Satellite A200 - PSAE6 U27 - cannot install Win XP - No HDD

Information for us:
I have Toshiba Satellite A200 - U27 (PSAE6) with Vista 32 bit

HELO, I need help!

What should I do with my Vista?
I'm not entirely remove this system and install XP Profesional, but I can't because I when I try to install XP pops up the window with this information "you don't have a HARD drive or you do not have power supply on the HARD drive"

It is impossible, because I can't turn on my laptop with Vista every day.

Perhaps is - this error connect disk sata HARD... driver or bios driver?

I n ' know if I think that good. Please help me...

  • Satellite A200 PSAE6E: Impossible to install the audio drivers after installing Win XP realtek

    Hello...

    Recently, I repartitioned my laptop HD to install XP and kubuntu (it came with vista)... However, I was not able to install audio drivers for its audio devices...

    The laptop is a toshiba Satellite A200-PSAE6E and everest indicates the following audio controllers:

    ATI hd 2xxx hdmi @ ati radeon hd 2600 - controller high definition audio
    Realtek alc268 @ intel 82801hbm ich8m - audio controller high definition

    First I tried to download the audio drivers high definition realtek web site (32-bit version of windows xp). I tried to run the installation, manually navigating to WDM file during the installation of the pilot and navigation manually the folders where the drivers have been copied during the installation under c:\windows\system32\... all to nothing done...

    Then I tried to download drivers toshiba official of the support web site of europe from toshiba for the realtek chip... I've lived the same behavior (both when you run the Setup program and install manually force pilots)

    Then I tried to download the drivers for ATI HDMI audio device from realtek website... with the same results...

    Windows tells me that it was impossible to find a driver in the any of the archives...

    The only thing that could be the culprit because as far as I can tell, is that I installed service pack 3 RC2...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Tasos

    P.S. I've tried the two automatic installation through specification of a folder and choose the options "I will manually choose a driver from the list" in the hardware installation wizard... the result is always the same... Note that the audio works perfectly under ubuntu...

    P.S.2 IMPORTANT! I recently discovered that toshiba offers bios versions for the A200 PSAE6E depending on if it is equipped with windows xp or vista...

    This refers to which the operating system has been installed when the system was purchased, or the operating system that is currently used? Can I upgrade the Bios of my laptop with the XP version or this break from things?

    Hello

    Regarding the sound issue.
    A lot of people already asked for it here on the forum and my knowledge the driver sound doesn't work because that some Member States the fixes and patches are missing.

    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?MessageID=113124

    You will need to install KB888111 and KB835221 hotfix

    With regard to the BIOS;
    Yes, some series of laptops needs a version of XP BIOS if you want to install and use the XP on the laptop. AFAIK the A200 is one of these series of laptops.

    ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS HARD DRIV IS GOOSED, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE SO EASILY CORRECTED.

    Hi mate

    I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
    Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
    Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
    Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

    PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk

  • 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 ;)

  • Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need assistance with Windows.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
    I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

    So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
    I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
    Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

    Thank you for your help
    Julie

    As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
    I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

    To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

    When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 PS460E - cannot install Win XP

    Since there are 2 variants of numbers on this laptop, am confused abit as forums to post on, appologise if I am wrong again.

    Am pretty much run out of idea what could be the problem, so in a last effort to try to solve this problem, I thought to post it here.

    I have a Toshiba SP4600 series (model PS460E), I went to format and reinstall a fresh XP install, it has now got a new 60gig IDE HARD drive, currently only 128meg ram, as it is not easy to find, and I did not belive he can handle a lot of anways.

    To start the automatic windows boot from the CD-ROM drive, it crosses all pretty fine, you see all the options of drivers loading etc. at the bottom of the screen. He then came to the "Setup starts Windows' and just hangs, does not move, do not disable, does nothing, just stay on that screen and nothing else, the CD-Rom and HARD drive seem to just stop as well.

    The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.

    I used a large number of diagnostic tools, to test the memory, hard drive, card mother/etc, the only one who crashed out bombed was a stress test version that starts ok, then 15 minutes crashses, so not sure it would be.

