Satellite A200 PSAE6E: no HARD drive during the installation of XP

Hi Vandeven,

I have the same laptop that you are, but I have difficulty to get Windows XP to recognize the hard drive.
It keep saying there is no hard drive detected.

I don't have a floppy drive either.

Is there another way to install Windows XP without the SATA Driver?
My bios is 2.10 and I can switch to a different bios it wont let me. Keep saying bad Bios!. But isn't.

Please help as I am sick and I tried Windows Vista...
Programs slow and inconsistent.

Thank you much in advance.

Why you n t use the forum advanced search option and search for similar topics?

Installing driver SATA doesn't concern only the A200 series.
On most new notebook Series SATA, driver installation is necessary.

In any case if you want to use the search option, then you would find this Toshiba document:

    Hello

    The nLite is a freeware program that helps you to integrate the SATA (Intel matrix Storage Manager) driver in the original XP operating system.

    If you want to know how to use nLite software, then glasses a bit.
    There are many websites that explain how to use nLite.

    (Driver SATA) Intel Storage Manager can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    Last month, I created a new XP CD using the nLite.
    I've included a few pilots, SP2 and some patches it of really not very difficult.

    As I said... Scope of protection is a key ;)

  • No visible hard drive during the installation of Windows 8 during the transmission phase of gathering primary.

    Hello

    I recently bought an Alienware m18X R2, and I wanted to install windows 8 (new installation) on this subject. I go through the ordinary procedure and boot from disk or during the time to choose the main drive for the installation. None of the drives are visible (error. no driver drive drive-impossible to find discs), this is the same error that occurred when I resorted to a regular update. Kindly advice. I have 2 drive HARD 500 GB in RAID 0, and a 64 GB SSD to set caching.

  • Satellite Pro U300: Cannot see the HARD drive during the installation of XP

    Due to the restrictions of the network must downgrade the operating system on a new satellite Pro U300. I am unable to run the XP + sp2 cd as it says there is no hard drive installed on the machine. I guess it's because I need 3 scsi drivers or third-party raid.

    Does anyone have these or know a place where I can get my hands on them? Or am I completely off the mark that you have another solution?

    Hello

    You need the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility for the management of your local storage, including the RAID support.

    On the European driver Toshiba page I found Robson tea for Vista package which includes the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility.

    The same can be downloaded from the Intel page for the XP operating system.

    I found this on the page of Intel:

  • copy to hard drive during the installation of Encarta 2001 WA stops working after the folder has been created on HD

    Encarta World Atlas 2001

    Hello pledliec,

    I didn't know that encarta World Atlas 2001 listed in the Windows Vista Compatibility Center. So it probally is not compatible with Windows Vista.
    You might see if the compatibility mode to operate.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    Run the program compatibility Wizard

    1. Open the program compatibility Wizard by clicking the start, clicking Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clickingUse an older program with this version of Windows.

    2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the icon of the program, clickProperties and then click the Compatibility tab.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    I found a strange question here...

    Then we try to install a virtual machine with Windows 2003.

    The installation cannot continue because the virtual machine cannot detect the disk (virtual disk).

    Are we have to use specific drivers (as the old way install Windows Server 2003 on the physical, press F6, and then insert the drivers for drivers, etc2)

    Please advice...

    I have attached the error and the configuration of the VM

    For Windows 2003, the default controller is the parallel of LSI Logic. For this one, the drivers are already included in Windows 2003.

  • Satellite A200-1NH-AHCI/SATA300/ChipSet and the Installation of Windows 7

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba A200-1NH.
    Model: PSAE3E-03K01DDU.

    Because the hard drive has failed I replaced it with a new one.
    Model: WD3200BPVT.
    It is the ATA/300 and 320 GB.

    My goal is to install Windows 7. I started with the disks of origin comes with the laptop to install Vista and intended to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 later.

    Start with the original installation disc leads me to the first boot of Windows and then the system says "Windows cannot configure your computer's hardware. She's.

