2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

Hi everyone
I have a Satellite Pro P200.
Does anyone know where I can get a lead and a caddy to install a 2nd hard drive?

As far as I know your notebook can be upgraded with second HDD if SATA connector is available.
When you remove HDD cover for second HDD can you see it or not?
I have Satellite P200D with place for second HDD but there is no HDD SATA connector so upgrade is not possible.

Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
Things I've tried:
# booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
# connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
# I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
# It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
# The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

Need help with installing new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

Hi All,
My hard disk died in my Satellite Pro M10 so I decided to fit another.
It fits fine in the caddy but just doesnt want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopping it.
Does the M10 only accept a certain make/model?
Also does anyone know what the highest capacity the M10 will accept?
Many thanks.
Regards
J

As far as I know there should not be problem at all. Take old and new HDD and compare the connectors. I hope they are the same. I can just imagine the new HD is not placed properly in the HDD bracket. Be sure the new one is placed as old one after removing it from the notebook.
About max HDD capacity there is no precise info and we can just speculate about it. Try to use search option on this forum. Maybe someone already wrote about HDD upgrade on Sat/Sat Pro M10.
The fact is that Satellite Pro is delivered with 30, 40 and 60 GB HDDs. How many GB has your new HDD?

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

I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard disk. There is a second bay under the computer for another internal hard disk but I have not been able to find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5" SATA drive but I cannot see a connector.
I contacted Dutch Toshiba Customer support who said that it was the official policy not to provide any information about a second hard internal disk. They also said that they would not supply any parts to make it possible.
Can anyone provide some more information?

Hello
I have the same notebook with the same situation. The fact is that covers and the construction for all P200 notebooks is the same but notebooks are delivered with different hardware platforms. Some models are delivered with two HDDs.
Other models (like yours and mine) are delivered with one HDD but without possibility for upgrade with second HDD.

Re: I need to change the CD/DVD drive in my Satellite Pro P200

Hi,
I need to change the DVDRW unit in my Satellite Pro P200, but I'dont know extract the old unit.
Anybody help me??
Thanks.
(Sorry for my english :S ).

To remove the optical drive module, you need to remove the battery and secondary HDD cover first.
In the middle of the bottom cover you would find an black screw which secures the CD/DVD drive.
This screw has to be removed.
In the secondary HDD bay you will find an bracket.
Use your hand to push the module bracket and then slide the module from the bay.
Thats all!
But once again; be careful and if you have no experience, get in contact with an notebook technician!

Satellite Pro P200-150 - Where to get the Win 7 drivers

I have a PC Satellite Pro P200-150 with Vista Business purchased in 10/2007.
I want to change the hard drive to have 250 GB I want to take this opportunity to pass on Windows 7 Home Premium Version.
I'll buy a DVD loading.
My question is: How do I get the drivers, but especially Toshiba utilities?
On the various sites I explored I find driver downloads but not utilities.
Thank you for your response.

I have P200D and Win7 works perfectly on it. You can install Win7 on your machine too.
On Toshiba download page you should be able to find drivers. If some tools or utilities are missing you can try to use stuff offered for P300.
Check a bit this forum. Im pretty sure you can find a lot of threads with similar theme.
If you need more help you are welcome.

My plan to get win7 on 2nd hard drive

Hi all,
I recently bought a new 15" MPB with an apple installed 128gb SSD drive.
My plan was to install a 2nd hard drive in the DVD spot, a 500gb with a 70ish GB win7 partition. I would like to use Win 7 for screencasting for windows tutorials and for Gaming...mostly for gaming
I thought, naively, that this would be a simple boot agent setup...boy was I wrong.
I have already installed the 500gb drive in the optibay, it is working fine
I did not realize that a macbook pro cannot boot to an external drive or dvd. I could be wrong here but all my research seems to indicate that it can't...using something like refit does not fix this problem
I tried going through the boot camp setup with my external dvd drive attached through USB...did not work
also tried a USB thumb drive...no dice
I'd like to avoid having win7 on my 128gb ssd as there is limited space
my current plan is this...if it doesn't make sense or seems wrong please let me know
put the dvd drive back in
make a bootcamp partition on the sad...maybe 35gbs
install win7
if thats working ok put the hard drive back in
use win clone to clone the bootcamp win7 to the hard drive
hopefully that will work...
I'm just not sure how I'm going to partition the drive
I would like a 100gb ntfs partition for windows
and the rest partitioned mac
looks like win clone can expand the image to the larger partition
ipartition seems like it would work for this, but not sure
any ideas on how I can make a ntfs partition on the internal?
can I partition the drive with a windows machine? maybe do the 400gb as exfat?
thanks

