HDD recovery at Satellite A200-23J

Is here somebody who knows if Satellite A200-23J has a HDD recovery incorporated ?

You can check it if you start your notebook and press F8. Notebooks with HDD recovery can be recovered as described > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
If you have this repair my computer and Toshiba recovery option I presume you can do this.
Anyway, what I know is that Satellite A200 notebooks were not delivered with HDD recovery option. Not all of them, maybe last generation only.
Have you option to create recovery installation disc?

  • Satellite A200-23j: Tempro issue

    Hi,

    It crashes with window "Toshiba Tempro is closed. Windows can try to find solve in Internet. Close program".

  • I want to make three HDD partitions on Satellite A200-1GB

    Hi all,
    Yesterday night I noticed that there is a small sound comes out when Hard disk is being read. The sound same as the Desktop Hard disk sound. In desktop HDD's that's normal.
    I thought that Notebook's HDD doesn't sound like that even it has the same technology of Desktop HDDs.
    Is that also normal thing?
    The other thing is I thought to divide my second partition (D drive) in two partitions because I can have separate three partitions then.
    If I do it using Disk management will it give any matters?
    In desktop PC's I have done many operations on HDD's with Win XP but I have no experience on notebooks. is there any difference between desktops and notebooks running WXP?
    I hope to divide my second partition (93 GB) in two as 45GB & 45GB.
    Can anyone give idea about this and is any body have done this operation?

    My notebooks HDD makes a loud sound and since 2 years it has been running ok.
    I presume its nothing serious due to the fact that the A200 is not an old series and the HDD is new.

    No everything should works. But I think XP OS is not able to create an HDD partition. You will have to use an 3rd party program like Partitions Magic 8 for example.

    No feel free to create an partition.

    Use the Partitions magic 8

  • Can I use additional internal HDD for my Satellite A200-1A9?

    Hello, new to these forums,
    I recently bought the A200-1A9 and I'm very pleased with it. I was interested in adding an additional internal HDD to the exisitng 120 GB one . I obviously didn't do enough research as I bought a Toshiba MK2035GSS: 2.5" HDD 200 GB thinking it would slot right in the spare slot and it doesn't.
    So really I'm looking for some advice on if I can add an extra internal drive and if so what model and how. After taking of the back slot cover there does look to be room for another drive although I'm not sure if the correct connections are there or maybe if the space is used for somthing else.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin
    As far as I know some A200 models are delivered with 2 HDDs. because of that Toshiba make standard notebook chassis. All A200 models use this standard chassis. Your A200 is delivered with just one HDD and because of that place for second HDD is empty. This does not mean you can use second HDD.
    I have the same notebook as you and in my case there are no any HDD connectors prepared for second HDD.

    i never made restore disks because i had this feature..
    What happens when you need to replace the hard drive? Remember, there are only two kinds: Those that have failed and those that will fail.

  • Cannot start recovery installation on my Satellite A200-28P

    I am trying to restore my Toshiba laptop Satellite A200-28P (Windows Vista Home) using the product recovery disk supplied with the laptop, no matter what I try to do I cannot get it to run, the only thing it will allow me to do is restore the laptop to an earlier date. I have full admin rights on the laptop, there are no virus's or any other malware on it, all this seems to have happened since it updated with windows vista about two days ago, have uninstalled the updates but that had no effect.
    I cannot find the recovery console any where on the laptop yet I know it was there before. I have tried many of the solutions found on the web but none of them work. I did use the recovery disc about 2 1/2 years ago when the laptop crashed and it worked fine then.
    Any help apprecited

    I cannot remember anymore how it was with A200.
    Have you got recovery DVD only or you were also able to start HDD recovery installation using F8 at start up (Advanced boot options > Repair my computer)?
    Anyway, your problem description confuses me.
    If you use recovery DVD as bootable disc there is no repair console or some options.
    When recovery installation starts you can just see menu where you must click on next.
    Please check my lats posting on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61124
    Can you see the same when notebook starts to read recovery disc?

