Windows XP and Satellite P200-1I4

I wish to buy Satellite P200 1l4 (PSPB3).
But I do not like Windows vista and I wish installing Windows XP.
Whether there will be problems with installing WXP and adjustment of components (camera, sound, video etc)?

I didnt notice any serious problems with the XP on the P200 series.
Firstly you will have to install the SATA driver (Intel Matrix Storage Manger).
This driver is necessary to recognize the HDD during the XP setup procedure.
The Toshiba European deriver page provides all necessary XP drivers and tools for the P200 series.
So I would recommend following the installation order mentioned in the installation instruction txt file which can be found on the driver page too.
Then everything should run smoothly
Bye

Can I build in second HDD on Satellite P200-1I4?

Hi!
First of all sorry for my bad English. =((
I have a toshiba SATELLITE P200-1I4 and question is: can I install one more (additional) HDD. Or there is only one SATA slot in this laptop? Unfortunately laptop is not near me now, and I can't remove back panel and see it.
On Toshiba web site I can not find information about it.
Some more information:
SATELLITE P200-1I4
S/N: z7269306k - M/N: PSPB3E-0J601MRU
Thanks, and i am hope all written above is understandable. =)

Hi
I agree with the user above. Please have a look under the cover for second HDD slot to check if there is a second HDD connector or not. This takes only few minutes.
If yes you can ask your favorite computer store to get an additional HDD.

Installing devices under windows XP on Satellite P200-14H

Hi,
I have recently purchased Satellite P200-14H. It came with Vista home and since CAD software we use in our company doesn't work on it, we installed WXP on it. Everything works fine, we got the system almost fully functional, installed 99% of the drivers, but in device manager I still have 2 devices that are not installed:
1. PCI Memory Controller
2. Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
For PCI Memory Controller Ive tried just about everything and I think that ATI catalyst software doesn't recognize mobility radeon 2600 HD because of it (I get an error "no compatible hardware was found on your computer".
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I need to send this laptop out on the field with a constructor next week, and it can't go like this...
Thank You

First of all the problem with the drives is easy finde out what chipset u have (32 or 64) (ICH8M_32bit or ICH7M_32bit for ex) and go to THIS PAGE download the drivers and u have a folder called F6flpy in wich are the drivers for atat
from here u have 2 options
1 u buy an usb floppy and u put the deriver on a disk and u instal them from here
2 u go to http://www.nliteos.com/download.html download the program which let's u put this drivers on to the windows kit and rewrite the new kit on to a cd disc (this is what i did)
I hope it help if not give me an email.

Windows XP and Satellite M40X - programs are crashing

Hi, I recently purchased the satellite m40x from Germany. The windows was in German hence after coming back to India, I tried to install the University Licensed version of Windows XP on it.
I have tried many versions of windows with and without service packs but the problem remains that with many applications like Yahoo! Messenger 7 and Nero Start Smart and Age of empires and many others .. the programs crash. I am not able to understand the reason behind this. With the german windows all these programs were working.
after the installations the program works but after restarting the computer it starts giving error. Some of the older messenger versions are working But no version of nero is not working.
Please help me .. thanks

Satellite P200 1I4 - booting from USB

Hi,
I would like to buy Toshiba Satelite P200-1I4.
Can I booting it from USB key or USB HDD?
I saw, that Toshiba hadn't option with booting from USB in BIOS.
I saw new version BIOS on webside Toshiba. What do you think, are there any options to booting notebook from USB key, or USB HDD?
Regards
Tom.

Hi
As far as I know its not possible to boot from the external USB stick or the USB HDD. Its possible to boot from the USB FDD (diskette) only.
Furthermore Windows does not support using external hard drives as boot volumes.
Best regards

'hardware malfunction nmi parity check / memory parity error the system has halted'
Please tell me how i can install 2 Os xp home edition and Windows 2003
thanks

Hi
This error message can occur if a hardware component malfunctions, or if there are damaged or incompatible drivers installed.
To solve this problem remove any extra memory modules that are in the computer, leaving only the least amount that is required for the computer to start and run Windows. Restart the computer to see whether the error messages persist.
This issue was described on the Microsoft website.

