• Question of updating the BIOS of the Tecra M10

  Hello

  I own a Tecra M10-10 q (abbreviated model: PTMB1E)
  I received a few days ago an automatic alert of Toshiba TEMPRO to inform a new BIOS driver.

  After downloading and extracting the .zip file, I launched the executable: P0065v190.exe
  Asked me to confirm that I want to date of current version BIOS BIOS package version 1.90 1.50

  When I click on 'Yes', I got a popup window titled: "TOSHIBA BIOS Package version 3.2.9!
  with between other precautions, the following statement:
  "Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista before updating the BIOS"

  A google search on what is "BitLocker Drive Encryption" and how to disable it, informs that it is under the heading 'Security' in the control panel.
  However, I can't find anything like "BitLocker", when I click on 'Security' in the Panel!

  So, I cancelled the update procedure. But I like to keep my system uptodate!
  What should I do? Where to find the BitLocker? How to make a such BIOS update?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Windows Bit locker drive BitLocker is a data protection feature that is available ONLY in Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.

  If you don t have one of these versions of Vista, then a Bilocker is NOT available on your preinstalled system!

  With regard to the update of the BIOS;
  I'm always that notice; never change a running system; so, if the laptop works properly and without problem a BIOS update is not necessary that s my personal opinion

  See you soon

• Can Qosmio G35 - I update the BIOS to version 3.40?

  I've owned a G35-AV600.

  I download the file to update the BIOS ACPI of Flash by using the provided file 'qg35v34.exe '?

  I started to run the file, but I had a windows "enforcement" for several minutes with almost no disk activity. I assumed that the update of the BIOS is wrong and stopped manually (crazy, I know!).

  However, the laptop seems to continue working.

  Any suggestion? Should I run it again?

  I'm really confused. With other laptops and PC computers, the BIOS updates worked just fine and fast.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello!

  For the Qosmio G35 is already version 3.80.

  Download the latest version here and try again:

• Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64-Bit Windows 7 updated - update the BIOS?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G50 that I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. My BIOS is unupdated for 6 months when I bought the machine.

  I went to update the BIOS, just to keep things updated, so I went through the pilot Online Assistant:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  And all information entered above, it provides:

  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090312131718.zip

  After having unpacked and P0060v210.exe running, he extracted, and then said:

  "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. "(Word to all my friends of Googling!).

  Toshiba has an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio G50 is supported on Windows 7? Specifically for the 64-bit? They need to fix this glitch which orders to download this file when it is not clearly supported by Windows 7.

  Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine - but I was nervous about going through the update if it didn't initially support Windows 7, so I do not continue to the next prompt. Is it safe to do? Has anyone else in this situation he does without problems? I read the BIOS updates can go horribly wrong, if not careful, so I hesitate to update the BIOS by performing the update in compatibility mode when it doesn't support Windows 7 on its own!

  Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.

  Hello

  I agree with bljuzga_1.
  Because the BIOS is independent, it shouldn't be a problem with the update using Win 7 OS.
  The error must be linked to your installed Win 7 OS and not the BIOS bug.

  It would also be possible that your value added package for Win 7 is not installed correctly.
  This package contains the TOSHIBA components common driver which is an essential component of the Windows operating system. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

• Can I update the bios with software for windows vista?

  I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

  Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

• How can I update the BIOS without windows on V3 - 372

  I bought an ACER V3-372-57CW and refuses the computer at startup (the Green ACER splash screen at boot EFI appear same) when my Tablet WACOM Intuos 4 (if not fully functional) is inserted any USB port. Customer service Acer not recognize wanted to nor register the question so my last hope is that a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  I'm used to the manufacturers supplying utilities executable flash BACK running under FreeDOS etc but for the Acer V3 - 372, I can only find an executable for Windows 10. Of course, uninstalling the entire system just for the update of the BIOS is not a viable option.

  Is it possible to get either one executable for the update of the BIOS BACK or something that could be used from within Linux (with EFI)?

  Thank you

  Masquilier,

  At the present time, I have installed on my Windows computer.  If someone were to tell me that I needed to install another operating system to update the BIOS, I don't think it was a big deal.  I would like to...

