Tecra 8200 wont boot - Frezzes on WIN XP boot screen
Hi
my 8200 wont boot. It runs for about 10 seconds (gets past the toshiba screen then onto the winxp boot screen and freezes.
Just before it does the screen flickers but then locks up.
any ideas???
Has the laptop worked OK before? If so, what (if anything) has changed since the last time you used it?
Try booting in Safe mode and see if you get to the Desktop. Need to identify if the problem is hardware or software related.
Lots of ways to progress from here and I'm sure others can advise. My initial thought it is some sort of graphics problem - either hardware or driver problem.

Tecra 8200 wont start (blank screen)
Hi.
A friend of mine has asked me to help her with Tecra 8200 her notebook with WinXP/SP1 installed was sluggish. Being a gentleman, Ive accepted a call, and reinstalled WinXP Pro (originally, this model was shipped with Win98SE). Installation went right, but Ive noticed error entries in System Log regarding BIOS ACPI compliance (once, each time upon machine startup). I continued, installed SP1, successfully, but the ACPI problem remained. Everything else was fine (all HW detected, and appropriate (Microsoft/default) drivers installed). I was thinking of checking for a new BIOS release on Toshibas site, but I left BIOS update procedure for some other occasion.
Then, being intrigued with a problem, I have "cleverly" decided to actually test ACPI, so I put notebook in standby. And, that was it: now, machine doesnt want to start! The screen is blank, HDD is not spinning up, CPU fan is silent Power button is operational, but all I get is Power LED lit up Frustrating! I have tried to revive the machine with standard emergency procedure (switching off, and then back on, taking out battery pack, pressing various key combinations to enter BIOS setup) but accomplished NOTHING.
Searching posted notes on this forum, I have come only to one conclusion: "hardware malfunction take your notebook to ASP".
Is there anything else I could try?
Thnks, in advance.Hi Igor
All you tried was right but if there is no possibility to enter BIOS something is obviously faulty.
Sorry but it can really be some hardware problem. -
Tecra 8200 Boot and os install !
I have a tecra 8200, cd player didn't work anymore so i bought a new one ... The diskette driver was also broken but i just bought a new external usb floppy driver. Everything works fine in windows but i want to reinstall my OS, but i can't seem to boot from external floppy drive or cd drive ... How can i solve this problem ? I edited my bios to boot from fdd, cdrom and hdd , but he doesn't boot, cd is bootable etc ... How can i solve this ?
Hey,
when you changed the old into a ew drive, was it the same model or a better one? Like SD-R2002 or
PA3014E-1DVD DVD Drive Kit
PA3015U-1CDD 24x CD-ROM Drive Kit II
PA3068U-1CD1 CD-R/RW Drive Kit
PA3073E-1CD2 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive Kit
These drive are supported by the Tecra 8200 series. Other Selcet Bay drive can also fit!
It can also help to do a BIOS update unless the newst one wasn't installed!

Pcmcia usb controller doesn't work with Tecra 8200
Hi,
I have an old TECRA 8200 notebook (Intel Pentium III, 847 MHz, 512 MB RAM) OS: WIN XP with latest patches. For it has no USB 2.0 I have bought a PCMCIA USB Controller (Chip NEC). The controller has been recognised but XP is asking for a driver. The controller hasn't been delivered with a driver.
Does any one has an idea how I could get the controller up and running.
thanks
regards
FredI mean, independet from the fact that this is not really a toshiba related problem, could you please post the name of the USB PCMCIA device?
I mean the manufacturer or something because if XP asks for a driver then there should be one available, or?
Please, give a feedback and what you could do additionally is to google for the PCMCIA device. The best way is often to search for the chip (in your case NEC).

X200 keeps loading in Win XP booting screen
Hi Experts,
I did a hard shut down by pressing the power on button for a few seconds when the X200 was doing update right before shutting down. Then my X200 keeps loading in Win XP booting screen after that.
I tried to boot it to safe mode or last configure which the windows works well but the X200 still keeps in loading in Win XP booting screen.
I just tried a Hard disk drive diagnostics with Hard disk drive diagnostics program before loading to Win XP booting screen and it returned a error "error code 0000: read verification failed".
I do need your kind advice and experience sharing to help me out.
1. Have you encountered similar problem and how to recover the X200?
2. If it cannot be recovered, how can I extract my data in the hard disk before i do a clean installation of Win XP?
Your kind advice and sharing is extremely appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Garythat sounds like a harddrive failure. You can try take out the hdd and put into an external usb hdd caddy, then plug this into an external computer and try to recover the files that way.
Regards,
Jin Li

Where can I download drivers and manual for Tecra 8200
Where can I download the drivers and manual for a TECRA 8200 (PIII 900/128/20/CD)
Take a look on this Toshiba European website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
There you will find an Support homepage which contains different links to the drivers and manuals.
Then you have to choose the *ARCHIVE* in the download form!
This unit is an oldie and therefore all manuals and drivers were moved to the Archive.

