Satellite Pro A200 - Where to get new recovery disk?

On Thursday of last week ended up with the Blue page of death, tried to use the product recovery disk and found to my horror it has a large crack in it .
Can anyone tell me were I can upload a new disk from?
Have managed at cost to get the laptop up and running but from windows vista have had to install windows 7 Originaly the laptop came with windows XP. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hello
If your notebook was delivered with Windows XP, you cant order a recovery disk online. In this case you have to contact an authorized service provider in your country. The guys should be able to order a new recovery disk for you.
Here you can search:

Good luck! :)

Satellite Pro A200-16N: Can I use Recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

Hii!
Im thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N, and i've ran the windows vista upgrade checker from the microsoft website and it says my system will support windows vista so im ok on that.
The problem is, if my laptop were to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD's that was supplied from toshiba still work on the laptop with windows vista?
Will they return the laptop to windows xp or since my laptop has a different operating system will they not work?
Also...
Whats the deal with BIOS?:S
I dont understand!
If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
As i have to download the new drivers before upgrading yes?
Thanks!

Of course the Recovery CD will work.
The Recovery CD will set always the notebook back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HDD will be formatted and the Toshiba image will be installed.
> Whats the deal with BIOS? I dont understand!

In my knowledge this notebook was already delivered with Vista therefore you dont need to update the BIOS if you want to install Vista again.
Some A200 Satellite series needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
In such case its advisable to update the BIOS to XP version firstly and then to install X OS.

Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E: Cannot get hotkeys working on Win XP

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E which came with Vista on it, I have reinstalled it with Win XP Pro installed the relevant drivers from the Toshiba download page but cannot get the hot keys working.
I have installed the controls and control driver but this does not seem to work. Have seen a posting about 'common module' somewhere but can't seem to find any links to download it on the download page.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks
Iain

The Controls utility and the Controls driver allow you to customize and preset TOSHIBA special button settings. But these are not a FN keys!!!
You need to install the Hotkey Utility if you want to use the FN keys.
Further hint:
Its important that all Toshiba drivers and Utilities are installed in the right order.
On the Toshiba driver page you will find a txt file called installation instruction.
Please install all the drivers and tools in the order mentioned in this instruction!
Greetings

Satellite A60-218 - Where to download the recovery disk?

I have a Toshiba Satellite S60. It is a job computer and it is actually not mine but as I work with and I want it to be faster.
Someone on the past formated it with a F@kE Windows XP installation disk and all the drivers got lost. Not just the wireless card but also sound and graphics card.
I found after a lot of searching the sound driver. The main problem is that it is not genuine cpoy of windows and it is very slow because of trojan, etc.
I beleive the fastest way to fix it is to recover the factory settings (all CDs are lost). Only I could not find in the website the S60 satellite. Is there a recovery iso image to download?
Can anyone help me? I am really desperate...

Hi
Im not sure if you would be able to order the Recovery disk for this Sat A60 notebook.
Its a older series and I believe that the Recovery disk are not more available for this model. But of course you should get in contact with the local ASP to get more details
Maybe they have some disk on stock.
However, the WIN XP drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
Because the A60 is an older notebook, the drivers have been moved to the Archive area!
Check archive and you would find all XP drivers.
PS: You should use a original Win XP disk ;) the copy are not legal and you could not run any necessary updates which are really important to get rid of the Win XP bugs.
Cheers

Re: Satellite A210-16F: Where to get newer driver for graphic card??

Hi!
I have a Satellite A210-16F laptop with a Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphic card...
After checking my device manager i found out that my graphic drivers are from 2007 which can't be good :S but for the life of me i can't find the right drivers anywhere... if you check out the screenshot, you will see that the drivers are from 2007 and after i click on "update driver" and then "search automatically for updated driver software" it never finds anything and tells me that my drivers are up-to-date :SS Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Oh, also, my OS is Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
Thank you!

