Satellite A200-1CR - Can't find my BIOS

Hello
I have a Satellite A200-1CR (Part Number: PSAE0E-02G00YAR) and I cant find my BIOS. I need it to do a crysis recovery disk as I interbted the BIOS update. Any help for finding the file plz?
And any comments on the crysis recovery thing is most welcome :D
thanx in advance every one

Hi buddy,
If you use the forum search you can find some threads about crisyis recovery but dont forget thats no official option to recover the BIOS. Everything happens on your own risk and in worst case you could destroy the whole ROM module.
You should contact an authorized service provider in your country. The guys can reflash the ROM module because they have DOS based BIOS update and other professional tools.

Satellite A200-1CR: Can I install Vista using my Vista installations DVD?

Hi
I would like to have some answers in my questions......
I have satellite A200-1CR (PSAE0) and I want to install vista on my own....not with the recovery DVD but I have some serious questions....
1) May I have problems during installation....(SATA drivers, etc) ,problems with BIOS or Toshiba has no such restrictions?
2) Is it problem if I erase the secret partition (winre) and what is its use?
3) If I do a clean install with my DVD with my vista....if I want in the near future can I use the recovery DVD I have got or not?
4) In drivers section for my laptop for each part has 5,6,7 either 8 drivers for win vista...which one is the proper or it's all the same?
5) In general what do you suggest? Are there any reasons why not to do my format??? I have done a lot of formats in desktop but never in laptops.
Sorry if tired you with my questions, and sometimes my bad English....
Thank you in advance........

Hi
I think I can answer some questions lets start with
> 1) Vista DVD has SATA drivers but WXP doesn't. Do you think the possibility not to recognize the HDD is high? I can't understand where you mean to install the HDD drivers.....
As Gipsyman already posted you need the Intel Matrix Storage Manger. If you use the XP then this driver must be installed from the external USB floppy disk drive. You have to put the sata driver on the diskette and should include the SATA driver while the
Windows XP setup is running. I think you have to press F6 to include the driver.
But if you dont have a external USB floppy drive then you could create an own XP CD with the SATA driver. To create a new XP CD you need the freeware tool called nLite (google for details).
If you want to install Vista then you could include the SATA driver from the USB stick.
By the way; this forum provides more as enough details about Intel Matrix Storage Manger and nLite. Use the search option!!!

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
My bios is 23/10/07 Windows Vista 32 Bit 1.80-WIN

Hi
Did you check the Toshiba European driver page?
There you could find all drivers and BIOS for the Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)
But I checked the page and the BIOS 1.8 for Win Vista 32bit is still the newest one.
Seems you are already up to date buddy ;)

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A100-200 (PSAA8E)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
The BIOS on the download page is November last year, is there anything newer or does anyone know of an update that is compatible?
Thanks,
Ian

Yep, newest updates and drivers for your notebook you will find on the Toshiba download pages, as Jimi already mentioned.
Just as a little hint from my side is, that if there is nothing wrong with your notebook, just leave it as it is.
As there is the saying, never touch a running system.
So keep that in mind. ;)

Satellite A200-1CR - Driver for Mass Storage Controller

On my Satellite A200-1CR / Windows 7 Pro I see yellow "Mass storage controller" in device list. What driver I should install?
Also my cardreader is not work now.

Hi mate
In your case I recommend checking the Device ID and Vendor ID which helps you to get more details about the device and needed driver.
Here you can find a nice HowTo:
[How to identify an unknown device?|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]
If the Mass Storage Controller is the Card Reader device, then you would need the Flash Media Driver but I found only the driver for Vista, however, I recommend checking this driver even if its has been released for Vista and not for Win 7

Is it possible to install Windows XP on a Satellite A200-1CR

Hello all. I have a A200-1CR with vista. This OS is not working very good and i cannot install a lot of programms that i must use. So, is it possible to delete the Vista and install Win XP pro instead? What about the drivers? Can i install the drivers for Vista at XP? If not, does anyone knows when toshiba will release drivers for win XP?Thanks!

Hi there,
surely you can delete Vista and put XP on your machine. But before you do this, try to find the appropriate drivers for your machine at these sites:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
and then when youve collected all drivers and burned them to a CD, then you can install XP. :)
Easy going. ;)

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!!!
Bye

Satellite A200-10W - Where to find Windows 7 64bit drivers?

I have a Satellite A200-10W notebook. In present I have vista x86 installed but I want to upgrade to windows 7 64 bit but I don't know where I find the drivers because on the website I can't find these.
Can anyone help me? How can I use sound card, network card, webcam and others if i haven't these drivers?

