How to test the update of the BIOS?

Hello people,

Yesterday when I looked through the TOSHIBA drivers I noticed that I have not updated the BIOS kit. I entered the download page and taken from there. Well, my mistake, I run the .exe (and I was running some word, winamp and two other applications documents) when I saw that my bios will be upgraded with these applications underway, I got very scared... it took about 20 seconds, and then I had a reboot. For example, my computer has been blocked in boot mode because I have an external HARD drive and flash my bios has been set to USB Legacy - active. I restarted my laptop without external HARD disk and it was very good. My bios has been properly updated... I hope so :)

It is there a way to test if my bios is 100% okay now? And... well I'm lucky or not? : D

Of course, you're lucky :)

If it wasn't, you would have a white screen with nothing. :)

    Hello Jürgen

    In my opinion, if you install the operating system on the unit you you use the recovery CD provided because it has been tested and it works without any problem. But if you want to install another system on your laptop, you can use the original Microsoft OS and all the necessary drivers, you can find the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

    Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
    does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
    where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

    It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

    So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
    1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
    2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

    Any suggestions?

    Sincerely,

    > How to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?
    Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

  • How to access the BIOS on a Pavilion Elite e9237c with mouse and keyboard wireless?

    I have a desktop computer Pavilion Elite e9237 with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I tried to access the BIOS by pressing F10 at startup with no luck, and I can't access any of the other menus for the start-up eiither. I don't have a PS/2 port on my computer, so I can't get a wired keyboard and mouse. Does anyone know how to access the BIOS with this configuration?

    I bought a USB keyboard and he answered in the same way... No bios access. I then studied why it did not work and discovered that it was the way in which he has been connected to the computer. I had initially plugged into a USB hub when he was not working and I moved it directly into a USB port and it works! I plugged my keyboard wireless directly into the USB port and it works too! Thanks for your help... I wouldn't have thought of it if it wasn't for to recommend you the USB keyboard.

    Greetings.

    Just a simple question. I think so.

    How in the BIOS of my laptop? Boils usually to press the Functionkey right (or combination of both) during the startup. My problem is that when I start my Qosmio, I don't see a message that tells me which key support. Can I be missing something (each time?), but I do not.

    I read the documentation that came with my laptop when I bought it, but couldn't find anything out there on how to enter the BIOS.

    Any info is greatly appreciated.

    Willem.

    Most of the settings can be modified from the Toshiba Control Panel utility, if you really need access the Bios here is the procedure on windows 8:

  • Tecra M5 - how to remove the Bios password?

    Hey guys,.

    My Tecra M5 got a password for BIOS from one day to the other, I never told him to do.

    All of my passwords do not work, so how can I reset the password?

    Please help me :)

    I never heard that the BIOS password can be activated only then I m wondering really how that can happen in your Tecra M5.

    You must understand that the BIOS password is a very important protection and we cannot discuss in the public forum about this.
    How to remove the BIOS is not always the same and Tecra, as cell phone business model, is quite complicated procedure of withdrawal of the BIOS and it can be made by Toshiba only service provider.

    I'm sorry.
