Error restoring satellite pro A200-ez2205X

I tries to reload software by using the disks I made off of computer. I recieved an error stating my machine wasn't a satellite pro. I recently found directions how to reload software from my hard drive. I then recieved a screen saying Wrong Machine! Now I can not use my computer. How do I fix this or who do I need to call?

Have you had your machine serviced recently? What you are experiencing is the data in the DMI strings do NOT match that in the repair disks/partition. Generally speaking, I've seen this when a system board has been replaced and the repair center did not reflash the system's DMI. It's not supposed to affect the system, but have you flashed a BIOS yourself recently? A repair center is likely the only way to get the DMI reflashed.

    You can use either the HDD recover or the Recovery disk.
    If HDD recover does not work and if you dont have the disk then you could order this here:

    Hi
    >I tried to repair the Winsock using Microsofts articles with no luck
    I assume you are meaning this MS knowledge base article:
    [How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows Vista|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259]
    Well, I searched a little bit around and found out that the solution described on 811259 article doesnt help in all cases
    So searched on 3rd party website and someone has suggested to try this advice.
    Its also from Microsoft:
    *[How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357 ]*
    So check it out maybe it helps
    If not, then you might be forced to reinstall your OS because the repair option is not included in the Toshiba recovery CD ;(

    > I've got Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7 with ATI HD2600 Mobility Radeon. I've downgraded to XP SP2. I get blue screen saying that ati2dvag went infitive loop quite constantly. Any solution to this?
    Usually the BSOD appears due to the serious software issue or hardware malfunction.
    In my opinion its a software (driver) issue.
    I presume the BSOD appears why playing some games in most cases the graphic driver must be updated.
    If the XP driver from the Toshiba page will not help you could try the graphic drivers from the www.omegadrivers.net site. The 3rd party drivers should run on your notebook. But note; 3rd party drivers can be used only at your own risk!
    > Why standard display drivers from ati.com do not work? (While on my friends laptop with also hd2600 mobility radeon works fine).
    The original ATI drivers cannot be installed on a easy way because such drivers dont support an overheating protection. The Toshiba GPU drivers are a little bit modified and support an overheating protection. Such protection is necessary and important because the notebook graphic cards are not equipped with huge cooling module like the GPUs on for the desktop PCs.
    The temperature increases on the notebooks much faster and therefore the graphic driver have to control the GPU performance to decrease the internal temperature.
    Therefore its always advisable and recommended to use the Toshiba drivers ;)

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

    Hello everyone,
    I received my Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) laptop with a Vista OS.
    I have made a fresh & clean XP installation on it using the Toshiba's installation instructions document.
    Everything is working fine except my Fn+F6 Fn+F7 Fn+F8 hotkeys for Wireless and screen brightness.
    I have made a few search over the internet and I found that page :
    - http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7401VB0003R01.htm
    Looks like that I need to setup "common module" installer in order to make work those hotkeys.
    But the problem is that the "common module" is not available on the driver page for XP ....
    If I change the OS type to Vista there is "Value Added Package" available but it's not compatible on XP ...
    I tried to download and setup a "common module" for Sat Pro A120 model but i got an "TVALZ" error during the installation ....
    Did Toshiba support forget to put online a "common module" installer for XP for Sat Pro A200 ??
    How can I make work my Fn+F6 Fn+F7 Fn+F8 hotkeys ?
    Any help will be really appreciated !
    Thanks,

    Hello darkmatterman,
    First of all thanks for you reply and for your tips about the Bios version (Vista vs XP).
    The first day I received my laptop on Vista OS, I already made a Bios update "the Vista compatible one". So my Bios is v1.70 actually.
    I will try monday morning to update the latest XP compatible Bios version which is v5.20...
    Do you know if it's possible to apply the latest XP bios upgrade on a bios which was already been upgraded with a Vista compatible version ?
    And if the XP comptabile Bios upgrade works, do you think that I will need to setup my fresh XP again (with all Toshiba drivers & utils setup order...) ?
    Regards,
    Can