One solution for your problem is, that if you upgraded your OS to Windows 7, there's a new driver for Mobility Radeon 2000 Series (Catalyst 9.6) on the ATI/AMD driver page(that one with the OS selector etc..). It's states however, that these drivers are for 7's beta releases only, but if you install them even on regular Win7 system, they're working fine and after a while an update for them appears in Windows update(It should update to Catalyst 9.7). I run them almost a week without a problem and it even resolved my Mass Effect 2 crashing issue.
One problem remains though that the driver is only for Win7(when you select Vista, it's really annoying: "Please contact your device driver manufacturer..." for you.).
It's truly more annoying than sad, that Toshiba, although in the Win7 supported laptop models list states that P200/A200 series are supported, the only thing supported after all seems to be a bluetooth module(since only that one got a new driver). So far there was no problem with an old display driver for 2600, but recently the new Mass Effect 2 crashes almost randomly during loading stages(with error log in computer management stating that the faulting module is ATI(anything here), and I only expect more such errors/problems with new games to come, because almost 2 years old drivers! So I think guys in Toshiba software engineering should really wake up.

Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7: Where to get the ATI driver for Win XP

Hi,
I have bought Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7 and it was with Vista on from the beginning. I decided to upgrade (/downgrade) it to XP but there's problem with driver to graphic card (Radeon HD 2600 Series).
I can't find anywhere ati drivers (actually I found it on ati.amd.com site, but on this forum I read that Toshiba drivers are modified so that Radeon won't be overheating) and I'm wonderig if Vista ones will run on XP (I've downloaded all drivers but ati one)?
...and is it possible to downgrade my Vista to XP Pro through Miscrosoft site (or something like that) or do I have to reinstall it using my old copy (provided with old Toshiba)?
Ps.
Sory for my English
Ps2.
Is it so important to install drivers in proper order?

> When trying to download driver from Toshiba web I get message:
>"This software has not been officially tested and therefore must be at the users own risk."
>I agree, but still can't download it.
You have to switch the option to Accept!!! Then the button Download will be activated!!!
>I found driver on ati site, but read somewhere that for Toshiba notebooks drivers are modified so that >graphic card won't overheat. Is that true? Or original drivers (of ati group) are as good as Toshiba ones?
As mentioned in this forum, the original ATI or nVidia drivers are designed not for the notebook usage!!! The GPU drivers are designed for the graphic cards which are used in the desktop PCs!!! Such graphic cards are equipped with an own, big cooling module in order to prevent the hardware from overheating!!! The notebook GPUs dont support such huge cooling modules and therefore the drivers must control the performance and the temperature growth.

Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using Recovery CD

I have just purchased a Satellite Pro A200 lap-top, which was supplied with Product Recovery disks for both Vista and XP.
The Vista licence specifically also licences XP.
Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to either Vista or XP ? If so, how?
I would also like, as a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
Any comments ?

Hmmm. Usually its possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista Recovery CD formats the whole HDD during the Vista installation and this will lead to losing of the installed OS's.
Im not 100% sure about the XP Recovery CD The newest CD called RECO doesnt include expert mode which allows choosing between different partitions.
So I presume every usage of the Recovery CD will format the HDD and will erase the installed data. But of course you could try to install both OS and to check if the XP recovery CD allows choosing second portion for the OS installation.
If it will not function it seems that you will need either an original Microsoft XP CD or the original Vista CD to use both OS.
Best regards

Product recovery problems on Satellite Pro A200

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro A200. It is running very slowly and sometimes it freezes up when I log on.
Also the homepage has been hijacked and I have tried several anti spyware programs and they have not worked.
I have the product recovery disc but the problem the DVD rom drive has stopped working.
The light is on but it will not open unless I use the manual release.
I have removed it and checked the connections but it seems o.k.
The DVD/CD rom has disappeared from the device manager and does not show up under hardware.
I have tried system restore but this also will not work.
Is there anyway you can use the product recovery software if you boot from a USB key?
I have tried restarting the computer and choosing boot from CD but it will not give me that option.
I have looked in the bios and the only boot options that it gives are harddrive, CD rom, land and FDD

> Is there anyway you can use the product recovery software if you boot from a USB key?
No, this Toshiba Recovery disk cannot be copied to USB flash memory stick and used for OS installation. Im afraid this would not work.
But if youve got an Microsoft Windows CD you should be able to create an bootable USB flash memory stick. In internet you will find many useful step by step instructions how to create such bootable USB stick.
But booting from USB flash memory stick should be definitely possible since the BIOS supports following bootable devices:
USB FDD, HDD, ODD, Network(LAN), USB Memory

Satellite M300 - Where can I get a recovery disk?