  1. create a system with the Windows image backup

  2 clean the clean disk with 'diskpart '.

  3. install any OS they told me that I had to install.

  4. update of the BIOS

  5. after updating the BIOS, I would just wipe the drive with diskpart and restore my Windows system image.

  6. it would take me less than 45 minutes to accomplish steps 1 through 5.  Probably about 30 minutes to be honest.

  Use my logic.  Except that I'm not a Linux expert and don't know how to do what I tell you with Linux.  Just google it.  I see that some people use clonezilla, but I don't know there is a command to do the same.

  Check with the Ubuntu forum and tell them what you need to do and I'm sure it's possible.

  Important note: own Diskpart is priceless, if you n-front-rear of switching between the old modes and UEFI... or deleting partitions... or clean installation of an OS.  However, make sure that you don't accidentally wipe the bad drive (drive).  Be careful.  There is step-overs.

• Can Equium P200 (PSB5E) - I update the BIOS on Windows 7?

  Hello.

  My question is: how to upgrade the BIOS under Windows 7? My Bios version is 1.70, I've seen, this version 2.50 is available for download, but only under Vista.

  Can it run Windows 7?

  Hello

  First question;
  Why do you update the BIOS?
  Is the reason for this?
  If the laptop runs successfully a BIOS update is not necessary!

  Now back to the issue of BIOS;
  Some laptops have special need BIOS for Win XP or Vista.
  So if you are using XP or Vista, then you must use the BIOS that was designed for one of these windows systems on the European driver Toshiba page you can see a column of OS that provides the info for what BIOS OS is designed.

  But in most cases, the BIOS is OS independent, which means that you can use it in any Windows operating system.

  Simply said; If the BIOS is available for Vista, then you can only use it with Vista.
  If it s independent OS, you can use it with Win 7, Vista or XP

• Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

  Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:

  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS

  In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
  My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

  My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

  Hello

  > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
  You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
  So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

  If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running

• E531 update the Bios with WIndows 10 installed?

  Is it possible to update the BIOS with 10 Windows installed on E531?

  I don't see W7, W8, and XP

  Yet once, have solved this problem, I thought I would share with others who may have the same or similar issues.

  I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install. Installation BIOS itself is a little funky; I saw the screen go completely white for a while without message about progress or anything like that. But ultimately it ends and works well.

• Y510P Windows starts only after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I updated the BIOS of 3.05 to 3.08 and the unit starts, loads for a little, blue screen of death and then begins. All the solutions to this problem?

• I have improved my AZC-606 to 10 Windows without updating the BIOS of last year

  This is a step that I completely missed, as far as I know at the time, that acer had no information about the update and it's the first time I installed a Windows operating system - zero that I leaned on for the characteristics of the facility he said nothing about the BIOS (and there was nobody at Acer). Windows 10 has worked without problem on the machine. The only problem I had on a regular basis (and not always, but most of the time) is when the computer restarts it stalls on the Acer screen. I usually don't bother using the option restart. All that said, my experience of Windows 10 has been pretty good, and the machine running on most of the time was reliable, but I'm at a point where I want to go back and do a clean Windows installation.

  Now, I used the media creation tool to make an ISO. But the last time I used the MCT to paste directly to a flash drive, then maybe I'll do that once again. On the BIOS, I am a total n00b, so I don't know anything about. I assume it's something that I can still do / have done for me before installing Windows if I didn't not messed up already enough things. I'm kind of fishing for the answers that I have not yet to have questions for.

  What are my options, and what is the best option for me at this point? As I said, the Windows front-end runs under the best conditions in the State, and this backend that can go on is just invisible to me. Restart the computer just seems out of whack.

  Sorry to be verbose and vague.

  Since you always have a working windows installation, you can update now, and then perform the clean installation.

  Updating the BIOS is very simple and simply follow the instructions in the Readme inside the zip package.

  But firstly check you current BIOS version:

  key of the Windows logo + x

  Run

  type

  Msinfo32

  Check the BIOS DATE/version

  the latest version of the BIOS is P11. A4

• ACER ASPIRE 471 - E1: UPDATE THE BIOS CRASH

  HELLO, I NEED HELP ON THIS.