LCD screen brilliance control on Tecra 8200
My Tecra 8200 PT820E has at some time been formatted minus the Tosh. control software. Hand book says go to Control Panel/power saving and alter screen brilliance there. That does not exist on my machine.
The problem is when on battery power the brilliance level drops to an unreadable level. Is there any other way to increase the brightness level?
Thanks.You can do this very easy by using FN+F7 to raise brightness level.
And I think it is supposed to be the Toshiba Power Saver where you have to look for that option.
This little utility can handle behaviour for power saving modes and there is an option how much display is darkened. -
Why wont my brand new macbook pro boot to an external disk?
why wont my brand new macbook pro boot to an external disk? I have the 10.7.4 on both. The MBP came with it so I installed it onto the hard drive i have been using the same way with an older macbook pro but the new MBP does not see the startup disk. So i installed the same version of the os onto the MBP by hooking it up to my imac as a target disk because it would not recognize the install usb stick. Now the brand new MBP doesnt start up
I had the same issue. The 2012 macbook pro has a different 10.7.4 build that is not yet available for public release. It won't boot no matter how much you try. You need to wait for Mountain Lion and create a start up disk from ML. Apple most likely will release a 10.7.4 update for the 2012 models, but they are focused on ML now.

Tecra 8200: I can't install Wlan driver for Windows XP
Hello ,
i can't find wireless driver for windows xp. I have Tecra 8200. I try to install a lot of drivers of the official page of Toshiba for Tecra 8200 but the drivers do not work.
If anyone know how i can install wireless in my tecra 8200, please let me know.Hi
Firstly what I want say is the Tecra 8200 was not delivered with Windows XP and you will not find any Wlan drivers for WinXP on the Toshiba website.
I have checked it and there are only drivers for W2k, NT, and W98SE.
But as far as I know the unit was delivered with the ORiNOCO specification Wlan miniPCI Card Wireless LAN standard: 802.11b
In this case I would recommend searching in the net for such drivers.
Unfortunately, this is all what I can suggest. -

Tecra 8200 - Which notebook Model number do I have?
High all
Can anyone tell me how to tell what the model I have? I am trying to download the drivers for my machine but am not sure what series / model it is.
I have the following information on the base of the machine:
TOSIBA Tecra 8200
Model No: PT820E-05WQT-E
Serial No: 61276516G ST820-0
It is a Pentium 3 machine but is it an: A / M / R / S series? Then what model do I select after that please?
Thanks.Your Tecra is simply Tecra 8200 and there is no other model number.
Drivers you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads but under Product type you must choose option ARCHIVE.
Then you will find option for Tecra 8200.
Good luck! -
How to enable VT-x for Win 7 boot camp partition MacBook pro?
I am trying to install HAXM to accelerate my android emulator, but I am having problems. I have a Win 7 bootcamp partition in my Macbook Pro, and when I am finishing the installation a message pops up saying that my VT-x is not enabled, the problem is that I can't access the BIOS to turn on the virtualization easily like a PC user, How to enable the VT-x for Win 7 boot camp partition?
The VT-x is running beautiful in my macintosh partition, but I can't understand why in my boot camp partition the VT-x remains disabled.
My processor is a Intel Core I5-2435M , I downloaded the intel processor identification utility, and my processor supports the virtualization tech and hyper-threading tech.You can return that Mac for a full refund if it is less than 14 days from date of purchase.

Not able installing internal Wireless Adapter on Tecra 8200
Dear all,
i've got a Tecra 8200
After installing WinXP Pro, the Wireless Adapter will only be found as PCMCIA MTD-0002.
I,m unable to install Drivers for the Adapter.
XP is with SP2
Bios is 1.60
Could anybody help me what to do, thanks in advance.
Brgds,
ThomasHi,
if you have the Agere MiniPCI WLAN card installed, the system needs to install the following registry key with the driver for the WLAN card:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Pcmcia\Parameters]
"IrqRouteToPciController"=dword:00000006
I've found an installation instruction:
1. Clean install Windows XP Service Pack 2 package
or Clean install the Windows XP Gold package and install Service Pack 2 update image on it.
2. Copy the TICardBusIrqRouting.reg to the system, then click the file on the system.
3. The following window will appear,
"Are you sure you want to add the information in xxxxx\DISABL~1.REG to the registry"
Then select "Yes".
xxxxx is the location of TICardBusIrqRouting.reg
4. The following window will appear,
"Information in xxxxx\DISABL~1.REG has been successfully entered into the registry."
Then click "OK".
xxxxx is the location of TICardBusIrqRouting.reg
5. Reboot the system
Good luck!