  • Satellite A200-10X: How to partitioning the HDD

    Hi there guys!
    I have a pro with my satellite A200-10X, it has only one HDD volume, and i want to make them two... and everytime i use the product recovery CD, it formats the HDD... but i do not know how to partition the HDD two get two volume spaces...
    and whats worse is that when i keep on doing that over and over it eats the HDD free space... so how can i partition the HDD and recover the 200GB space the computer originally have?
    i appreciate your help ..
    thanx

    Hello Sherif
    If you use delivered recovery media you have follow options:
    1. the whole HDD capacity can be used for partition C
    2. the HDD capacity can be split and you can create two partitions
    When you use both options Vista will create 1,4 GB partition but this partition will not be visible when you use OS.
    If you want to have two partitions (C and D) start recovery procedure and after choosing the language use SETUP button on the right side. In the middle of the screen occurs small window and there you can set how much capacity should be reserved for partition C. when the recovery procedure is finished and Vista starts open Computer Management.
    On the left side choose Disk Management. After doing this on the left side you will see partition marked as black. This is second partition but still not visible. Click there with right mouse button and choose option to create logical drive. Follow the setup procedure.
    After few steps this partition will be set as logical drive and after formatting it will be visible in Vista Explorer.
    If you have more questions please post again.
    Bye

  • Questions about recovery discs and partitioning Satellite A200-QH0

    I bought a Satellite A200-QH0 model in Australia and due to lack of forums in our country I'd like to ask some questions here if that's ok.
    The notebook contains 3 partitions - a 1.6GB "EISA Configuration" partition, the large OS partition, and the recovery partition. So I've made the recovery DVD??s using the Recovery Disc Creator tool as we aren't supplied with an actual disc. But I would like to know what these discs will do? My questions:
    1. Will they truly return the hard drive back to _exactly_ how it was including the partition layout and pre-installed software?
    2. Will the recovery DVDs work even if the drive has been repartioned? I would like to split the system partition to give space for data files etc. But will this extra partition stop the recovery procedure working properly?
    Please understand that I'm not interested in reformatting the entire drive. I just want to split the OS partition. But in case I have to replace the drive in the future or something I'd like to know how close to "original" these discs will get me, no matter what I do to the drive?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi
    Im not 100% sure how the recovery works on the Toshiba Australian notebooks but I presume the Recovery CD contains the Toshiba image with the Windows OS, drivers, tools and utilities.
    I think if you would use the Recovery CD then the whole HDD will be formatted and all partitions will be erased.
    I think the recovery partition will be not created using the recovery CD because the recovery CD was already created so the recovery partition is not necessary anymore
    Regards

  • Satellite L745D-S4214 Does not boot; HDD recovery partition not working

    I tried to apply the recent windows 7 updates and my laptop no longer boots.  I tried to press F12 and select the HDD Recovery partition, but it does not boot regardless.  There is a message that it does not communicate to a specific device.  I believe the address called out was 0xc0000e9, but I am going by memory.  I never created a recovery CD because I thought I was covered by the HDD partitions.  This was purchased on 10/26/2012, so it should still be under warranty.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi I'm going to assume that your recovery works like mine and that the recovery partition is still good and not corrupted.
    Shut down your PC. Press F12 and select HDD recovery. Click enter. This should start the recovery from the hidden recovery partition.
    PS I would advise you to make the recovery discs or USB recovery Try this first.
    Perform a power cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with boot problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery).
    Unplug all wires or peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Try starting the computer.
    If your laptop starts normally now, you're done!

  • Satellite A200-1S5 - Can I use a second HDD and RAID?

    Hi all,
    Is Toshiba Satellite A200-1S5 eligible for adding a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as far a I know - could it help?
    Thanks,
    Denis

    The Satellite A200-1S5 does NOT support RAID!!!
    But some A200 could use two HDDs (but NOT RAID!!!) There are different A200 models which supports different hardware specifications.
    Therefore you can find the second bay at the bottom of the unit.
    But if there is no connector for second HDD then this means that there is no second HDD controller and you cannot use second HDD in this A200!!!

