• Satellite A200 - recovery disk problems

  I just bought the (all new store big tech) Satellite A200 for a few months and not used because I was on business trip to take. This weekend, I opened it up and running for a while.

  After that I read the manual and found that I need to create a recovery from the tools provided disk. However, the problem start here:

  1. when I click on "Recovery Disc Creator", a message is display "no HDD Recovery area!, the toshiba Recovery Disc creator cannot be launched."

  2 then I call center service support and to inform that there is a problem with the "recovery disk creator" and I have to retrieve the laptop using the hard drive partition recovery (waiting when 0 turning on the system) and the next step is complete:
  a. the laptop's boot in the recovery screen function.
  b. when I try to "restore windows PC" (option 3), it is display and error message on file not found.
  c. when I try to click on "restoring the recovery disk" (option 5), it asks me to put in the recovery disk which I do not have?

  NOTE: I'm sure that the hidden recovery partition is therre. 1.46 GB. There is no way that I can access the hidden partition from a normal windows vista screen (without drive letter).

  Then, I called the support center again (now what difference person support) and to inform you that:

  1. my recovery partition is corrupted and I need to get the recovery disk again (which I did not), it's going to cost me AUD $66 (I got from HP one and cost me AUD $15 and will be free if I come and Pick-up) for administrative costs. And it is a procedure.

  2. I explain to the support staff that it is brand new in the box laptop and I consider it as defective on arrival (DOA or FOA.

  3. I also ask what causes the problem and has been a consultant with the following reason:
  a. I may have deleted the partition accident (impossible because I still can start on the recovery partition, but can not recovery which all).
  b. There may be a virus infect in my laptop which was remove my recovery file in the hidden partition (ridiculous, you can delete some files in the drive on which you cannot yet access).
  c. I should create a recovery disc when the first time LAPTOP computer service. Which it is recommended, I get a question that if I do not, or I forgot to do so, this means that the software will automatically delete the system restore image file? I have no answer for that.

  State (when I try to post this messgae), I'm still waiting for the staffs of complaint call fomr back (very tie when you talk in support of service these days).

  NOTE 2: I would like to raise these issues, not because I want something (I do both IT support) complaints but I just want to solve the problem:

  1. is there some sort (software) allow me to access the hidden drive in and out of recovery disc image, my laptop still have the partition.

  2. is there a link I can download image recovery (in iso format) disc again? I've known it is not a question of wise, but when I ask the support staff that can re - install windows vista with the license key from the bottom of the laptop and has advised that it is not work or turn on.

  3. is there someone out there has similar problem

  Hi Thomas

  I have a European model A200 (don t know what you model is) and the A200 was NOT equipped with the option of HARD drive recovery! This means that you cannot create your own recovery disk!
  My laptop came with the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs!

  Still is it that your 1.46 GB hidden partition is not the Toshiba recovery partition but Vista hidden partition. It contains the WinRE files that are useful for repairing the operating system if something will go wrong!

  Second, the Toshiba Recovery folder is too big for the partition of 1.46 GB!
  So it is not possible that it would be placed on this s partition!

  So finally, it seems that you will not be able to create the own recovery disk and therefore, you have to order it from the ASP in your country.

• Satellite A200 suddenly stops showing anything on display

  Hello
  I have been using Satellite A200 for 2 years and it works very well. Recently, I have problems.
  When I use it all of a sudden it stops to show anything on the display but the power to the front lights are still on.

  This problem occurs often. If the motherboard is fried or there is overheating. I gave my laptop for repairs and they said that they had repaired the system board and cleaned the fan.
  But the problem still occurred. If anyone can help me I will be very grateful.

  If the service cannot help I don't know what kind of help you wait here.
  That's the big difference to discuss on a topic if you have laptops in front of you, or on this way where we can only imagine what the problem may be.

  It's really not easy to say why this happens, but there may be a problem with the display cable.
  This happens to you while you work or after display goes OFF mode (set in the power settings)?

• Power on second hand Satellite A200-1d(a) problem

  I've had my Toshiba Satellite A200 for awhile now and it was second hand when I got it.
  The AC light flashes constantly and the laptop is free of charge, is it possible to fix this?

  I can't turn on the computer, because there no charge in the battery in any case help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you

  Power light flashes is probably a sign that he has a serious problem with electronic control gear.
  Unfortunately, these issues cannot be resolved by the owners of the laptop.

  You should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask for help.

