  Hello
  The laptop is running. And we are justified. I just talked to the man who has done the work to local ghe Geek Squad. He proceeded as follows:

  1 update the Windows operating system (OS to nu xxp) to service pack 3 using available cds which I did have.
  2 went to another computer and downloaded the drivers HP form.
  3 installed the drivers and it went online as a champion.

  Apparently the version of xp was so old that the drivers, I downloaded from HP on another computer and burn it to a cd, simply move in the laptop.

  So, no way we could proceed without saving this service 1 one 3 discs. I had actually tried to download these service packs, but all I could get was service pack 1a .who might also do not install.

  Thanks again. you were right on target, but I couldn't do it.

• Satellite A200-137 - cannot install windows after the hard disk crash

  last week my a200-137 crashed and now I have the new hitachi 500 GB hard drive on it, even before the accident.
  I have install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull installed I have to start windows, it says prepare for first use windows then I have to wait a while and then I get the message that windows setup is not complete. But it is complete!

  After trying to install 3 times with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
  After a few minutes and transering files, I don't get the message no disc found! It is said that there is no hard drive on the laptop!
  But when I start the start menu or the settings menu, I can see the 500 GB Hitachi hard drive!

  So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

  > So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why you can not install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same thing will happen when you replace the HARD with the same or identical.
  This title was the original HARD drive?
  If possible, try to get original Microsoft installation disc and check if the HARD drive will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and boot OS preinstalled.

  Regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that the WXP installation will start properly due to lack of SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.
  Check out this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: sounds from the HARD disk that is not regular

  Dear,

  I bought a new Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 1 week there are, but I have noticed a noise coming from your hard drive that is not regular, whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird, I had Satellite phones precedents and never faced that.
  is this normal in this series of satellites? or damage my hard drive? Although it works very well so far.

  If anyone has an idea about this, please let me know it.

  Appreciate it.

  > Whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird
  Who is normal behavior that the HARD drive makes sounds while working.
  On some disks, the sound is louder and some drives are quieter.

  My laptop comes with a 100 GB HARD drive and I noticed that this HARD drive work harder than the previous 40 GB HARD disk.

  I don t think that there might be a problem with your HARD drive. It of new.
  So, in my opinion you should t be worried.

  and if the HARD drive is going to die your warranty covers the replacement ;)

  If you had created the second partition, E: on your hard drive, do a restore to factory settings would have removed, as everything is erased during a reinstall to factory settings.

• Satellite A300-1MH - cannot start the eSATA external HARD disk drive

  When I connect eSATA disk HARD Satellite A300 is locked and the HARD drive is not detected. I tried to connect the HARD drive with both eSATA - SATA + USB power cable Cable when it is powered OFF with the same locked A300 result.
  Reloading utility chipset change anything.

  PS. on another computer same portable HARD drive works fine in both previous cases
  Thanks for the attention
  Fabio

  AFAIK, the chipset drivers are responsible for the usb, esata functions but you already reinstalled it. Have you tried to remove the chipset drivers in Device Manager and reinstall again? If still does not solve your problem, it may be the operating system itself. Using the preinstalled operating system or Windows disk?

• Satellite A200 PSAE3A - where to find the XP SATA driver

  Hello

  I'm going through many discussions here
  (for example, http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=25749)

  But I can not all drivers referred to work, I lived about three downloads.

  I'm working on an A200 PSAE3A - 07M 007, a teacher who have requested to be downgraded to XP so that school software can work on it.

  I also looked at the Intel site, trying to find out which Chipset Intel is on this laptop, they said to go into the Device Manager, expand System devices and look for the Intel channel, here is what I found:

  Intel (r) 82801 PCI Bridge - 2448
  Intel(r) 82802 Firmware Hub Device
  Intel(r) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 283F
  Intel(r) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 2 - 2841
  Intel(r) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 3 - 2843
  Intel(r) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 4 - 2845
  Intel(r) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 5 - 2847
  Intel(r) ICH8 Family SMBus Controller - 283E
  Mobile Intel (r) PM965 / GM965 / GL960 Express Processor to DRAM Controller - 2A 00

  As you can see, it's hard to tell which is the right one and find the right driver for the drive SATA is painful.

  Anyone here know what I should download to put on my external floppy drive so that when I hit F6 during installation of Xp professional, it will actually fill?

  Help, please!

  I wonder really you were not be able to find it.
  So let this next logical step:

  -Obviously, you have mobile Australian model visit the to THE Toshiba support page and NZ
  -Choose laptop > Satellite A200-(PSAE3A)
  -Follow the list with 52 drivers listed, and in the Middle, you'll find some DCIS XP F6 Install Tool

  I think this is what you need. Check it out!

