Failed to create the floppy disk to update the BIOS on the Satellite 1800-712

I was given a Satellite 1800 712 with buggy BIOS (power went down while flashing) then now when the laptop is on a sign shows
BIOS (Block2) is damaged! (Call the repairman)
and so on...

I downloaded the latest bios for the laptop, but when I try to follow the instructions given (unzip, insert a formatted 1.44 MB floppy, run the *.exe file and a 1.44 MB must be created) nothing happens. When I run the exe (chgbiosa.exe) if I am running windows xp nothing happens and if I'm running BACK said "initial mistake.

In the Archives of the bios is a readme. It says that I need to copy files (BIOFC72T.COM and CHGBIOSA. (EXE) on a 1.44 MB diskette. Well, it is not helped either.

Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Hello

I found this thread in the forum:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19801&MessageID=72625

The case described in the thread above is very similar to your question.
According to this message that every newer BIOS has a protection mechanism which means that even in the case of an incomplete process of flashing, the area responsible for in the BIOS flash for the upgrade is never deleted.

Generally you should contact the service point in your country for this problem, but perhaps the description in the other thread will help you.
But you know, everything you do is at you own risk

  • Failed to create the Conference ' 8801 - Test connection '-duplicate digital id

    Running 13.1 TMS and Codian 8510 SD blade running 4.20 (1.43)

    When I'm planning through TMS using this card, I get the following error:

    Failed to create the Conference ' 8801 - Test connection '-duplicate digital id

    However when I'm planning TMS using another slide with the same version of the software it works

    Can someone tell me why this is happening?

    Anthony

    We had the same problem with > = 20 conferences on the blade, and I can tell you that we had the same thing

    question and the question went after the 4.2 update (1.50) and TMS13.1.2 (if the MCU upgrade)

    alone must fix).

    And, you got the point in your last message, > = 20 conf == problem,.<20 =="no">

    What I have is that the API MCU always reported only the first 20 conferences.

    TMS has created the new conference (and I also saw a new reserved (e) of the Conference on the MCU)

    but TMS checked once again if that's really where went wrong because he was not listed in the breast of the

    first of all 20 and if it failed.

    Codian updates may take some time until the blade is up again after the reboot, so be patient :-)

    Good luck!

  • Error 5: Access is denied: failed to create the installation directory...

    I am installing an "Advanced System Care" program I get an error message, Setup failed to create the directory 'C:\users\arthur\appdata\local\temp\is-rukl.temp '.

    error 5 access is denied

    I realized today that I think I got this error on several things, I tried to install recently.  I thought it was a problem with the actual program installer.

    I have no idea where to start even.  Thanks for any help you can give me

    The problem is with the security permissions on the temp of your profile folder. To correct it access %Temp% or C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local and right click the Temp folder and choose Properties, then click the Security tab, and click Advanced.

    On the permissions tab, you should see the permissions that are there. There are 3 that are:

    'SYSTEM' with a total control that applies to "this folder, subfolders and files.

    "Administrators" with full control that applies to "this folder, subfolders and files.

    "Your username" in the full control that applies to "this folder, subfolders and files.

    and all 3 must be inherited from the folder C:\Users\[Username]\.

    If you have the option "Include the permissions that can be inherited from the parent to this object" checked, then check it and click on continue if there are problems, then remove the permissions that are not inherited.

    Once you click on 'Apply' and click 'OK', you must have the permissions to write to the directory and you won't get the error messages more.

    Hope this has solved your problem

    Thank you

    Jim

    Found the problem and it's nothing to do with users, groups, and permissions of files (tmp or anything else besides!)

    The problem was that I had not put the sysconfig according the upgrade installation Notes & R12.2 for Linux x 86-64 ( note 1330701.1 )

    I guess the bum steer, which gives install them quick - is indicating that the question is a problem of permission of the files in / tmp, when it is not really!

    The only thing I can think is that it uses sysconfig content to add the name of host or domain, the file name, he tries to put in / tmp.

    hope this helps

    How can we solve the above error?

    Hello

    It seems you are trying to instantiate a new instance of the vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder class using code similar to the following:

    var host = ...; // vCAC host object
    var ef = new vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder(); // instantiate vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder
    var groups = ef.getBusinessGroups(host); // retrieve business groups
    

    You can't do that; vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder is a singleton script and cannot be instantiated. You must use the name directly as in the following code:

    var host = ...; // vCAC host object
    var groups = vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.getBusinessGroups(host); // retrieve business groups