• Re: Satellite A200 - cannot burn DVDs

  I had a Toshiba Satellite A200 for several years and have never had a DVD burning problem before.

  About a week ago when I tried to burn a DVD with Nero, he went through the motions and was told everything had been done successfully, but when I went to read the DVD, the computer told me that it was a blank disc.
  I tried to use different programs to burn on DVD, with the same result every time. My DVD drive is a TSST corp CDDVDW TS - L632H ATA Device. He can still play the DVD already made and play, then I start to think that the party "burnery" (I'm fine with the techno jargon) has made his dash.

  Does this mean I need to replace the drive?
  All the answers you guys could give would be greatly appreciated, it has become a bit frustrating.
  See you soon

• Satellite A200 - cannot downgrade the BIOS to v2.40

  Please help me.

  I bought a brand new toshiba Satellite A200 series laptop with vista home premimum inside.

  For some reason, I'm not a fan of big vista.
  So I lowered my XP OS and as I was looking for pilots and all this for XP I saw an update of the Bios for my laptop it's 5.20 which was for XP. Although for Vista its 2.40 as per mentioned on the Web site.

  Now where my problems began.
  I downloaded this v5.20 bios and updated.
  Soon the problems began as laptop is overheated, it freezes and sometimes refuse to give performance.

  As I was unable to find all my drivers for XP I switched to Vista using my recovery DVDs. But the problem remains the same with Vista too, so finally, I took my laptop to a Toshiba Service Center.

  They have said that it is a motherboard problem so they fixed, but they have not set the Bios.
  I still v5.20 on my machine.

  I tried to go down to v2.40 but it always shows an error.

  Can someone help me pls... I am able to boot with a USB but I don't have a version of DOS of Bios v2.40.

  Please if anyone can provide me with my version of the bios.
  I'll be grateful to her for ever.

  Here are my system specs.

  [Information on PC]
  Model name Satellite A200
  Part number PSAFCL-01M00P

  Not even this when I buyed the laptop he showed me 749 something like a shared graphics memory now it shows only about 399.

  I know that it is simply because of this update of the Bios.
  Now I am not yet able to play good games.
  This machine is almost useless for me now.

  No help from you people will get.

  I put t know why you want to downgrade the BIOS.
  Have you read the information on the site of Toshiba for BIOS version 5.20? I created this:
  > Support Windows XP and Vista OS

  So I think that you should not downgrade the BIOS. The most recent BIOS 5.20 is for Windows XP and Vista.
  You can find this information on Toshiba Asia because you have the model of Asia (not Europe):
  http://www.PC.Toshiba-Asia.com =>
  Update BIOS version 5.20 Satellite A200 (for the PSAF0-* & PSAFC *-* ONLY)

  The Toshiba Service Center did a good job with the latest BIOS.

• Questions about the discs of recovery and partitioning Satellite A200-QH0

  I bought a model of Satellite A200-QH0 in Australia and due to the lack of forums in our country, I would like to ask a few questions here if that's ok.

  The book contains 3 partitions - partition "EISA Configuration" of 1.6 GB, the great partition of the BONE and the recovery partition. So I did the recovery DVD? s using the Recovery Disc Creator tool, as we are not provided with a real disk. But I would like to know what will make these records? My questions:

  1. they really will return that disc hard back to the _exactly_ how he was including the partition layout and software pre-installed?
  2 will be the recovery DVD works even if the disk has been repartioned? I would like to divide the system partition to give space for the files of data etc. But this extra partition will stop the recovery procedure works correctly?

  Please understand that I'm not interested in reformatting the entire disk. I want to just split the partition from the OS. But in case I need to replace the disk in the future or something, I would like to know how to close to 'original', these disks will make me, no matter what I do on the disc?

  Thank you
  Dave

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure how recovery works on the Australian laptops computers Toshiba, but I presume that the restore CD contains the image of Toshiba with the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and utilities.
  I think that if you want to use the recovery CD then the whole HARD drive will be formatted and all partitions will be erased.

  I think that the recovery partition is not created using the recovery CD because the CD of restoration has already been created for the recovery partition is no longer necessary

• Satellite A200-237: Visat Installation without formatting the two partitions

  Yesterday, I installed Windws Vista and all other software for my Satellite A200-237.
  A has 2 partition of my drive hard C and E.

  I used E for my files just like I did with my computer laptop formar.
  And when I installed windws xp that I formatted only C and E remained as it was, so I've always had my files on my laptop. I did the same with my formatted partition C AND e. visat toshiba and vista and unfortunately I lost all my files and I now have the partition C and F instead of C and E.