I have Satellite M300 and I need the recovery disc. My microsoft system crashed and I need to do a recovery.
Can you help?

Hey mate,
You can get a new recovery disk from an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest so please check this!!!
Alternative you install Windows from a Microsoft disk and then you can download all drivers on the Toshiba page. Then you have factory settings back too but its more complicated as the Toshiba disk.

Satellite Pro A200 - Hard Drive has lost half it's memory

I have a toshiba Satellite Pro A200 running Vista. Vista came preloaded and I don't have any discs for it. I have had it since new (Sept 2007). The hard drive is split into drives. Recently my C drive has competely filled up and I now have no space left (55gigs gone) I store no data in this drive. All my media (music, photos, other files) is in my E drive. I have to run C Cleaner each time I boot up in order to have enough space to operate the computer. I also have to delete all but the most recent restore point in order to function.
I am at my wits end and think I must have a virus or something. Is there a way to restore the computer to 'new'? I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive so I don't mind starting from scratch. Bearing in mind I have no install discs as Vista came pre-loaded.
Can anyone help????? please!

If you don't have any disc and if you didn't get any disc with your notebook that means your notebook was delivered with HDD recovery image and this image is saved on second HDD partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
Recovery disc can be created using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator. I don't know if you still have all this.
The whole story with HDD is somehow strange to me. If your notebook has two partitions and partition C is full I am asking myself what is with second partition. It must be pretty empty.
What is capacity of second HDD partition?
What is free space on this second partition?
You wrote about E drive. What is E drive?
You must understand that nobody of us know what are you doing exactly, what programs are installed on your notebook. You wrote about no saving data on partition C. Maybe you are wrong about it. Maybe you download many torrents and they are saved somewhere on HDD. who knows?
Do you have some friends with good PC knowledge? Try to find someone who can take a look onto preinstalled system and check what is going wrong there.

Satellite Pro A200 - Wifi not responding after loading of Win XP

Hi there, i`m new here and I apologies if this has been covered,i have searched the forum but came up with nothing.
I have a:
Satellite pro a200
Windows XP.
My laptop had xp professional installed and the onboard wifi was working.
I had issues with the laptop overall but the wifi worked. I formatted it last night, installed a new copy of xp home and now the wifi doesnt appear to be recognised. The light is on ,on the switch but i cant seem to get the laptop to recognise its there.
I havent given you much I know but I hope I can get it sorted.
Any questions you may have i will try and answer with as much info as possible.
Thanks, Kirky.

Hello, thanks for the advice.
I have flashed the bios and also installed the latest driver. Now I can see my home network but the notebook now wants a WEP Key to continue. In the last few weeks i have connected 2 xboxs and 2 mobile phones to this network without any issues. Now I want to connect a notebook it is asking for this key and I don`t know what it is, or where to locate it.
Thanks, Kirky.

Satellite Pro A200 - System won't start

Hi,
was wondering if anyone could help?
My Satellite Pro A200 with windows XP won't start. It begins with the Toshiba screen.
Then goes to a black screen with text where it says "PXEE61 media test failure - check cable" (I have no cables) then says exiting PXErom; moves onto the next screen which lists options: safe mode; safe mode with networking; safe mode with communal prompt; Last known Good Configeration; start windows normally.
All of which have been tried and results in the windows loading page coming up for about 20 secs then it just gives up and tries the whole process all over again (before flashing a blue screen).
Nothing seems to work - have tried taking the battery out a number oftimes...and the power cable but to no avail.
This has happened before but after a few false starts gets going - however this time it just won't snap out of it. I could take it in to some where locally but i'd prefer not to as I'm living in Spain and need the laptop asap and not sure I want to leave it in some one else's hands at the risk of them wiping the hard drive.
I'd be so so grateful for any help asap and I'm afraid short hand tech may have to be explained.
Many, many thanks.