• Satellite A200 PSAE3: Windows XP Home edition do not recognize the modem and sound card

  Hi all!

  I can't understand what is the problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAE3)... I downloaded all the files on the right of the Toshiba Download Center, updated the BIOS to WXP but XP still not find any sound card or any modem. He isn't finding a device with a "?" question mark on this...

  There are so many different drives, I tried, but no one has changed the situation...
  Anyone has any advice?

  Thanks in advance,

  ciroopi

  Well, I found the solution to the problem! :)

  so, I write these verses down for anyone who might know the same problems:

  as usual, strictly follow the 'Toshiba A200 Installation sequence' found on the TOshiba driver download page.
  as he [I jumped no useful installation programs]

  I advice restart you each time you install a component, in order to have under control the whole Exchange.

  1 Windows XP Service Pack2 (RTM) - of course ;) -.
  [...]
  DirectX V9.0c 5 (SP2)
  Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.4036 6
  [...]
  10 Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)
  11 Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment V1.6.0
  12 Intel ICH8M Chipset utility V8.2.0.1014
  13 Intel VGA driver 6.14.10.4833 965GM

  Note that driver VGA, the ATI we too, was also a difficulty - in fact, I don't know what it would have done - for the AUDIO sound card.
  You may have read in the installation dialog box.

  Moreover, I do not know if you must install the sun java, .NET framework and WMP version that displays the list, versions that are OLDER than the most recent, but just to be sure, download the form versions THAT NET.

  at this point, you should see "unknown PCI device" in the unknown devices in the system control panel.

  14 Realtek ALC268 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5433

  for realtek, I suggest you download the driver from the zip from the realtek download page; Once extracted from the latest version for desktop or a temp directory, I suggest to install before all the patch KB888111 you might find in the \WDM_Rxxx\MSHDQFE.

  then restart.

  for now, you should not see the "unknown PCI device" no more where it was before, but under the "system devices", like her, where you could also end the "Intel PCI Express Root Port", "Pci Bus" and so on [ja? m saying this to you because ja? m Italian aid of XP, and I don't remember the exact English names...].

  Now, install the audio drivers by using the setup.exe that you find in the \WDM_Rxxx directory.
  It should reinstall the kbfix and install the new drivers.

  Reset.

  After the reboot, nothing happens, but...

  .. see the "unknown pci device" menu - here? m not sure the name but the one with the exclamation mark in the 'system devices' - select 'Properties' and then 'driver' and 'update driver'. Let XP find the NOT on the net. tell XP to look for "Video and Audio Controller, game" [you know, the English entry that usually stands for device audio and similar] and he must find a CORRESPONDING driver, which is the "MICROSOFT UAA BUS DRIVER for HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO".
  If XP don't select this driver by itself, you should look for "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\hdaudbus.sys".

  After that, XP automatically detects ALL audio devices and install the correct drivers.
  In addition, it now the entrance to the modem, modem to install the separate driver, that we could find in down in the "list system", like her, on the Toshiba download page.

  So, hope this helps!

  See you soon,.

• Satellite A200 PSAE3A is slow - possible memory upgrade?

  Hello
  I am a real novice with this stuff so please bear with me and my stupid questions.

  I have a Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07M 007. I got no upgrade at all.
  It has only 1 GB of RAM. It's so slow its driving me crazy.

  Cannot afford the new PC. Can I spend it?
  What I have to buy. I'm a little afraid to go to someone right now because they could tell me anything and I would believe it!

  Thank you

  Nice

  Hi mate

  According to the info I found [here | http://www.computerdirect.co.nz/products/NOTTOS429.pdf] the memory of the Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07 M 007 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM.
  This means that you can buy another 1 GB RAM module (1 GB RAM PC2-5300 memory module) in order to improve this device.

  The upgrade is not very difficult.

  But when I use the other mouse it works normally.

• Satellite A200 PSAE3E - no loading and opening at startup Flash cards

  I have a Satellite A200 PSAE3E and noticed recently that Flash cards do not appear now when I move my mouse to the top of the screen pointer.
  I checked that the program is set to start when the laptop is turned on and I looked at the settings for the program and everything seems OK.

  However I can't get them to appear if I double click on the file and start it manually.
  As a temporary solution, I put a shortcut on my desktop to start it.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Start the * msconfig and check if the Toshiba Flash Cards are verified and activated in the Startup tab.
  In addition, you should check if the service that controls the flashcards has been activated.
