BIOS, do not recognize the legacy

I have a laptop of E1-572-5870. It had Windows 7 Home premium House on it.

I had a discussion with one of your technicians that was not helpful. It was to send my laptop old days in a repair center in Texas. This isn't a good solution to say to your customers. I'll take that back to the store and get my money back until I have send it to a repair center. It's a stupid solution!

I am trying to use MBR instead of TPG. Whenever I have install Windows it affects as TPG even if the BIOS is configured to use inheritance. I've updated the BIOS to 2.17 and the question remains. The BIOS is configured to use inheritance, which, from experience, is a MBR partitioning scheme. So, if this is defined, is why my Windows Installer put GPT?

The disk is locked? I need to replace the disc you flashed firmware and requires this setting? There is no value in forcing a 2 TB GPT drive less.

I opened diskpart, cleaned up the score, converted to MBR and tried to install. Windows always ends with GPT instead of MBR.

Should what steps I take to make my MBR partitioning scheme?

Thank you!

Secure boot is disabled by default. If I select UEFI, save, restart, then it gives me the possibility to enable/disable secure boot.

Being an engineer and in industry for 15 years and more, I find it ridiculous that I can't put it on the MBR. Acer did something to midigate a MBR partition scheme. Not sure if it's a BIOS problem, or a problem of firmware on the drive. The fact that the Legacy BIOS option does nothing is fubar. I can do only one thing and that is replace the hard drive. If that fails, I take this back and will never buy an Acer again. I never had this much trouble getting a custom system.

Thanks for the link and the philetus help!

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • 1.60 BIOS does not recognize the USB bootable in Portege Z830

    Hello
    I have a Portege Z830 with BIOS version 1.60. It runs an operating system, ubuntu, (without a windows OS, it is not possible to upgrade the BIOS). I have a USB bootable (debian, created by copying a .iso image using dd) which works on other computers, but not on this one. With the USB at the top of the boot priority, it is not recognized as a device start-up and the computer boots from the HARD drive. The boot is in legacy mode, no UEFI (there is no switch in the menu of the UEFI/legacy BIOS).

    Pointers how to allow a booting from a USB key on this computer?

    Thank you and best regards,

    James

    As you probably know, Toshiba does not support Linux so you can't upgrade the BIOS under Linux OS.
    Also, it is not available to be installed from USB.

    It runs as an application and must be run under Windows running.

    Hi, the CD-DVD-device is not recognized by my Equium A60. It has worked fine for over a year, but now, even if the machine is running and the light comes on and goes off, it is not recognized by the computer.
    It is not in my computer, nor in the list of hardware devices. When you start the computer, the BIOS don't recocgnize it or.

    It seems that it is a hardware problem... Any idea?

  • Pavilion dv6 - 2138ca BIOS does not recognize mSata

This has been installed in the slot msata, but from the start, the BIOS laptop does not recognise andboots off the portable drive 2.5 inch (also a SSD). On enter in Windows 8, Disk Manager does not see the drive. I can only conclude that the BIOS has not considered or the other.

    In an article without report, we noticed that the BIOS does not recognize the wifi cards much either, but I'm not concerned about it at the moment. Just want the problem of msata. I mean what would the e point of having an msata slot if you could not use it right?

    Hello

    This site is NOT for an mSATA SSD. It's a location miniPCIe for a TV tuner. I saw some people modding the BIOS, it could be used as a slot mSATA, but I don't think it would work on your laptop. The only successful modding has been reported on some HP ENVY 15-3000 with generation processors Intel first. However, I can help you with the list of authorization for incompatible wifi. That can be removed and users can use any wireless card they want.

  • Satellite M50-A-110 does not recognize the new SSD?

    Hello

    I bought the M50-A-110 model and tried to replace the HARD drive by a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. The laptop does not recognize the SSD drive, so I sent him to the local Toshiba service for inspection.

    They discovered that the laptop does not recognize ALL of the latest SSD (they tried to Samsun, Intel, Crucial, Kingston and SSD Seagate). They checked, and I possible newer BIOS, so this isn't a problem, and the SSD worked fine on other computers.

    Someone knows how to solve this mess?
    Toshiba has a BIOS beta I could try?
    Any other ideas would be welcome.

    As a user of long date Toshiba, I must say that I am a little disappointed. I mean I work in it, and this is the first time that something like this happened to me with a new product.

    Hello

    I can't believe that Satellite M50 - A can not handle any of the mentioned SSDS.

    I upgraded my Toshiba laptop with SSD Pro 840. But before I did, the update of the firmware of SSD was necessary. Before the firmware update, the SSD has failed, after the firmware update, BIOS can handle the SSD.

    I would recommend to check the SSD for the firmware update!

  • Satellite R630 - 11L - sometimes did not recognize the SSD drive

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite R630 - 11L and I just bought a Corsair F120 SSD for her, but my laptop a few times did not recognize the SSD drive and fails to start occurs. I searched on the Internet concerning the issue, but there are any topic related to my problem. in recent days, I have updated my bios but the problem remains. for example if I put the computer to sleep and he never wake ups as it should be. the blue windows screen 7 failure comes and an error message 'could not access the windows volume. If portable succesful started without problem occurs until I reeboot the computer. so most of the time I have to restart computer about 5 - 6 times to work normal. At the same time, I opened a topic on the corsair website. They told me to test my drive on another computer, so I test it on laptops, dell and hp to my friends, but there is no any problem don't like this.

