  Hello

  My Satellite A200-1AB has a GB MK8037GSX hard drive.
  It is in working condition, but I would like to replace it with a disc of larger capacity, say 500 GB.

  Can someone tell me if this would be simple, for example a new SATA 2.5 "would be compatible?

  I have the recovery CD product of Windows Vista Home Premium that came with the machine and assume that I can swap drives and reinstall from the CD.

  Thank you

  Hello

  SATA controller is not limited to a specific size of the HARD drive, so it shouldn't be big problem with bigger hard drives like 500 GB.
  It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD

  > I have the recovery CD product of Windows Vista Home Premium that came with the machine and guess I can swap the drives and reinstall from the CD.

• Re: Satellite A200-1ae - will it work with HDD SATA II?

  Hello

  I am a satisfied user of the laptop for a few years, but the HARD drive is used, so I would like to replace it with a new one. I thought Samsung SpinPoint 320GB 2.5 "HM321HI SATA3.0GB and I was wandering will it work with my satellite.
  Or that, HDD SATA2 interface will work (and I'm thinking about something new and low-cost eventually).

  Anyone tried this?

  Hello

  Satellite A200 supports the SATA HDD controller.
  SATA II is downwards compatible (would work with SATA I as well) you can also use the 2.5 SATA II HARD drive.

  Hello

  At first was a little bit the theory for a better understanding.

  In the latest Toshiba delivered recovery facilities DVD discs with all the new models of laptops. "" Since then, I think, two or three drives of years facilities are not part of the package and recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and the recovery disc can be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery image is not saved on a separate recovery partition but on the second partition of HARD drive (data partition E) in the folder called HDDRecovery.
  The screenshot on 1.5 GB WinRE partition has therefore nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.

  This creation of recovery operation may work with the factory only settings. with other words, if you change the partition structure, or if you deleted this folder HDDRecovery you won't be able to create the recovery disk or install the operating system using HARD drive recovery option.

  I guess that you do not have this folder HDDRecovery more and because of this, Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator starts with error message. This tool needs direct access to these data recovery to create the drive recovery facilities.

  I think all this bother you much, but it's your fault. Reminder with the trace message is preinstalled on each Toshiba notebook with HDD recovery:
  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  What you can do now is to order the new original facilities Toshiba drive under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you can use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

• Installing the program on HDD internal 2 on the Satellite A200 - 28 p

  Hello world

  Can someone help me? My pc has 3 discs apparently (this is a Satellite A200 - 28 p) and when I do a disk defragment it says that there are 3 a windows and c and d. Now, my query is can I install programs on the d drive I have recovery discs so guess that means that this drive is empty, as says that there 91.5 GB free of 91.6 Go.

  Does that mean so I can install programs on there, as have a print program of photo that is large enough and would be helpful if could install and a few other programs that use everyday, but like here when needed, on this other drive leaving my C drive for my Sims 2 games stuff and the stuff of Vista by default so that was a great help here before asking if everyone help me out my technical skills are basically could :-(zéro

  But I'm willing to learn, and as it says this laptop comes with a think that means 120 GB HDD can use either but I wanted to check before tried anything that either don't want to take the risk of ruin if it's a recovery drive and not a single one of my personal programs.

  Thank you so much to anyone who can help me with this question that wish had more technical knowledge.

  Debbie (Simreaper)

  Hi Debbie,.

  I don't know what you mean to have three readers, it is indeed very strange for display in the Defragmenter, so for now will be only concerns on your C and D drives only (which should be fine). you said you have the recovery disc for the computer, in which case do not any space on the drives reserved for recovery (as in the case of some laptops Toshiba-no).

  I would recommend only for purposes of recovery, to make a backup of all important data and settings on a separate DVD a regular and make sure that you have a factory DVD Toshiba-state recovery (i.e. one that is in the box when you bought the computer), or one that Toshiba has prompted you to do it yourself. You can also use software such as Acronis to create an easy to maintain the recovery point. I recommend you stick with a recovery DVD and a backup of all your work and folders however to get a clean install/recovery.

  In terms of where to install your photo program/sims2 game, it is to you. As C is the primary drive the primary partition has the best performance on drives C and D. This is why I recommend to leave all your files of program out there and let the D drive for files/applications/games that you do not use as much. You could integrate the storage space of drives C and D in C only, but it's a little too complicated to explain here.

  I hope this helps.

• 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

• Satellite A200-13O: 320 HDD will work?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200-13O and I wonder such propulsion will work with it:
  Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320 (7200 16 MB, Serial ATA/300, G-Force)
  If not, what are the spec max to a hard drive for my laptop model?

  Hello

  I think that he should t be a problem using this HARD drive in your laptop A200.
  The A200 has been equipped with SATA HDD too.

  But as far as I know it's a SATA (SATA/150) HARD drive. You HDD seems to be a SATA II HDD (SATA/300), but the controller is compatible to the bottom and must be able to handle this HARD drive.

• After HDD Exchange Satellite A200-1YW began to turn off

  Hello!
  I have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1YW.
  After changing the hard drive (company), I've had my laptop repaired, but the next day it started to turn off the laptop connected to the power. When the battery isn't far away, or when it is plugged in the bios...

  someone help? ...

  PS. I don't know if it's a good notation sorry
  PS Sorry for the mistakes but I am Polish and I don't know the English:)

  Hmmm... the whole thing is strange.
  Is that Exchange HARD drive should not have a negative influence and do not reason for these downs taps. I did it many times on different models and I ve never noticed anything like that.

  In my opinion there must be another reason.

  What Miss me in your first assignment is exact explanation when this happens exactly.
  When the operating system will be loaded or later?

• Need new HDD for my Satellite A200 - 19L

  Hello

  I want to buy a new hard drive from Western Digital, but I don't know which is compatible with my laptop?

  My laptop is
  Toshiba Satellite A200 - 19L
  Model No.: PSAESE-00H003AR

  Thank you

  Hello!

  The new HARD disk must have a SATA port and a 2.5 HARD disk. Each HARD drive with these specifications should work in your laptop.

  As Feliks, visit the Western Digital site for models. I think you would find a HARD drive you want.
  I have good experiences with Western Digital and Seagate.

  Good bye

• External USB HDD cable does not match of Satellite A200 USB ports

  I bought a new Notebook from Toshiba A200 Satellite and a 500 GB Maxtor One Touch 4 500 GB hard drive.
  The end of the USB cable to the HARD drive does not match one of the ports on the Toshiba.

  Can I get an adapter, or try to find a rope?
  HARD drive uses USB 1.1, 2.0 or Firewire port.

  Thank you!

  What?

  Sorry, but I don't believe that.
  The Satellite A200 supports USB 2.0 ports Commons and it should be possible to connect a normal USB cable to the laptop!

  Are you sure you are using the right cable to 100%?

  It should looks like this:

  I know that I nedded a floopy with drivers, but it's not portable did obtain no floppy drive!
  How can I install windows xp on that laptop! ???

  Most tried to make a version of win xp with drivers with nlite sata, but it did not work!

  Hello

  I recommend the other discussions of the forum on the same topic.
  Found this one for example:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

  You need to install the Intel Matrix storage manager before proceeding with the installation of XP.
  As the user above has already suggested the program called nLite can be useful to integrate the necessary driver for the XP CD.
