• Satellite Pro A200: Recovery using a ghost network boot disk

  Hi all

  Need to ghost several satellite pro a200 machines using a ghost network boot disk. When I use disk ghost provided by the ghost boot Wizard and no boot on PC back I get the message 'No Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Found!' Serious internal error! (hardware works fine under XP/Vista)

  I tried to boot from CD, Mem Stick and USB floppy with the drivers of toshiba and realtek without success, research on google seem to point to there needing to be a driver to interface with the cardbus / PCMCIA adapter - if it IS the case can anyone shed light on the fate of a pilot and how I could continue on this?

  Thank you very much

  Thanks for the clarification best regards

  > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
  Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
  Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

• Satellite Pro A200 - 1NB PSAE7E cannot install the chipset driver

  I decided to install windows XP last night and for this I slipstreamed SP3 and all the drivers that I could find on the Toshiba support site in my installation CD with nLite. Installation went well, but the problem appeared when I tried to install the driver of the Intel chipset that is a .exe file.

  What I get is an installer that gets stuck in the middle (port 5 PC ich8 something)... after that, I have to hold the power button to get off the computer in power.

  I've updated the BIOS, but it doesn't change anything...

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

• Satellite Pro A200 - hard drive has lost half it's memory

  I have a toshiba Satellite Pro A200 on Vista. Vista came preloaded and I not all disks for it. I got it from the new (Sept 2007). The hard disk is divided into units. Recently my C drive has filled competely and I now no space left (went 55gigs) I store some data in this drive. All my multimedia elements (music, photos, and other files) is in my E drive. I have to run C Cleaner whenever I start in order to have enough space for the operation of the computer. I also remove all but the last restore point in order to function.

  I am at my wits end and think I must have a virus or something. Is there a way to restore the computer to the 'new '? I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive, so I don't mind from scratch. Not keeping in mind I have no install discs as Vista came preloaded.

  Can anyone help? Please, I beg you!

  Hello

  If you don't have a recovery disk, you can order from Toshiba for the money. Otherwise, you can get copy of Windows and installed with the drivers of Toshiba (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp)
  Then, you mentioned that hard drive has lost half it's memory, tell you if it was ok before but not available? Please check disk management, utility of the Panel. What is shown here?

• Satellite Pro A200 - drivers need Win7 & feature keys FN

  Hello

  I have little problem with my Satellite Pro A200-29N. I installed him win7 and now I can not find drivers (only completed ValueAddedPackage).
  Seconds are the keys FN they does not work:(befor j'ai WinVista)

  Old laptop as your SP A200 models works perfectly with Windows 7 32 bit OS.
  I checked the download page of Toshiba and Toshiba complete offer of assistance for Win7 32 bit, but not for the 64bot version.

  I assume you are using the 64-bit version, right?

• Satellite Pro A200 does not load if current enforcement

  Hello

  I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 on Vista. I have a problem with the power adapter and charge socket.
  It will start and run very well and when turned off will charge the battery of fine food. But when running, the machine automatically runs battery, no network and does not load.

  This means that the battery is sinking and ended up to be recharged so just off the coast.
  When the power supply is removed and then reinserted, it will load for maybe 30 seconds, then stops to load again initially and continues to run on battery.
  At the same time, the blue light of indication on the front of the machine lights up to indicate that the ESA is connected and detected, and on battery defiler on windows in States ' ac connected, not charging battery "-in other words it works of ac and is detected but the machine isn't use to run power supply or load unless it is turned off...

  Can anyone offer a solution?

  Thank you

  That s very strange and I guess that this problem could be linked to the hardware problem.
  Either it's a defective battery or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
  In my opinion, there is only one way to know what's wrong some diagnostic tests are needed.
  This test can be performed by a technician of the ASP.
  That is why it s advisable to contact an ASP in your country for audits.

  This is a new laptop and warranty should cover everything!

• Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E: Volume control moves without any breakpoint

  First time I've used this excuse. Just bought my second Toshiba this time Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E Vista Business. The volume control turns both clockwise and anti hourly without any breakpoint that it in either... just begins to turn.

  Increase and decrease the volume but it is unpredicatble and the fact that there is no breakpoint on the rotation of the wheel is I wonder if there is a fault? Seems strange to me.

  Adivce appreciated
  See you soon
  Dave

  There s nothing wrong with the volume control!
  Here are the new properties of the volume control. These volume controllers are integrated in the different portable Toshiba top of range, that a similar volume controller can be found in the new Qosmio series

  So relax and enjoy your new toy ;)

• 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.

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

  HII!

  IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

  The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
  They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

  Also...
  What's the deal with BIOS? : S
  I don't understand!
  If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

  Thank you!

  The restore CD will of course work.
  The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

  > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
  > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

  Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
  In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

• Satellite Pro A200 how to get a Vista 64 bit of Toshiba Recovery disk

  I have a portable satellite Pro A200 computer and I would like to install Vista 64-bit.
  As I read it, you can use the 32-bit key to install the 62-bit version. Is there a way to get the "product recovery disc" in a 64-bit version.

  Or download it from somewhere

  Hello

  What OS came preinstalled on your laptop?
  If it's a 32 bit Vista OS, then you can only get a 32-bit Vista Toshiba recovery CD.

  If you want to install another OS, no matter if it of XP or Vista 64-bit, you must purchase the operating system of Microsoft.

  PS: as far as I know the key to series used for Vista 32 bit OS is only an OEM key and it does not work with other operating systems!

  Hi Peter,.

  Try you to an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If Yes, please try a new and clean Windows 7 installation. It work?

  Another question: your CD/DVD drive works properly or it appears with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager?
  In your case, I would try to remove the drive from Device Manager, then restart the laptop. After that the drive will be recognized automatically.

• Satellite Pro A200: Card reader does not work after installing XP

  Hello...

  I deleted Windows Vista from my Satellite Pro A200 for XP Home.
  I'm much happier with the machine now, but I am unable to get any response from the card reader. There is no mention in the manual supplied with the machine.
  I cannot find any reference to it in the Control Panel hardware Manager and nothing changes here in it when I insert a SD memory card.

  I had no cause to try the drive before removing Vista, so I don't know if it never worked... Although I guess he did.
  A search of a pilot running in the download section had no success, and this forum has no direct answers.

  Does anyone have an idea what I have to do to make this work?

  Mintin Popa.

  Hello

  I put t see serious reasons why your card reader shouldn't run with installed Windows XP t/function.
  What you need is the right driver.

  The Toshiba driver page provides all the drivers Win XP and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.

  You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. He is a driver for your bridge Media Slot.
  This slot allows you to insert an SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture cards.

  See you soon