    So I test my ssd on an another toshiba laptop R630 which has a different hardware configurations, the problem remains that laptop too...

    So I think toshiba may provide a bios update to fix this problem. This laptop really great, so I don't want to buy another.

    y at - it advice to solve this problem?

    concerning

    Hi machka,.

    > I think that here is the toshiba support forum. is not here?
    Here he s a Toshiba forum, that of right, but you can only chat with normal users like you and me. You will not find someone from Toshiba here.
    The forum is provided Toshiba but for Toshiba users to exchange experience on different products.

    So I think that the Quad is just. No one can say that every SSD is compatible with all computers. You need to understand this!
    There are hundreds of different players and computers on the market and I m sure that no one can test a new computer with all SSD on the market. This is not possible, because it takes a lot of time and more expensive laptops that I think.

    So if the SSD doesn't work, there is nothing that you can wait for the BIOS update.
    Otherwise, you must purchase another SSD. Alternatively, you can ask a service provider allowed in your country, maybe that technicians have already experience with some SSD in Satellite R630. Just ask for that, they are the first contact for you! :)

  • TS15g067cl laptop: memory card reader does not recognize the card

    The card reader does not recognize the cards.  It does not have a drive location (example: f drive).   This makes it impossible to veiw the files or photos on any (I tried six different) of my SanDisk SD cards.  I can't find anywhere to downlod corrected card rhe read updates update drivers or BIOS for my system.   I just bought this computer 1 week ago and do not understand why I read in the forums about driver issues of card reader for the last year.  Windows 8.1 has been out for some time.  Why HP would sell these computers without updating the software to make them work as they should?

    Thanks for the info.  Disk management does not show the drive.  The problem was resolved after reloading BIOS, as suggested in another post.

  • Portege 7220 does not recognize the Extension of memory (Kingston)

    Hello

    Recently, I wanted to update my old notebook, Portege 7220 with a 256 MB Stick of Kingston Ram. According to their website, it should work, but the machine does not recognize the memory at all. (just using internal 64 MB).

    I can't upgrade the Bios either, because when I press F12 when the computer starts, it cannot read the floppy drive in the docking station. Do I need a USB floppy drive for that? I tried with a usb key, but it does not work. is there a possibility to redo an update of windows? (Comp running Windows 2000)

    Thanks for your help, much apprechiated.

I tried with a USB but that doesn't work. Isn't there a possibility to do a windows update? (Comp running Windows 2000)

    Only the TRAD of the BIOS version exists for this Portege.
    This means that you will not be able to update the Windows operating system running, but you will need an external floppy drive to perform these updates.

    Regarding your problem of memory;
    Check this box:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5388&ft=m&St=3

    You can find the compatible memory module. It s a PC100 144 pin SODIMM.

    Maybe you used the not-entirely-compatible module or the module is defective

  • Satellite L30-105 does not recognize the 1 GB of additional RAM

    Hi there I hope someone can help me

    I have a Satellite L30-105 PSL33E, which came with 1 GB of ram installed (2 x 512 MB made by TeamViewer)
    and it's terribly slow with vista, not to mention programs.
    The toshiba website says max RAM is 2 GB, so I bought a Kingston 1 GB ram chip to increase the ram to 1.5 GB. I thought should try before moving to 2 GB

    However after installing memory vivid it's show still only 1 GB in windows and in the bios (894 + the rest for video). It has the latest available BIOS on the site 3.10, yet still does not recognize the chip.

    The chip is installed in the lower slot, including the original 512 at the top (closest to the keyboard)

    Are limited to only some of the Satellite of RAM?
    The old subjects indicate if kingston does not work try corsair.
    Other topics suggested to change slots
    Others suggest that it may have only two of the same ram chips in IE 2 x 512 or 2 x 1 GB, you may not have 1 of each

    Can anyone help? everyone knows about similar problems?

    I will not buy any more RAM to try different brands for the same issue to occur

    Hello

    The L30-105 is able to manage the 1024Mo modules in each location it should be able to update the RAM up to 2 GB.

    > Why the RAM 1 GB module cannot be recognized?
    Perhaps the two modules are not compatible with each other
    I would recommend using two identical modules of the same manufacturing
    I use Kingston modules, they are ok for me

  • Tecra M1 does not recognize the DVD drive after replacement

    I am trying to install a new drive CD-RW/DVD-RW on a Tecra M1; However, when the computer does not recognize the drive.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Thank you

    Colin

    For me it s case.
    I would say that the BIOS can't handle the new player properly because of the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings
    Readers slim for computers laptops support setting master/slave/c-salt settings and these settings can only be changed by changing the rider as on desktop drives.
    So it is very important that you purchase a compatible player and supported because disks with incorrect settings will not work.

    Before buying a car, you should ask the service provider to Toshiba for a caught player supported and compatible