Hi!
I have checked the Toshiba page and the Satellite A200-10W belongs to the PSAECE series and therefore I could find only Vista 64bit drivers:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Normally these drivers are also work on Windows 7 so you should try it. Maybe all of them will work and so you have Windows 7 with all drivers. :)

Satellite T110-11U - Can't find the WLAN router

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite T110-11U. Have had it since Feb and loved it - happily used it wireless throughout the house. Then one day about a month ago unless I was in the same room as the wireless router, wireless doesn't work. I have 2 other laptops (and an iPhone) that still connect wirelessly throughout the house and the garden without problem.
As you can imagine, this was very strange. When I take it out in to the garden, my other laptops find all the wireless networks in the area, but my Toshiba finds none.
Suspecting it was a driver issue, I made sure the wireless drivers were up to date. With no joy there, I recovered the system to as it was when purchased (doing a full restore by interupting the booting up and letting the hard disk be wiped and reinstalled etc). Still the same problem. I've even changed the rooms the router is in, and the same problem - the Toshiba can't find the router unless the router is within a couple of metres of the laptop.
Before I lose the will to live, can someone suggest the cause of my problems, or is it time I admitted defeat and took it back to comet under warranty (where the will probably test it next to a wireless router and tell me all is fine!).
Many thanks,
Steve.

>the Toshiba can't find the router unless the router is within a couple of metres of the laptop
Does this mean that the T110 can find the wlan but only if its placed near the router?
Just other hint;
Go to BIOS and set it to default! Ensure hat Wlan is enabled and dont forget to save the changes.
You should also go to control panel -> device manager -> Wlan card properties -> Advanced tab.
Should check the Wlan settings like the Wlan encryption, Wlan channel, etc
Be sure you have enabled the WLan card on your notebook as well!

Re: Satellite A200-1DY: Is there difference between BIOS 32bit & 64bit

I have Satellite A200 laptop and i have a doubt and is if there are diferences between Vista 32 and 64 Bios. Or is the same Bios?
My question is because in the last days i installed Home Premiun 64bit but my Bios is for Vista 32bit but every works fine on laptop.
Should i change the Bios for 64bits or should i let 32 bits Bios?
thanks

Hi again ;)
I think there is a difference between both BIOS versions; 32bit and 64bit but please dont ask me what the difference exactly is. ;)
I didnt find any details regarding the differences.
I assume the BIOS 64bit supports some advantages of the 64bit CPUs and the 64bit software but this is only a assumption
However, I think you dont need to switch to the 64bit BIOS version if your notebook run stable and trouble free using the 32bit version.

Satellite A200-1M8 - Can I get a Windows 7 upgrade disk?

Hey there, regarding Windows 7.
I have purchased my laptop model which is Toshiba Satellite A200-1M8 in year 2007.
I want to know first:
If i'm able to upgrade it for free or for money according to Windows Vista to Windows 7 upgrade thing you offer, if yes to which Version of windows 7 it will be upgraded (Home, Professional, etc..)
If not, can I order Toshiba to make a Recovery DVD for Windows 7 specially for my laptop version and if yes, to which version of Windows 7 will toshiba give me?
Regards.

Hi
All informations that you want to know you can find on the Windows 7 upgrade page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Windows 7 Learn More
As you can see a free upgrade is only possible on notebooks purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.
Furthermore your model isnt Windows 7 supported. There is only a limited driver support for a clean Windows 7 installation and so you cant get a Windows 7 disk from Toshiba.
But all these informations are already on the Toshiba page ;)

Re: Satellite A200-1AX doesn't boot after BIOS update

Hello all!
I wanted to install XP on a Satellite A200-1AX.
So I tried to update the Bios to the version that supports XP.
When I tried to install it, Vista crashed and now the laptop won't even turn on.
When I keep the power button pressed, the fan wheezes but nothing else happens.
I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted.
What do I do?
Thanks in advance for any help!

> When I keep the power button pressed, the fan wheezes but nothing else happens. I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted. What do I do?
What to say buddy. Looks like something went wrong during the BIOS update procedure Possibly the BIOS was not written correctly and the ROM module must be flashed again using a special procedure and tool.
In such case you can do nothing you have to contact the ASP in your country for a fix!!!
Dont waste a time and ask an authorized service technician for a help.
Good luck and best regards

Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

Hi everybody!
Need some help with my Satellite A300. I lost the optical recovery disc I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I'm trying to burn a new recovery disc I can't find the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the recovery files left - a folder named HDDRecovery with size 4.5 GB. The problem is to find out how to burn the disc.
Can anyone help?
//iMate, Sweden

Hello
F8 will works just if you didnt change anything with first partition and if you still use factory settings.
"Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" cannot be gone for no reason. Either you have removed it from the system or you have installed own Vista OS.
I don't want to speculate why you cannot use F8 anymore but fact is that for new Vista installation you need recovery DVD.
You can order one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
