Satellite Pro A210 OS problems

Early Nov 2014 my Satellite Pro A210-EZ2203X started experiencing major malfunctions.
1. CD/DVD drive stopped working and disappeared from the “Computer” menu.
2. I checked the Bios and it showed there is “no CD/DVD”. After that, my cmptr froze up, the keyboard would not work, no mouse would work.
3. I took it to be serviced. They got it running but apparently installed a copy of W XP from Dell because there are 2 folders; DELL; DECCHECK, existing on the C Drive. I purchased and installed an internal CD/DVD drive of the same style and manufacture year as my existing one. It is not recognized by the cmptr either.
4. To date the Bios still does not show a CD/DVD drive. Currently the cmptr will boot from a USB portable DVD disk, however. The cmptr does recognize the portable USB DVD drive I purchased after I got it back from the repair shop.
5. Previously I had purchased a retail version of W 7 Pro. This included 32 and 64 bit disks. My goal was to install the 64 bit version on my Satellite Pro A210 which I believe is possible. However, every time I tried to start the installation a message appeared telling me that “This version of Windows is not compatible with the 32 bit system. Please insert the proper disc.” Or something similar. The cmptr will not allow me to install the 64 bit version.
6. After several attempts to install the 32 bit W 7 version I got it to install. I could not format the hard disk(as far as I know) but could only “custom install” the 32 bit W 7 version. Even after installing W 7 the Dell folders remain (presume because they are system folders).
7. Can I install a W 7, 64 bit version on my A210? Do I need to install drivers from Toshiba first (what drivers)? Do I need to reformat the hard disk? How?
8. HELP!!

Satellite Pro A210-EZ2203X (PSAFHU-011002)
Downloads are here.
The following ODDs will work.
V000100710 - V000100850 - V000102290 - V000101190 - V000100700 - V000102040 - V000101200
If your part number is not one of those, google for prices.
Don't mess with 64-bit Windows! If it would install, it would even run slower.
You should remove and recreate/format the partition during installation.
You will need essentially all of the drivers and utilities at the download site above to make that laptop operate as designed. The order of installation matters. Be sure to install the AMD display driver prior to any other driver. It puts the chipset software in place. Install the TVAP before any other Toshiba utility.

Satellite Pro A210 - Doesn't go into standby

I have a Satellite Pro A210 with Windows XP installed.
For the past serveral months i have had the issue where I cannot change the power scheme options. Any changes I made would just go back to default after a certain amount of time. When I recently tried to fix it I noticed people saying to install Toshiba Common Module and Toshiba Power Saver. I have installed both but now my system wont go into stand by mode (when closing the lid on my computer as well as going to start-shutdown-stand by)
The settings seem to be setup correctly in the power save application and i am using the Toshiba Power Saver power scheme. I tried to unistnall Power saver and it still does not allow me to go into stand by. I cannot install Common Module because it does not show up in add/remove programs.
Any Ideas? I am getting tired of having to shut down the pc every time I have to transport it. :)
Stephen

Hi
Listen buddy. The Common Modules will not appear in add remove programs.
You can install it executing the exe file.
But in my opinion its nothing wrong with power saver or common modules.
In my opinion your Windows OS is muddled up some and somewhere registry keys and other files are corrupt and therefore the power saver does not function as it should.
I assume everything worked properly some days ago. Right?
Maybe an update or an installation of some applications muddled up the OS who knows
You can try to clean the registry and OS using CCleaner. Its free tool.
If this doesnt help then I dont see many solution proposals as to reinstall the OS

Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - freezes after sleep/hibernate

I have a Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE running dual boot Windows XP/7
Using Windows 7 - either 32 or 64 - the system always freezes after sleep/hibernate.
This never happens with XP which sleeps and hibernates OK..
There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
I like System 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate I will revert to XP.

Hi
> There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
Sorry mate but you are wrong.
All Win 7 drivers for Satellite Pro A210 are released on the Toshiba European driver page I recommend checking it again
Since this issue does not appear using Win XP, I can say for sure that this has nothing to do with the hardware but its a software related issue
I recommend updating the graphic card driver
Furthermore there is a new BIOS for Sat Pro A210 PSAFHEits v2.0
Check if you are using the latest version

Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working - error code 39

Hi All
My Satellite Pro A210 dvd drive is not loading.
When I looked into it it showed an error code 39.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Hi
From my knowledge the error message 39 appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in the My Computer.
You can try this workaround:
Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
Then go to registry (regedit) and remove the upper and lower filters from the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the unit and test it again
I think this should help!

