• Satellite A200 28H: F6 floppy will not work when installing XP

  Hello

  I am trying to install Windows XP pro on my new laptop (Satellite A200 28 H), and since it needs driver SATA, I downloaded the driver suitable for my laptop (Satellite A200 28 H), put it on a floppy disk for use with a USB floppy drive (which works fine), press "F6" when appropriate and everything... But it simply doesn't. I had training as a technician for a few years, so even thouh that is no longer my work and I might be a little rusty, I think I still know at least a little what I do... Well, apparently I'm more image than I thought!

  I've tried several things, and this is what I get:

  * If I don't use all the disks, Windows XP will not find the hard drive. Which was intended, no problems here, don't except for the fact that it is completely useless for me :)

  * If I force the driver on the floppy disk, despite Windows tells me that is already a driver that can be used, then within 10 seconds I get a BSOD with the stop message 0x7B (found or inaccessible boot device).

  * If I use the floppy drive, but do not force the driver and listen instead of Windows ("oh, you already have a driver? ("OK, then, use and too bad that diskette"), I can actually finish the installation process. Windows will copy all the necessary files on the disk, it will even restart correctly after that and moved on. But when the installation is complete, the computer will restart, I'll see the loading for a second screen, and then, BSOD stop 0x7B again.

  I'm sure I downloaded the driver for my computer. In fact, I also tried a couple of bad drivers too, just to be safe (IE I use Intel Matrix for ICH8M, but I also tried the ICH7M to be sure), I tried with drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site, on the site of Intel and whatnot-other-website-for-newbies-or-powerusers, and I still have the same behavior as described above.

  I tried partitioning / formatting during installation, and I also tried leaving the file system intact. If I do the latter, the only difference is that I have offered 2 possible OS to boot from, the two being Windows XP and both failed miserably.

  It's probably worth mentioning that, if I use the recovery DVDs and start over and clean with Vista, I have no problem whatsoever, except for the loaded gazillion process during startup, the RAM already used half and applications useless hundred I don't give a darn on... And the fact that some applications that I need work just can not be installed on Vista.

  If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem, I would be very grateful!

  Hello

  The procedure, including the SATA drivers in Win XP using the external USB floppy drive is very easy.
  First you need to download the Storage Manager and having to put on the diskette.

  During the installation of Win XP you must press F6 for inclusion since the external floppy drive and follow the new instructions on the screen.

  _Note; _
  Very important is that your XP CD Win would contains SP2!
  Without SP2 a BSOD can appears and could break up of installation!

  Don t format or don t create all partitions after the installation of the SATA driver. It can erase the installed and included from HARD disk SATA driver.

  Last but not least some readers of external floppy drive are not supported. I read that some users had some problems with an external FDD drives they tested another drive and it worked finally

• Satellite A200-PSAF6A - white screen, will not start

  I've had for about a year or more now, out of warranty, and I had no problems so far. The operation of the machine is perfect, done a little warm here and there, but I never had blockages of material etc. The problem lies in the boot process where it lights up but the screen remains black and the HARD drive activity light flashes once, the optical reader clicks like it normally does at the start, and all the normal power supply/battery lights are as they should be, but the laptop will not progress beyond that. The power led remains blue and there is not much activity from the hard drive or any part of the material. This not even the screen of the BIOS at all. At some point, which I suppose because I can't see a pattern emerging in any form, the laptop will emit several beeps and the HDD led starts to blink signifying a boot up is ongoing, but the screen remains blank. At this point, if I turn off the laptop holding the power button / I am sometimes able to start with the display work, but once these things are depend on chance then sometimes it works and sometimes it isn't. Is that a real problem for me because I use this laptop for school and I get sometimes it will feed any or he will, and I'll have to wait a certain amount of time, which could be easily half the class and when he does the beep hard distracted others which is quite annoying.

  Now, I went through a lot of similar topics and tried what was said, but to no avail of course. I tried to delete all the components (RAM, HDD, optical drive, Wifi etc.) and reinstalling them that sometimes only a temporary solution. In the RAM slot I have 800 mhz and 1x1GB 667 mhz-1x2GB, I tried various arrangements with the installed RAM and RAM I have around my house, but I have not yet come to a solution. I find that I can't start up with RAM in just the second slot, I guess it's probably normal, but if it's not please comment and tell me otherwise because I read about another solution to a similar problem a person should use the ram in the second slot to get his laptop to start.

  My suspicion is that it's to do with a kind of BIOS check or maybe a BIOS corrupted, that I could not resolve without a technician because I am already in the current version of the BIOS. I did not update the BIOS that is not. If not then I'll assume that it is just a fault of power on the motherboard circuit. It's a really weird problem because it works quite well after, and I don't think it's a hardware problem perfectly serious because he wouldn't if it was.

  Any help is appreciated on the topic, share your knowledge, if you have had a similar problem because whatever it is would be useful

  Thank you

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that the graphics card can be removed. Maybe you have enough experience with replacement of equipment, but laptop disassembly without maintenance manuals can be risky.
  I really hope you know what you're doing. Maybe you should contact the nearest authorized and ask for help.

  BTW: Where you want to get the new graphics card Satellite A200?

• Satellite A200 does not illuminate

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba satellite a200, it lights, it gives me a black screen and 1 long and 2 short beeps, the only lights that light up are the witness of load and the light of the HARD drive, what's the problem?