  • XP via RIS installation on 32 Satellite Pro A200 laptops

    Hi,
    Can anyone help? I'm trying to install 32 laptops (Satellite Pro A200) via Windows 2003 Server Remote Installation Services. I've got past the problems with network cards and now have these working by adding the drivers into a $OEM$, $1, Drivers, Nic folder and thought that it might be simple to use the same solution to install the drivers for the SATA controller. How wrong could I be! I'm now pulling my hair out. The machines have the drivers installed in the same way ($OEM$ etc) in a directory marked sata. I have used the drivers from Intel's site - extracted to floppy disk and copied from there. Every time I try to re-image I get the same error "Windows did not detect any hard disk drives" and it's driving me crazy! I have edited risstnrd.sif, textsetup.oem etc etc to no avail.
    I found a link on Toshiba's German site for downloading drivers in this situation but the link is pretty slow I've tried to download those drivers now from three separate locations (3 different ADSL accounts) and each one starts off at about 36k per sec then dwindles down to bytes per second and then fails. (It's only a 21Mb file!)
    Has anyone managed to deploy these laptops via RIS? If so can you please let me know how you did it and what drivers you used?
    Many thanks,

    Hello Mark
    In my opinion RIS installation is pretty complicated theme and I am really skeptic someone will be able to help you. If you have some time try to use advanced search and check the results for RIS as searched term.
    Other way you can create your own recovery DVD and use it for OS installation. For recovery procedure you need about 20 minutes.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Supervisor Password Utility Setup fails

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I started installing the various drivers and utilities downloading them from the Toshiba site.
    When I try to install the "Supervisor Password Utility" the setup fails showing a message box which says "The serial number is invalid".
    Same problem with another setup: "Flash Cards Support Utility"
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem and which serial number is invalid?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    Hi,
    You are having the same trouble as other people on these forums.
    If you want to fix it yourself, you would need to look at the disk image on the disk that came with your toshiba, figure out which version of the application was included on that, you might be able to find that version on the website for a different model and different country (for instance, on the canadian website, for a totally different computer than my UK computer, i found a version of the flashcards support utility that works with mine.) But i don't think its possible to see what's on the restore disk without instaling it, i.e. wiping everything off your harddrive in the process.
    It really is extremely disappointing and frustrating. If anyone knows a way to communicate directly with toshiba about this problem without having to pay some sort of support fee, I would be very interested to hear about it. It seems noone from toshiba actually reads anything from these forum. It seems like a real wasted resource to me....

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Hard Drive has lost half it's memory

    I have a toshiba Satellite Pro A200 running Vista. Vista came preloaded and I don't have any discs for it. I have had it since new (Sept 2007). The hard drive is split into drives. Recently my C drive has competely filled up and I now have no space left (55gigs gone) I store no data in this drive. All my media (music, photos, other files) is in my E drive. I have to run C Cleaner each time I boot up in order to have enough space to operate the computer. I also have to delete all but the most recent restore point in order to function.
    I am at my wits end and think I must have a virus or something. Is there a way to restore the computer to 'new'? I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive so I don't mind starting from scratch. Bearing in mind I have no install discs as Vista came pre-loaded.
    Can anyone help????? please!

    If you don't have any disc and if you didn't get any disc with your notebook that means your notebook was delivered with HDD recovery image and this image is saved on second HDD partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
    Recovery disc can be created using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator. I don't know if you still have all this.
    The whole story with HDD is somehow strange to me. If your notebook has two partitions and partition C is full I am asking myself what is with second partition. It must be pretty empty.
    What is capacity of second HDD partition?
    What is free space on this second partition?
    You wrote about E drive. What is E drive?
    You must understand that nobody of us know what are you doing exactly, what programs are installed on your notebook. You wrote about no saving data on partition C. Maybe you are wrong about it. Maybe you download many torrents and they are saved somewhere on HDD. who knows?
    Do you have some friends with good PC knowledge? Try to find someone who can take a look onto preinstalled system and check what is going wrong there.

  • Satellite Pro A200 Windows XP, 4Gb SDHC Card does not work.