Get http://www.virtualbox.org/
It lets you setup your own Windows virtualized disk image anywhere you like it. You'll still need to boot into Mac OS X, but it can run either seemlessly with Windows or full screen if you so desire.
As for booting externally, Mac OS X has no trouble booting on external drives on any MacBook Pro. As for Boot Camp, check with the Boot Camp forum.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
Note, when using external hard drive for anything but backup, how many copies you have of information that is both on the internal and external drive.
There should be at least two separate external copies of all your data somewhere in event one fails.

Can I add a 2nd Hard Drive to my new Pavilion dv6 notebook?

I would like to add a 2nd hard drive (preferably SSD) to my "HP Pavilion dv6-6188ca Entertainment Notebook PC"
I am hoping there is an option to at least replace the DVD drive with a hard drive caddy?
What are my options?
Thanks!

You could put your install disc on a USB Flash drive with Disk Utility. Also, here is the USB optical drive enclosure I bought. He raised the price a few bucks. Mine ran $10.00 with the shipping.

DV7-6c90us 2nd hard drive issues and AMD Radeon Issues

The Problem:
1)My AMD card has always been flakey and I've tried multiple times to uninstall it permanently and can't, it won't let me. I want to remove it completely since I'd rather have access to the extra hard drive than the graphics card.
2) when the card is working then my 2nd HDD won't work, but when the AMD card isn't working then my 2nd HDD works
What I'm Working with:
HP DV7-6c90us
Intel Core i7 2670qm chip
16GB of RAM (I added them, Kensington 1666MHz system underclocked to 1333MHz since that's what the i7 maxes out at)
Then whatever obscure AMD Radeon graphics card came with my system.
Windows 8 Pro
2nd HDD is a 1TB Segate Momentum drive, I pretty much took it from a Travel Drive and put it in my latop
Using the standard power brick that came with my laptop (120W) and battery is almost always at 50% or better)
The laptop is just over a year old (got it 06/08/2012 from HH Gregg)
What I've done:
Checked to make sure the 2nd HDD is installed correctly, it is and is plugged in to port two. It shows up in BIOS, but when you try to test it BIOS hangs. It's not corrupt since when it does decide to work, it works without any issues. It even works when I plug in my USB 3.0 adapter and use it as an external drive. That's not really an option since I am constantly transfering and managing that hard drive so it would be too much of an inconvenience.
I tried uninstalling AMD Radeon completely, but can't. I used a site that showed me what to delete from registry, Program File (x86), User App Data (Local and Roaming), and tried to uninstall it through "Programs and Features" under Control Panel (the Catalyst software). At every reboot it comes back like a virus. I don't need it, nor do I want it since the performance is so spotty and has always been, I do need the 2nd hard drive working again since i use it much more than I do AMD.

You will not like the answer but RAID is not possible on that machine. HP does have RAID function on some of the business models but the Pavilion is a consumer model and they have never had a RAID option on consumer models that I know about. Even if you could set up a RAID-0 array it would wipe out the data on the first drive and you would have to reinstall Windows from scratch and when you do a RAID-0 even on machines that permit it the two drives generally need to be identical, not just similar or the same size.
how is it then that some hp models ship with 2 HDD's but show up as one then eg there is a pavilion that is almost identical to mine sorry i don't know the model # but even more recent there are envy models that have this. or do they actually show as separate drives?