  I emptied the power from the motherboard and replaced the RAM.

  Well, usually its nothing unusual for the laptop to do one or two short beeps during the startup process.
  But if the laptop will beep and the system does not have a serious hardware problem may exist.

  I'm afraid there is a problem of serious motherboard and no doubt that replacing the mobo would help you to solve this problem.

• Satellite A200 could not recognize the HARD drive during XP installation

  Hi all
  I need help with my laptop, please...

  My problem is,
  I have a notebook by Satellite A200, and the operating system is Vista, am not satisfied with Vista at all so I bought a Windows XP bootable CD... When I tried to install it it gave me a massage that he could not recognize my hard drive...

  I checked the Web from Toshiba site and downloaded the files from the storage for XP Manager as someone told me it could be the SATA problem and you must apply on your hard disk for XP will see it?

  The question is:
  How much is real?
  How can I install XP on my PC now?
  can I install Storage Manager while I'm on Vista and then install XP?
  I put the Storage Manager on a CD and boot from it?

  am really confused because when I extracted the Storage Manager and view the files I found the setup button and a few other folders, and I do not know what those to use because I don't know what is my hard drive... and any help will be much appreciated

  Thanking you a lot in advance

• Satellite A200 is not charging the battery

  Hello everyone!

  I apologize for my English; It is not the main language.
  Somehow that I can take my Satellite A200 and Assembly are not correctly open the cable (don't know what the cable, apparently the power of the screen), it has been between the keyboard and the top panel, but I forgot and put it between the motherboard and the top panel and... when all assembled and understood that most of the burned... cables precisely burned coil... cord I immediately pulled out but the battery remained in it... in general not very well turned out ;)))

  As a result of what it led to: first is sometimes not visible when you move the keyboard and the touchpad... to eliminate the need to restart the car... then, in principle, sometimes a laptop is not included, i.e. of tanning power of the lamp and all... in this case to remove the worst... and finally, power cable the battery is more responsible... i.e. After all this, I discharge the battery and now the laptop only works on the power cable.

  Question: is the problem of battery or motherboard?

  Your English is hard to understand, but it seems that you disassembled the laptop and some cables connected in the wrong way.
  Then something is charred and now you have some problems with the battery, etc.

  I think that there is a hardware problem, who knows what you did in the past
  The fact is that you did something wrong... it is always a risk if someone without a technician experience disassemble the laptop.

  In your case, I recommend you contact someone who knows how to check the hardware specifications, you need professional help

• Satellite A200 does not boot, no lights all based

  I have a Satellite A200 series and yesterday it stopped automatically and will be without rebooting, wil does not start... no blue ligts... nothing.

  What could be the problem and where should I look?

  The laptop is 17 months old.

  > I have a Satellite A200 series and yesterday it stopped automatically and will be without rebooting, wil does not start... no blue ligts... nothing.

  Do you mean that the laptop has stopped automatically?
  Usually books turns off automatically due to a higher internal temperature
  Maybe this is the reason why laptop computer exploded

  Now, everything may be possible, it may be a RAM, the CPU, the motherboard problem
  It is hard to say what role might malfunction

  I think the laptop technician should check the hardware parts and then you will get a few details on the question

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 with not battery

  Hello

  Hey Buddy

  This is a user to user forum not technicians, there is everything here, and you can always meet the same people like you and me
  If don t be worried about some sarcasm here ;)

  Back to your question, in fact, it looks like a malfunction of the accumulator and in my opinion, you should test another battery, but before you would get in touch with Toshiba ASP, you must check if your BIOS is updated the BIOS should be updated later say I don't very well if this will change anything but it s worth a try m

• Satellite A200-27U not wakes up after hibernation when you open the lid

  I just bought a new Satellite A200 27U which goes a lot so far.
  However, I have configured in hibernation mode when I close the lid.

  I can't resume automatically hibernate when I open the lid.
  I have to press the power button.
  Is this normal, should resume automatically?

  If yes how to do it do?

  It is the same with my Satellite P200 and I think it's normal. It is the same on my second laptop preinstalled WXP.
  Putting into service is not automatically and after you open the laptop I have to press power button / stop too.
  But it is not so problematic. What do you think?

  You use Windows XP Home or Vista edition?

• Satellite A200 is not booting

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer and can't run. The system itself is about a year. I just came in this morning and my laptop was on the second screen when the system is started and now that's going to go.

  When I press on the power button it takes a lot more time then he does usually for the monitor the screen Toshiba (probably about 10 seconds). Then he stay on it for 5 to 10 seconds and then it goes to the next screen where it shows the rights of author and media RXE Roma or other...
  I would really appreciate if someone could provide an overview of this. My computer knowledge is thin so to speak clearly please lol.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Jackson

  Depending on your message, Notepad starts, but the installed operating system does not start
  There may be something with the HARD drive or with the operating system on the disk HARD questions are possible, and that's why I would recommend restoring the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD. You can try to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and could attempt to reinstall the system.

  If this is not possible, the HARD drive is ok and there was just something wrong with the software on the HARD disk.
  But if the new installation of the operating system is not possible, then chances are that your HARD drive is dead and should be replaced.

  Good bye

  Hi michel_91,

  If the drive works properly in Windows, it seems to be related to your startup disk. I put t know which drive you are trying to boot from, but you should try another. Maybe it s scratched or something else in order to test another.
