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.

  • Installation of WLAN Driver Satellite Pro A200 to WXP

    Hello

    I installed Windows XP SP2 for a client on Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) and installed after is spoken in the German support hotline all drivers as in the test - instal .txt but I don't get the Atheros WLAN card to work.

    It is an ar5bxb72 of Atheros, but no way.
    I get all of the drivers in this list only works with the hardware, but not the card WIFI but I installed it in the list.
    Someone has a tip for me?

    Welcome them
    Marco

    Hi dude

    Are you sure that the laptop was equipped with the Atheros WLan card? According to some information that I found in the internet, this laptop comes with an Intel or Atheros WLan card!

    I checked the page Toshiba provides an Intel WLan Atheros Wireless Lan Client Manager and drivers. The Wireless Lan Client Manager is not the driver, but only the tool that helps you to configure your wireless network card and gives you more than the functions integrated configuration of windows configuration options.

    I recommend to download this portal Toshiba WLan WLan driver:

    By the way; If you use XP on this laptop preinstalled Vista you will need to update the BIOS to version XP too!

  • 'Common module' missing for XP on Satellite Pro A200

    Hi all

    I received my portable computer Pro A200 (PSAE7) Satellite with a Vista operating system.
    I made a fresh & clean in this regard XP installation using the Toshiba installation instructions document.
    Everything works well except my Fn + F6 Fn + F7 Fn + F8 keys for wireless and screen brightness.

    I did some research on the internet and I found this page:
    -http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7401VB0003R01.htm

    Looks like I need the facility of "common module" Installer to operate access keys.
    But the problem is that the 'common' module is not available on the page of the driver for XP...
    If I change the Vista operating system type "Value package" is available, but it is not compatible on XP...
    I tried to download and install a 'common' module for Satellite Pro A120 model, but I got a "TVALZ" error when installing...

    Toshiba support forgot to upload a module 'common' installer of XP for Satellite Pro A200?
    How can I run my Fn + F6 Fn + F7 Fn + F8 keys?

    Any help will be really appreciated!
    Thank you

    HM, do you already have a BIOS update? I guess you know that you need the Bios XP when installing XP on your machine?
    Usually these keys should work since the machine is powered (or explain it better: keys should be available from the BIOS, not OS) which depends on the BIOS, so please update your BIOS to the XP version if it is not already done and give some feedback.

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro A200 - 26 minutes of normal time remaining?

    Hi all

    My laptop Satellite Pro A200 is a little over 1.5 years (or young: P) and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of _26 minutes_ under "high performace" mode in Vista - other modes the power increase time to 5-7 minutes.

    I've tweated the system configuration for:
    -too few programs running at startup;
    d ' use as little memory in what concerns the graphics (as in the disabled vista themes and operations "fantasies" show window contents while dragging).
    -stay on the low light.

    The programs that run at startup are my anti virus (F-Secure) and ATI catalyst control.

    I also cleaned the registry conflicts and scan for viruses regularly.

    I used Ubuntu on this laptop as well and the battery life is not that much better, which leads me to the conclusion that the battery comes to an end.

    I was wondering if this duration of battery life (26 minutes max on high performace) is normal for a laptop after only 1.5 years? * (I don't remember how long it has lasted when I first bought).

    Also, I have a laptop from other manufacturer of 2 years and its battery lasts a minimum of 4 hours (on Windows XP).
    The two laptop batteries are 6 cells.

    Any suggestions on how to improve my battery life?

    Thanks in advance.

    > Satellite Pro A200 laptop computer is a little over 1.5 years and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of 26 minutes in "high performace" mode in Vista

    Battery working time depends on different factors:

    If parts of different hardware such as CPU, GPU, HDD, ODD, display perform better performance then dramatically decreases your battery work time
    In addition, if you lose a stronger battery (9 or 12 cells cell) then you should be abele run Notepad a lot more time using the battery power.
    In addition, the battery loses the own performance systematically and after a long period of use, you will need to replace the battery.

    However, if you wish, you can check the Vista Power Options to increase the working time of battery:
    Here's a nice article:

    How to manage Windows Vista power management features
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm

    But in the worst case you will need a new, stronger battery

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Check this box!

    Hello akibono

    I imagine that you have installed Windows XP Home clean on your laptop and now you want to install all the drivers, tools and utilities. Am I right about that?

    In any case, after the installation of Windows XP Home edition you install all the drivers, tools and utilities in the order of the specific facilities. After doing this, everything should be OK and every hardware component will be correctly configured.
    Please install all the stuff as follows:
    WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION
    Driver Chipset
    Display driver
    Audio driver
    Driver modem
    Storage Manager
    LAN driver
    Touchpad driver
    WLAN driver
    Toshiba Assist
    Flash Media driver
    Driver webcam
    Hardware configuration
    Controls
    And so on

    I hope that everything will be OK.

    If someone has to take care of the warning, it's Microsoft. They offer something new and they know with certainty that he could have different negative influence on the operating system running well.

    Toshiba may just try to react and change has tools and utilities, but it's not easy. you will see that soon or later Toshiba will offer updates for all non-working stuff. The same is with WXP SP2.
