Satellite Pro P200-HD: how to use it with Win XP

Recently, I received the new Satellite Pro P200 HD of Getech. I asked Getech to change the XP operating system because my University will not support Vista. I was told that some features are lost with XP, such as the hot key utility and I agreed to go ahead.

However, I was not informed that the sound is scratchy and the video will behave as if I play a scratched CD.
It is true with windows sounds as well. I was not able to enjoy the music or video. I have all the drivers updated and the new Bios XP released recently has been updated.

Please does anyone know someone using this model with XP as an operating system with the sound and video works properly?
This would mean that I was sold a laptop with a defective sound equipment and should get a replacement because I had this problem from day one.

Thanks for the help in advance.

  • Satellite Pro P200-1JV - how to reset to factory settings?

    Hello

    I'm trying to reset my Satellite Pro P200-1JV to factory settings. I tried pressing reset and turn on, also tried pressing F8 and turn on and no system recovery doesn't happen as I was told that it should.

    I put everything in place of discs with it and it's a Vista operating system.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    Hi alanmanley,

    Why you press the zero key to restore factory settings?
    You can restore the factory settings if you go into the advanced Windows (F8) boot menu and select Repair my computer. Then will begin the recovery of HARD drive and reinstall Windows.

    In addition, this option is available on OS preinstalled Toshiba and the recovery disc, that you create yourself as mentioned in the user manual.

    I have the Satellite Pro U400-12y and give tem my friend use it when he gets back, the laptops it do format c: and reinstalled new windows.
    I try to do the recovery only by pressing f8 without answering.

    How can I recover my laptop to its state of origin as drive HARD recovery again in d:
    Thanks in adv

    Hello

    You will not be able to restore the factory settings because another operating system has been installed on the first partition.
    Usually by pressing F8 immediately after the laptop has been powered should allow the advanced on-screen menu. Here, you should choose option called repair my computer and Toshiba Recovery HARD drive.

    But if this doesn t work then you will not be able to use HARD drive recovery.
    In this case, you will need to order the new CD from here:

  • Satellite Pro C870-172: how to use the Fn keys by pressing the FN key

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro C870-172 and I found that the FN key is used by default.

    I mean that if I need to use the normal F1 or F2 key, I have to press "FN" + F1 or F2 etc... otherwise I get the function of toshiba. which would be fine, but in a lot of technical programs, I need to use the normal F1 F2... touch!

    is there a way to reverse the default system so that when I press the F1 key, I get the F1 function and when I press FN + F1, I get the toshiba service?

    Thank you

    M2

    Yes, go to the BIOS by pressing F2
    Now switch to the Advanced tab, and then open the System Configuration.
    Here you will see the option called: mode of the function (without pressing Fn first) key

  • Satellite PRO P200 (PSPB7E): LAN PCI network resources - conflict problem

    Hey,.

    I have a Satellite PRO P200 and I have some problems with the local network. (not a wireless).

    When I plug in the network cable, the system want start at all. The blue power let towers and it is all tha comes.
    If I turn off the laptop, unplug the cable and turn it on, it starts, but the network card is more installed.
    I already downloaded the driver from Realtek for Vista 32 bits from the website, but no difference.

    In fact, the driver is not recognized as being a good driver for the device. I select the driver manually in a list (using have disk etc..) to get installed it. After the re-setup all the parameters of the network card in Vista or disappeared, always on dhcp.

    I already had a blue screen (vista dump), during the installation of the device.
    And a mistake:
    Conflict of resources - controller Netword PCI in the location 08
    Bus: 04, device: 00, function: 00
    Press to return to for Setup.

    I also tried to turn the peripheral as the third lan of start-up, but it automaticaly turns on again.

    I tried to update the bios to the latest version, she too successful (not), but it did not solve my problem.

    Any ideas?

    I read a lot of stories here, but yours is really amazing. I don't know what the problem is here, but try to enter the BIOS settings and set it to the default value. After doing this install OS using recovery media.

    Now that you must clean preinstalled OS and your laptop will have factory settings. Please retest the functionality of network card. If the problem persists, you need professional help.

  • Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

    I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

    I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

    Can anyone provide more information?

    Hello!

    I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
    It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

    Last week when I booted the laptop, windows won't load and I find myself safe mode selection screen. No options whatsoever me to windows loading, I tried F8 and still nothing.

    I tried the restore cd that reimagee the drive but I get the same thing, I tried a new hard drive, once again the same.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hello

    Go to BIOS and set it to default settings.

    In this case the SATA mode must be on AHCI. In this case the SATA drivers are required to install the Windows operating system. But as much as I know that Windows 7 already contains the SATA drivers if usually you don t had to add SATA drivers while OS installation the installation program.

    However, here is a nice HowTo document that helps you add SATA drivers for Win XP installation disc.

  • Failure of the BIOS - Satellite Pro P200 - 16 c

    I installed Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop Satellite Pro P200 today. I then tried flashing the BIOS through windows with program Flash BIOS on Toshiba driver download page. I used the program flash for Vista because none is available for Windows 7. The program started and took a backup of my old version of BIOS and then Flash the BIOS. Then after a while an error occurred saying that this operating system was not supported.

    Alright. I restarted the computer and he was going to access the BIOS to see if the new version was done to install or not. But I can't access the BIOS now since the TI of suddenly password protected. I tried Google known standard Phoenix BIOS passwords, but they do not work. Now I've mistyped the password if often the computer won't let me even start without entering a correct password.

    How can I reset the BIOS? Should I open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery? Which will work?

    Help, please...

    Hello

    You used not compatible BIOS and it seems that module ROM BIOS was not flashed properly.
    Unfortunately, there is nothing to do but to contact the ASP of Toshiba in your country,
    Guys could remove the password and can reflash the BIOS using a traditional disk BIOS version and the crisis.

    > How can I reset the BIOS? Should I open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery? Which will work?
    No, remove the CMOS battery would not help because as far as I know that the CMOS battery is not removable on laptops just ASP can clear the BIOS password.

  • No software DVD player with my new Satellite Pro P200

    Just bought a new Satellite Pro P200 and, to my surprise and dismay, it has software player DVD No. inside? I downloaded the DVD drive on the official download here, but Vista abandoned the facility saying that I can not install the application. Have you tried to configure it as a Admin, but the same message is given running.

    Suggestions as to how I can get the software to run movies DVD on the new laptop computer would be most appreciated.

    The laptop is model is PSPB7E, it has Vista Business installed and has a HD-DVD drive installed.

    Would apprecate a response early to what I already plan to return this item, demanding a full refund since it seems that it does NOT use a software which SHOULD run (IE. Compatible versions of some software XP will simply not installed because Vista blocks!).

    Kamshot - discouraged by the new culture of 'Vista '!

    Hi Kam

    As far as I know every Toshiba laptop comes with pre-installed software allows you to watch DVD movies. It is a part of the standard installation and the application is called WinDVD.

    According to the specifications of the laptop, your laptop has no HD DVD player, just DVD-Super Multi (+ r DL). Because of this there is no HD DVD player.

    Hello

    If you want to do this on a professional path you should look for more information on the net and maybe check some forums on the audio/video support. These things have nothing to do with specific for laptop or desktop manufacturers.
    As Homer written you can use an audio cable and connect it to the microphone port on your desktop. I don't know how it will work with your software. You can also use external devices like this.

    As I've written before, use Google and see what others wrote about the experiences in various media forums.