Re: Windows XP and Satellite T110-11J

Hello,
on your computer Toshiba Satellite T110-11J I want to install Microsoft Windows XP. I wonder if the drivers installed on this website is for 32bit system or 64bit system.
Thank you for your answer

Hi
The Win XP 64bit was not really popular and mostly the 32bit version has been used the drivers are for 32bit OS but in some cases would work with 64bit

Reformat vista to windows xp on Satellite P200 - i need controllerdriver

Its possible install in Windows XP SP2? What is a procedure to start this installation? I ve found a problem with driver controller when i ve started with windows xp installation......
I ve big trouble with Vista. My applications are "certified for Vista" but send in crash blue screen this stupid operating system :-(((((((
I dont want work with Microsoft for free to resolve their problems... pack problems? :-)
This a last time to fall in MS world....
Next time i buy a mac. If i must restart from zero is sure restart very well in a paradise.
Help me please.........

> Ive found a problem with driver controller when Ive started with windows xp installation......
I dont know what problem you have found but Im sure that this is not a real problem but simply unknown user ;)
I think you have to install the Intel Matrix Storage manager if you want to install an OS.
During the XP setup procedure you have to press F6 to install this iMSM from external USB FDD.
If you dont have the external FDD drive you can include the iMSM using the software called nLite, Its for free and very nice ;)

Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) - Fingerprint and webcam don't work on Windows 7

I am using a Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) and have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
However the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility and Chicony Web Camera Assistant Software both don't work. I have checked and there are no new updates on the Australian website.
Can you please help me out with these two issues?

Hi Boarder
Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried the Vista drivers and the US Toshiba page, unfortunatley neither work.
I went to the Upek website for the bio finger print software which is two fold over the latest version supported by Toshiba for Vista. I'll wait to see if Toshiba bring out a version for Win7 as the one I downloaded is limited, otherwise I am happy to pay approx $15 for the full version.
I really need the webcam to function though. I think the driver is ok, just need the sofware to run the inbuilt camera.
Cheers

Is Satellite P200-1C2 (PSPB6E) 64-bit Windows 7 compatible?

Hey Guys,
I got one question there:
I've been trying to find drivers for my Satellite P200 PSPB6E, and I found pretty much all but there is no VAP for the 64-bit version of Windows 7...
I tried the VAP of the Satellite P500 Series and it works more or less but the FN-Hotkey Button won't bring up the flash cards! (that's my major problem so if I could solve that one, the following is not that important)
So my question is, is there the possibility that Toshiba will provide a VAP for Win 7 64-Bit or is that notebook just to old and not compatible anymore?
Or is there another way to grab those drivers I need for those funktions?
Thanks guys!
greets,
Rough

As you know Windows 7 is already long time on the market and if Toshiba didn't offered Win7 64bit stuff until now I don't think it will happen in the future.
What you have done is right. You can try one more thing, to find Flash card support utility for other notebook model and try to install it on your Satellite P200.
I am not sure this will help but you can try it.
Check also flash cards settings and enable option Allow the mouse to bring up the cards. Maybe this option will help you to see use flash cards using mouse pointer.

Satellite P200-P100 - Black screen after a Windows 7 update

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P200-P100 running Windows 7.
A few weeks ago, after a Windows 7 Update, my monitor would not show any image, it would light up, but still no image. Not even the BIOS it would load.
I fixed it by using System Restore using another monitor. The same happened again today, I must have ran the same update, but this time a system restore did not solve it, neither did reinstalling Win 7.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Spre3

Hi
You mean you cannot see anything on the internal nor the external monitor even switching the display output pressing the FN + F5 buttons???
Hmm. in my personal opinion this has nothing to do with the Win 7 update
I mean the Win 7 OS update/installation should not affect the BIOS and you should be able to access the BIOS even if no operating system would be installed on the HDD!!!
So I assume the whole issue could be related to the motherboard issue or some parts placed on motherboard
Did you try this?
Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor
Then wait a little bit (1hour) and then connect both parts again.
Then try to power up the unit
If this will not help then the RAM modules should be checked.

