Satellite A200 - can't use Vista after Product Recovery

Hello. I hope someone can help me with the following... This week I've had various issues with my laptop following a Vista update that System Restore did not fix, so I decided to go for a full Product Recovery (as I have a full backup of all my files).
So far I have used product recovery on my laptop in each of the 3 ways I can see (and more than once): without changing settings, changing settings and maximising the partition, changing settings and selecting the advance / expert option.
Each time I was able to complete the initialisation of windows, creating a new user account, etc. Once the desktop has been set up, I get a small window with a progress bar and when this completes I click the 'restart' button...
After restarting I get to the black screen that says Microsoft Corporation with the green progress bar, but it stays there for what feels like 'too long'. After a while I get a black screen with a cursor and then a blue screen for a crash dump.
If I use F8 and start in Safe Mode, the system stops at the CplIR.sys file, although hard disk activity seems to continue. After 10+ minutes I switch off.
If I use F8 and then select Repair Computer... this is what happens with each option
- Restore the complete windows operating system: after clicking OK nothing happens.
- Memory diagnostics: there are no problems with the memory
- DOS prompt: I have run CHKDSK and there are no problems with the hard drive
- Startup Repair: there are no errors,although the diagnostics say 'failed' when it sees there are no system restore points
Then on restarting I either get the black screen with cursor followed by the crash dump OR if I manage to sign in and get to my desktop, I get the crash dump as soon as I try to do something (like open the control panel).
Following instructions found elsewhere, I've tried this after removing the battery and then changing the power management options immediately after windows initialisation (ie. before clicking the restart button). No change.
I've even ignored the restart button! But still get a crash dump when I try to do something.
Any ideas?? I have spent (ie. wasted) so much time on this and don't understand what can be wrong after formatting the drive and re-loading windows image...

Hello
It is very interesting story. I have recovered several notebooks many times but I have never noticed something like this.
I must say that all you have done right and you think in right way. If I were you I would try exactly the same steps to get it work somehow.
I don't know which various issues you had before but I presume there issues were just software issues and not relevant for hardware functionality.
It is really hard to say what the problem can be. What you can try is obtain somewhere Microsoft Vista installations disc and install naked Vista to see if the same will happen again.
Anyway, the fact is that recovery images are tested and adapted for each notebook model and if the hardware is OK there is no reason for such behaviour.
Try with clean installation using Microsoft installations disc and let us know what happen exactly.

Drivers/Utilities CD..XP and VISTA..can I use vista for WIN7 64 bit install?

Drivers/Utilities CD's, that came with the p-35 Motherboard..XP and VISTA..can I use Vista for WIN7 64 bit install, or download the chip set drivers for Awin7 BEFORE the OS install??
MSI P-35 Platinum
Q6600 Core 2 Quad
Presently XP 32Bit
NVidia geforce 8600GT
8GB DDR2 SDRAM PC6400-800MHz
Windows 7..waiting to be installed.
Hello,
I WANT TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL.I have Windows 32 Home XP, I have the Win7 OEM I want to install.
When i bought my MSI mobo, it came with both the drivers and utilities for XP and Vista. Can I use the chip set drivers and utilities for Vista, until i can go to MSI and download the latest chip set drivers? When do i install these drivers....before the OS install, or after?
Can I format these drives first, go in the BIOS change to boot sequence from Raptor Boot Drive to the DVD/Rom to boot the WIN7 from, or should I format while installing Win7?
Someone on another forum suggested that 1) disconnect the two droves, then install the OS on the boot drive, and2) before win7 install, make the proposed boot drive (NOT THE DVD/CD ROM the first choice priority for the boot sequence....is this right?
Is it absolutely necessary to unplug the other two drives, while formatting and installing the WIN7 O.S.? People tell me that there is a chance of the OS installing sometimes on the other drives.
Also, if I want to change the now present boot drive Local disk letter (C) to my storage drive (G) and the other two drive letters, can I do this in manage disks, anytime, or only during windows setup install?
Thx

