  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  This laptop supports a Phoenix BIOS. Am I wrong?

  In this case, these startup options should be available:
  Drive floppy USB, HDD, ODD, Network (LAN), USB memory

  Try to select the USB port and check if you can see the additional Variant.

  Hello

  I checked the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and there is no support for Win7.

  In General, Win7 installation should be possible, but if you find no drivers, tols and utilities it has no sense for me to do.

  By the way: don't forget to create a recovery (DVD or USB) media.

• Is it possible to downgrade Satellite U300 from Vista to XP?

  Is it possible to downgrade a Toshiba Satellite U300 from Vista to XP?
  No matter what guide available on how do?

  I tried to install with a standard XP installation disc, he couldn't even find the drive and refused to start the installation.

  I recently bought this laptop with Vista and was really looking for an XP model avoid all the problems of Vista, but it turns out its almost impossible to find one - have all of Vista.

  I am disgusted with all computer laptop-manufacturers, who are now offering an OS that is not yet ready for the general public, the guard you kicked in the teeth
  and waste your time as m and d, try to find solutions and work around the problems most ridiculous & pointless.

  Virtual PC XP Vista initially seemed to solve a lot of problems, but after a few days, unfortunately, the performance of the virtual machine has deteriorated seriously, I don't know why.

  OK - still happy if someone here can answer the original questions?

  Of course, you can install WXP on U300 and you can do this by using the facilities of Microsoft CD. Is very important to have the Storage Manager. This utility is needed to proceedings WXP facilities for the recognition of the HARD drive. You can save it on the floppy drive and import it using the F6 key at startup of installations of Windows XP Home edition.

  Visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads. There you can find all the drivers of Windows XP Home for U300. at the first checkpoint Installations Instructions document and use this list for installing drivers, tools and utilities. Follow the exact order of installations.

  Hello

  Have you tried to use a MS Windows XP CD?
  You can install Win XP using this disc?

  Just a hint; the needs of P200 a installation of additional SATA drivers this means that the drivers SATA (places in the Intel Storage Manager) must be installed using a USB FDD drive or you could use a software free nLite that would allows allows you to create a new disk Win XP with SATA drivers.

  Hello

  I used the search option and found many threads on the downgrade from Vista to XP on Satellite P200 PSPB0E

  All Toshiba drivers are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Of course, you won't find additional software and programs like WinDVD, etc. insofar as these software are only a part of the Toshiba recovery image and as I guess are not to free them.

  An important note; you need to install XP drivers as mentioned in the installation instructions txt file. This doc is also found on the Toshiba driver page!

  Then you should not get any trouble of installation.

  Best regards and happy new year 2008 :D

• Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys do not work after downgrade to XP

  Hello
  I have a Satellite P200-tn1, PSPBOC.
  I lowered my operating system from Vista to XP.

  Now, I have a driver problem, I installed all the drivers for my computer. I installed all the HotKey utility for my computer as well and I have a question. Some of my FN key functions do not work. The ESC to F5 functions work, but all the functions above are not.
  I'm really looking for the brightness of the display and dimmers keys F6 & F7 to work, if possible, I would also like the button toggle F9 key to work as well, which, from this moment, they do not.

  I was wondering if there is a driver I'm missing and if the driver is there. I took my computer in three computer stores now and no one can understand this. Please help me!

  Thanks Ken.

  Hello

  It seems that your laptop is a Canadian model and as a result, you can download the drivers on Toshiba Canada website:
  http://www.Toshiba.ca

  The problem is that I can't find Windows XP drivers on this Web site. :(
  The only way I know, is that you try the drivers and utility on the European site. Normally, the models are very similar and maybe it works. It s worth a try.

• Can I build at the second disk on Satellite P200-1I4?

  Hello!

  Before all sorry for my bad English. =((

  I have a toshiba SATELLITE P200-1I4 and the question is: can I install a HDD (additional) more. Or there is only one SATA slot in this laptop? Unfortunately for laptop is not close to me now, and I can't remove the back panel and see.
  On the web site of Toshiba, I can't find any information about it.

  More information:
  SATELLITE P200-1I4
  S/N: z7269306k - M/n: PSPB3E-0J601MRU

  Thanks, and I hope that all written above is understandable. =)

  Best thing you can do is to remove the cover for the second HARD drive and see if the HARD drive connector is available.
  If this is not the case, there is no possibility to upgrade the HARD drive.

  Maybe someone on this forum has the same laptop model and can check for you.

• Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

  Hello

  hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

  When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

  It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

  I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

  I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

  Matt

  Hello

  Sounds like the GPU problem.
  But try the graphics card driver update.
  Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

  In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
  Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
  Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

  If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

• Satellite P200-RT2 - need help with recovery

  I made a Boo-Boo and need advice/help to get things fixed.

  My husband has a Satellite P200-RT2 running Win XP 32 bit (included with Vista, but had been upgraded). The battery needs to be replaced, does not load and he made the mistake to disconnect while it was closing, but had not closed completely. Laptop computer would not start even in Safe Mode.

  So, I thought to try to insert a disc Win XP Pro thought, he would work to restart the computer and start again. No, he took over and completely restructured the laptop. If great, now have Win XP Pro on it, but can not load all Toshiba drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site.

  I was not in a position to know if there is a specific order to load the drivers... have been reading and wonder if the BIOS should be the first?

  Needless to say that the Toshiba recovery software went on the P200-RT2, I can't find a separate drive that supposedly it contains, there are only two listed drives, drive C and D (for DVDs).

  Toshiba tells me that Microsoft sells the recovery software, MS told me that Toshiba sells. There are sites online that have the recovery disc for Vista I could buy or download, but I'm not sure on those that are reliable/safe.