HDD and memory upgrade on Satellite P200-17C

Hi there
I own Satellite P200 17c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2gb. I would like to upgrade it to DDR2 PC2-6400 4gb ram. Can i do that and is there going to be some improvement of the speed if I upgrade to PC2-6400 instead PC2-5300?
On my P200 17c I have 2 HDDs. 2x100gb. I would like to upgrade one of those two HD from 100gb to 320gb 5400 rpm. Can i do that? and is it going to be some difference if I upgrade with HD that has 7200 rpm?
Thank you

First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum RAM capacity of 4GB but please be aware that you wont be able to use the full 4GB due to some chipset limitations which are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm
Regarding the module speed: the chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not enhance your speed when installing faster modules.
If you would like to upgrade your harddisk then just do it like you want, because there shouldnt be any limitations, you can install a drive with 7200rpm together with a slower one.
The only difference will be that the faster drive will be faster. The whole system performance would only raise when youre installing your OS on the faster drive (which is recommendation from my side :) )

Downgrade From Windows Vista Home to Windows XP Pro Dutch on Satellite P200-15N

Not knowing where I really should put this .. I put it in this forum part too :)
So :
Hello,
I bought a new laptop with Vista Home and two Partitions... I would like to install on the Second partition "Windows XP pro" (with official key & SP2 included) !! But when I run the XP Cd I get an error that the HD is not recognized ... So I searched on the forum here to see if there's a possibility to passby it..
So What I did :
1) I download the "Intel Storage Drivers" from ->
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs= 44&submit=Go%21
2) Than I used the Floppy Maker, to make a floppy with the needed drivers (also on the above site)
3) I downloaded a freeware copy of "Nlite"
4) I also downloaded extra drivers from the "Toshiba" Website itself (Lan, Storage, ...)
5) I Made a map "Xp Pro P200-15N" and put all the drivers into it .. Including the Exe I downloaded from the above link Named "iata76_cd.exe"..
6) I made a new bootable Win XP CD with "Nlite" & added all the drivers I've downloaded and followed the given procedure by "Nlite". It made a new bootable CD (with all drivers and .exe's and .inf's, etc...)
7) Then I boot my laptop with the CD, but it still give an error on the sata-drives .. (that It can't be found) ..
So my question is .. What am i doing wrong and what other Drivers should I download to make it work ?? I've got an external USB-Floppy Drive.. If additional Drivers should be added ... So I hope there Is someone Ho can help it..
I install XP for business reasons .. Stuff that the Vista Home can't handle ...
Hope I got a respons soon .. Cz it's like really URGENT..
thx in advance and excuse me if there are errors in my writing (I still Am From Belgium )
*** UPDATE ***
The above method didn't work for me .. So took my USB-Floppy drive and put the drivers on it (hit "F6" on the startup, added the drivers found on the above link, he installed it)...
Then I was able too choose a partition ...
So far everything ok ... It asked me if wanted to format or not .. I said ok ..
Then When he wanted to start copying, I got :
Insert the CD-rom or Floppy with the name
Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver
In station A:
* Press ENTER when Ready ...
And know I don't know what I have to do .. Cz hitting enter doesn't do thing :s
So what Am I doing wrong it's getting really ANNOYING and frustrating ... I did everything they said in the link, did the method with f6, but still now reaction :s .. Anyone ???
Kindly Regards,
Frederic