I've never had this much trouble hooking up a HDD.
I have two IDE DVD/CD ROMS. (My RAID MODE was IDE in XP OS, and still is with WIN7.)
I have three SATA HDD's.
After unplugging the SATA 2TB HDD while I installed the WIN7 OS on the 500 GB HDD (it was on the 74 RAPTOR, but I moved location, and made absolutly sure nothing went on my raptor)
So today I decided to re-hook up the 2TB Storage HDD, and when I did, I went into bios,and to the cell menu, and LOAD ALL DEFAULT SETTINGS, so it could see my newly installed HDD,which I had all my backup Data from the previous HDD. I also checked and the RAID MODE was IDE, and the boot sequence was the WDC 500GB Boot/OS drive, rebooted,then I got that annoying blanked out screen with that blinking cursor, so I got back into the bios,and changed the 1st boot to the IDE Pioneer DVD/CD ROM, 2nd boot to the 500GB HDD, and rebooted again..still got that blinking cursor.
I opened up the Mobo, checked and replugged all SATA, and power cables to the three HDDS, tried it again,then still got the blinking cursor. Seems no matter what I change in the boot sequence,it never wants to boot properly
....AND THEN,
I started with TAB > POST> started WINDOWS, then once it opened up, I went to manage Disks, saw all three HDDs were online and healthy. Win. Explorer also listed them in that folder, in device manager, it listed all three too.
The managed window showed this:
74GB (system,active,Primary partition) Storage
2TB (Primary partition) Excessive Storage
500GB (Boot, page files,crash-Dump, Primary partition) Operating system
Both the PCI IDE BusMaster and ON-Chip SATA Controller were both ENABLED.
Before I just got online, I tried RESTART, and it opened Windows the usual way, so I hope I don't have any more problems. It worked fine BEFORE I just plugged in the 2TB HDD back in.
I pretty much did what everyone suggested,except for leaving in the 74GB Raptor when I installed WIN7, which prompted me to format the drive prior to installing the OS. Also, when I changed the IDE, RAID,and AHC1, to the AHC1 Mode, just before I installed Window7, like a few suggested, I also had problems, so after the install, I went back and changed it back to IDE. My Floppy was an IDE, but I removed it from my system, and disabled in BIOS, but even a few times I went into Bios and saw that thje floppy was 1st Boot, even though I changed to either the DVD/CD Rom, or the 500GB boot drive.
So what is the preferred boot sequence?

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it.

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it. I receive a dialogue box which states previews are not allowed in aperture and the application is shut down.

Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.

Re: Satellite X200-22E - Can I use Vista 64bit BIOS for Windows 7?

Hello!
Can I use the Vista-64 bit BIOS-Update 2.50 for my Satellite X200-22E? I just installed Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 bit and it works fine.
Before this I had XP-32 bit running.
Thank you in advance!
Tom

I have a X200-20S and am running Windows 7 64bit with BIOS Ver 2.5 for 32bit Vista. If I try to install ver 2.5 for 64bit Vista I get an error message which tells me the ROM image is identical to the one already installed!!! I can only assume that the installer software can't distinguish beteen the 32 and 64bit versions? Not sure what the difference is but I haven't had any problems with Windows 7 so far apart from the subwoofer not working.

Hello
It seems that WXP does not work perfectly on new Vista designed notebooks. Before you live your notebook try to change profile in power settings (long battery life) and test the settings with this profile.
Tomorrow I will try to install WXP on my A200 and I am really interesting if I will notice the same.

Satellite A200 23W shuts down seconds after pressing power button

Hi all :)
I have just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 23W portable computer some hours ago.
I turn it on and i let it finish all the Vista installation.
After finishing Vista installation it asket to resturn the laptop and from that moment the laptop is "dead".
After pressing Restart computer (from Vista) the computer shut down with no problem but it never restarted!!!
After waiting some minutes i tryed to start it over by pressing the power button.
Now when i press the power button i can hear the HDD working and most of the time before i can see something on screen the laptop shuts down!!
Now i notice that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN indicator are flushing and stopping flash at moments.
From reading the manual i would assume that the DC IN indicator should not flash at all though.
I have tryed to unistall the battery and try to boot the laptop but in that case i can not even listen the HDD starting up!!!
I have try to unplag and replag the power cable (in the wall socket as well as in laptop) but again no result.
Any ideas of what has happened?
Many Thanks

I do not know what is wrong there and, in my opinion, it should not be so important for you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and talk with him. Explain the situation. Maybe you will get new notebook. If not please contact nearest authorized service provider and let them check your notebook.
The notebook is brand new and it must work. Please do not wait too long.

Satellite A200 won't use external battery

Hi to all.
I have Satellite A200-PSAE6E, and I bought universal external battery. But external battery can't produce enough current for my laptop when internal battery is not full. When internal battery is full, external keeps it full and run laptop, but when internal battery isn't full and I plug in external battery, in a few seconds laptop shows that it is plugged in, and battery is charging, but after that few seconds, it shows only that laptop is plugged in, and battery doesn't charging.
Problem is that when laptop is plugged in and battery doesn't charging it use internal battery (like when it isn't plugged in), and when it empty internal battery it turn off, and there still shows that it is plugged in. Can I set that when laptop is plugged in, but doesn't charging it will use external power?
I am sure that is only software solution.

