  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E that came with Vista on it, I reinstalled Win XP Pro installed with relevant drivers download Toshiba page but cannot get working shortcut keys.

  I installed the controls and the driver, but that doesn't seem to work. Saw an ad on "common module" somewhere, but can't seem to find any links to download on the download page.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you very much

  The control utility and driver controls allow you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings. But it is not a FN keys!

  You must install the Hotkey utility if you want to use the FN keys.

  Another tip:
  It is important that all Toshiba drivers and utilities are installed in the correct order.
  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find a txt file called installation instructions.
  Please install all drivers and tools in the order mentioned in this instruction!

• Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1E - can I use the Bios for PSLB9E update

  Hi guys

  PSLB9E Bios Version 2.20

  that is my current version

  PSLB1E Bios Version 1.50

  the question is - what the hardware is the same I'm sure that

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  The question is: why you want to update the BIOS?
  Is there something wrong?

  As you know, the BIOS update is a sensitive technique.
  My laptop works with old BIOS and I did not upgrade to update even if the new version has been released I didn't update because my camera is ok.

  However, it seems that the two series are similar, but I think there are still some minor differences besides the BIOS update should not continues if the wrong version would be selected

• Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

  I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

  With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

  My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

  Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
  I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

  If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

  I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hey Yossi

  I think you have misunderstood something!

  You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

  Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

  So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
  This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

  Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

  but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
  That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

• Satellite Pro L300 - can I use the recovery disc back Vista?

  On my computer I am dual boot Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
  Could get rid of Vista and then later could use the recoevery drive to recover vista?

  PS I know it erases the entire hard drive

  Hello

  Of course, you can use the Toshiba Recovery disk to go back to Vista. It contains a picture of the factory settings and this means that the Vista preinstalled with all the drivers and tools.

  But note that the recovery disc erase the drive HARD integer for you should backup your data first before using the recovery disk.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A200: Do I need all the drivers for Toshiba

  Hi readers,

  Just recently discovered these new drivers for most issued in December 2007. I bought a satellite Pro A200 in Nov, where 32 + BIOS updates for this laptop

  I'm going abroad in 15 days with the laptop. Do you think that its really necessary to install all these new drivers until I go?

  I spent some time to uninstall trial applications. which have now expired. Installed a new firewall ZA & Avast AV. , and Office 2003

  S comment will be taken and review the status etc.

  Cordially deejaydee

  I have the Satellite A200 and I updated added package only. Other stuff should not be updated.

  With the new flash version maps run a lot faster and you can use them much better than before. If you want to download the same version, remove preinstalled system and at least to install the latest version.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7: Where to find the driver for Win XP ATI

  Hello

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7, I bought and it is with Vista on early. I decided to upgrade (/ downgrade) it to XP, but there is problem with the driver for graphics (Radeon HD 2600 Series).

  I can't find anywhere ati drivers (in fact I found it on the site ati.amd.com, but on this forum that I read that Toshiba drivers are changed so that the Radeon is overheating) and I am wonderig if Vista that works under XP (I downloaded all the drivers but ati one)?

  .. and is possible to downgrade my Vista to XP Pro through Miscrosoft website (or something like that) or do I have to reinstall using my old copy (provided with the old Toshiba)?

  PS.
  Sory for my English

  PS2.
  Is it so important to install the drivers in good condition?

  What do you mean by; There is a problem with the driver ATI XO?

  The European driver Toshiba page provides all the necessary XP drivers and tools.
  The ATI GPU driver came out too!

  An important note; If you want to install XP on this Vista machine, you must update the BIOS to the XP compatible version!

  Regarding your question about the downgrade from Vista to XP Pro via Microsoft site;

  Short answer; No this is not possible!

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - no activity - nothing on the screen

  Hello!

  I have a lot of problems with the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200.
  Same problem for all: when you connect the power adapter led turns blue!
  When I press on "on" button the second led turns blue, the fan runs for a while, but there is not activity: nothing on the screen.
  No thing hard disk led...

  I have a lot of this problem with the Satellite A200. The motherboard is a LA - 3481P.
  I am an electronic engineer and I m specialized in laptop repair card main but I did not understand this problem.

  Can U help me telling me that maybe the defective chip?
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I don't know if you saw that this forum is the forum of users and you should not wonder if nobody can give the exact answer. As an electronic engineer, you must know that no one can answer specifically and to find the good chip, you must run diagnostic tool.

  So I think that you need professional help. Try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  BTW: I am really interested about new comments here.

• Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

  Hi all

  I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

  I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

  My questions:
  * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
  * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

  Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

  Thank you.

  Hans

  Hello

  I agree with Luke.
  The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
  Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

  But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

  You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
  As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

• Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

  Hello

  I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.
  
  I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

  Thanks for any help.

  The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

  Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

  Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

  It makes you, thank you.
