• HP Envy m6 1125dx: how to upgrade the bios and uefi without a hard drive

  I can't install OS, including Windows 8.1 discs. After that I get so far along, installing Windows says there is no hard drive, but it's there!

  I see that my BIOS is outdated. When I download the new BIOS from hp.com, I get an executable file

  which of course does not work on a computer that does not start. I can't find the bios file when I run

  the executable file on another laptop.

  So, I want to update bios and uefi to see if that helps with my problem.

  Quite true.

  See the image below.

  What is necessary to do is to extract the sp66782.exe file to a folder on the second computer.

  Rename A 018, 4. FD file to 018 has 4. BIN and save it to the root of the USB stick.

  Plug the key into a port on the computer laptop problem.

  Press the power button / stop the laptop and immediately press and hold the Windows key and the B key until the phone reacts and starts the BIOS recovery.

  If all goes well, that will recover the BIOS corrupted with the new copy which is on the flash drive.

  There is a detailed description of another method to do this on the thread of the forum according to 3rd party.

  https://www.BIOS-mods.com/forum/thread-success-solved-semi-bricked-a-HP-DV6-3225dx

  Using this method will result in certain risks that you have to accept if you decide to follow this way to unbrick your laptop. Any update of the BIOS manually is risky.

• Lenovo 3000 N500 4BG, flashed the BIOS and cannot start more!

  Hi there, bought a N500 yesterday I was updating drivers, everything worked ok and then I tried to Flash the BIOS with BIOS 6get12ww on site (today) and then after a stop, nothing works anymore.  It ends with the Blue error screen Windows.  I tried many ways to get the system up, so I can copy the old BIOS from HDD (WPHLASH seemed to make a backup before flashing), nothing works.  None of my Linux can start the machine, they are all stop in the middle of the process, Linux Mint starts, but the screen is not readable.

  Also, WinXP and Lenovo CD may not start in windows or the recovery console.

  So, how can I get a copy of old BIOS, or how I can recover from such a problem? No floppy drive, nothing can read hard drive (no CD or DOS or Windows Flash boot floppies could reach the hard drive).

  System has 4 GB of RAM, 250 GB drive HARD and cpu T3200.

  Help, please.

  People, problem has been found and resolved.

  It seems the old BIOS flashing, BIOS setting has changed the HDD SATA type was changed to something other than ID and correct that, regardless of the type of BIOS resolved the problem and the system works now.

• How Flash the BIOS if you cannot start Windows

  Hello

  I have a BIOS virus which prevents ANY version of any operating system Windows to boot at all.

  (Linux will start and run fine)

  So, to solve this problem, I need re-flashing the BIOS.

  Problem is... HP offers only the BIOS as an executable Windows utility.

  Can someone help me figure out a way to Flash the BIOS WITHOUT Windows?

  THX

  Now, in response to this topic, I discovered a solution...

  HPBIOSFILE.exe - writeromfile /-writehexfile /-writehdrfile

  I hope this helps some of you.

  To use this...

  (1) download the executable file (.exe) for BIOS update for your motherboard

  (2) a copy of the program flashing of Award Bios BACK (Google it, easy to find)

  (3) obtain a downloadable copy of the BACK 6.22 (of Microsoft) and create files to start this one.  (possibly another computer to do this).

  (4) start your computer affected in BACK 6.22

  (a) copy the files in a directory

  "(b) using the bold line above... type the name of your BIOS instead of the HPBIOSFILE.exe file ' and run the command.

  You will find yourself with a ROM file, a BIN file and a header file.

  You can now re-Flash your BIOS on your HP computer outside of a Windows environment.

  ENJOY!

• Reinstall the os and software backup extrenal hard drive on newly formatted disks raid o

  I have a gateway dx420s there a HDD 160 GB, I want to do is first of all to buy hard drives of 500 GB to 3 two who will enter the computer and set up in raid 0 stripping data that the computer supports raid 0 or raid 1. first of all I want to save my intire system on an external hard drive. install the two new drives, their formatting, and then configure the raid in the bios. then reinstall the system from the external backup hard drive. My question is - is it possible in this way? It would save a lot of time from having to reinstall the OS and all software.

  Hi DALE_F,

  If you perform a complete PC backup image, you should be able to reinstall this image from backup to the new hard drive.

• Within the last week, that all the folders and files on my hard drive were selected 'read only '.