    Hi,
    I have had a Satellite Pro A200 installed with Windows XP, SP2 for some time - No problems there, a great piece of kit. However I recently have bought a new camera and splashed out on a Kingston 4Gb SDHC card. The manual for my A200 seemes to indicate that it my laptop is compatible with SDHC cards to 4Gb however when I push the card in the LED flashes blue briefly and then nothing happens. My SDHC card does not appear to be recognised by the system.
    I see no errors in my OS event log and I have checked the slots operation by trying an older 512Mb SD card and that works fine.
    Can anybody offer any help please?
    For reference this laptop is a Model PSAE4E A200.
    Many Thanks in advance

    If the above fix does not work (which it didn't for me on a Satellite Pro A100 running XP), try

  • Satellite Pro A200-1NB - Can I use Windows 7 64bit?

    Thanks for reply
    Mario

    Hi buddy,
    Youre right. According the Toshiba European driver download for Windows 7 64bit are not all drivers available. I have checked the downloads for Vista 64bit and therefore all drivers you need are available.
    Vista and Windows 7 drivers are similar so you can try to use the Vista 64bit drivers. The most Vista drivers also work on Windows 7.
    Furthermore if something will not work you can use other drivers from Satellite A300 for example. This notebook supports Windows 7 64bit and the drivers should be similar I think.
    Good luck! :)

  • Product recovery problems on Satellite Pro A200

    Hi
    I have a Satellite Pro A200. It is running very slowly and sometimes it freezes up when I log on.
    Also the homepage has been hijacked and I have tried several anti spyware programs and they have not worked.
    I have the product recovery disc but the problem the DVD rom drive has stopped working.
    The light is on but it will not open unless I use the manual release.
    I have removed it and checked the connections but it seems o.k.
    The DVD/CD rom has disappeared from the device manager and does not show up under hardware.
    I have tried system restore but this also will not work.
    Is there anyway you can use the product recovery software if you boot from a USB key?
    I have tried restarting the computer and choosing boot from CD but it will not give me that option.
    I have looked in the bios and the only boot options that it gives are harddrive, CD rom, land and FDD

    > Is there anyway you can use the product recovery software if you boot from a USB key?
    No, this Toshiba Recovery disk cannot be copied to USB flash memory stick and used for OS installation. Im afraid this would not work.
    But if youve got an Microsoft Windows CD you should be able to create an bootable USB flash memory stick. In internet you will find many useful step by step instructions how to create such bootable USB stick.
    But booting from USB flash memory stick should be definitely possible since the BIOS supports following bootable devices:
    USB FDD, HDD, ODD, Network(LAN), USB Memory

  • Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista installed/dual boot possible?

    Hi,
    I am not sure if I am right here at XP OS but I post it as it is OS related.
    My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) runs smoothly with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.
    Basically I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on one system. *But*, Satellite Pro A200 notebooks are shipped with a BIOS for XP and one for Vista and with information that you have to install the correct one. For me this means that you have to install BIOS for XP when running XP and BIOS for Vista when running Vista.
    Question:
    Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and having so XP BIOS installed?
    Boot loader would be Acronis OSS as this loader already manage my two XP partitions.
    Many thanks for any information!
    Best regards,
    Andreas

    Hi
    In my opinion there are no serious reasons why you shouldnt be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.
    Ok there are different BIOS for Vista 64bit, 32bit and Win XP but your Vista should run also using the BIOS for Win XP.
    Ive got other Satellite notebook series and Im able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean Ive got a choice to boot either the XP or Vista ;) and Im still using the old BIOS version.
    Ok some functions are not available like FN keys but this is not very important for me.
    Well, to cut this story I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro A200

    Have two Satellite Pro A200 #PSAE1E-00T002EN laptops and wanted to know if I can upgrade the 2 x 1GB memory to 2 x 2GB?

    As I understand you request, you want to upgrade the notebooks memory to 4GB.
    Well, I think its not possible.
    The Satellite Pro A200 supports max 2GB RAM (2 x 1GB) so you will be not able to use 2 x 2GB modules.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • What internal HD can I use on my Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E-01700EN5

    I need to replace my laptop's broken internal HD. I was wondering, what internal HD can I get for Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E-01700EN5?
    The only one available for me to order for cheap is 250Gb large, but will my laptop support it? I had 80Gb previously.

    I don't understand why you think your notebook is old generation. Between your A200 and my A300 is not much difference.
    Both use the same HDD. My Satellite A300 has maybe other hardware platform and thats all.
    I am 100% sure you can use 250 GB HDD in your Satellite A200.

Maybe you are looking for