Hi,
Knowing I went trough a lot of trouble installing my Windows XP on my P200, i'll show you how I did it :) (Cz you need the SATA drivers to have a good install)
1) First of all you need a legal copy of your "Windows XP" OS
2) Go to -> http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName=Windows*+XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs= 44&submit=Go%21 and download the drivers.
3) Download "nlite" and run the programm
4) Nlite will ask you to insert a working copy of "Windows XP", there after it'll ask you a folder where the new Updated XP should be installed (create one like "My P200 Win XP"..), then add only the driver that you need for you SATA drive and burn the new XP
5) Normally after that, you'll be able choosing a partition and install Windows XP together with "Vista"..
6) Install all the needed drivers on XP (don't worry if you can't choose your old VISTA)
7) After you installed, if you would like a "DUAL Boot" with Vista you have to install VistaBootPRO to install a correct Bootloader
8) After that go on VISTA and install "EASYbcd", you'll have to assign XP the correct Drive letter (you can change the name from "older version" to "windows XP".
9) Normally you'll be able booting XP and VISTA
But now, i'm still searching how to make my sound work ..
Sorry for my bad english :p I'm dutch-speaking
Hope this little tutorial will help some people who are having the same problems as I did

Satellite P200-1B6: Sound Driver update fails and HD-DVD Player doesn't work

I have just bought a Satellite P200-1B6 laptop and spent the day installing the updates recommended by the TEMPO program. One of these was a Sound Driver update from RealTek but on running this it fails about 80% of the way through with an error: 'Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !!'.
Now the Toshiba HD DVD player fails to start with an error 'Unable to output the video to an external device.
Please switch your display device by pressing the Fn + F5 keys after ending the application'. I've tried this but it seems to have no effect.
I'm now regretting starting to update the installed drivers. Should I try to rebuild the machine using the recovery discs or is there another solution that someone has found? Or have others found the upgrade works?
Any advice welcome

Last month I upgraded my PC Satellite P200 (BIOS, Driver ATI HD2600, Package VAP and HD-DVD Player).
But after this update, I was no longer be able to read my HD-DVDs
Error message was: "Unable to send the video to an external device. Please turn off the display device."
The problem was much of the update Realtek R1.76 (Realtek Sound Driver - 6.0.1.547 - 20/11/07) currently proposed on the site toshiba.
Indeed, the P200-1DE is equipped with Realtek ALC268 Audio Codec.
The latest update of this codec is R1.89. I downloaded from the site Realtek and it has allowed me to solve the problem.
[http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level= 4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false]
I have no problem since that last update

Webcam on Satellite A500 using Windows 7 and Windows Live Messenger 2009 (14.0.8089.726)

Hello. This is my very first post and maybe I can find a resolution to the problem. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you if you can assist me in resolving the problem.
I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium using the Windows 7 Upgrade Media that was sent to me for my Toshiba Satellite A500. The upgrade loaded successfully. My laptop already had the Windows Live (MSN) Messenger on it when I was using Windows Vista and the webcam worked okay then. Now with Windows 7, when I try to do a voice/video chat using the Windows Live (MSN) Messenger version 2009 (Build 14.0.8089.726), my built-in laptop webcam does not work. When I initiate a voice/video chat, all I get is a big red X next to the webcam icon in the little view area window when it attempts to run. I can receive voice/video from people using MSN Messenger but my laptop can't send out any video. My laptop sends out voice but no video. I un-installed the Messenger, rebooted and re-installed it but it still won't do video output.
Interestingly, when I tried doing a voice/video chat with Gmail, my webcam worked. I haven't tried Yahoo yet. My webcam worked fine before upgrading to Windows 7. I suppose I could just forget about MSN Messenger and use Gmail but not all my contacts use Gmail. I'd like to be able to continue using MSN Messenger if possible.
So I'm posting here to see if there is any resolution or suggestions I can have to get my webcam working with Windows Live (MSN) Messenger. Not the end of the world if I can't make it work again.
Have a nice day. Regards,
Doug
