• Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

  Hi all

  I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
  I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

  The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
  I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

  Hi amigo

  I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

  Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

• Re: Satellite A200-237 ETA-6 with Windows XP

  Hi ppl,

  My name is Sibbe and I am from Holland and here again.
  A few months ago, I bought the Satellite A200-237, distributed initially with Windows Vista. I really enjoyed working with Vista, but everyone knows that Vista slows down your system. Also a lot of software and games do not work on Vista so I wanted to try if my laptop also works with Windows XP.
  So I installed Windows XP on my laptop, no drivers or software. After hours of searching on Google, I discovered that a lot of things that worked on my laptop with Vista don't work also on XP. For example:

  -FN button does not work on XP ((quand j'ai appuyé sur le bouton dans Vista, flashcards est apparu sur le dessus de mon écran) only the green light comes on but the F1 to F12 keys does not work)

  -Toshiba Power Saver ((en fait, cela ne fonctionne pas sur Vista mais c'était parce qu'il y avait beaucoup d'options dans les paramètres d'énergie de Vista) now, on XP, you need to install another program first before saving work?)

  In any case, is anyway how I can do these things work under XP. And, of course, would be nice if I could use the flash cards for the FN key, but I suppose Toshiba has never done those for XP.

  Data sheet:
  Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.09 GHz
  2 GB of RAM
  ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 256 MB
  230Gb S - ATA HDD
  Windows XP SP2 (not yet fully updated)

  Thanks in advance!

  If you have installed XP on the Satellite A200 series you should not t forget to update the BIOS to the XP version.
  If you n t update the BIOS, then your FN buttons will not work even if the correct drivers are installed.

  So be careful and do not forget that the BIOS and other XP drivers designed for you, the series are installed correctly!

  If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

• Satellite A200-13O: need some answers on the upgrade of RAM

  Hi there everyone,

  I bought the Satellite A200-13O and I found in the forum Jayjay says:

  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?

  PS: could you recommend good antivirus, I am not satisfied with norton because it is really really really slow!

  Thank you all for the advice (!)

  Hello

  This article may be interesting for you
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  T1 NO.
  Q2 Yes
  Q3 as described in the technical paper 4 GB will be recognized if you install Vista 64-bit.
  Q4 Yes as you can.

  Antivirus, for me, is better AVIRA antivir - http://www.free-av.de/en/index.html
  The application doesn't have a lot of resources and works perfectly. I use it for years.

  Good bye

• 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

• HP Envy 15t: 8.1 Windows Installer Clean in the hard drive model GPT without losing the RECOVERY partition

  Always I try to format my windows partition, I get the following error:

  Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style.

  So I'd like a clean install of Windows 8.1 without changing the style of hard drive or in bulk my RECOVERY partition.

  OBS.: I just can I perform boot after you disable UEFI and Secure Boot.

  @lucasc ,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  You will not be able to do it without damaging the recovery partition.  If you want to do a fresh install on your system, use the system recovery.

  If this isn't the case, you will install the operating system of your choice.  So before you send that the laptop came with the operating system, and you supported drivers for the operating system you want to install.

  If this isn't the case, you will not be able to find in driver support and you end up with hardware problems.  The drivers are built for laptop based on the OS that it was released with and they are owners.

  I hope this helps.  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

• External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

  I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

  Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
  error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

  So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
  gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
  Windows can not access the disk".".

  So is there any other way or option?

  Thank you

• 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 A100-237: I don't have the Catalyst Control Center after the installation of the driver

  Hello

  I use a laptop Satellite A100-237. 1.83 GHz Core Duo, Ati Mobility Radeon X 1600 512 MB Hypermemory, 1.5 GB of RAM DDR2.
  My laptop seems to now use only the own 256 MB RAM (own RAM graphics card).
  I bought Need for Speed Carbon and installed on my laptop.

  When I tried to open the game, a blue screen appeared for less than 1 second and the system rebooted. Windows said it was a critical mistake and a stopped driver Windows XP for work, so the system is restarted.
  I searched on the net for this problem, and the people said that when they pilot updated the problem is resolved.

  I downloaded the 8.241 display driver (download file name: display_xp - 8241.zip) Toshiba - Europe.com.
  Driver installed, but when installing ATI Catalyst Control Center, at one time installation process continuing collapsed. I had to end the task after a while.
  He said that the driver is installed and system must be rebooted.

  Now the game works, which is not the problem, but I do not have the Catalyst Control Center. (Where I recently use to connect other screens to my laptop)
  How can I solve this problem?

  Sorry for the long letter,
  Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  As suggested above, you can try to restart the installation but I guess that you will not be able to install the graphics driver of ATI origin on the manufacturing site.
  You can try to use the omega site ot driver drivers Toshiba orginal...

  @aportakal
  Anyway, the ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1600 is not a memory sheared graphics card and this is why this card does not use the part of the main memory. It supports a 256 MB own memory.

• Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

  Hello all :)

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
  I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

  After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
  After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
  After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

  Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
  Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
  Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

  I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
  I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

  Any ideas of what past?
  Thank you very much

  I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

  The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

• On Satellite A200 error message: could not open the ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode driver

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite A200
  When I run the windows (vista) I get the following error: * 'Can t open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver.*'!
  I installed all the drivers and the error remains.
  I installed all the drivers on the Toshiba site, but the problem persists.
  The Device Manager shows me that each device is working properly.

  Someone at - it a solution?

  Thank you

  ACPI is the installation of your Windows operating system power management. If this fails you may need to run a recovery system on your computer. You can do this with the hidden partition on your hard drive, but this will erase all data on your machine. If this does not resolve the problem, you may consider making your hard drive, checked bad sectors, as this may have failed.

  I hope this helps. :)
