I couldn't start Ms Windows after the BIOS upgrade form v1.05 for v1.08 with Acer Aspire V3-371

Dear Acer

I just buy an Acer Aspire V3-371, then I delete all partitions on the HARD disk and install the driver for this laptop and MS Windows.

Everything is OK until I Upgrade BIOS form v1.05 for v1.08. Now he cannot start MS Windows and tells me 'No Bootable Device'.

I try to reinstall MS Windows, but I see a notice "Windows cannot be installed on this drive" with details "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed to GPT disks.

What is going on? How could I solve this problem?

Thank you.

Phan Tung.

  • Edge 13 - start is not after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I have a Thinkpad Edge 13 0196 - 32G and had problems with the battery capacity. Windows 7 has shown a red cross next to the battery icon, battery lasted very little).

    A representative of the Romanian Lenovo Lenovo Support suggested that I have make a few updates in the following order:

    -last update of the BIOS

    -last Power Manager

    -last power manager driver

    -latest firmware of the battery

    -perform a battery to reset using Power Manager

    I downloaded the above and started the process with update of the BIOS, but during the final phase, if the update, the computer stops suddenly (I wasn't looking at the screen at that moment), and the computer is now * try * to begin with, but it seems not somehow.

    Here's what happens:

    -the Red led lights up every now and then, during short periods of time (~ 1 second)

    -When it turns off, I hear a sound mechanical sorting of the left side of the laptop, I believe it's from the hard drive

    -the process repeats indefinitely

    -I can shut down the computer by pressing the button for a few seconds.

    I'm desperate! How could this have happened?

    Please give me some clue as to how I can start the computer and solve this problem - I have some very important documents on the hard drive.

    Thank you

    Change later [1]: I tried to install the BIOS version is 1.19-1.13(6YET36WW)/1.24-1.13(6ZET37WW)

    (that's what he said when I start the BIOS Setup

    Change later [2]: I read in the file read me the utility to update the BIOS if the computer crashes, you should unplug the power and remove the battery, then put back them and try to start the computer - it worked, and now I'm in the last stages of the above mentioned battery update procedure.

    For those expierencing a battery problem with their ThinkPad Edge 13 with machine type models 0196, 0197, 0492, it would be prudent to first check this firmware for you the battery.

    A few other steps you can take with your machine in addition to those you listed is a discharge of static electricity. Here's how to make the discharge of static electricity:

    • Unplug the power supply
    • Remove the battery
    • Unplug cords or express cards
    • Press the button power 10 times and the 10th press hold for 30 seconds

    In addition, you also meet noise hard drive? If so, can you describe the noise you hear?

  • NB200 does not start after the bios - screen black screen with blinking cursor

    Hello

    I was using the laptop as usual when I think there may have been a virus activity - reason I say that is that my anti-virus closed unexpectedly. I couldn't restart programs files.

    I restarted the laptop.

    After the bios menu will I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor - windows does not start.

    I did the following:
    (1) create a USB bootable with Recovery Console window XP - boot with this i can see three drives C:, D: as SDA? I can see the content of these disks, so it seems that my HD works. I ran a fixmbr and fixboot, but this has not solved the problem.
    (2) create a Kaspersky bootable USB virus scan - ran it without problem - he found a few question (not on the disk boot sector) I've fixed.

    An option was to copy files from the laptop and then start it in recovery mode - so Itried to run the phone into recovery mode hold down the 0 key at startup - the bottom of the screen then displays * HDD Recovery mode * and nothing happens.

    Any help - other options would be greatly appreciated.

    My 1 year of that guarantee has expired a few months back so can't send in for repair.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I doubt that it is a virus.
    Seems the file system is damaged on the HARD drive and this is the reason why the laptop does not start until it could also be a partition of HARD disk malfunction.

    Try this; Turn on the unit, press F8, and then check if you have the laptop repair.
    If this is not possible, then you will need to reinstall new OS.