>This is universal external laptop battery. This battery produce 19V, and I don't see why Toshiba must recommend using this external battery?
Of course this is important because there is no guarantee that not supported and not recommended 3rd party options would be compatible with your notebook.
>I just need information if I can set that when laptop is plugged in but not charging, then laptop will use external power for its work, not for both (work and charging).
As far as I know this cannot be set. If the AC adaptor is connected to the notebook then the battery will charge automatically

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 A200 can't see wifi

Hello,
I meet strange problem, till now my wifi has working good, but today, i don't know why, my laptop can't see any wireless networks, like the antenna was turn off. Of course it is on, i see orange light that signalize that. I try to reinstall drivers, but it didn't help.
LAN is working.
My computer: Satellite A200 1M4, Windows XP Professsional SP 2

First of all you should check if the WLan card is still recognized in the device manager.
If yes -> you could still try to remove and to update the WLan driver.
Furthermore reset the WLan router. The router reset is necessary and mostly it solves some strange connectivity problems.
Last but not least use the FN+F8 key combination to enable the WLan antenna

Error message on Satellite A200: Can't open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver

Hi,
I have Satellite A200 laptop
When i start the windows(vista) I get the following error: *"Can't open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver.* " !!
I've installed all drivers and the error remains.
I've installed all the drivers from the Toshiba website , but the issue remains.
Device manager shows me that every device is working properly.
Has anyone got an solution?
Thanks

ACPI is the power management facility for your Windows Operating system. If this is failing you may have to run a system recovery on your computer. You can do this with the hidden partition on your hard drive, however this will erase all of the data on your machine. If this doesn't solve the problem, you may have to consider getting your hard drive checked for bad sectors as this may have failed.
Hope this helps. :)

Satellite A200-1AX: very grainy videos after Win 7 installation

Hello.
I have a toshiba Satellite A200-1ax and it use to have Vista when i got it.
I got rid of the OS and installed XP, thous installing the BIOS update for XP.
I've recently installed Win7 and everything is good. The only problem i have is with video files.
Every thing i watch is very grainy.
I've installed some codecs and the catalyst for Win7 beta and thing's got a bit better. Still pixelized though.
But HD video files don't work at all. It's the same as having a video card that doesn't support HD.
The audio races ahead of the video.
I haven't changed anything with the BIOS.
Could the problem be from there? Should i run the BIOS update for vista?

I use ti have Xp on the laptop and the same videos where great. Now they are grainy.
HD doesn;t work properly.
That's the only problem with this OS...
Use to have vista, but i don;t want to go back to those memories :D
PS - i gave the copy of win7 to a friend, he installed it and the videos are OK with him.

Satellite A200-23U - DVD-ROM problem after firmware update

Hi! I have A200-23U (TSSPcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H). I update firmare first to TO02, then to TO03. None errors was shown. After reboot my device is locked (doesn't open/eject by button or by any software) and ImgBurn (for example) can't find any writers. In system devices now it's shown as:
IDE\CDROMTSSTCORP_CDDVDW_TS-L632H________________*BOOT*____\5&1AC5D6C0&0&0.0.0 (I think there must be *TO03* but no *BOOT*)
What's wrong and how can i fix it?
PS Sorry for my bad english .)

I won!! TSL632H_TO??.exe - it's just SFX-archive that can be unpacked by WinRAR (for example). And then we got SFDNWIN.exe program and firmware dump file (*.bin) separately, which can be used to upload firmware without any checks (compatible/non compatible).
*WARNING!!! NO ANY WARRANTIES!!!*

Satellite A200: Some devices stoped working after BIOS update

I recently updated my BIOS to V2.60 on my Sat A200
but ever since i apdated the BIOS some of the hardware components stoped working.
So i decided to use the product recovery CD but it wont work anymore.
Each time during its loading stage the system crashes and i get a blue screen mentioning a file called CLFS.SYS as the root of the problem
Is there a solution for my problem?

Hi
What Sat A200-xxx do you have exactly?
From my experience there are different BIOS versions for different operating system.
The Vista and XP needs different BIOS!
But I wonder why the Toshiba recovery disk does not function anymore? ?:|
Usually you should be able to recover the system no matte what BIOS has been installed.
Did you try to format the HDD firstly using another disk for example like Win XP?
Check this!
I think you should format the HDD again and then should try to recover the notebook using the Recovery disk