  I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.

  Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on PC

  Laptop is Windows 7

  Thanks for getting back to me Mick!

  I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.

  I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.

  In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.

  Once again, thank you...

• my creative cloud is still on my hard drive.  I want my info only on the cloud not on my hard drive. How can I get all my info right on the cloud and turn off my hard drive?

  I have information on my drive and creative cloud.  How can I get this info off my hard drive and only in the cloud for my space on my drive hard is freed up?

  Thank you

  @mikeh95269662 - Yes, you can store files in Active CC but have not in your creation Cloud Files folder on your computer.

  Creative application Cloud Desktop open the Preferences and move from the general to the creative cloud tab tab. Then, under the creative cloud Apps tab switch to the files and sync on / off select disabled. This means that no files will be synchronized.

  You can access your files from https://assets.adobe.com/files for downloading and uploading.

• Share a lightroom catalog - Does the catalog and images on external hard drive work?

  I manage a small part of the flow of images overall of the client by updating their prescence web basis with new works and relabelling/download earlier works. I believe that this requires the catalogue and the library of images that will be hosted on an external hard drive that can travel between us two. We work both on PC with LR 5.3.

  The workflow should look like this:

  Customer uploads new images on external hard drive and import LR

  'ClientCatalog' is created

  Flags of pickaxes and creates a Collection of those Picks

  Hard disk is handed to me when I opened "ClientCatalog".

  Make changes suggested in pictures

  Add detailed tags and metadata

  Download on various media sites, social and Web sites

  return the drive to the customer

  Is there a potential problem with this workflow? My assumption is that if everything is housed on the external hard drive, so there is no worries for the catalog with all updates. Can someone find out about potential problems, that I might have forgotten? Are there of "security protocols" you would add in to this workflow (not to mention that everythign on another hard disk mirroring) which would you suggest?

  I came across this problem with my own catalog a few weeks ago. I plugged my external hard drive into a different USB port and everything was gone.

  Not gone, just addressed. It can be re-addressed as required. I think that's enough on MacOs, to name the drive. Under Windows, the details vary depending on the version of the OS (Google for instructions), but it's for Win7:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Windows7/HT/change-drive-letters-Windows-7.htm

  and it's a good idea to assign a drive letter quite a bit more later in the alphabet, to restrict the possibility of ever finding this already taken letter. For example, it might be X: to HDD external , or P: for Plug in car, or anything that makes sense to you...

  After having done this, the re-start of Lightroom and open the catalog, images will be at the first go in offline mode (previously used location not found). To get online, it will be necessary to re - browse the folder parent for all your image files, to reflect its new location under the new reference in car. That done, the location information of catalog for all images and subfolders located under this parent folder, automatically updated. If that parent does not appear in the list of records of LR, you right-click and choose "show Parent". Display LR then reorganizes to reflect this real hierarchy.

  Hello

  Try the following.

  First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your desktop.

  http://download.Macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/Current/uninstall_flash_player.exe

  Once the download is complete, close all browser windows and start the program uninstaller.  Once done, restart the laptop.

  Then, download and install Firefox , then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.

  Close all browser windows before you run the installer of Flash.

  Start Firefox and see if the video play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a command prompt to install the ActiveX component.  Once completed, restart IE.

• How Flash the BIOS on Aspire S3-391 when no present OS?

  I have a new Acer Aspire Ultrabook S3-391-6862.  I want to update the BIOS on the unit, but has difficulty because there is no OS on the Ultrabook again (it came with Win8 on it but I wiped the HARD drive to put Win7 on it).  I downloaded the latest BIOS (BIOS_Acer_2.17_A_A.zip) and unpacked.  It contains 2 files:
  (1) HB2V217.exe (size = 4, 664, 003 bytes)
  (2) Readme.txt (this simply says "Windows flash: Please click on 'HB2V217.exe' to update the bios").

  I then added this "HB2V217.exe" (4 664 003 bytes) the Win7 DVD (I did a DVD ISO, then adds the "HB2V217.exe" of the ISO file, then burned a new DVD of Win7 from this new ISO standard).
  The new DVD of Win7 boots fine, date at which I hit 'SHIFT - F10' to a command prompt, navigate to the "HB2V217.exe" file and run it, date at which it gives me a message error "subsystem required to support the image is not present.