    Here you can order a recovery disc:

    Of course you will need an external USB CD/DVD drive

  • Satellite U400 - after the BIOS update I can't start Windows

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite U400, PSU44E and Win XP. After you have installed the new BIOS v. 3, 80-WIN32, it is not possible to start Windows, it always ends in restart. It is also not possible to reinstall Winsdows, as it always ends with the blue screen.

    Any help or suggestion?
    How can I install back my backup BIOS BACK?

    Hello

    Did you really choose the good BIOS for your laptop? Because on the Toshiba site Web are different models U400 has so you choose for PSU44E BIOS on Toshiba page?

    After the BIOS, you should load the default settings in the BIOS.
    Did you check that?

    A downgrade from the BIOS is not possible. This is possible only from an authorized service provider. So, you should contact them and ask a technician for help. I m sure they will help you. ;)

  • Satellite P200 - after the BIOS update I can't start the machine

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

    Hello
    I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

    My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
    I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

    If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

    Check this box!

  • Satellite A300 - after the BIOS update I can not install two OS

    Hello everyone:

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-247 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Then I formatted it and divided the hard (320 GB) into 6 partitions and installed Windows Vista and Windows XP on drive C to drive D after having changed the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for compatibility. The computer worked well with 2 operating systems. However, when I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, two operating systems stop working and one of them can be installed: XP can be installed when SATA controller mode is placed on compatibility and Vista can be installed only when the SATA is changed to AHCI.

    Is there is no explanation of what past? And can I install operating systems 2 together again?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that this has something to do with the BIOS update. I think that after the BIOS update HARD drive mode has been changed from AHCI to compatibility and therefore the OS didn't start.

    Anyway, in compatibility mode you can install Vista and XP without the SATA drivers. This should t be a problem.

    But do you know the difference between compatibility and AHCI? AHCI mode is faster and therefore I would recommend this mode.
    Like you said Vista you can already install in AHCI mode and for XP, you need Intel Storage Manager. This package includes the SATA drivers you need and here is a step by step guide to use these drivers:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

    Last but not least, you can install 2 OS. You can do what you want! ;)

  • Ports Satellite A135 - S2306 defective USB after the BIOS update.

    OK, I searched all over the internet and not found anyone else with this same problem, or anyone with a solution that worked for me.

    A few weeks ago, I had the common error of the BIOS reset itself and asking for a password at startup. I took my local Toshiba authorized repair center, and they have not taken care of him, no problem.

    Since the resume, however, all 4 of my USB ports have been going crazy. What happened in the following three steps (in order):
    -One of the ports does not work at all, won't provide any current or even recognize that nothing is connected.
    -The 3 remaining ports are now only recognized as USB 1.1 ports, not USB 2.0 as they were before.
    -Now, only a very small number of my devices is not at all, with three USB mouse and two unrecognized hard drives work (I get the error message "USB device not recognized" standard Windows when I connect them to one of the three ports).
    I am running Vista Home Basic (32 bit) with SP 2 and the new version of the BIOS is v1.60.

    Is this something people of repair caused when they have unlocked the BIOS and updated? Is this a problem with the new BIOS itself? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Let me know if I let him out any relevant information, I tried to be as complete as possible. Thank you!

    It is not easy to say. I think that would be best to ask guys why it happens or what they have done in the past.
    But have you set the default BIOS?
    Please do; access the BIOS (by pressing F2). Set it to default by pressing F9 (I guess) and save the changes. Restart the unit.
    Access the Device Manager, and then remove all hubs USB and commands from the list of devices. After that reboot the device again. Windows should recognize the devices deleted again.

    Hello

    Seems the CPU and GPU don t run full implementation after the BIOS update.
    Any performance CPU/GPU leads to lower the heat dissipation and this means that the cooling module does not need to execute quickly and very often.

    Check to see if you can change an option is the BIOS.
    You can also try to update a graphics driver and could control Windows 7 power management.
    Power management settings 7 victory could affect CPU and GPU performance to save battery power and reduce the heat dissipation.

How to store history data after the software upgrade? my software is auto-start at the start of the unit, in order to update you have to restart the device.

    If the size of the object you store changes, and then it gets deleted.

    If you change the name of the package where you saved the object, then it will fade.
