• Incorrect operating system on the new recovery disc - Satellite U200-115

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U200-115 model No.PLUA0E - 0970372N which ran from Windows XP Professional. Stupidly, I decided to reformat the hard disk to clean. When I got to use my original recovery disk I found that it was badly scratched and unusable. I just got a new recovery disk, but he installed Windows Vista not what the machine came with.

  It says "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and that the "product key is invalid for activation. I don't have a product key for Vista only for XP Professional!
  What should I do now?

  > What should I do now?
  Is your laptop comes with WXP Pro. In my opinion, you should communicate with Bertelsmann (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx) and ask what is the problem.

• Satellite U200-115: how to reach the return key on the keyboard

  Hello.

  I recently bought a Satellite U200-115 and have a quick question. I was typing earlier today and I accidentally eliminated one of the keys to its position. I then spent the last 3 hours trying to attach it to the laptop.

  I was just wondering if the mechanism of how the keys are placed on the base of the keyboard has a special technique to be applied on the keyboard?

  The key is divided into three parts, and it looks like not to I broke one of these parts but im having rear attatching boredom. I would be grateful for any help you are able to provide.

  Michael

  Hello

  AFAIK there is no special technique. You simply press plastic key. It will click and the key will be placed as before.

• Satellite U200-115 - CD Rom error - cannot activate windows player

  Hello world

  I am having some problems with my player on my Satellite U200-115 DVD burner.
  It works very intermittently, and everytime I turn on the machine, the first notice I get is 'CD error' even if there is no disk in the drive.
  I can not activate the drive of windows (icon in the system tray).
  There is the odd occasion when the drive does not work in windows but it's so rare that I don't remember the last time (I think it was in Nov 08).

  I want to restore the system as I get a lot of windows, icons of file instead of the appropriate icons for images for example pdf, doc, etc., but am worried that the reader will not read the disc or will stop working during the recovery process.

  Any ideas would be welcome.

  Best wishes

  Nick

  If there s a problem with the player software won't stop working during the recovery procedure.
  That you get a CD-ROM error in Windows?

  You can try to boot from a Linux boot disk. If it works, it would be a software issue and not a hardware problem.

• CHKDSK with Windows Vista on the Satellite U200-115 messages

  I just installed the free update to Vista, which went well, but now that I'm installing software I get error messages saying that some files are corrupt.

  Running CHKDSK happens with large number of errors in the index. Repair attempts were not very successful. Help please!

  BIOS has been updated with the update of the bios provided on the disk supplied with the upgrade to Vista. Is this the last?

  My machine: laptop Toshiba U200-115

  Hello

  If I were you, I form the systemdisk and reinstall vista, because if your file system is damaged and is not able to repair itself the tools system, then you have some big problems.

  I suggest: backup your important data on key USB, USB - HDD, CD/DVD or something else and reinstall your operating system.

• Black screen on startup with a Satellite U200-115

  I have a U200-115, I downloaded an upgrade for the BIOS of toshiba and installed in accordance with their instructions. Since upgrading my laptop does not start, all I get is a black sreen with a sound signal and a flashing light orange.

  Any ideas?

  The U200 is a new laptop. Don t think you will find diagrams for the motherboard. But why do you need them?

  As mentioned above the BIOS flashing failed and you need to contact the ASP in your country. If you area lucky man that the motherboard must be not changed but the chip of the ROM BIOS flashed again. Do not hesitate to ask for the help guys!

• How to develop the Satellite U200 - 115 RAM?

  Are there clear instructions anywhere on the access to the expansion of the U200-115 RAM slots?
  I would like to add some more RAM, but can not find how to get to the openings to do.
  Reference to a manual with diagrams would be a * much * help.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Upgrading RAM is not really complicated, I think you could get access to the memory locations that very easily slots are placed at the bottom of the device, as far as I know the slots are guaranteed by a screw, remove the screws and you should be able to remove the cover

  Both slots can handle DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM barrettes
  Usually, you can use modules of different manufacturers I m using Kingston modules and I convinced m

  Anyway, as Akuma suggested, it would be useful if you check the user manual you will find a few pictures and a short instruction how to insert these modules

  See you soon

• Satellite U200-115 request PASSWORD on start up

  Hello

  For the first time ever and for no apparent reason my U200-115 has decided to ask for a password (BIOS I believe). It was working quite happily last night. I stopped as normal and kicked as always this morning. He's going theough the Toshiba start screen and then goes to a white screen with PASSWORD = I have no idea what the password and have never set one, can you help me?

  I have download Office updates before shutting down then last night, I don't know if this is relevant.

  Any help would be appreciated, and bear with me as I am a newbie to this!

