Toshiba satellite error code ide #0 error

Check your IDE cable is connected well.
Check your Harddisk jumper is placed vertical and not horizontal.
That might solve your problem.

The hard disk is not responding to the motherboards commands - the disk is dead. Replace it and reinstall Windows using the recovery cd.

to remove the error go to bios setup and change the sata mode ich to IDE.

It's an error being displayed when the primary HDD is not detected.

If you're familiar on how to open-up your laptop,
you can just reseat the cable connected to it.

or if your laptop still has warranty you can call Toshiba's Tech. Support

in bios select the other option then save and restart if is not working again then switch back to IDE native and it should work.

Usually the HDD is set on IDE #0.
The PXE error appears if the notebook tries to boot up from the LAN but the cable is not connected or there is no possibility for LAN booting.

In my opinion there is something wrong with the HDD or the BIOS cannot recognize the HDD correctly. I would recommend checking the HDD pins. Furthermore you should change the booting order in the BIOS.

IDE #0 is your primary hard drive.

Toshiba's System Errors indicate that the error 0201 Failure IDE #0 may be caused by bad contact points where the drive plugs into the laptop chassis. Toshiba recommends pulling the hard drive in and out several times to clean up the male/female contact points.

Toshiba also said that if this doesn't work to contact one of their service centers for assistance.

The contact points solution rarely works, but is worth a try. Most likely, your hard drive failed and needs to be replaced.

This means that it cannot detect the hard drive. Try taking it out of the bottom and putting it back in. If this doesn't work, try another hard drive. If the problem still remains, it is a system board IDE controller issue, and replacing the system board is the only option.

The IDE0 refers to the HDD ide cable connector. It may be faulty or the connection from the motherboard. When booting up pres F2 or Del to see if your HDD is being recognised, if not the cable will ned replacing.
