• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  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

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work

• Re: Satellite A200: Question about the Windows Vista serial key

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 and I doubt, in everest, I can see the key of Windows Vista, but it's different to the Windows key in the tile to the bottom of the laptop.
  I change anything in the laptop because I bought, I have use once the recovery cd, but I have not a pirate key or something like that.

  Why this different key?

  I agree with the user above.
  The serial key you will find at the bottom of the device is not similar to the serial key that can be read using a few 3rd party applications!

  But you don t need such series on your Toshiba laptop key.
  The restore CD contains an image of Toshiba which is already activated!

• Satellite A200 - how to get Vista back?

  Hi all

  Recently I bought used Satellite A200. The person who used it removed Vista and it seems, he removed also hidden HARD drive partition, I need. The only thing I have is the key product vista Home premium on the back side.

  Is it possible to go back to vista? Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Why must you the hidden HARD drive partition? If Windows is deleted, the hidden HARD drive partition will not help you. It's just a feature of Microsoft for the Windows recovery environment and t can restore windows.

  In any case, I think you need Toshiba Recovery disk to restore the version preinstalled Windows.

  I put t know what Satellite A200 you have exactly, but no more, you can order a recovery disc [here | https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] or ask a [certified maintainer | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/].

• Satellite A200 - 10 X: how to HARD drive partitioning

  Hi there guys!

  I have a pro with my satellite A200 - 10 X, there is only one volume of HARD drive and I want to do both... and everytime I use the product recovery CD, it formats the HARD drive... but I don't know how to partition the drive HARD two get volume two spaces...

  and what is worse than when I continue to do it that he eats again and again the free space of HARD drive... so how can I partition the HARD drive and recover space 200 GB the computer initially?

  I appreciate your help...
  thanx

  Hello

  If you use the Vista operating system, you can partition the HARD drive running Vista.
  Just go to disk management. You can find in the control panel-> tools of Government (or something like that).

  In disk management, you can shrink the first partition C.
  On the free space of HARD drive, you will be able to create a new partition.
  I think you should see this option if you right-click on the partition.

  This procedure is very simple and I already did on my Vista computer.

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 - how to replace Vista with XP?

  I received a Satellite A200, because the owner was heartily sick of Windows Vista which came installed on it. Everything I have heard talk about Vista convinces me that I don't want to have anything to do with it. In addition to my wife - who will use the computer, serves to XP and wants to continue to use it.

  After a day and a half looking for instructions on how to get the A200 to boot from a CD on which SATA drivers required as well as the files of XP installation disc was compiled AND burn 4 CD, I can't always get things working!

  Please... surely someone in the Toshiba Land has successfully dealt with this problem before! Guess I'll try tomorrow, but some help would be appreciated of course.

  Hi spktrm,.

  Yes, you re right and you must integrate the SATA drivers in the XP installation disc. Therefore, you will need to download the Intel Storage Manager driver package that contains this SATA driver you need. Here in the forum there is already an article interesting how to proceed:
  [How to integrate the AHCI SATA driver during the installation of Windows XP? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=38]

  Alternative you can install XP without this driver if you change the HARD drive in the BIOS from AHCI Compatible. Then, you use the normal Microsoft Windows XP disk. ;)

• Satellite A200-28R - new 500 GB HARD drive not recognized

  Hi all!

  The BIOS cannot recognize my new 500 GB SATA HARD drive. When I connect it to the laptop, BIOS says "No device" in the drive options. Tried jumper allows you to change the interface of disc HARD SATA-1, but without effect.
  How can I force the BIOS to recognize?

  Toshiba Satellite A200-28R
  BIOS version: Phoenix v.2.60 for Vista
  HARD drive: Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA

  BTW: my old 250 GB HDD works fine

  Hello

  Have you tried the drive in another computer?

  Maybe your new drive HARD isn t working properly or defective so use another rnotebook to test it or request a replacement HARD drive.

• Satellite A200-193 - installing an extra HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200-193 and I would like to install one additional go 160 HARD drive into the free location.
  The problem is that there is no SATA connector to this place (switch on the motherboard, not more).
  I know there are computer A200 laptop with a second HDD and my question is "if I go into an official TOSHIBA Service Center, it is possible to install a SATA connector in this free site, this is to allow the installation of additional HARD drive?

  If someone could help me on this point, it would be great.

  Thank you.

  Hi Mathieu

  I see that you are a bit confused ;)
  As you known t n, there are probably different Satellite A200 series a series helps the second HARD drive upgrade and some A200 series cannot be upgraded
  But the A200 series was equipped with the same laptop covers

  This means that you will find the second drive HARD on all mobile A200 Bay but the drive HARD (SATA) connectors don t exist on each series.
  It seems that your laptop cannot be upgraded with the second HARD disk because of the second missing HARD drive interface.

  I hope I can clarify this confusing question ;)

  Good bye

  Hey,.

  As far as I know for notebooks, it s not possible to order an online Toshiba Recovery disk.

  For older computers, you will need to order a disk at an authorized service provider. List of them which you can find here:

• Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

  So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

  But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

  The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
  But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

  The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - 1 K 8 PSAE0E needs driver for ethernet controller

  Hello

  I bought the above specified A200 and had with Vista. I'm on Windows XP SP2 home edition on it because Vista was dealing well with my audio production programs.
  As Toshiba did not provide a cd of drivers for this laptop I had to find my way on the net. a lot of time but succesfull except one: the Ethernet controller driver.

  Please direct me to it so you can remove yellow questionmark in my device manager (and use my ISDN connection on the machine) or please give some advice on this device so that I can google it. right now I can't find any info abt this EC device.

  I tried to install the battery-BT but installation to halfway there is a request to spend on something that is not om my computer, maybe it's the companions, stll not sure.

  And of course I know that toshiba here for the drivers. There, I had a few other drivers.

  It's almost as if the Ethernet controller on my labtop does not work for Windows XP Home edition, so there is no driver.
  I hope I'm wrong.

  Hello

  This download page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (Support & downloads), you already know, I found the drivers wireless LAN, lan and modem devices. Can hardly imagine that these drivers do not work.

  Another question is, how do you connect your laptop with ISDN? Normally, you use an ISDN card to do this work.
  Have you tried hardware analysis such as everest programs? Useful tool for finding specific information of material.

  I'm sure there must be a driver of your computer ethernet controller, as I have already referred to the Support & downloads page.