  Is it possible (for the next time I re install vista and format the hard disk) without format my second partition?
  Is this possible or do I really have a second HD?

  I do not remember Vista asking me what partition I want to format and with XP, I had that choice.
  Help, please.

  Hello

  Well. Usually it of possible, but only by using the original CD of Windows Vista.
  Then, you choose the partition where the operating system must be installed.

  Using the recovery CD all partitions will be deleted simply said; the recovery CD formats the entire HARD drive and you will lose all the data stored on the partitions

• Satellite A200-130: done remove from the hidden partition void warranty

  Hello

  remove the hidden recovery partition will void the warranty on the Satellite A200-130?

  No, certainly not!

  You can delete what you want ;) you can also install a different operating system.

  You would lose the guarantee only if you open and disassemble the laptop or attempt to upgrade not upgradable components such as CPU for example.

  Just for the note; You can set the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  This would create a new hidden too restore partition.

• Need drivers for my Satellite A200 PSAf3A 0QH01N

  Hi I formatted my laptop Toshiba A200 Satellite with Windows VISTA Home & finding it very difficult to find the correct drivers.
  I phoned the helpline and was the tool to download the "Toshiba Service Station" program that will automatically detect the drivers & update the missing drivers.
  I installed it and it did not detect the missing drivers.
  In Device Manager it lists,

  • Standard VGA graphics card
  • Ethernet controller
  • Mass storage controller
  • Video controller

  Need drivers, help or advice is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Satellite A200/QH0 PSAF3A-0QH01N has been published in Australia, but unfortunately, I could not find the drivers for the old A200 series on Australian pilot site...
  But the A200 series came out in Europe too.

  The drivers for the pieces of equipment must be compatible, even if the model number is different.

  So I recommend you visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver to get the drivers for the A200 series
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/Dow...ivers_bios.jsp

  Here you must choose: Archive-> Satellite-> Satellite A-> Satellite A200 series

  A tip: check this doc HOWTO that would help you to know which device requires a driver.

  Thank you.

  P.S
  Model number Satellite A200 drivers PSAF6A-02H01N

  Your laptop model must be the Australian model, but Toshiba does not offer more support A200. I have checked THE download page and you can find A210 model only.
  Portable accurate specification is unknown to me, but you can try to serch drivers on the European download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/dow...ivers_bios.jsp

  Under the option archive you can find old compatible model A200. I got A200 a long time ago and it worked perfectly with Win7 32 bit.

• Re: Satellite A200 - shuts down for no reason

  I was walking where post and for a long time, allows to get help. My laptop Toshiba Satellite A200, 3.5 years
  * Problem: *.
  Previously, its used to stop by itself in the middle of the applications without any warning, the station used to be /: screen stops, no input from the keyboard or the touchpad, but the headlights before that mean the laptop is 'ON' remained * then I used to restart and thought it was a prob. OS or a problem of battery/charger (replaced both but not difference) and then this thing began to be more frequent and now the day has come, it won't switch.

  Current scenario: *.
  When I turn it on with the battery (without charger), turns on, screen lights up, it starts, power normal and at that time there if I plug into any compatible charger (I tried a bit), he died (the same way as mentioned in the "BOLD" letters above). If I restart or launch it otherwise while the charger is plugged in, it does not start but the headlights, the fan and the most important thing, to the processor (like the sound of sparks), this sound only sounded while I plug the charger.

  So, please help me out here, I don't know why he is not initialize

  Hey Buddy,

  This s really strange behavior, but I guess that this problem is related to hardware, I doubt it has something to do with the pre-installed software
  It seems to be a serious malfunction of equipment.

  In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. In my opinion, it might be something wrong with the motherboard or the CPU itself but that s my personal opinion. So the easiest way is that you get in touch with the guys because they can give you an official response and make an accurate diagnosis. After that, you can decide whether you want to repair the laptop. ;)

• Satellite A200-1YW - required storage card driver for Windows 7

  Hello.

  I have the problem with the driver installation on Windows 7 storage card. I can not find the suitable driver for this model. Pls give me link to this driver.

  Hello

  I guess you mean the Flash card reader on your laptop?

  Satellite A200-1YW belongs to the series of PSAE3 I think and that's why you can get all the drivers here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  I founded the driver for Vista 32 bit. If you use Windows 7 32 bit, you should try this driver. Normally it should work.