  Have to mention that I have a Toshiba laptop latest (L675 - 40 X, Win 7) and have the recovery disc for it.

  Is it possible to use these recovery disks for Toshiba software loaded on the old P200-RT2?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  If I could get the XPPro to work, which would leave as OS... but I don't know where to find the drivers.

  Satellite P200 - RT2 PSPB0C is a Canadian model.
  But the same model was released in Europe under the model number:E PSPB0

  You will find all of the Win XP drivers on the Toshiba UE driver page:

• Satellite P200 - 1 K 9 and performance issue

  I hope IM this ad in the right area...

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P200 - 1 K 9 with the following specifications:

  Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.40 GHz CPU
  3 GB RAM
  32 bit
  Note Windows experience 4.8

  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 map graphic and one
  HD sound card...

  My problem is that since I bought my laptop about 7-8 months ago slowed down the performance. Of course, since then I had filled my hard drive (partition) with the media and understand that this is at the expense of the performance of the system. However, since this grateful I released a lot of disk space. I have 40 GB free on my C: and 90 GB free on my D:. Total, shared capacity is 250 GB (125/125).

  Basically, while being largely ignorant of the technical questions, laptops and technology altogether, the way I noticed the inability of systems to "return" to its original factory running (which, I might add, I was very impressed by) is when it comes to games. Football Manager 2009, for example running very slowly. I had a peek in the Task Manager, because I play the game in a window, and the CPU usage works 100%, although I'm sure the culmination of the individual tasks and Applications is not equivalent to that (maybe there is a program hidden Hogging my CPU speed?). Call of Duty 4, which took place on medium-high graphics settings when the laptop was new, now struggles on the lower graph and the sound settings, without that there is a problem with internet connectivity. In addition, (for reference, I m not not the game breath) Battlefield 2, which is about 3-4 years of age very slowly also works. He ran too extremely fast, on the highest graphics settings when the laptop was brand new.

  Basically, what I want to do, is to return the system to its original performance. It is always too slow when two hard drives were full of games and media. Now, despite the withdrawal of many of them, the system works like a sloth.

  Means I ve done to solve performance problems are: disk defrag, disk clean up, error checking, virus scan (with Kaspersky), scanning of spyware (with PC tools Spyware Doctor), deleted the old files with CCleaner and erased files not deleted with a program called eraser... As well as the release of about 50% of the disk space.

  Add to that, I ve noticed performance was much more when I first turn on the laptop and the sides of it n t had the chance to become hot. I understand what is normal, and he did before when the laptop was new and was operating at optimum performance, but perhaps I have an overheating problem? I'll let you know what is the temperature, but I put just t know.

  I hesitate to return the system to its factory settings and if necessary I'll take to a computer store, if there is something they can do. But in the meantime I d like to listen to any advice on general issues that I face, and possible solutions to my problem.

  Thank you very much.

  The problem with Windows is that it becomes slower and slower that you operate.

  When the devices and programs are installed, they increase the size of the registry, activate the Services, add resident DLLS and drivers, slow down the file system by adding thousands of files. As well, the operating system can get damaged after some time due to the loss of power and software poorly written.
  Even if you use CCleaner and other utilities and uninstall several programs, it is never as fast as a fresh installation of windows. Uninstalling programs rarely remove the program completely 100%.

  The antivirus can have a huge effect on performance, that's why the system runs great when the image of the plant is installed (which has usually no anti-virus).

  So basically if you want the system making a lot once again, you must back up your data and perform the recovery. I myself do it once a year to restore performance.

• Satellite P200 - system crashes when left alone for a short period of time.

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 PSPB6A - 17804M crashes when I haven't touched the keyboard or the mouse, for a period of time.

  The o/s is the version of Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit and specifications for the model are as link. But with a 128 MB ATI HD2600 video.

  Link: [link to the same laptop model: 0127 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOSHIBA-SATELLITE-P200-2.6GHZ-400GB-17.0%22-WX+-200-DVD_W0QQitemZ120369598613QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ2009?] IMSfp = TL090127161001r18426]

  I have updated all the updates Toshiba including the 2.50 bios update.

  Problem
  When left alone for s short period of time, my system crashes, although my mouse moves again. Click anywhere on the screen or by using the keyboard does not seem to get back to work. The only way I can then use my laptop is to do a hard reboot by holding the button power for 5 seconds.

  My system seems to work very well as long as I don't stop using the mouse or the keyboard.
  The time between when I finally used the computer and when it hangs can range from 5 minutes to 10 hours.

  I disabled all the parameters of energy saving, including the video recording without success.

  Can someone help me with this problem?

  Thank you Batty.

• Satellite P200 - disabling Internet special button Close button walk / stop

  I have a Satellite P200. Recently, the problem that my Internet push button itself so multiple Firefox Windows begin to appear at random intervals. Sometimes 2, sometimes it's 30. Needless to say, it's pretty boring.

  I found where I can customize the buttons and make the Internet button open a different program, but it doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off completely. If I "Unregister" the Internet button, then it goes back to the default function of opening a Web browser when it is pushed.

  Is it possible to completely disable these keys?

  Thank you!
  Jason

  Hello

  I have the same model of laptop and disabling option is not known to me. What you can try is to remove the utility of technical support of added value package button.

  In Control Panel, you will find option programs and features. Click to remove the VAP. Generally, it should ask you to change the installation and you can choose which part of this package can be deleted, if it is not completely remove the VAP.

  Download the last option in the download page of Toshiba, but when the facility starts choose custom installation and uncheck the box in front of the technical support of button utility.

  So for now I see it as the only possible solution.