  • After HDD exchange Satellite A200-1YW began to turn off

    Hi!
    I have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1YW.
    After changing the hard drive (company) I got my notebook repaired, but a day later he began to turn off the notebook Connected to the power.A When the battery is not off, or When it is plugged in the bios ...
    someone help ??...
    ps. I know not Whether it's a good rating so sorry
    ps. sorry for mistakes but I am Polish and I do not know English well: (

    Hmmm... the whole think is pretty strange.
    Fact is that HDD exchange should not have any negative influence and not be reason for these shut downs. I have done this numerous times on different models and Ive never noticed something like this.
    In my opinion there must be some other reason.
    What I am missing in your first posting is exact explanation when this happen exactly .
    When the OS will be loaded or later?

  • Which HDD-brand is usually build into a Satellite A200-29L originally?

    Hello there, im new here.
    I got a question for you, maybe someone here can help me with this.
    I got an old, used Toshiba Satellite A200 29L here and i ask myself which harddrive i supposed to be in this when bought originally.
    The notebook is atleast 5 years old, probably even older.
    At the moment there is a Fujitsu harddrive with 250 GB in it, but i wanted to know if this is the laptops original harddrive with which it was sold back then in store.
    The reason i ask myself this question is that this notebook has been with me for a while and i can't remember if i ever changed the harddrive of it or not. This problem gets more aggravated as i just found a 500 GB harddrive of the company Toshiba here and i can not remember of which notebook i would have removed that.
    I found this (might be in german):
    http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-p...lite-a200-29l/
    Here it is written that this notbook comes with a 250GB harddrive (although the manufacturer of it is not mentioned).
    On the other hand:
    http://www.amazon.de/TOSHIBA-Satelli.../dp/B00518EOKI
    Based on this link it seems that there are official 500 GB harddrives for this notebook as well.
    I know this might be a strange question, but i am pretty sure that some of you got an answer for me here
    Thank you in advance and best regards.

    Maybe it sounds stupid now but it is not possible to find such information. All we can find is the HDD capacity. In the notebook specification is not mention which brand is the HDD.
    Maybe someone with identical notebook model can help you.
    Anyway, you can exchange or upgrade HDD anytime you want. All you need is SATA HDD (SATA connector).
    Satellite A200 is pretty old notebook model but what you can do is to upgrade it with SSD and install Win7 32bit. Believe me you will be surprised how fast this old piece of hardware can be.

  • Satellite L670 - System HDD Recovery does not start

    Hello together,
    I have a problem with my Laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32bit.
    Now I want to restore the original Windows Home Premium. On the laptop is a second partition with a folder named "HDD-Recovery".
    When i hold the "0" button on start nothing happens. The System Recovery doesnt start.
    Can you help my fix the problem.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hello together,
    please read until end before starting recovery! After searching all the web I found a method to reset a Toshiba satellite L500-1UR to factory settings. Before I want to describe the approach I will summerize my starting situation.
    I got the laptop from my brother. The boot manager was changed while another Windows Version was installed. So the option Toshiba HDDRecovery in the options of "repair computer" or the option itself after pressing F8 at boot time wasn't available. Fortunately, he didn't delete the "HDDRecovery" folder on its DATA partition, so all factory images were available. To install I needed a method to apply an image installation. This is possible with the Windows 7 recovery CD you can download it for example [here|http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/applications/2659-windows-7-32-bit-x86-recovery-disc.html] .
    Boot this CD, start a command prompt. The way to do this is described [here|http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/668-system-recovery-options.html] .
    At command prompt you change to the partition with the HDDRecovery folder. At my brothers laptop it was:
    D:\HDDRecovery
    In a sub-folder you will find the command line tool "imagex". At my brothers laptop it was located in:
    D:\HDDRecovery\ODDFiles\Tools
    On the other hand, you need the image files. These files were located in
    D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\
    and ended with .swm . swm-files are splited wim-files, the Microsoft format for image files. For your problem you must locate your "imagex" and your swm-files. On my brothers laptop there were 6 files
    10656XSP.swm
    10656XSP2.swm
    10656XSP3.swm
    10656XSP4.swm
    10656XSP5.swm
    10656XSP6.swm
    Now, the recovery is very easy:
    change to folder were imagex is located. Here
    D:
    cd D:\HDDRecovery\ODDFiles\Tools
    1. format the WINDOWS partition (mostly C:) on the command line with
    format /fs:ntfs /q /V:WINDOWS
    2. Apply recovery image to C: with the command, for my brothers laptop:
    imagex /ref D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP*.swm /apply D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP.swm 2 C:\
    the option /ref says imagex the location of the splitted images, expressed with a wildcard
    the option /apply says imagex the location of the first image
    the number "2" represents the second image inside of the swm-files, here the image for the WINDOWS partition
    C:\ says imagex on which partition it should apply the image.
    Perhaps your SYSTEM partition has to be reset to, so you have to do the same steps for it. I did it without formating it by:
    imagex /ref D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP*.swm /apply D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP.swm 1 C:\
    WARNING: I found out the image number by executing:
    imagex /ref D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP*.swm /apply D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP.swm * C:\
    The use of the wildcard (*) led to an error, so the command throw an XML-File plot were I found the correct image number for the partitions.
    Now you have write back the factory image to your partition(s). Perhaps it is necessary to reinstall the bootmanager. If you get the error:
    "NO BOOTMGR"
    at startup, you have to use the recovery CD a second time. Now, you can choose the option
    "Startup Repair" in the same menu where you found the option "Command Prompt".
    It will find out that no bootmanager is installed and will repair it.
    So, I hope I could help anyone.
    Last but not least, this describtion comes without warranty. I am not responsible for any errors or faults or lost data of your HDD. Please backup your important data to e.g. an external storage.