Can't install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HDD

Hello,
My HDD has died, so i decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660-1D9 to an SSD.
I made a bootable USB with Win8, and booted just fine.
The problem is that it does not detect my SSD so i can proceed with the install.
SSD shows up in BIOS, but not in Windows install.
It says there's a driver missing.
I downloaded AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even then, after selecting the only driver that appears, it says no new devices found.
I tried changing SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility mode and it's the same..
What can i do?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Bruno Moreira

Older Windows XP required an AHCI driver from Intel but I think this isnt a missing SATA driver issue because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers in order to recognize the HDD or SSD drive.
Furthermore the OS installation should be possible even if the driver would not be added... for this procedure you have to use the "compatibility mode".
As you said, the compatibility mode did not work too, so I think there is another problem.
However, Toshiba driver page provides also an Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) driver (Windows 8 - Upgrade) which you could try to add while OS installation.
But Im wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
Did you try to format the SSD drive using another computer and then to install Win 8?
Try it out.

Some devices are not installed correctly on Satellite Pro A200

I have Satellite Pro A200 psae7e. and I have also a problem with PCI memory controller, Modem device on high definition audio bus, mass storage controller because they're marked yellow in device manager.
My lap works fine... sata works fine, graphic controller & etc. Everything in natural order. but I don't want yellow icons in device manager.
How to resolve this problem. I've installed all drivers, but there's still that yellow icons appearing.
And could someone tell's me what is PCI memory controller? Is that shared memory?

The PCI memory controller is Intel Turbo Memory also called Intel Flash cache logic chip
Its a new technology designed to support new Vista capabilities.
There is no driver for it for Windows XP, because XP doesnt support the cache function.
The Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller component supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) AC adapter device objects that the operating system uses to manage power resources.
Seems you BIOS does not support this!
Update the BIOS to the XP version!

Cannot install WinXP on Satellite Pro A200 - No HDD

Hi,
Please can someone help me. I've just brought 52 Satellite Pro A200 laptops. They come with Vista pre-installed, but I want to wipe them and install Windows XP. However I have a big problem - when I put my XP CD in and boot from it and click Enter to continue, it tells me that the Installation cannot continue as Windows found no hard drives (although I can boot in Vista so I know the HDD are ok).
Thanks for looking,
Matt Courtman

I too had the HDD problem. Its because there are no drivers on the XP CD for SATA hard drives. What you have to do is use some free software called NLite and merge the SATA drivers with the files off the XP CD. (It really is ace). Available at
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/nLite.shtml
Read this page it tells you exactly how to do it.(
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Windows-XP-On-SATA-Without-a-Floppy-F6-47807.shtml). If I can manage it then anyone can. Using the NLite software you copy the contents of your XP CD to your hard drive. Then you download the SATA drivers (available from the tosh site), then you integrate the drivers with your XP CD files. Finally you create an ISO image and burn it to CD. When you then boot off your new CD and install XP, it detects the SATA drive. Hey Presto!!!

Satellite Pro A210 - How to recover it with misplaced recovery disk`?

I have been having some problems with my Satellitte Pro A210, (AMD Athlon 64 x2, Vista, 120GB HDD, 2GB RAM), and it seems that I have made recovery discs when new and have misplaced them.
What can I do?

What you can do? Good question.
If you don't have original Toshiba installations disc you have two options either order new one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or use Microsoft installations disc. All drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support and download page.
By the way: if you got notebook with recovery image saved on HDD you can try to install OS using F8 and Repair my computer option. More about that you can read under

Cannot install WXP on Satellite Pro A300

Hey guys,
I was hoping I could find some help on these forums. I hope I have posted this in the right place.
A while ago, Windows Vista went crazy on one of my laptops, and I wanted to install XP. (No, you cannot laugh at me). I have the XP Pro SP3 disc.
Although, even the recovery agent that Toshiba has on all of its laptops/computers could not fix these issues I had. I put the XP Pro Sp3 disc into the MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ880AS drive, hoping to use the formating tool on that so it would let me install XP as Microsoft/Windows made it impossible to revert. Anyway, the formatting went all well, and then the installation just came up with billions of errors.
I currently have a Ubuntu Live CD running on it, to make it actually DO something, and its working fine. But i really badly want XP on it.
I think the issue could be BAD SECTORS on the HDD.
I need help, and input.
Do I buy a new HDD and hope the install works? Do I buy a whole new laptop?
Your help is appreciated like you wouldnt believe. This has been driving me nuts for ages.
Brock

Hello.
1) Check if your compact disc has no scratches.
2) Make sure that the lens of the DVD drive is clean (dust free). If not perform a cleaning operation by using cotton wool stick and alcohol (make it very accurate and avoid making any micro scratches).
3) Backup all your data from all partitions. Then start a clean installation of Windows XP. In the setup remove all your existing partitions (make sure that after that you have ONLY unpartitioned space) then create new partitions of preferred size. Format those partitions in NTFS (Quick) mode. Finally, install the system onto partition C.
That's it.
Good Luck to You, and keep posting your progress.