  Other misc notes:
  -If I look inside the "HB2V217.exe" (4 664 003 bytes) with 7Zip, it contains 4 files:
  (1) HB2V217.exe (size = 4564828, but it has the same name, as it is the container for HB2V217.exe 4 664 003 bytes).
  (2) PopMsg.exe
  (3) wFlash.bat
  (4) wFlash.exe

  Obvious questions:
  -Should I copy the 4 files for installing Win7 disc rather than their container?
  -Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Thank you for your help Jean Philippe, although I have now solved the problem, though in a different way.
  To answer your question though, the latest version of BIOS was 2.09.

  My solution was tedious but I downloaded "WinPE", built a flash drive bootable with it, the file copied BIOS "HB2V217.exe" (version 4 664 003 bytes) in the flash drive, booted from the flash player, sailed to "HB2V217.exe" and run it, date on which she flashed BIOS 2.17 new to the Ultrabook and rebooted, and success.

  For anyone who has the same problem, it was my convoluted solution (in a manner of long-term assuming that those who read it are not familiar with some aspects of computers).
  -on another computer, I did the following:
  (1) - download Windows ADK ("adksetup.exe"), which is free (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652).
  2-) plugged a USB key (something more bigger than 200 MB is fine).
  (3) - open windows explore and noted the drive letter of the USB Flash drive, I just plugged.
  (4) - ran the "adksetup.exe" and chose only "Windows PE" of all it's features (I forget if I run 'adksetup.exe' once or twice, but have downloaded more than 3 GB of files in total.
  (5) ' adksetup.exe' run and got a box of command prompt.  I typed in this box (but without the quotation marks):
  (6) "copype x 86 C:\WinPE_x86" (I chose 32 bit (x 86) version, although it may either have worked). "
  7-) after he finished I typed ' MakeWinPEMedia/UFD C:\WinPE_x86 E:.
  (8-) where "E:" is the letter of your Flash drive you noted in step 3.
  -NOTE that it will erase and format your USB Flash drive, so be sure you don't have any data you want to keep on it and make sure that you have given the CORRECT DRIVE LETTER or YOU WILL FORMAT AND LOSE DATA ON a DRIVE OTHER!
  9-) copied the "HB2V217.exe" file for BIOS I unzipped from the zip file, I had downloaded from Acer, for the flash to the root drive.
  10-) moved the to the Ultrabook of Acer and started the Ultrabook USB Flash drive (after setting it's BIOS to boot from the USB ports).
  (11) - target navigation on drive "C:" of the Ultrabook in this is the command line by typing:
  (12)-"c:".
  (13)-"HB2V217.exe".
  (14): the Ultrabook of Acer seems to restart twice because it flashes the BIOS and gives you a course.
  15-) after it's all done, restart the Ultrabook and enter the BIOS to check the version of your BIOS is now new and correct.

  There is probably an easier way to make a bootable stick with Windows on it, but nothing I tried seemed to work, so I was stuck with this complicated scheme.

  It would have been nicer if Acer had provided their BIOS image independent bootable OS as do so many other manufacturers, so you could simply image/burn the image to a floppy or CD/DVD and then Flash bootable BIOS boot media.

  In any case, thanks for your help, and maybe it helps others as well.

• Satellite Pro 6100: cannot get into the BIOS and does not start

  I have a portable Satellite pro 6100, en I was trying to boot from an external USB hard drive. When I activated the second hard drive option in the BIOS it has stopped booting all in all, I can't even get into the BIOS Setup more. All I get is "In touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA" screen with the icons to select the method of priming preferred manually after it's just blank screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left.

  Press ESC or F8 before to turn usually results in fast beeps sounds.
  Press tilde (~) before turn is reflected in the remaining space screen (not even the home toshiba screen appears) and slow Zens sounds.

  Apart from that I can't really do nothing at all.
  I tried to reset the BIOS by disconnecting the battery CMOS/RTC (hoewever, we call it) of the motherboard for a while with no results.

  Turn on/off without the results of HD internal in a white screen with an ERROR 'IDE #0.
  I can always stop by pressing the power button, you don't have to bother on the external hard drive it past I don't even want it works more.

  Suggestions?

  Hello

  I agree with Graeme. Your HARD drive is probably faulty. Sorry, but I don't think that you will be able to use the external HARD drive. The option in the BIOS is not for EXTERNAL HARD drive is just, I guess, for disk HARD placed in select Bay.