    No idea how to fix this?

    as am enough out of all atm ideas :/

    > The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.
    Did the same problem occurs using the old 20 GB HARD drive?
    If the same thing happened with the smaller HARD drive so I guess that this problem is NOT related to a HARD disk, but in another part

    Eventually he s a RAM who knows
    In many cases the RAM can be the problem when the laptop do not answer...

    What temperature?
    Have you noticed a temperature higher coming or warm air from the vents?
    The laptop seems to be old, maybe the cooling modules are dirty and cannot cool the processor properly?
    In such cases, it s advisable to clean the fan using a jet of compressed air

    In any case, I think you should also test the laptop with other RAM modules

  • Satellite NB10-A-104 - cannot install Win 7 64 bit

    Hi all

    I can't install Windows 7 pro 64-bit original, on my laptop,
    probably the bios does not make me the boot on exsternal burner... the bios is version 1.00 and the hard drive is new...

    what I can do...
    Thank you very much

    If you want to boot from an external source (other then the internal HARD disk), you need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

    But as far as I know the BIOS supports boot devices: USB FDD, primary HARD disk, USB memory and network (LAN)

    Thanks for help.

    Hello

    You was not able to install the Windows operating system because you have not installed the SATA drivers that are needed to recognize the new SATA HDD controller.
    The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

    You can build an own Windows disc using nLite software and might include drivers SATA on this CD.

    I recommend research and read the forum discussions related this topic.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE6E: unknown devices after installing XP

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAE6E and it came with Vista.
    Now I downgraded to XP my self and installed all the drivers I could find on the toshiba site
    I still have these problems:

    1. I have a pci memory controller which is not identiyfied by windows and I want to solve that

    2. when I connect my video camera pit 4 pin firewire to my laptop not found and when I do it by USB ieee1394, I get the usb device not recognized (trieed download of drivers for the cam, but they do not work)

    Please help me :)

    thnx

    Hello

    Regarding the point * 1: *.
    The "PCI memory controller" or "Mass Storage Controller means the former Turbo Memory module Robson." This feature is only available on Vista, and that's why drivers are not available for Win XP.

    Check this box:
    [No driver Windows XP for PCI memory controller | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB83023N0000R01.htm]

    (* 2) * I put t know how it works with your camera, but I need to first install the cam drivers then I connected the camera to the laptop with a FireWire / USB 2.0 and then I turned on the video camera.
    My A200 she recognized immediately.

  • Need help with installing Windows XP on Satellite A200 PSAE6

    I have labtop Satellite A200 (PSAE6)

    I wwant to install Win Xp, but it shows the BSOD error. Check this image. This error on my labtop:

    http://www6.0ZZ0.com/2008/02/11/11/343785725.gif

    Help!

    Well, the BSOD is a serious problem, but I think that it could be solved easily.

    You must update the BIOS to version XP!
    At the moment European Toshiba page pilot provides a v.5.30 - WIN XP BIOS.

    Then, you must include the storage for the XP installation manager because this SATA driver is required to recognize the HARD drive. Without the SATA driver (Intel Storage Manager) the XP will not see the HARD drive!

    Good luck

    Can tell me what is different or that which is wrong with my toshiba?

    Maybe you didn't activate the card wireless network properly or maybe the wireless computer card laptop doesn't support the same WLan standard in the iPhone.

  • Satellite A200 (PSAE6) - RAM on Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

    I have a Satellite A200 (PSAE6) and I wanted to put more 2 GB of RAM, but tell me the Windows 7 Ultimate 32 recognizes only 1 GB means a total of 3 GB.

    Is this true?

    Hello

    Usually the OS 32-bit Windows recognizes ONLY 3.2 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
    Therefore, you cannot use 4 GB of RAM with Windows OS 32-bit (Win XP, Vista, Win 7).

    But the upgrade to 4 GB RAM also depends on the chipset and BIOS.
    If both parties (BIOS and chipset) are not 4 GB RAM capable then you would not be able to use 4 GB of RAM, even using the 64 bit OS.
