Re: How to reset Satellite P200-1FC upgraded to 7

Hi there,
Is it possible to reset my Satellite P200-1FC that came with Vista, with the product recovery disc if I have upgraded to windows 7?
The problem is incredibly slow internet connection where other laptops all work fine - is this likely to help anyway?
Many thanks

Hi Tilda,
Yes, its no problem to restore you notebook to factory settings with Toshiba recovery disk. This can be done every time and how often you want and matter what operating system is installed.
So insert the recovery disk and follow the screen instructions to get out of box settings back :)

Satellite P200-1FC: CD/DVD drive will not start - error Code 10

My Satellite P200-1FC was purchased in January 2008 and preloaded with Vista Home Premium. The DVD/CD Drive is listed in device manager as "TSST corp CDDVDW TS-L632H ATA Device".
At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
Clicking check for solutions produces "could not load driver software" but no solution.
Searching similar questions in user forums suggests a use of a Microsoft Help & Support page headed "The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista".
However this involves modifying the registry! As a relative novice I am reluctant to do this unless I can find no easier way.
Must I bite the bullet and and enter this minefield, or is there a better way?

>At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
This error is definitely caused by a wrong registry entry.
I had such error several times ago and I have solved it removing the lower and upper filters from these registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Here are some steps how it worked on my Windows system;
- I removed the CD/DVD drive from the device manager
- Then edited the registry as described above
- Rebooted the notebook
Im sure it will help you too.
Bye

2nd HDD for Satellite P200-1FC

Is is possible to install a 2nd HDD in a Satellite P200-1FC (PSPB6E)? There is an empty bay, but no connector. Is it possible to purchase and install a connector so that a 2nd HDD can be fitted?

Very often discussed theme on this forum!
If there is no connector the upgrade is not possible. Notebook case is for all P200 the same. Some of them are delivered with 2 HDDs. Because of that you have found empty place for second HDD. The mainboard in your notebook is not prepared to work with 2 HDDs.
The same situation is on my P200D.

New Driver Alert 22 May 2008 - Satellite P200-1FC

A TEMPO alert asked me to download vap-20080109135106.zip but when run it I get no further than an error message RegDBGetItem failed (1). Looking in the download I see nothing newer than year 2007. Should I just ignore this 'update'? .....and, yes, I ran the correct button version.

Hello
If you want to install latest version 1.1.7 the preinstalled one must be removed at first. I have installed this version on my Satellite P200D and flash cards are shown much faster than before (old VAP version).
Because of that I recommend you to remove preinstalled version and install version 1.1.7. I have checked Toshiba download page and this version is listed for your Satellite P200-1FC (PSPB6E).
Bye and good luck!

Re: Satellite P200-1FC - What DVD writers are compatible

Toshiba Satellite P200-1FC - need advice as what to buy to replace dvd writer which is not burning.
So going to replace it.
Thank you ricky

Hi
You need an compatible one due to the different master/slave/c-sel settings.
Im not quite sure what drives could be supported but in my user manual which was preinstalled on my notebook (unfortunately not P200) I could find a list of compatible drives. Maybe your user manual contains the similar list
But if you will not find any details about the compatible media in you user manual then you could contact the authorized service provider in your country and could order such ODD.

Satellite P200-1FC - CD/DVD doesn't read disks

I have a Satellite P200-1FC and the "TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D ATA Device won't read CDs or DVDs and don't respond. The device manager shows this device is working properly.
Can you please help?

Hi!
Try to remove the CD/DVD drive from device manger and restart the notebook. Does it work?
If not you should try to remove the upper and lower filters:
1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
4) Reboot.
Bye

Re: Some questions regarding the Satellite P200-1FC

Hi folks,
my trusty laptop has died and I need a new one. The P200-1FC seems to fit the bill, and I have a few questions that I hope this is the right place for.
Is there a hardware switch (or key combo) to inactivate the touch pad? Is there an indicator of the state of the touchpad?
Is there a hardware switch to inactivate the wireless networking components?
Is it possible to add physical memory to the dedicated graphics card?
I know you can filch memory from system to increase that available for graphics operations, but does it make more sense to add system memory or to add graphics memory.
What's the loadout for the system memory slots in base factory config with 2GB RAM? Are there 4 slots or 2? Are they all filled?
Just how difficult is it to "downgrade" the machine to XP? Are there XP drivers available for all the components?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
Im not P200 owner but I will try to answer your questions;
> Is there a hardware switch (or key combo) to inactivate the touch pad?
Yes, the FN+F9 key combination should enable and disable the touchpad!
> Is there an indicator of the state of the touchpad?
Well, in the task bar you should get an notification icon if the touchpad was disabled
> Is there a hardware switch to inactivate the wireless networking components?
Yes, the WLan switch is available at the notebooks side (probably on the front side).
> Is it possible to add physical memory to the dedicated graphics card?
No, the graphic card supports an own local cache memory. The graphic cards support also hyper memory. This hyper memory depends on amount of the main memory. Total Video Memory is sum of local cache and Hyper Memory.
But once again; physical memory cannot be added!
> What's the load out for the system memory slots in base factory config with 2GB RAM? Are there 4 slots or 2? Are they all filled?
There are 2 memory slots and the notebook was delivered with 2x1024MB modules.
The notebook supports max 4GB of memory but as far as I know the Windows 32bit recognizes only 3.02GB because of the 32bit OS limitation!
> Just how difficult is it to "downgrade" the machine to XP? Are there XP drivers available for all the components?
Its not difficult to downgrade the notebook to the XP OS.
On the Toshiba site
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
you should find all XP drivers for the P200 PSPB6

Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
Thanks

Hi
I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

HDD and memory upgrade on Satellite P200-17C

Hi there
I own Satellite P200 17c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2gb. I would like to upgrade it to DDR2 PC2-6400 4gb ram. Can i do that and is there going to be some improvement of the speed if I upgrade to PC2-6400 instead PC2-5300?
On my P200 17c I have 2 HDDs. 2x100gb. I would like to upgrade one of those two HD from 100gb to 320gb 5400 rpm. Can i do that? and is it going to be some difference if I upgrade with HD that has 7200 rpm?
Thank you

First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum RAM capacity of 4GB but please be aware that you wont be able to use the full 4GB due to some chipset limitations which are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm
Regarding the module speed: the chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not enhance your speed when installing faster modules.
If you would like to upgrade your harddisk then just do it like you want, because there shouldnt be any limitations, you can install a drive with 7200rpm together with a slower one.
The only difference will be that the faster drive will be faster. The whole system performance would only raise when youre installing your OS on the faster drive (which is recommendation from my side :) )

After some upgrades on my Satellite P200 cannot use HD-DVD Player

Since I upgraded my PC Satellite P200 (BIOS, Driver ATI HD2600, Package VAP and HD-DVD Player), I can no longer read my HD-DVDs
Error message is: "Unable to send the video to an external device. Please turn off the display device."
I had no problem before the upgrades.
I have no problem with my DVD player on medias.
What happens?
My drive is a HDDVD SD-L802B.

I installed on my PC (P200-1DE / PSPB6E / OS Vista) proposed TEMPO software.
This software referred me to the site Toshiba and proposed several updates to:
- The BIOS (2008)
- HD2600 Drivers ATI card (2008)
- HD DVD Player
- VAP Package
At this time, I try to find the references on the site, but I am surprised ; they are no longer in the "Downloads & Drivers BIOS site TOSHIBA
I downloaded the drivers on my PC.
I can give you the exact references tonight (I write on another PC).
Were there any problems in the proposed updates on the period of November 2007 to the end of February 2008 ...
Besides, the problem of reading the HD DVD, I have not noticed any major problems except perhaps:
- I start a bit slower (It seems to me that this is the connection to the Internet via WiFi, which slowed the start)
- an error when burning a CD
- a problem of installing software as the DVD no longer wanted to stop rotating; I had to stop and to do again PC installation
Do I go back? ...
I made a Ghost of my machine before these updates, but if it is a problem of BIOS, I think I will not be able to do

How to recover only the C drive on a Satellite P200-1FJ

Hi, I have a Satellite P200-1FJ and I want to recover Vista but only on my first partition.
My HDD is divided in 3 partitions and I don't want to loose data. How can I recover only the C partition using the Product Recovery CD that came with my laptop ?

Hi,
There's a specific order in which the downloads will need to be installed. When the flash cards are installed they interact with the Toshiba Product Information tool that is present on the machine; should this not be installed then it will return an error as it thinks the machine is not a Toshiba.
The downloads you need to install (in order) are:
TOSHIBA Value Added Package
TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support Utility
TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password
TOSHIBA SD Memory Utilities
TOSHIBA ConfigFree
TOSHIBA Assist
What I would recommend is removing whatever Toshiba software you have installed first and then try it in that order and see what happens :)
Let me know how you get on,
Regards,
Nukey

How activate bluetooth manager on Satellite P200-1C7

I have installed a bluetooth dongle on my Toshiba Satellite P200- 1C7 so I have downloaded bluetooth manager and bluetooth stack.
Or when I tried to use bluetooth manager it said that it remains 25 days of evaluation.
So I wanted to know how activate bluetooth manager?
If it's not possible, someone can tell me what software can I use (bluesoleil doesn't work).
Thank you very much for your reply.

Hi
The Toshiba Bluetooth stack on the Toshiba website is customized and designed for Toshiba notebooks.
You should use the Bluetooth stack which is customized for your notebook. Then you would not need to activate any BT.
But listen dude; your Satellite P200- 1C7 seems to be NOT equipped with the Toshiba internal BT module!
Therefore you would need to switch to another external solution.

Satellite P200: How do i calibrate monitor to get same colors using Photoshop CS3

How do i calibrate monitor to get print that looks like pic on screen?
I am using Photoshop CS3.
When I get a pic the way I want it on the screen and try to print it, it prints much darker. I could calibrate my iMac monitor for photoshop but can't find a way of doing it with my Satellite P200.
My printer is a Canon ip4300 and I'm using Canon ink and paper.

I think you need additional software and hardware to calibrate yout monitor.

How to obtain drivers for Satellite P200 PSPB6A

Satellite P200 PSPB6A-OCSO4M.
I have not updated drivers since I purchased the laptop seveal years.
Didn't know I had to - pardon ignorance.
How do I go about it please?

Hi
Its not necessary to update any drivers (except of Windows security patches) if everything is running properly!!!
Why you want to update the driver? Just because newer version is available???
My notebook is three years old I install only the Windows patches and fixes. I dont touch any drivers because I follow always this; never touch a running system ;)
PS: Your notebook seems to belong to Toshiba Australian series and therefore the drivers should be available on Toshiba Australian page.