Build-in webcam of Satellite Pro P200-14D is malfunctioning

Hi all
When I install the webcam program - drivers from the site the camera works fine.
When I reboot it doesn't work anymore. When I select the preview mode for photo's or something from the Camera-assistant toolbaar, it tells me that the camera is locked by other software.
I got Vista 32 bit running on a Satellite Pro P200 14-D
Anyone who can help me?
Greetz, Jee

Hi there,
you try the following:
Uninstall the downloaded webcam driver, go to the [Chicony website|http://www.chicony.com.tw/] and download the webcam drivers from there.
After installing them you shouldnt have any problems.
Just give it a try, I will cross my fingers for it. ;)

Satellite Pro P200 PSPB7E - I need some XP drivers

Hi everyone,
First I would like to say this forum is soo great because after battling for a week trying to install XP I got it finally done, however now comes part 2 of the problem :(
Before I installed XP on my system I made sure that I have all the drivers so I went on the Toshiba website and downloaded all the XP drivers. When XP got loaded I could see there were a lot of drivers uninstalled in Device Manager so I installed them. However a few of them remain and I dont know what to do as I've downloaded all of them from the Toshiba website.
I remember before I installed the drivers there were 2 audio required and one of them has installed, I also tried installing the 'Display driver' but I cant because its not letting me run the actual setup file it says the instsallation file being created is more than 88 characters :s never came across this error message before.
So in all I have 3 drivers missing, they are:
Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus - but my sound is working
PCI Memory Controller, and
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
Any ideas to what I could do? THanks

Yes, the forum is really helpful!
Im a regular guest here. Ive got 3 notebooks and I would like to share my knowledge with other users
*Just for note;*
ALL XP drivers are released for this Satellite Pro P200 PSPB7E notebook on the Toshiba European driver page!!!
Furthermore if you would check the Toshiba European drive page you would see that there is a special BIOS update for Win XP!!!!
This would mean that you should update the BIOS if you would like to use the XP on this notebook!
Regarding your driver question;
> Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus - but my sound is working
I've got this yellow exclamation mark too. It's normal with Win XP but if you want check this advice:
You have to install firstly the MS patches: KB835221and KB888111.
Then remove the Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus from device manager and restart the notebook again.
Possibly you will have to install the sound driver again.
> Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
This device requires the graphic card driver
Check if you could use the XP driver released for one of these models:
Equium A200 PSAE8E
Equium A210 PSAENE
Equium P200 PSPB8E
Satellite A200 PSAE6E
Satellite A210 PSAELE
Satellie P200 PSPB6E
Satellite P200 PSPBQE
Satellite Pro P200 PSPB7E
Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7E
> PCI Memory Controller
You need to install the Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver

Satellite PRO P200 (PSPB7E): LAN trouble Resource Conflict - PCI Network

Hey,
I have a Satellite PRO P200 and I have some trouble with the lan. (not the wireless one).
When I plug in the network cable, the system want start at all. The blue power let turns on and that's all tha happens.
If i turn the portable off, unplug the cable and turn it on, it starts, but the network adapter is no longer installed.
I already downloaded the Realtek driver for Vista 32 bits from the website, but no difference.
The driver is actually not recognized as being a right driver for the device. I have select the driver manually from a list (using have disk etc..) to get it installed. After the re-installation all the settings of the network adapter in Vista or gone, it always on dhcp.
I already had a blue screen (vista dump), while installing the device.
And an error:
Resource Conflict - PCI Netword Controller in slot 08
Bus:04, Device:00, Function:00
Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to setup.
I also tried to turn of the lan as third boot device, but it automaticaly turns on again.
I also tried to update the bios to the latets version, it succeeded (no problem at all), but it did not solve my problem.
Any idees?
hardware failure?
I guess it's not possible the switch the lan device?

Hello
I have read many stories here but your one is really unbelievable. I do not know what is wrong there but try to enter BIOS settings and set it to default. After doing this install OS using recovery media.
Now you you will have clean preinstalled OS and your notebook will have factory settings. Please test the LAN card functionality again. If the problem persists you need professional help.

Satellite Pro P200 won't start up

I have a 1 week old Satellite Pro P200, it turned itself off when i was just in the start menu so i wasnt doing anything out of the norm (power cable was plugged in). Since then it simply wont turn on.
With the power cable plugged in I have a blue power, battery and power supply light (although for approx 2 restart attempts the battery light was red, but now blue). The drive light flickers for about 3 seconds each time i try to boot and I can hear something happening inside the machine, but after that 3 seconds....nothing, totally dead.
I have tried removing the battery, waiting 20 minutes or so and none of that has worked. Anybody got any ideas??

Seems to be definitely an hardware problem... very bad :(
Why you don't visit your notebook dealer again and ask for the swap.
Maybe the dealer will exchange the laptop with a new one.
If not, then you will have to contact the authorized service provider in your country for a help.
If you have bought an additional on-site service then the technician will visit you at home and will try to solve this issue.
Good luck
