Satellite P200-1EE Can I install a 2nd hard disk in the spare bay?

First of all, hi everyone!
I have the above model laptop, and it has a spare disk bay. There are pin connectors at one end, but it does not seem like the drive will fit. It's like there is a component missing - like the connector slot housing for the 1st drive. I have bought a 500GB drive, and have tried seeing whether it would fit. The 1st drive has a metal caddy attached, and that did not work either.
Is it possible to fit a 2nd drive to this model? If so, what would I need to do it?
Thanks!
Andy

Hi
If you have a connector in second HDD bay you can add a second HDD. But you will need such a metal caddy as on the first HDD. Therefore you can contact an authorized service provider because you can get all spare parts from them.
On the Toshiba website is a list of all ASPs, check this!!!

  • Satellite A200-137 - Can not install windows after hard disk crash

    last week my a200-137 crashed and now i have new hitachi 500 gb hdd on it, same as before the crash.
    I install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull install i have to start windows, it says preparing windows for first use then i have to wait a moment and then i get the message that windows installation is not completed. But it is complete!
    After trying for 3 times installing with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
    After a couple of minutes and transering files, I get the message no disk found! It says that there is no hard disk on the laptop!
    But when I start up the boot menu or the setup menu I can see the 500 gb Hitachi hard disk!
    So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

    > So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
    On this virtual way it is not easy to say why you cannot install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same will happen when you replace HDD with the same or identical one.
    Which capacity has had original HDD?
    If possible try to obtain original Microsoft installation disc and check if HDD will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and start preinstalled OS.
    About WXP installation: it is well known that WXP installation will not starts properly due to missing SATA driver that must be loaded before WXP installation starts.
    Check this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Can I get a Blu-Ray drive for it?

    At last, Toshiba have joined the BDA!!!!!!
    Does any one know if or when they will release a Blu-Ray drive to replace the HD-DVD drives in a P200-1EE?
    I know this post may be little premature but I have felt betrayed ever since buying the laptop and 3 weeks later Toshiba dropping the HD-DVD format.

    Hi!
    I dont know when Toshiba will release a Bluray drive that you can buy to exchange it with your HD-DVD drive.
    But maybe a drive from another manufacture will also work on your notebook. In your case I would go to the nearest computer shop and ask for such a drive. Maybe you can test it in the shop if it works because not all drives are compatible with all notebooks (e. g. pin assignment).
    Good luck!

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Can't get camera to start

    After plunging through the forums I notice a lot of people have been having problems with their built in web cams.
    Before the camera was just moody, turning on and off stating other applications had locked usage (when they werent even on, not even in background tasks) but it stopped working.
    I managed to uninstall the camera driver and download the Vista version of the website. The software seems to have installed fine but when you start the software it says "turn camera on" and even by pressing the hot keys I cant get the camera to start, just the software with a grey screen.
    I checked device manager and its no use.
    Help please! I dont want to have to go out and buy a new camera.

    Hi!
    I have two Toshiba laptops and no problems with the webcam. Both webcams work fine and without problems.
    Did you download the driver from the Toshiba website?
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    Maybe a BIOS could also solve the problem.
    Have you installed the notebook with the Toshiba recovery disk or Microsoft disk?

  • PowerBook G4 1Ghz (Nov 2002) - can i install a 160gb Hard Disk inside?

    Hi
    I have a PowerBook G4 1Ghz (Nov 2002). I want to upgrade the internal 4200rpm 60gb drive to a 5400rpm 160gb.
    Can my PowerBook address the full 160gb? Or is it limited to only addessing 128GB of it.
    This page seems to says any mac introduced after June 2002 will be fine with drives over 128GB, but it seems like it's just refering to desktop macs.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
    Can anybody confirm that it will work?
    Thanks!

    I'm just wondering why the 667 won't recognise them?
    The ATA controller used in those logic boards is not 48-bit LBA compliant. The first Powerbook LBs that had such a controller were the 867MHz and 1GHz boards used in the later DVI Tibooks. Other Macs introduced around the same time also had controllers that allowed the use of internal ATA drives larger than 128GB. So yes, the second part of your post is probably correct.
    But be aware that after upgrading to a faster LB, you may no longer be able to boot to the discs that were shipped with your Powerbook or to those that were shipped with any other Powerbook, including a factory 867MHz or 1GHz Tibook. If that's the case, as it has been for some others who've reported here, it will leave you without any way of reinstalling a bootable OS 9.2.2, in case you ever want to. OS X 10.2.3 or higher can be installed from a retail installer disc set. But there's never been a retail OS 9.2.2 disc, and the DVI Tibooks won't boot to anything lower, so no retail OS 9 disc is usable with any of those models. This mattters less and less to most people as OS 9 recedes into the past, but it's something to be aware of.

  • Where can I get a new hard disk in the UK?

    I have a Hitachi 80Gb internal hard disk (Hitachi HDS722580VLAT20) which TechTool tells me is failing. I can't afford to have a new one fitted, so I think I'm going to have to do it myself.
    The trouble is that I can't find one anywhere. Apple don't seem to sell them and so far any search of the web has been fruitless. Anyone recommend a UK supplier for these?