Cannot install windows on Satellite Pro A40

Hi I have read through all the posts and cant seem to find an answer.
My problems is this ..
I have tried to install windows from a Full version and when I choose to install windows in a partition it fails. If I try to delete the partition it fails. If I use the recovery disks - Option 1 fails before it fully loads - looks like Gdisk? error and then goes in ghost. Option 2 Loads but when I go to install fails again.
I cannot find an option in the bios to prevent accessing the disk - like a boot virus protection. the lock key under the keyboard I have tried in both positions.
I have removed the battery to see if it is a power problem !
Tried using the recovery options in win xp - but cannot access the drive
The really strange thing is during the recovery disks option 2 - the drive size is bigger than the actual size by approx 1/3 ?
The system originally went down whilst connected to the internet - the only option I can thing of is a surge came down the line and damaged either the motherboard or the hardrive. As it has happened to a Desktop system - Blew 3 modems and an ups before we located the problem.
HELP!!

Hi,
did you already tried to check and format the drive with an external tool? I give you a suggestion: try the "ultimate boot cd" which has many tools also some tools for maintaining harddrives.
You can get the image here: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
Just burn it to a CD, boot it and choose the tool for your harddisk to check it and to repartition it.
Hope it helps...

BIOS update has killed my Satellite Pro A210-1AZ

Hi
Today Tempro gave me an alert that there was a new BIOS update (bios-20100215113621). I duly installed in in the usual way. During the restart the machine came up with a BAD CHECKSUM message.
Whilst I was reading the message the machine gave a high pitched sqeak and promptly died. It will not restart or respond.
Can Toshiba please explain why they are distributing killer updates and propose how to bring my machine back to life.
We have two indentical machines so will leave my wife's running on the old bios.
Any one got any good ideas?

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your suggestions and aplogies for my tardy reply. I think I've nailed the problem and am getting round it. I kept on trying to get the machine going and eventually it got as far as a windows screen sayig there was a windows problem. Windows sorted that out after a lot of grinding away and a restore. It was about then that I realised that MS were putting out a number of biggish updates. My wife's indentical laptop started its own MS update which involved a restart and a lengthy configuration routine. I think what happened was that unkown to me I was flashing my BIOS when MS Vista was updating itself too.
I now have a machnie that works. BUT! If I go into the BIOS after about 5 seconds I get a total machine shut down.
My plan is never to flash a BIOS again and cannot go into the BIOS.
Wifes PC seems to work perfectly OK on old BIOS, slow as ever but relaible.
Cheers
Fred

BSOD on my Satellite Pro A210

My A120 crashes when it boots up. It goes to the "Windows XP" Boot Screen, blue screen errors for around 2 seconds and then restarts itself. I can't re-install it as my CD-ROM Drive doesn't work
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
Tom Collins

Hello tom
To be honest I am wondering that CD/DVD drive does not work and you do not want to repair it or let service to exchange the drive if there is some technical problem. Sorry but I think you should do this.
So about BSOD is not easy to say much because we do not know why this happen and what you have done last days with your notebook. Try to start your notebook in safe mode using F8 button at start up. If this works please let us know.

Satellite Pro A210 Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Hello
Can anyone suggest why I am having problems upgrading from 32bit vista to windows 7 - 32 vista?
I'm not sure if it is because there isn't enough RAM
Has anyone else had a similiar problem on this laptop?
Thanks
CLary

Toshiba have a guide to upgrading at [http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletin.jsp?ct=SB&soid=2450599&ref=EV]. I'd go through their suggested method and then come back if you still have problems

No sound through HDMI on Satellite Pro A200

Hey everybody,
I have Win XP installed on my Satellite Pro A200.
When I plug in the hdmi cable the video goes through to the tv but the sound still plays on laptop speakers.
I have tried changing the output of the sound to all the possible options but it just doesn't seem to work.

Go to control panel
select "sounds and audio devices"
select "audio" tab
set the default playback device to be "ati hd audio rear output"
then restart the machine while plugged into the tv
annnnnnd voila :)
tnx dudes
