Satellite A200-1NH-AHCI/SATA300/ChipSet and the Installation of Windows 7

Hi all

I have a Toshiba A200-1NH.
Model: PSAE3E-03K01DDU.

Because the hard drive has failed I replaced it with a new one.
Model: WD3200BPVT.
It is the ATA/300 and 320 GB.

My goal is to install Windows 7. I started with the disks of origin comes with the laptop to install Vista and intended to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 later.

Start with the original installation disc leads me to the first boot of Windows and then the system says "Windows cannot configure your computer's hardware. She's.

I did some research and discovered that she could have something to do with the Chipset drivers.
It is not possible to add drivers during the installation by using the original recovery disk. That's why I tried an install of Windows 7 and adding the AHCI ICH8M drivers during installation.

Windows 7 installation cannot use the drive, any driver chipset I have add during installation, it does not change a thing.

To revert to the original installation disc provided with the laptop, formatted the disk, absolute 0 partitions on it, restarted with disk, create partitions, copy of the data from windows and once again, the message:
"Windows cannot configure the hardware in your computer.

I have not tried to update the BIOS, did not and manual for it that does not use Windows Update the BIOS.
I have not tried another disc. I connect this drive on my Mac and ran diagnostics, that's fine.
I have not tried all the AHCI drivers, I found, there are hundeds, it is unclear which I should use.

You guys give me advice?

[EDIT]
New version of BIOS found, cannot use it.
To install Windows, I need to update the BIOS, to update the BIOS... I need Windows.

> Windows 7 installation cannot use the drive, any driver chipset I have add during installation, it does not change a thing.

To my knowledge, Windows 7 already contains the SATA/AHCI driver that's why it should not be necessary to add the SATA driver during the installation of Win 7. Had driver for Win XP or Vista installation only.

This is why I would recommend checking another HARD drive and boot from the original disc of Microsoft Win 7.

By the way: the European Toshiba driver page provides the Intel Storage Manager (this package contains the SATA drivers) just to Win XP and Vista so my assumption should be correct that Win 7 doesn't have the SATA driver to recognize the HARD drive during the installation procedure.

  • Satellite P20 - formatting drive HARD and the installation of Windows XP Sp2

    Hello world

    Beforehand, I want to thank you for taking the time to help me with my questions.

    Due to system problems I'm trying to re - install Windows XP SP2.

    Based on the installation process, I have two questions:

    1. when I start the PC, the operating system Windows XP installation CD in the CD drive, I am unable to run it directly. Instead the old operating system (which I want to remove) starts. Is there a specific key in the Toshiba P20 notebook that runs the CD automatically? I understand that when the Windows XP installation CD to run it gives me the option to format the HARD drive.

    2. If I want to format the HARD disk directly, what is the best way to do this?

    Once again, thank you very much for the help

    Best regards

    Q.

    Hello

    I assume that you have the original CD of Microsoft Windows XP.
    To install a new OS, you must start on this CD.

    Insert the CD and after laptop starting immediately press the F12 key.
    This will enable the Startup menu, and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

    As to question 2;
    During the installation of XP Setup will ask you the HARD drive formatting. Simply to choose this option and the HARD drive will be formatted.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200 PSAE6E: no HARD drive during the installation of XP

    Hi Vandeven,

    I have the same laptop that you are, but I have difficulty to get Windows XP to recognize the hard drive.
    It keep saying there is no hard drive detected.

    I don't have a floppy drive either.

    Is there another way to install Windows XP without the SATA Driver?
    My bios is 2.10 and I can switch to a different bios it wont let me. Keep saying bad Bios!. But isn't.

    Please help as I am sick and I tried Windows Vista...
    Programs slow and inconsistent.

    Thank you much in advance.

    Why you n t use the forum advanced search option and search for similar topics?

    Installing driver SATA doesn't concern only the A200 series.
    On most new notebook Series SATA, driver installation is necessary.

    In any case if you want to use the search option, then you would find this Toshiba document:

    Could you please help me to solve this problem.

    Sorry, but for me the question is not clear enough... Satellite A200 recognizes the connected USB MemoryStick?
    If he recognizes the USB device connected, then everything seems to be OK.

    By the way: you said that the laptop needs a lot of time reading the USB...
    How long does it take and have you checked if the number is displayed using different USB ports and different flash memory sticks?

  • Satellite A200 - password disk HARD 'frozen' in the BIOS

    Satellite A200 computer laptop does not recognize the HARD drive.
    Reconstruction of the disk with Vista or XP - Pro (on another machine) have proved to be unsuccessful.

    Originally, continually blue machine armored and quicky restarted, Machine was infected by the virus and Trojans that I believe have damaged BIOS. The BIOS now appears to have 'frozen' a HARD drive password (unknown) which transfers any HARD drive new - perpetuating the problem.

    Any ideas or suggestions are welcome, thanks.

    Hello

    Usually, you should be able to remove the HARD drive password in the BIOS.
    You have to put the old HARD drive password must use ENTER to put an empty string as a new HARD drive password and you will need to confirm this
    Save the changes and restart again

    If this procedure is not possible or does not work then there must be something wrong with the BIOS, module ROM BIOS or motherboard.
    Maybe an update of BIOS/reflash could be useful, but generally all passwords must be removed before attempting a BIOS updates, which could be risky
    I think you should get in touch with a local ASP and need to ask for help, maybe the technician will be able to reflash the BIOS

    Welcome & good luck

    Do I need a new toshiba Bios Chip?

    I have a Satellite A210 - 16G and I decided to the new version of BIOS (2, 00-WIN32) flash. I downloaded the new version, the decompressed files two (setup.exe and alaa200a.rom), quit all running programs and disconnected from the internet and launch the setup.exe.

    After a program window apperared and it starts automatically check my bios version (strange thing - cooler system started working with maximum RPM) and after 5-10 seconds, this window became blink and at the top, there was a message 'no response '.

    I thought that it is ok and I expect about 15 minutes for a result...
    But I suck. I closed the window and tried to restart, but suddenly I got a white screen.

    I disabled a camputer in now the power button / stop.
    And after that I can depend on to it - I press the power button, then a power led lights and that's all, blinking screen, no response.

  • Satellite Pro A10 stops during the installation of Windows

    I have a satellite Pro A10, which stops during the installation of Windows. The installation gets to the part where I need to select the HARD drive to install, then the system off just. I can restart it immediately, and the sdame happens.

    If I enter the BIOS, everything is detected OK, and I've updated to the latest version (V1.4). Also when in the BIOS, the system will remain under tension for ever and a day! and no downtime. I have a couple of diagnostic CD, then run the tests is the same thing, but I ran the seagate diagnostic tool and the HDD OK passes, as does the main map, but cannot perform detailed testing that the system shuts down during the tests.

    I suspect an overheating issue but would like advice.

    Hmmm it s very strange. I thought that the HARD drive could malfunctions but it of very impossible if the HARD drive has passed the Seagate diagnostic test.

    However, it would be very interesting to know if the installation of the OS would end with another HARD drive.
    You know, it of always difficult to provide an exact solution without any diagnostic tests.

    For me, it really looks like a hardware malfunction. So perhaps it would be advisable to contact the authorized Toshiba maintainer for a control of the laptop.
    Guys could run tests and would situate the fault quickly.