  Thank you

  Wendy

  Hello

  Do you mean this password it resembles a BIOS password?
  It's very strange and not understandable to me.

  If it is a BIOS password, then you will need to contact the ASP in your country for deleting and updating the BIOS.

  I think you need to contact the ASP as soon as possible and should explain your problem.

  Good luck

• Satellite U200-128 & Vista: FN & keys do not work

  I upgraded my laptop to XP operating system to Vista.
  But after that I changed my OS, some functions don't work anymore, I.e. multimedia keys (which is located just above the keyboard, right next to the power button) and the FN keys (dimmer backlight screen, wifi key, etc.).

  Can someone help me with this?
  I have already downloaded software Toshiba U200 for Vista to predict, and yet I can't seem to fix it as I once did with an XP operating system.

  Hello

  You must install the Package Toshiba Vista value added for the control of Toshiba functionality of the buttons.
  Also, the FN buttons should work after the installation of VAP.
  The fact is that Vista FlashCards control keys FN and the FlashCards are a part of the VAP.

  I also recommend install button holder because it allows you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings

• Experience of Vista with a Satellite U200-115

  Hi.Just a little of my experience since the upgrade to Vista, in the hope of an orientation.
  U200 only bought it 4 months with XP Pro loaded. used Express upgrade to Vista.
  I think that I loaded the new Bios & drivers ok, but very fast, everything works no more. I could not repair the Vista installation had to install on my second partition. This led to 2 choices of vista boot up which I just discovered how to stop.
  Vista looks nice but...
  I keep losing my optical drive, I have to uninstall and then restart your computer.
  It crashes IE with the program image. Firefox blinking on the screen like crazy. Can only stop with the prolonged use of button / stop.
  Utility flashcards... what that all about?
  recovery when opening lid, slow, maybe needs to restart.
  Wireless, can make his choice if there is or is not all available networks... reboot again.
  I wonder if I can use the recovery cd to put XP on the original OS partition and back to Vista next year!
  Any comments appreciated

  HM, it sounds not very positive, but the crazy thing is, I have to admit your 'report' it s not pilot stuff, plus the operating system itself. I think that if they 'closed' with their OS werenâ´t they hadn´t so much probs thereafter. The manufacturer can provide some proper drivers and the system could be running.

  Thus, we can have some faith when they release SP1 for Vista. I think a lot of people waiting for MS.  :) Me too...

• Its on a Satellite U200 163 Vista problems

  Hello everyone,

  I try to install Vista Home Basic on my U200 163, but I am facing many problems and really need help...

  My biggest problem is that, after the upgrade, I have no sound on my computer. I installed the latest drivers from toshiba (toshiba American site vista drivers), my chipset is recognized as "Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio" and everything seems to be allright, but my speakers as well as my jack cards give no sound. Everything was ok under XP and my sound settings are ok, I even see the volume changes in the sound settings, I've never seen such a problem before... Did someone had an idea?

  Moreover, I didn't find the drivers for sensor HDD and several applications of toshiba important as protector of HDD, energy-saving, indicator of volume, hotkey utility cannot be run...

  I hope someone can help, thank you very much.

• Drive recovery damaged for Satellite U200-115

  My Satellite worked very slowly so I decided to reformat and start again using the recovery disk. He got 65 percent and stopped. I tried a second time and it does the same thing. When I watched the disc, I found that he has a deep scratch across it. Have now left me with a reformatted hard drive but not bone. Any advice would be welcome.

  For me, there are two options for you:
  -You can try to restore disc original order under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  -Install the operating system using the Microsoft installation disc
  All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

• Satellite U200-115: recovery disk contains WinXP

  The disc above also (XP) the windows software of exploitation? or should I make another record of backup?

  Hello

  The Toshiba recovery disc usually contains an operating system, Toshiba drivers, tools and software such as WinDVD, for example.
  If your laptop comes with Windows XP, then the recovery CD will contain Windows XP.

  If the laptop came with Vista, then the Vista operating system has been placed on the recovery CD!

  I hope everything is clear now!

• Satellite U200-115 fail to start

  Suddenly, our old Satellite of 2 year won't start.
  Power supply is OK
  I have a 'product' recovery CD, but this seems to destroy all data and programs.
  I've never had a boot disk
  I am running (working) Windows XP

  Any advice welcome.

  Hello!

  That means with won't start? You have the black screen, or you see anything?

  If Windows does not start (but) I would reinstall it with the recovery disk. Of course all programs and data will be deleted, but you can save, if put the HARD drive in an external HARD disk enclosure or a boot with a Linux CD and back up the data on an external HARD drive.

  The recovery disc to factory settings. This means a Windows preinstalled with the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  Good bye