Hi
I think the problem is that the OS cannot be found on the HDD.
The PXEE61 media test failure - check cable appears mostly if the notebook tries to boot from the LAN.
Why the notebook tries to boot from the LAN?
Well,
- maybe the LAN option was chooses at first in the booting order in the BIOS
- maybe the HDD is faulty and therefore the notebook tries to boot from LAN
- maybe the MBR (master boot record) is faulty
I think you should take the Toshiba recovery CD and should format the HDD and should reinstall the OS.
This should helps.
If not, then the HDD could malfunctions and should be replaced!

Re: Satellite Pro A200 - Screen goes black after BIOS screen

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and have quite a big problem. So any help is welcome and appreciated.
My Satellite Pro A200 goes black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just before the screen goes black a bleep can be heard which shows windows is booting.
I can access the toshiba set-up screen but not the safety mode set-up.
Kind Regards

Hello
You wrote that you can access the BIOS but have you checked if the HDD is recognized properly? Maybe the computer cannot boot because HDD isnt recognized so you should check this.
If the HDD is recognized I would try a recovery installation from Toshiba recovery disk. It seems that Windows isnt able to start and if you reinstall the whole system it should help to get rid of this. Just go in boot menu and select CD/DVD drive as boot device.
Check this!!!

XP via RIS installation on 32 Satellite Pro A200 laptops

Hi,
Can anyone help? I'm trying to install 32 laptops (Satellite Pro A200) via Windows 2003 Server Remote Installation Services. I've got past the problems with network cards and now have these working by adding the drivers into a $OEM$, $1, Drivers, Nic folder and thought that it might be simple to use the same solution to install the drivers for the SATA controller. How wrong could I be! I'm now pulling my hair out. The machines have the drivers installed in the same way ($OEM$ etc) in a directory marked sata. I have used the drivers from Intel's site - extracted to floppy disk and copied from there. Every time I try to re-image I get the same error "Windows did not detect any hard disk drives" and it's driving me crazy! I have edited risstnrd.sif, textsetup.oem etc etc to no avail.
I found a link on Toshiba's German site for downloading drivers in this situation but the link is pretty slow I've tried to download those drivers now from three separate locations (3 different ADSL accounts) and each one starts off at about 36k per sec then dwindles down to bytes per second and then fails. (It's only a 21Mb file!)
Has anyone managed to deploy these laptops via RIS? If so can you please let me know how you did it and what drivers you used?
Many thanks,

Hello Mark
In my opinion RIS installation is pretty complicated theme and I am really skeptic someone will be able to help you. If you have some time try to use advanced search and check the results for RIS as searched term.
Other way you can create your own recovery DVD and use it for OS installation. For recovery procedure you need about 20 minutes.

Satellite Pro A200 - Shows only 3GB instead 4GB RAM

Hi,
2 years ago I got a Satellite Pro A200 as a business notebook and it runs with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB it shows 2 GB of memory in Windows - and I know it has a Radeon 7500 with 256MB of individual graphic memory, and it has no shared memory.
I upgraded it to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and the ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible in XP 32 bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems I have seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.
So where is the memory? It looks like a bug - the memory chips have both 2 GB I have verified this. Because it is a company notebook I can't just upgrade to XP 64 bit :-(
In the BIOS are no options - first I thought it's the graphic card, but mine has independant graphics with own memory so the computer comes up with 2048 MB or 4096 after the upgrade.
Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM to the OS like my private EEEpc.

> I upgraded it to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and the ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible in XP 32 bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems I have seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.
First of all 32bit OS (no matter if its XP, Win 2003 R2, Vista or Win 7) will not recognize 4GB RAM but only 3.2GB (and not 3.7GB)
I have no idea where you looked for available RAM but you should run DXDIAG in RUN.
Then you should get some details and also the available RAM.
Secondly the graphic card supports Local cache (256MB) and HyperMemory.
HyperMemory of the graphic card depends on the available main RAM memory.
For example the unit supports 1024MB RAM (1GB) then the hyper memory would be 256MB this part of RAM would be shared with graphic card!
This is the reason why the only 3GB are shown...
