• Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

  So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

  But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

  The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
  But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

  The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - how to get Vista back?

  Hi all

  Recently I bought used Satellite A200. The person who used it removed Vista and it seems, he removed also hidden HARD drive partition, I need. The only thing I have is the key product vista Home premium on the back side.

  Is it possible to go back to vista? Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Why must you the hidden HARD drive partition? If Windows is deleted, the hidden HARD drive partition will not help you. It's just a feature of Microsoft for the Windows recovery environment and t can restore windows.

  In any case, I think you need Toshiba Recovery disk to restore the version preinstalled Windows.

  I put t know what Satellite A200 you have exactly, but no more, you can order a recovery disc [here | https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] or ask a [certified maintainer | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/].

• Satellite A200: How to restore Vista back

  Jin

  I have a new a200.
  After a few fews on Vista I installed Windows xp.
  Now, I put the Vista (without xp) from the recovery partition.

  How can I do this?

  Michael

  You n t need to install the Vista partition but the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  Just put it in the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

  Notepad starts from the CD and the recovery CD will format the HARD drive!
  The entire procedure will take about 10 minutes. Then the laptop will be set back to factory settings.

• Satellite A200-1d(a): various problems with Windows Vista Mail

  Model: Satellite A200-1d(a)
  O/s: Windows Vista editions Home Premium more
  Background: Recommended for a parent, now transformed into 'support harassment ".

  The behavior of Windows Mail is displayed is non-standard and unreliable, for example:

  Creating new folders local they are initially displayed in the list of folders (left sidebar), if the mail is restarted they disappear and reappear only if they are selected after clicking on "local folders". Other than the Inbox, local folders and the Microsoft? (used for notes, etc.), all the other default folders are missing, either sent, sent, drafts box, etc.

  Another minor issue is that windows mail does not seem to recognize when the status of the internet connection changes from unavailable to available, in order to empty the Outbox and send emails, it is necessary to restart windows Messaging.

  A number of occasions, all messages disappear from your Inbox and all other folders are not available, the only solution to this problem seems to be a reboot of the laptop.

  This link seems to suggest that there is a problem with the security software which is now Norton Internet Security (configured and bundled with the laptop):
  http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-software/551829-Windows-Mail-doesn ' t-display - messages.html

  I tried to disable email inbound/outbound scanning in Norton, but it made no difference.
  Next step is to apply:

  and then remove Norton Internet security

  Any ideas?
  Other than the foregoing the laptop is fine, looks like a problem of s/w for me.

  Hello

  I can't provide an exactly the solution to this problem of Vista Mail but to me, it looks like a Microsoft Vista operating system problem and not Toshiba Satellite.
  I don t think there could be a problem with the hardware that's why we should look for solutions.

  Now you will ask where a software solution? In my opinion, you should check the knowledge base Microsoft for some useful tips.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/search/
  and the solution center in Windows Vista
  http://support.Microsoft.com/windowsvista

  But first make sure that your Vista operating system is up-to-date and you have already installed all the updates and patches!

• Satellite A200-21dts CD/DVD drive with a Blu - ray drive replacement

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A200-21dts supplied with the mat * a UJ-850 drive.

  My original disk no longer works...
  I plan to buy a new one, but I wish that whoever has a buit in the Blu - ray dvd player.

  I've heard that not all players are working with Toshiba laptops, so I would like a little help to find a bluray player that would work with my laptop.

  Two readers caught my attention:
  the Panasonic UJ - 120 and the Sony BC 5500 has.

  These drivers work with Toshibas?
  Anyone have another suggestion?

  Thank you much for the help!

  Hello

  > These drivers work with Toshibas?
  I think you will have to test it yourself.
  As much as I know Toshiba didn t nothing said about Blueray players compatible Satellite A200.

  The fact is that not all readers are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  With the help of ODD is not compatible you will get an IDE #1 error and the drive will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  But I've read here in the forum that some guy managed to upgrade own Toshiba units with a blue ray player
  So I m thinking you've got a good opportunity to update.

• Satellite A200 - how to check the temperature of the processor fan?

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A200 that my teenagers use a little, or abuse a little! Recently, it would not start up. I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system! How to check the temp CPU or fan?

  Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage. Although children watch movies with her on their doona may have already reached this!

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hey mate,

  How to clean the fan exactly? It s advisable to use the jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  In addition if the fan doesn't work anymore it of necessary to replace. You can order spare parts at an authorized service provider.

• 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.

  To my knowledge, not any of the A200 series support the BT

  However, you ask the BT (pilot) software.

  Here you are:

  It is a Toshiba BT portal. You will find the latest version of the BT software.