    Have you tried to repair the disk using Apple's Disk Utility or whatever options TechTool offers? 
    More drastically; have you tried Zeroing All Data on the drive and re-installing the OS? This can cure many Hard Drive issues unless the drive really is on it's way out.
    But to answer your question...The iMac G4 uses a bog standard 3.5" IDE/ATA hard drive so they are available from any computer shop. E.g. PC World if you prefer to walk in to a store on a retail park.
    The term IDE /ATA/ATA100/ATA66 etc etc are all pretty much one and the same thing so don't worry about that. The only drives that won't work are the new Serial ATA (SATA) drives that are used in new Macs/PCs. You should buy a faster 7,200rpm drive with a cache of at least 8Mb.
    I bought my 320Gb drive from dabs.com - I've bought, RAM, disk, media, printers and whole macs from them and have been very happy with the prices and service. If you wanted to shop around I like dealtime.co.uk.
    The first iMac G4's i.e. pre June 02 may have trouble addressing hard disks greater than 128Gb. - So long as your machine is younger it should be okay.

  • Can I move an external hard disk off the finder window, to the Dock or menu bar, for instance?

    I use a couple of external hard disks, one with Time Machine for every day back-ups and another for occasional back-ups of large work files and videos I have purchased. It bothers me to see them sitting up there in the top right hand corner of my screen. Can I move them permanently somewhere else, into the Dock or Menu Bar say, and still have them permanently available?

    Yes.
    You can drag the drive icon from the desktop into the Dock.
    Then you can go to Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop > uncheck External disks, and it should stay in the dock but not show on the desktop.
    There are third party apps that will give you Finder-like access to things in your Menu Bar, like  Download XMenu for Mac - Menubar item lists/launches apps, and more. MacUpdate.com  , but I would avoid third party GUI-changing apps like this if I were you, as they tend to be problematic, and install background processes which slow down your mac.

  • Satellite P200 1EE - can this output to 1080p via HDMI?

    HI
    My first post on this forum.
    I recently bought this notebook and have connected it to my LCD TV at home. However, I can't seem to get 1080p via HDMI only 1080i (my TV is capable of accepting 1080p through HDMI). Anyone know if this is possible? (I have updated the latest display drivers from Toshiba).
    Also whilst watching movies, I am noticing a lot of grain/noise on the notebook screen. Is this normal or is it a defect? I was watching Transformers HD DVD last night and could see loads of noise not only during dark scenes but generally throughout the film.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Shak.

    Hi Shak.
    It helps that you've ensured your LCD tv supports 1080p. For this resolution you have to check in your graphic card driver catalyst a needed option. Open that control center and look for dvi settings and uncheck the "reduce dvi frequenzy on high resolution displays" option. 1080p should work now.
    For the grainy/noisy thing with the Transformers HD-DVD. I don't think it is a defect or something like that. Just put in another movie and see if the picture quality is better or not. Quality differs from movie to movie.
    Check it out and give me a quick answer if it worked.
    Regards,
    Joey

  • Satellite X200-245 can i install a second HDD

    on satellite X200-245 : can i install a second hard drive ?
    is it possible ?
    There is a place for it but no sata connection on the mother board where can i find this connector

    No you cannot install the second HDD because there is no HDD connector which would allows to connect the HDD to the mobo.
    And No, its not possible to upgrade the mobo with such connector.
    The X200 has the two HDD bays because some X200 support 2 HDDs and some dont support it.
    Your X200 doesnt support 2 HDD

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

    Hi and I have a problem.
    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
    But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
    I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
    Any suggestions?

    Hi!
    Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
    I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
    Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com]. Furthermore this document could be useful for you:

  • Satellite P200-10O: Can't send emails using Vista Windows Mail

    Can any one help.
    I have a Satellite P200-10O, with Vista installed. In Win Mail i have set up my email accounts as normal.
    When i open Win Mail i can click send and receive and it searches for new messages, this can be repeated as often as you like. However when i create a new message and click send it stops working. The message goes into the outbox, if i open it in the outbox and click send, nothing happens, after a while of trying every thing freezes up. If i then close the program and re open it will send the message but then sometimes the send and receive doesn't work until you close and re open. Also the message counters do not up date.
    I have tried everything i can think of, Vista forum, ISP, Toshiba. So far no joy although i will be getting back in touch with Toshiba again. Message is set to send immediatley.
    No virus or firewall is being used.
    Cheers

    Hi buddy,
    why are you making yourself such problems?? Why dont you use Mozilla Thunderbird which is faster, reliable and has better functions then this Vista Mail thingy??
    I use Thunderbird now for some years and I love it. Its better than outlook and has so many functions which make the work a lot easier.

  • Does Satellite P200-1EE has BT built-in?

    This is going to sound like a really stupid question ( coming from someone who used to work in the I.T. industry ) ....
    I have seen a lot of mention about '*Bluetooth*' functionality, but *how do i know for certain if my 'lappy' has it*, _*or*_ better still *if it has ever been setup* for it
    ( I have a *Satellite P200-1EE* - if that makes any difference ) ??

    im in I.T is well. unfortunately on the box it shows the blutooth sign... it doesnt have bluetooth capabilities. if you need bluetooth you can get attachable usb sticks which come with the software required to make your computer bluetooth accessable. good luck.

  • Satellite A300-15M - Can I install a second HDD?

    Hi there.
    I own a SatelliteA300-15M. I bought the laptop 2 years ago. I have already 250GB hard drive which came with the laptop. Recently I got my laptop serviced from local shop. I noticed that it has an additional slot for another hard drive. I saw a post that some of the A300/A305 laptops have the space for second hard drive but not the connectors.
    If anyone owns A300-15M can they please tell me if i can install a second internal hard drive in my model? Is there a sure way to find if I can really install a second hard drive?

    Hello
    > but not the connectors.
    So the case is claer: If you dont have a second SATA connector, you cant install a second HDD.
    Check also the forum regarding such questions. The point is that one notebook series (e. g. Satellite A300) is always equipped with the same case but the hardware is different. So not all models have the same features. ;)

  • Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

    Hi All,
    I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
    The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
    When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
    which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
    Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

    Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.
