tricky because I don't really know how they work... Under Windows, after starting at the top of the screen, I have a few buttons (exactly the FN shortcuts) that I can use by keeping the mouse over and they slide down, but the problem is that after these buttons appear to the use of the FN keyboard hotkeys is disabeled... or kind, because I can use FN + F9 , FN + F10 shortcut FN + F11. Please help me and tell me if this is normal... and if not tell me how can I fix. Thank you!

  Hello
  Oh, that's normal, Don t worry. You can disable the buttons and then a little work with the FN keys.
  Just remove that bar on the top of the autostart and he won´t bother you more.

  I have 2 GB of RAM
  I can install 4 GB of RAM (because I try 2x2Gb 800 MHz) and don t work.

  Do I only 667 MHz or my laptop supports only 2 GB?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Your laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB top only and for the upgrade you must use 667 MHz compatible modules.
  To correctly update I recommend 2 X 1 GB DDR2-667 with PA3512U-1M1G part number.

• Satellite A200-1CR - black screen and no boot

  Model:
  Toshiba Satellite A200-1CR

  Question:
  By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power LED lights up but still black screen (not even of lighting). The logo led 'Satellite' in the lower left corner of the chassis remains off while the HARD drive has made a unique quick snap; DVD activity led (the device) always remains on even without any CD inserted, by pressing the eject button do nothing (status bar is locked) and no sounds of activity.
  No logo screen of boot (show stays), not of beeps dark and wide, no DVD or HARD disk activity, keyboard seems does not (all combinations that should light up an led, capslock, numlock, etc, does nothing), the fan works.

  I have already (without success) tried:
  -Unlock the tray, insert the rescue CD and power on
  -Remove the main battery and power on with AC adapter only
  -Insert a bootable USB stick/external HARD drive

  The computer worked as expected the day before and there has not been any kind of shock. Described is the situation I faced when I turned on the next time (only 24 hours later).

  What could be wrong?
  Thank you.

  > By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power led turns on but screen stays black

  Well, looks like hardware problem; Maybe the memory problem or something serious with the mother or the CPU. It of really difficult to say what could cause this.
  You can try to check the RAM modules.
  Trying to start using a maybe only module, it is useful in the case otherwise I fear, you will need assistance from technicians Toshiba ASP m
