• Upgrade HDD in Tecra 8200 problem

  I am trying to upgrade the hard drive in my Tecra 8200 10 GB to 30 GB. I have adapters to connect both drives old and new laptop on my desk, then used cloning software to copy content from the old disk to the new, leaving the data on the old. The old and the new disks are formatted in FAT32. When I put the new drive in the laptop, it is not recognized. The configuration of the BIOS screen says 'no drive '.

  I tried 2 different programs of cloning and tried the new disk using a USB external box connected to the laptop, with the original drive mounted in the laptop cloning. Still not good. I went through the whole thing with a 20 GB drive that I use in the external case, and it is not to be recognized. The 30 GB and 20 GB are recognized and can be read by, by 2 different computer, so I am prety sure that disks are OK. The 8200 BIOS does not recognize them and it doesn't seem to be a way to force the BIOS to detect the drives.

  I thought that the 8200 would support larger disks, but this isn't looking too good. I hope it's something obvious that I forgot.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Hello

  As I know your Tecra should be able to recognize the 30 GB HARD drive. Maybe update the BIOS may solve the problem. Please on Toshiba download page has the latest BIOS update available.

• Tecra 8200 wireless issue

  Well, this is probably a stupid question, but I have a Tecra 8200.
  I have to buy something else for wireless work?

  Hello

  This question is not stupid ;) as the Tecra 8200 was equipped as an option with the LAN card internal minPCI. This could be a bit confusing.
  So in some units of Tecra 8200 WLan is already included in some Tecra s minPCI WLan card must be installed first to use WLan technology.

  You should check your device manager if a WLan module is listed in the network adepter
  If it s already registered then you n t need a WLan card.
  If it s are not, then you must upgrade the machine with the minPCI wireless network card or with a USB WiFi key.

  AFAIK the PA3070U-1MPC wireless mini-PCI card may be compatible with your laptop.

• Update disk on Tecra 8200

  Hello

  I own a Tecra 8200 with the latest version of the bios 1.6. I want to spend my 10 GB hard drive to a bigger! I searched the whole forum and google to find some information about the maximum size for this laptop, but there is different information. Sometimes the answer is 30 GB max and the other user has 60 GB hard drive installed. I hope someone can help me and give me some information on what hard drive I can buy a use in my tecra 8200! So thanks a lot this time.

  Welcome them

  Reinhard

  Unfortunately, I can just confirm that there is no public document on the possibilities of upgrade. I know with certainty that some laptop computers Tecra 8200 (probablu models) are delivered with discs hard 30 GB. because of that I'm sure you can use the 30 GB HARD drive with no problems.

  If you want more that I recommend to buy compatible HDD 60 and try to use it. If something is wrong you can at any time send HDD to your local dealer. Probably you have 14 days to send the product back if not satisfied.

• Tecra 8200 Boot and install os!

  I have a tecra 8200, cd player no longer works, so I bought a new... The floppy driver has also been broken, but I just bought a new floppy driver external usb. Everything works fine on windows, but I want to reinstall my OS, but I can't boot from the external floppy drive or a cd player... How can I solve this problem? I edited my bios to boot from the floppy drive, cdrom and HDD, but it does not start, the cd is bootable etc... How can I solve this?

  Hey,.

  When you have changed the former in an ew reader, what was the same model or a better? As SD-R2002 or
  DVD PA3014E-1DVD player Kit
  PA3015U-1CDD 24 x CD-ROM Drive Kit II
  PA3068U - 1 CD 1 CD-R/RW Drive Kit
  PA3073E - 1 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive Kit

  These disk are supported by the Tecra 8200 series. Another Selcet Bay drive can also adapt!

  It can also help to do a BIOS update unless the old one was not installed!

• Cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life on Tecra 8200 with Win XP

  Tecra 8200 with Win XP Professional

  The cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life after a few seconds, very rarely, I have to re - start.
  This happens as well with the mouse of keyboard or mouse remotely.

  Hope someone can help because it's driving crazy me.

  See you soon
  Matt

  I agree with Akuma. Disable the internal mouse and external use only. I have old Tecra M1 with the same keyboard and in my case the problem was faulty Acupoint placed on the keyboard.

  With the new keyboard, everything was OK again.
  I recommend you to disable the mouse of the computer laptop and external use only.

• Can I update my BIOS using a stick USB Mem on Tecra 8200

  I want to update BIOS for the last level v1.6.
  I don't have a floppy drive selectabay, just a DVD player.
  Now, it would take 3 DVD to do this I assume IE duty in the order of the day for more BIOS later.,.
  v1.4 then 1.5V and finally v1.6.

  Is the Board of Directors supported the start-up of a stick USB Mem, or a USB FDD.
  Any thoughts on the best way to do it.

  Is there a utility I could download and do it from windows...

  My system is a 820E. Tecra 8200 series.

  Thank you.

  I doubt that you can not do this.

  Toshiba page offers a trad BIOS update that can be updated by using only the FDD drive.

  Please check this update of the BIOS Toshiba how to document:

• Control the brightness of the LCD on Tecra 8200

  My Tecra 8200 PT820E, at some point, has been formatted less Tosh. control software. Book of hand says go to the Panel control/power economy and alter the screen brightness it. Which does not exist on my machine.

  The problem is when on battery, brightness level falls to a level that is unreadable. Is there another way to increase the brightness level?

  Thank you.

  You can do this very easily using FN + F7 to raise the brightness level.
  And I think that it is supposed to be the Toshiba Power Saver to look for this option.

  This small utility can manage the behavior of the energy saving modes, and there is an option how display is obscured.

• Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM

  There was a discussion here ("Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM") on the upgrade memory.
  He said that for TECRA 8000 - capacity maximum 256 MB memory (2 x 128). (unlike TECRA 8100 - which can be upgraded to 512)

  Does anyone know if the BIOS change may allow 512 MB with TECRA 8000?

  Thanks in advance,
  Piotr

  Hello

  I don t think that after updating the BIOS on the Tecra 8000, you will be able to use the 512 MB of memory.
  Like you said you can use max 256 MB (2 x 128 MB SDRAM)

• Tecra 8200: drive will read DVD-R or DVD + RW

  I have a Tecra 8200 under Win98.
  It has a player SD-R2002 Rev A combo with firmware 1324.
  He read commercial DVD OK, but doesn't read the DVD-R or DVD + RW discs (set booktype DVD-ROM) (I did not try other types).
  Is that correct or is defective drive?

  If it's broken, I would replace it with a DVD burner. Is there a writer who will adapt to this laptop?

  I found some info on the SD-R2002 and it seems that this drive can write and read CD - R and CD - RW and read only DVD-ROM and CD-ROM

  That's why I put t think that there is a fault. Of course I think that it of possible to order a burner for this device. In such cases, the best way is to contact Toshiba service to order the compatible device.
