Satellite Pro A200 - HDD recognised by the BIOS but not in the startup list

Hello

After some problems with the virus of my laptop is not able to start more. How reset BIOS ignores the boot from the HARD drive and try to start either from CD or network. The HARD drive is recognized by the BIOS (it appears as 1 hard drive in the home page). In the selection screen startup list preferences appear only floppy drive, CD/DVD and network.

The hard drive can be mounted and browsed without any problem of windows or Linux. I tried to install both systems and the installation always succeeds but when rebooting the system is not able to boot from the hard drive.

I guess it's a BIOS problem, but I'm not sure about this. What do you think?

By the way how do I update the BIOS without having neither windows nor floppy drive?

Thanks in advance

Hi mate,

I m a bit confused now as a first step, you wrote that the computer can boot from the HARD drive, but then you t wrote you browse the HDD with Windows and Linux

I'm not sure this is the problem of this but I recommend to load the default settings in the BIOS.

If your HARD drive doesn t work could be defective (bad sectors or something else). You could test with special diagnostics as Drive Fitness Test Tools. It s a freeware tool so you can find it using Google.

By the way: have you tried to install Windows with the Toshiba Recovery disk?

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

    Hello
    I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

    My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
    I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

    If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  • Satellite Pro A200 cannot connect to the wireless network

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 and Tuesday night I was able to connect to a wireless network. I received an update, rebooted and now it doesn t seem to work.

    I can see the wireless networks available via the Toshiba Radar but cannot connect to my usual wireless network.
    Also, the wireless network icon disappeared from my system tray and if I go to Control Panel/network connections, I can't even view available networks because there is no option to do so.

    Any ideas?
    the FN/F8 will work?
    Help! Please, I beg you!

    Have you tried using System Restore and restore the operating system on time earlier?
    Maybe this will remove the update installed, and you can again use the WLAN.

    _Satellite pro A200-PSAE4E Windows XP_

    I started having bad 'not ready' system on the STRANGE original errors. Report of Toshiba Disc Creator: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H TO01. I tried the FW update, but that did not help.

    I replaced the STRANGE with a new Amazon. Report of Toshiba Disc Creator: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H SC04. The STRANGE news is listed as appropriate in the manual - it is the same model as the original. The STRANGE new works fine for normal use in XP. But when I try to use the recovery disk, it is ignored and XP always starts on the HARD drive. And when I press F12 during startup, the STRANGE news is not listed.

    Can you help me get the STRANGE recognized at boot time, please?

    I can provide a possible solution that has worked for many others:

    Go to Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.
    Then start the registry (regedit) and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
