• XP installation LAUGH on 32 Satellite Pro A200 laptop via computer

  Hello

  Can anyone help? I try to install 32 laptops (Satellite Pro A200) through Services of Installation Windows 2003 Server remotely. I had problems with network cards and now have these working by adding pilots in a $OEM$, $1, drivers, network card and record the thought that it might be easy to use the same solution to install the drivers for the SATA controller. How wrong could I be! I'm now pulling my hair out. The machines have the drivers installed in the same way ($ $OEM$ etc.) in a directory marked sata. I used the drivers from the Intel - extracts on floppy disk and copied from there site. Whenever I try to recreate the image, I get the same error "Windows does not detect hard drives" and it drives me crazy! I edited risstnrd.sif, textsetup.oem etc etc nothing works.

  I found a link on the German Toshiba site to download the drivers in this situation, but the link is quite slow, I tried to download these drivers now three different places (3 different accounts of ADSL) and each begins at about 36 k per second then decreases until bytes per second and then fails. (It's only a 21 MB file!)

  If someone managed to deploy these laptops via RIS? If so can you please let me know how you got it done and what drivers you used?

  Thank you very much

  Hello Mark

  I think LAUGH installation complicated theme and I'm really skeptical anyone will be able to help you. If you have time, try using the advanced search and check the RIS results as search terms.

  Otherwise, you can create your own recovery DVDs and use it for the installation of the OS. For the recovery procedure, you need 20 minutes.

• Satellite Pro A200 - Supervisor Password Setup Utility fails

  Hello

  I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a license to retail for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition (with SP1) is installed.

  Before installing Vista, I have updated the BIOS to the latest version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
  BIOS version is now 2.20 - WIN32

  After the installation of the operating system, I started to install different drivers and utilities to download them from the Toshiba site.

  When I try to install the "utility supervisor password" Setup fails with a box of message that says "serial number is not valid.
  Same problem with a different Installer: "utility of Support Flash Cards.

  Someone knows how to solve this problem and what serial number is not valid?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello Hana

  If someone has to take care of the warning, it's Microsoft. They offer something new and they know with certainty that he could have different negative influence on the operating system running well.

  Toshiba may just try to react and change has tools and utilities, but it's not easy. you will see that soon or later Toshiba will offer updates for all non-working stuff. The same is with WXP SP2.

• Satellite Pro A200 - failed to retrieve deaths

  Hello

  My daughter has a Satellite Pro A200 which appears to be dead, she should try to get a new one!

  When I try to boot from the HDD Recovery repair Windows I get the message "the installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer. »

  I also tried to boot from the CD/DVD drive with the disk and computer repair recovery, how I get - a black screen with mouse cursor leading to the same message as to the approach of HARD drive recovery

  Given both fail this probable failure of HARD drive (I had a similar problem with my Dell wife to start up which is HARD drive failure)?

  Thank you

  Obviously, something is wrong with the preinstalled operating system and that you need to do is to install the operating system using Toshiba recovery image.

  First enter the BIOS settings and be sure the HARD drive is recognized correctly.
  Set the BIOS to default settings and start recovery image installation:
  Turn on the laptop and press F12 repeatedly
  When the start menu is shown recovery disc into the optical disc drive
  Press ENTER and follow the menu on the screen.

  If you will not be able to install the recovery image, it may be that the HARD drive is the troublemaker.
  Replacing the HARD drive is not a big deal, and you can exchange it only in just 10 minutes.

• Satellite Pro A200 cannot install the driver of storage on an unattended installation

  I created an image of XP RIS for a Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 and have downloaded the correct drivers for this laptop.

  I scoured internet solutions on how to configure the .sif file and where to install this driver on the image that he won't seek the intall the storage driver so that it can not find the Sata HD to install the image.

  Everyone knows that before and if so please could you point me in the right direction I've been struggling with this for a few days now!

  Thank you

  Hello

  You must include the SATA drivers.
  The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page.

  Here's a nice instruction how to do this:

• Satellite Pro A200 failing to connect with iphone via wifi hotspot

  My apologies if I get some of the jargon wrong, but I'm pretty useless when you want IT emits.

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 and had problems connecting to various wifi connections.
  The computer could see the wifi connection and connect to it, but I wasn't able to connect to the internet.

  The question of the Office was arranged by our IT support guy (security settings on the new router we too complex for my PC or something like that), but he has not been able to solve the problem of not being able to connect to my iphone to use the 'hotspot' via the wifi function.

  Someone there knows a way to solve this, or is it a simple fact of the laptop is too old and really need to update?

  Thanks for any help that anyone is able to give.

  > Someone know a way to fix this or is it a simple fact of the laptop is too old and really need to update?

  This isn't a question of the age of the laptop
  As far as I know not that support all mobile operators
  You should first ask your mobile operator if you can use the tethering service.

  If this would be supported in my mobile operator, then connect the iphone to the laptop first
  So that you have two options: you can use the BT connection (in this case check if computer laptop also supports BT) or via a USB cable that came with the iPhone.

  (PS: as far I know to attach is supported by iOS3.0 and higher)

  After that the iphone was connected to the laptop, you must activate the tethering on iphone.
  Under settings of-> network, you should see the option internet tethering it must be enabled.
  Now you should be able to see that in the Network & Center sharing control panel.

• Installation of WLAN Driver Satellite Pro A200 to WXP

  Hello

  I installed Windows XP SP2 for a client on Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) and installed after is spoken in the German support hotline all drivers as in the test - instal .txt but I don't get the Atheros WLAN card to work.

  It is an ar5bxb72 of Atheros, but no way.
  I get all of the drivers in this list only works with the hardware, but not the card WIFI but I installed it in the list.
  Someone has a tip for me?

  Welcome them
  Marco

  Hi dude

  Are you sure that the laptop was equipped with the Atheros WLan card? According to some information that I found in the internet, this laptop comes with an Intel or Atheros WLan card!

  I checked the page Toshiba provides an Intel WLan Atheros Wireless Lan Client Manager and drivers. The Wireless Lan Client Manager is not the driver, but only the tool that helps you to configure your wireless network card and gives you more than the functions integrated configuration of windows configuration options.

  I recommend to download this portal Toshiba WLan WLan driver:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  By the way; If you use XP on this laptop preinstalled Vista you will need to update the BIOS to version XP too!

  Greetings ;)

• Satellite Pro A200 failed to start

  Hi guys,.

  Need for emergency assistance.
  Computer laptop Satellite Pro A200 tension regarding the Toshiba password logon, then the cursor freezes the upper left corner, it won't get into F8 configurations.
  This unit is 3 months old Satellite Pro A200 XP Pro.

  Used cell phone Sunday noon and set a system restore before installing a few applications. I can get to the Bios.
  I also used the disc of recovery as a last resort. I'm on vacation a week today and if all goes well with the laptop.

  deejaydee

  You said you used the recovery CD? Well, I guess that you were not able to boot from them. Or I m wrong?

  Usually, you should try to boot from the CD bootable recovery CD, Win XP/Vista CD or CD of Linux. This could allows to check if a hardware problem exists.

  If you want to boot from the CD, I would recommend pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop. This should allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.
  However, you can also try the F12 key. This allows the Boot Manager where you could choose the STRANGE.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
  The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
  Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

  I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
  Any comments?

  Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
  I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

  So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

  If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

• Satellite Pro A200 - black screen with a blinking cursor

  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

  Please go into the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
  The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  Eventually the HARD drive is dead and you need to replace it and reinstall the operating system.

  Good luck

  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 (PSAE4E) failure hard disk

  Hello

  My computer is Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) purchased Oct 2007, running Vista 32 bit. He was always a bit skittish and prone to crashing. The first time I ever did a Windows Update it projected blue, so I restored and never updated since.

  The other day it started to emit beeps during startup, and while I could then get into, I think that the hard drive has failed, because now it runs very slow and crashes.

  Think the forum that this laptop could never be made to be stable and reliable?

  The hard drive is hard to change? I do it myself.

  There the drive hard replacement somewhere online instructions?

  Should what model of hard drive I install?

  Thank you

  Hello akibono

  I imagine that you have installed Windows XP Home clean on your laptop and now you want to install all the drivers, tools and utilities. Am I right about that?

  In any case, after the installation of Windows XP Home edition you install all the drivers, tools and utilities in the order of the specific facilities. After doing this, everything should be OK and every hardware component will be correctly configured.
  Please install all the stuff as follows:
  WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION
  Driver Chipset
  Display driver
  Audio driver
  Driver modem
  Storage Manager
  LAN driver
  Touchpad driver
  WLAN driver
  Toshiba Assist
  Flash Media driver
  Driver webcam
  Hardware configuration
  Controls
  And so on

  I hope that everything will be OK.