  I WAS updating THE BIOS ACER ASPIRE E1 - 471 VERSION 2.11 to 2.18 BUT GOT IN FAILURE, WITHOUT NORMAL MORE to IGNITE.

  WHEN UPDATING THE FILE ORIGINAL WITH THE HELP OF THE ACER SUPPORT WEB SITE, RESTART THE LAPTOP TO WINDOWS POWER ON A BACK PAGE AND DISPLAY IT ON THE SCREEN...

  UPTATING:

  TRUE BIOS VERSION: ZQS 2.11

  NEW VERSION OF BIOS: ZQS 2.18

  PROGRESS...: 0% AND SCOPE WITH A 100% SUCCESS

  AFTER THIS, THE LAPTOP REBOOT AGAIN AND POWER BLUE LED LIGHTS UP BUT NO SCREEN...

  AT THE START OF THE LAPTOP, HARD DRIVE MAKING NOISE OF POWER ON AND.

  NO SCREEN, THE COMPUTER PHONE IS FREEZE.

  ON THE BACK THE INFORMATION OF THIS LAPTOP, THE BOOK SAYS:

  Aspire E1-471-6683

  MODEL NO.: ZQT

  .....

  SNIDS: 31300078979

  So Original BIOS was ZQS but the model said ZQT?

  I have not found a repair for this model, so cannot move too much by myself.

  I found some instructions on the use of USB with the FCN + ESC + Power Buttom combo...

  The use of files with. FD extension inside the USB key.

  I tried 1 for the test and the thing happens as users said.

  Power Led flashes, USB Stick will blink for a few seconds, and then restart laptop.

  BUT STILL FREZZY.

  I think I use the wrog. FD file.

  ACER support website has none. This model in the FD file (or any other type of file, hit. EXE, a)

  You can with ACER Support me?

  Thanks, it is a client of the portable computer of mine, I'm kind of scared at the moment.

  OK, thanks for the reply.

  I got the sollution and will share with you now.

  [edited to conform to the guidelines]

  YOU WILL NEED TO FORMAT A USB STICK WITH FAT (16) PARTITION STYLE.

  -------

  NOW, THE SECRET OF. FD FILE

  YOU MUST PUT IN THE USB THIS FILE WITH THE EXTENSION. FD, BUT THE ACER DOWNLOAD SITE IS ENOUGH. EXE TO THE INSTALLATION, SO YOU GO ON ANOTHER COMPUTER (INCOMPATIBLE WITH ASPIRE E1 VERSION) AND RUN THE FILE...

  YOU RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE, BUT NOT CLICK NOW ON ANY BUTTON.

  NOW, OPEN WINDOWS EXPLORER AND GO TO C:\USERS\(USER ACCOUNT)\AppData\Local\temp\7zS4F0C.tmp

  INSIDE THIS FOLDER, YOU CAN GET THE ST. FD FILE (PERHAPS ZQS.) FD)

  THAT COPY ON USB KEY AND CLOSE THE ERROR MESSAGE. (FOLDER WILL DISAPEAR AFTER THAT)

  WITH THE FILE INSIDE OF THE SECONDARY KEY, FOLLOW THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

  BASICALLY:

  Steps for the USB storage device BIOS recovery

  To create a crisis USB key, perform the following steps:
  1. format the USB storage drive using the Quick Format option.
  2. save the ROM file (filename: ZQS.fd) in the root directory of the USB storage device. Make sure that there are no other file BIOS stored in the same directory.
  3. plug the USB storage on USB device.
  4. press the button, then connect power cable.
  5. the power button flashes once.
  6. press the Power button to start the CRISIS of the system mode.
  7. when the CRISIS is over, the system auto restarts with a possible BIOS.

  AFTER THAT

  8. update the latest BIOS version for this machine of normal BIOS flashing process.

  YOU MAY HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM LIKE ME, AFTER RECOVERING FROM CRISIS, BIOS NOW SEE THE ANY HARD DISK, SO YOU MUST UPDATE THE BIOS AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER TOOL LIKE HIRENSBOOT HELP FIXITURE MINI_XP.

  BUT IT IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION.

  THANKS FELLOWS.
