Satellite A200-TR6 - Can't install Vista SP1

I've got Windows Update set to automatically install any updates, but it's failing on installing SP1. Specifically, I've had SP1 in my "Pending Updates" folder for a few months now, but it never installs. When I try and do it manually (as in by selecting "Install Now"), it goes through most of the process, and then says that it has failed and will try again. It then restarts, tries to install it again, and after about 45 minutes reports that it can't.
I recall reading somewhere that it was caused by an incompatibility with the driver for the built-in webcam, but there were never any solutions presented. Any ideas?

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!!!

Can´t install Vista SP1 on T61

dear all
i tried every trick i found in several internet forums regarding problems to install Vista SP1 on a T61 with failure message 0x800F0826. No chance to install.
Can anybody advise how I can be successful ?
Thx in advance
Tom

Hi!
Could you tell us whether it's a clean install of Vista or are you running a Lenovo pre-load? Also, are all your drivers updated? From my research there are two major culprits that can prevent an upgrade to Vista SP1 (either stand-alone or via Windows Update):
1) fingerprint reader driver
2) X3100 Intel graphics driver
However, the error you mention is known to Microsoft but they offer little in terms of a solution for this issue. Here's their explanation:

Satellite A350-13D - Can I install Vista 64bit?

Hi
(excuse me, I can't speak english very well, sorry if I write with faults)
3 days ago, I bought an Toshiba Satellite A350-13D. It has 4GB RAM, but Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit is installed. The computer can use only 3GB.
Can I install Vista Home Premium 64 Bit to use the totality of RAM (4GB)? Where can I download the driver for my computer?
Thanks for your help :)
Have a nice day

Hi!
Of course you can I install Windows Vista 64bit Why not? What do you think?
On the Toshiba website I can find all drivers for Vista 64bit on Satellite A350 so it should all working properly with Vista 64. Check it yourself:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
But note there are two different BIOS versions available One for 32bit and one for 64bit. After installing Vista 64bit you must update the BIOS too.
Bye

I have already downloaded most of them but I can't find some like [2] Intel ICH7M Chipset Utility, [11] Intel Kedron Wireless LAN Driver, [23] TOSHIBA Speech System. Also some of the drivers are not installing properly.
Can you please help me out.

The chipset driver you can get on the Intel webiste
www.intel.com
But I think the driver could also be in the display driver because its the same chip.
The WLAN driver I have found on the Toshiba website so download and install it.
The speech system could be integrated in the sound driver.
But download and install all drivers and the system will work.

Satellite A200-137 - Can not install windows after hard disk crash

last week my a200-137 crashed and now i have new hitachi 500 gb hdd on it, same as before the crash.
I install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull install i have to start windows, it says preparing windows for first use then i have to wait a moment and then i get the message that windows installation is not completed. But it is complete!
After trying for 3 times installing with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
After a couple of minutes and transering files, I get the message no disk found! It says that there is no hard disk on the laptop!
But when I start up the boot menu or the setup menu I can see the 500 gb Hitachi hard disk!
So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

> So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
On this virtual way it is not easy to say why you cannot install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same will happen when you replace HDD with the same or identical one.
Which capacity has had original HDD?
If possible try to obtain original Microsoft installation disc and check if HDD will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and start preinstalled OS.
About WXP installation: it is well known that WXP installation will not starts properly due to missing SATA driver that must be loaded before WXP installation starts.
Check this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

Can't install Vista SP1 on new MBP

Hey there,
I posted this in another category by mistake, apologies.
I have a mid-2009 MBP and recently updated to 10.6 (now 10.6.1). I unfortunately need to install Windows on my machine for grad school examination software and I didn't have a copy of XP, so I went and purchased a retail version of Vista Premium Home SP1. Using Boot Camp, I get almost all the way through the installation process until it tells me that it "could not configure one or more system components." I verified and repaired disk permissions via Disk Utility before I started, and did the install 3 times with partition sizes of 32, 25 and 15 with no luck. Any ideas? Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I guess the problem is due to vista that needs a NTFS partition to be installed. Check in which way your bootcamp has being partitioned (I think FAT). In this case, to solve the problem is to format the partition in NTFS: in the vista installation process, when it is asked to choose where install windows, there should be a way to format and allow the process to complete regularly.

Satellite Pro A200 - Is there any way I can re-install Vista?

Hi,
I bought an A200 a couple of years ago pre-installed with Vista Home Premium.
Recently I got a virus and had to re-install windows which I tried unsuccessfully from the recovery disks I had made from the Toshiba recovery programme. After several attempts I decided to install Ubuntu 9.1 instead, which I have been happy with, however certain features, such as no sound through HDMI, have not worked so I would like to re-install Vista.
I believe the install files for the pre-installed Vista are on a partition somewhere on my A200.
Is there any way I can re-install Vista?
Thanks

Hi Sched7,
There is no recovery partition on Toshiba notebooks. Only a folder with an image is stored on the second partition but as MisterX wrote, if this would be available its too late now since you installed Ubuntu
In your case I would try the recovery disk again. I noticed also a problem with the disk after I had a virus. I had to wipe the whole HDD first by using Microsoft disk. After this I tried the recovery disk again on a clean HDD and it successful!!!
In worst case you have to install Vista from a Microsoft disk. You can download all drivers and tools on the Toshiba website.