  • "No HDD Recovery Area" on my Satellite 350D

    I think I might have messed something up, and I know it's not too big of a deal if I don't mess up my computer, but I just want to be sure. I believe I have deleted the recovery partition. I have four in my Disk Management tool.
    NO NAME (it's just blank here) - Healthy (EISA Configuration)
    (D:) - Healthy Primary Partition (this one had nothing in it, so I started using it for my music files)
    New Volume - Healthy (Logical Drive) - this is another one that i formated, never knew what was in it. I don't use it anymore, I removed the drive letter and it's not doing anything.
    S3A6555D004 (C:) - Healthy (System, boot, page file... etc)
    When I click on the recovery disk creator, I get this error:
    "No HDD Recovery Area!
    The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator can not be launched."
    Is there anything I can do to repair this? My laptop is a Satellite 350D, and I don't know what I can do to fix this.
    Thanks!

    Sascha is absolutely right. There is no recovery partition and this partition is also not hidden as meny people think. One your sentence is very interesting:
    >(D:) - Healthy Primary Partition (this one had nothing in it, so I started using it for my music files)
    The Toshiba recovery image is always saved on second (D) partition in folder called HDDRecovery and if this folder is removed or deleted you will not be able to create recovery DVD or start HDD installation.
    So the best thing you can do is to order new Toshiba recovery DVD.

  • Help to find the driver of controller HDD on Satellite A200 (PSAE6)

    Greetings. This text has been written through a translation program, try to understand :)
    Problem:
    My friend has bought couple of days back to itself TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (PSAE6) where it has been established OS Windows Vista Home. It has asked me to change OS on Windows XP Pro. With the first problem I have consulted - have removed Vista, but to establish XP it is not possible because of absence of the driver of controller HDD in distribution kit OS. Windows Installer cannot find HDD. I read that it is necessary to load this driver during installation, pressing of key F6. But a problem that I cannot find the driver in that.
    We do not have disk with drivers which should go complete with a computer and consequently it is necessary to search independently on the Internet. On site Toshiba to find the driver it was not possible. Then I have come on site Intel and download "RAID/AHCI - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager ". Having unpacked I have received archive only "infinst_autol.exe".
    Question:
    Where I can download such driver (not a format "EXE") which can be used at installation WinXP?
    PS: a chipset - Intel PM965 Express
    Thanks

    Intel matrix storage manager from Intel download web.
    Find your chipset, download and run. It will install in some dir. drivers.
    Must remember that you will must made your own XP installation with drivers.
    enjoy