    I did some research and discovered that she could have something to do with the Chipset drivers.
    It is not possible to add drivers during the installation by using the original recovery disk. That's why I tried an install of Windows 7 and adding the AHCI ICH8M drivers during installation.

    Windows 7 installation cannot use the drive, any driver chipset I have add during installation, it does not change a thing.

    To revert to the original installation disc provided with the laptop, formatted the disk, absolute 0 partitions on it, restarted with disk, create partitions, copy of the data from windows and once again, the message:
    "Windows cannot configure the hardware in your computer.

    I have not tried to update the BIOS, did not and manual for it that does not use Windows Update the BIOS.
    I have not tried another disc. I connect this drive on my Mac and ran diagnostics, that's fine.
    I have not tried all the AHCI drivers, I found, there are hundeds, it is unclear which I should use.

    You guys give me advice?

    [EDIT]
    New version of BIOS found, cannot use it.
    To install Windows, I need to update the BIOS, to update the BIOS... I need Windows.

    > Windows 7 installation cannot use the drive, any driver chipset I have add during installation, it does not change a thing.

    To my knowledge, Windows 7 already contains the SATA/AHCI driver that's why it should not be necessary to add the SATA driver during the installation of Win 7. Had driver for Win XP or Vista installation only.

    This is why I would recommend checking another HARD drive and boot from the original disc of Microsoft Win 7.

    By the way: the European Toshiba driver page provides the Intel Storage Manager (this package contains the SATA drivers) just to Win XP and Vista so my assumption should be correct that Win 7 doesn't have the SATA driver to recognize the HARD drive during the installation procedure.

    original title: installation of Windows 7

    Hey Joe,

    I suggest that you visit the gigabyte website for your region (and/or the site global http://www.gigabyte.com/?f=g ) and check your motherboard for compatibility with Windows 7.

    The problem you are experiencing would imply that Windows 7 has no native driver support for your disk controller, so if Gigabyte don't have drivers that you are locked unless you buy a discreet disk controller that is compatible Windows 7.

    Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

    On the other hand, you have this posted in a forum of Windows XP when it is really a problem of Windows 7.

  • T420: H310 PERC Setup driver during the installation of Windows 2008 R2 SP1

    Hello

    I try to install the SP1 of Windows 2008 R1 on T420. However, it does not detect the disk and asks me to load the Setup disk.

    Now, I downloaded the driver from: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=1HHG8&fileId=3389750350&osCode=WS8R2&productCode=poweredge-t420&languageCode=EN&categoryId=SF

    Put it on a key USB and then the wizard to detect the USB but then he said: 'no signed device drivers were found.

    Reading carefully above the driver download page, they mentioned the installation instructions, it is shown how to load the driver during installation.

    HOWEVER, the real problem lies here. These instructions are for a '. '. ZIP format"driver. Considering that, they provide only ".". EXE format"from the driver to download.

    So, regardless of teaching the highest page download driver to load the driver during the installation does not work.

    And I could not find where to download the '. '. ZIP format' driver.

    Could you help me please. What I'm missing here?

    Thank you.

  • Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

    I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
    I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

    Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
    Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

    So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  • Satellite A200 UH1 - 2nd hard drive Bay

    Hi all!

    Could someone explain me how to connect a second HDD in secondary housing of this laptop?

    I opened the cover, but there is no plug or the connector to install a.

    What I see, seems I have to buy a few extra parts, but I have no idea what.
    The manual is saying that he has this Bay (so it is usable as Toshiba worth to write his presence in the manual).

    Can someone help me?

    I really wish for reason practical for a keg external HDD will reduce the autonomy of the laptop when it is on battery.

    Thank you!!!

    If you want to connect a second disk of this machine slot that there must be a connector and if you don t have a t, you can put in a second HDD.
    Not every Satellite A200 has such connector.
    On the second HARD drive Bay, I founded the following information in the user manual:
    > HDD2: the availability of this functionality depends on the model you have purchased

    But you can use a second HDD in the slot of the CD/DVD drive. For this you can use a Bay for a second HDD.
    Ask an ASP for this part. They can order.
