Satellite A200 PSAE3E - how to install Win XP

Hello

I have a Toshiba A200 / PSAE3 - E.
It came with vista home pre installed.
I lost the recovery CD of vista and had problems with windows and therefore now load XP.

I understand the 2 options that I can use to install XP on a SATA drive, however the two options help me much.

# I see not all SATA settings in my BIOS (BIOS V5.6 / Phoenix TrustedCore). I played with most of the options, but still get a message "Setup has not found any hard drive" at the start of the installation of XP.

# I was told to get an external floppy drive and download the SATA drivers. I did and downloaded "Intel Matrix Storage Manager - 7.5.0.1017", where I found a directory in there like 'F6flpy '. This directory contains 4 directories (ICH7M_32bit, ICH7M_64bit, ICH8M_32bit & ICH8M_64bit). I copied each one contained in 4 different disks. I thought "ICH7M_32bit" will work and it gave me the option to install the diving (Intel 82801GMB SATA AHCI Controller / Mobile ICH7M/DH) and I could even partition the disk after pressing F8 on the XP installation program.

More I was also able to format the drive, but immediately after the message "in I get a message 'Insert the disk labeled Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver in drive A. press ENTER when ready'." I keep on pressing on enter, but the system even dose not attempt to read drive A (possibly the USB is disabled at this point?)

Please let me know if anyone has a solution for me to upgrade the BIOS or download recovery DVDs full or run XP Setup another way.

Kind regards

This notification appeared because you formatted the partition or HARD drive where the SATA drivers were stored. The operating system therefore ask again for the SATA drivers.
The point is that you shouldn't t format the HARD drive after than SATA drivers have been installed.

But why you don t use the nLite. It s free tool that allows you to include files in Win XP disk SATA
So you should be able to format the HARD drive because the SATA drivers are placed on the Win XP disc ;)

    Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
    My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

    You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

    The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
    How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

    2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

    See you soon

    > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
    Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
    You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

    But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

    With regard to the sound:
    As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
    But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
    I recommend to test

    I think I know what might be useful for your problems of WLan boring;

    -Update the BIOS
    -WLan driver update.

    Yes, these two parts of the software must be updated to make sure that the WLan would work properly.

    One of my friends had the similar problem of WLan; He solved update driver WLan.

    After the update of the Wlan signal driver WiFi was much stronger as with the previous version of the Wlan driver.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE3E - cannot install the ATI graphics driver

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite A200 PSAE3E and on Vista, it tells me that my display driver is not updated (generic), even when I installed Toshiba Tempro it came.

    So I downloaded the driver and will not install ATI Catalyst, in the installation process it stops and tells me that it could not detect the compatible hardware.
    If someone knows a solution to this answer please problem.

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know if you have already tried to reinstall the operating system on this laptop.
    I want to say that these two issues could be related to software problems

    The windows OS should receive and install Microsoft update without worries, and if this is not possible a software problem is possible.

    I put t know if some important system files are confusing upward or if a register issues causes bother but I m sure that Vista should receive patches and updates correctly after reinstalling again.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to test this! Before you start the recovery procedure to backup your important data!

    This problem can be solved very easily install the right driver SATA ;)

    Yes, you must install a SATA driver to recognize the SATA HDD!

    I did, is that your Win XP doesn't do not contains the latest SATA drivers that are necessary and important install the Windows operating system.

    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers for two different chipsets.
    Visit the European driver from Toshiba or Intel page and download the Storage Manager!

    You will need an external USB FDD drive to include this SATA driver in the installation of Win XP.
    Maybe you remember that Setup during the installation process of Win XP Win XP request by pressing the F6 key to install a 3rd party SATA drivers.
    You must connect the external floppy drive, and then you could install such SATA driver.

    But perhaps the problem is the USB FDD drive.
    To be honest I n t have such external floppy drive unit and so I had to include the SATA driver using another solution.

    I used the * program nLite. It s for free and may be required from the internet. Google simply.
    You can use this application to create a new XP CD with SATA driver. Then you could start from this new CD to install XP on your machine.

    I did and I managed

    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 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.

    -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

  • 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,.

    This means that you can buy another 1 GB RAM module (1 GB RAM PC2-5300 memory module) in order to improve this device.