Bootcamp Question? Should I update bootcamp before installing Vista SP1

Hi,
I am about to install Vista SP1 on iMac, Leopard 10.5.4.
About a month back, there was a bootcamp update that had been posted on support download website. The question is; Do I need to install the Update before installing Vista or is that needs to be done after the installation of Vista?
Thanks for the help,

The update is consists only of new device drivers for Windows XP and Vista. There are different updates depending upon whether you install 32-bit XP, 32-bit Vista, or 64-bit Vista. So Windows must be installed first, the original drivers included on the Leopard DVD should be installed, then you can install the update in Windows.

Satellite X200-245 can i install a second HDD

on satellite X200-245 : can i install a second hard drive ?
is it possible ?
There is a place for it but no sata connection on the mother board where can i find this connector

No you cannot install the second HDD because there is no HDD connector which would allows to connect the HDD to the mobo.
And No, its not possible to upgrade the mobo with such connector.
The X200 has the two HDD bays because some X200 support 2 HDDs and some dont support it.
Your X200 doesnt support 2 HDD

'Windows cannot install required files' error while installing Vista SP1

I'm installing Vista Client SP1 on my Macbook pro and getting the following error:
Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
Almost exactly as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930984/ except my error code is 0x80070017. I'm double-checked CRC on my dvd to ensure it's not corrupt. Also I've previously successfully installed Vista SP1 from the SAME DVD on a different Mac Leopard (desktop)
Any ideas? This is a new Macbook pro, just got it yesterday. Could be DVD drive issue?
Thanks!

Did you get far enough to delete the FAT partition BootCamp created, so you could create a new NTFS one?

Satellite L350 - Can't install Vista and how can I backup my data?

Hi to all
I have a Satellite L350 and recently I've installed Vista Home Premium in a different language (the OEM Vista was in English) hoping I could activate it with the OEM key, but I didn't succeed.
When I wanted to re-install the OEM Vista from WinRE I realized I can't access it and then I had a "brilliant" idea that if format the C partition with the Acronis Disc Director it would boot from WinRE. It didn't.
Fortunately Ive burned the recovery discs before. The only problem is that the recovery disc formats the entire HDD and I have data on the second partition I've would like to retrieve.
I tried to install again the retail Vista to backup the data from the second partition (yes, I'm an idiot, I didn't do it before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with a low dash blinking.
I really need that data, please help!

Hi!
I can tell you why you cant install a retail version of Vista by using the product key. This is pretty easy because the key on the bottom side on the notebook belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and cant be used by a retail version.
However, I think the best way to backup your data would be that you put the HDD in an external HDD case and then you can backup your data on another PC or notebook.
Such external HDD cases are not expensive but very useful.

Losing the will - Bay 2 1TB Hard Drive can't install Vista AT ALL!

I have a new Mac Pro and installed a Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB hard drive in bay 2, solely for a Vista install (for editing AVCHD in Sony Vegas) but I cannot under any circumstances, install Vista on any partition, be it the full, halved, any combination at all - you name it, I can't install.
I get as far as the partition screen in Vista and his is where things slip up - I have had the Boot Camp partition (only on a split, never on the single partition) and it just will not let me install. Not under any circumstance.
This is appalling, I have been onto Apple who have escelated it to one of their engineers, he did not have a clue. Way to go.
So, I was wondering if anybody had any ideas or has experienced this?
BTW, I have not tried to install to the OS hard drive yet - don't really want to mess with it.
TIA

There are a number of things you can do, but in every case, you have to delete any FAT partition, create NTFS before you can install. In some cases, a restart from Vista DVD is required before it proceeds.
In one instance, I had to remove the OS X drive, but that may be why some jump to wrong conclusion about drive bays making a difference - they don't.
You got it installed so you must have been at least somewhat successful.
I use Disk Utility to create and format the drive 99% of the time. If you are going to dedicate a drive to Vista, even multiple FAT/NTFS partitions, I would set the partition table (Partition: Options.... in Disk Utility) to Master Boot Record rather than GUID.
Let Windows do all the updates through multiple reboots before you insert the Leopard DVD to add Apple setup.exe services often called "BootCamp drivers."
BootCamp Assistant is unnecessary and I don't think well designed even yet for use on Mac Pro UNLESS you need to install Windows on the same drive as OS X, such as you find on iMac/MacBook series.
Vista DVDs are now available with SP1 already, which is what I would buy today if I was buying Vista.
say "had" because a couple of days down the line when I tried to boot into Vista, I was met with a black screen and flashing cursor.
Any hardware changes? installed drivers?
When you say you looked far and wide... I have been active here and on Mac Pro discussion and Vista issue.
There are also some good threads on MacRumors:
