• Satellite Pro A200 - peripheral display Hotkey Utility for XP is not available

  I just got 6 x A200s (PSAE1E-00Q002EN). These have been pre-installed with Vista, however, because of the software platform in place in my institution, I've restored the operating system to Windows XP.

  All the drivers installed fine form the Toshiba support pages and the standard image that we deploy for laptops was created. However, some features are unavailable in Windows XP.

  Namely, the 'Fn' key for switching display device (like changing the brightness/touchpad market etc.). The ability to switch displays quickly and with a simple User Interface is vital for my users since it is a function, they perform several times a day, with many of them barely in computer science.

  The Institute, I work for have bought a lot of laptop Toshiba (going to the Satellite Pro model from the early 1800s until A120s and A200s!) and until the A200s it was Windows XP - I hope as the Toshiba release a fix for this.

  Hello

  The FN keys don't work because of the problem of BIOS with Windows XP compatibility.
  I assume that FN + F3 and F4 key combination functions.
  This is a special function that belongs to the Toshiba Power saver and this help, you can switch to standby and hibernation mode!

  I put t know if you tried to update the BIOS, but maybe this will allow functionality Fn key!

  But note; Update the BIOS is always risky! The bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure may damage the ROM module where the BIOS is stored!

• 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 - 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 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.

  Hello

  satellite Pro A200 has the controller Intel AHCI-build. It is not included in Windows XP. You will get a bluescreen 0x0000007B proving that XP cannot identify the controller and has no driver for it.
  Here is a brief description of how add that driver to your RIS installation:

  1 copy all the single files from the Storage Manager Intel ICH - 8 M 32 - Bit floppy in your directory$ $oem $ \Textmode.
  If this directory exists you must change your txtsetup.oem file and add/extract the AHCI driver of the file txtsetup.oem of the F6 floppy in it (do not overwrite the txtsetup.oem file in this case!).
  If this directory does not exist, you can use the supplied txtsetup.oem file numodified.
  Download the floppy F6 Storage Manager here: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/stormng-20070827133046.zip

  2. change your Winnt.sif file (or what you named your answer file) and add or change the following sections:

  [MassStorageDrivers]
  "Intel(r) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E/M)" = oem

  [OEMBootFiles]
  iaAhci.cat

  Hello

  If you are using the 64 bit OS, then also use 64-bit drivers.
  I found very nice HowTo from Toshiba.

• 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.

• 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 A200-16YT - update wireless adapter card for 802.11n

  Satellite Pro A200-16YT (PSAE1E) with Windows XP Professional SP3 from the East.
  I tried to increase my existing 54 Mbps wireless network speed by replacing the Atheros AR5007-EG existing with 802.11n 802.11a/b/g more quick adapter.

  The Atheros driver is v9.2.0.439 (08/04/2011) it's later. I tried to install an Azurewave AR5BXB72 (Atheros AR5008) as a substitute, but without success. As well as trying the standard Windows wireless configuration, I used the Atheros Client Utility (ACU) which confirms that the card and the driver are installed and activated, but the radio does not, so no there is no association/connection to the wireless network!

  Reinstall the original AR5007 works without any problem. If someone experienced similar problems or can offer a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
