I updated the BIOS on my dx2250, now NLTDR is missing

I updated the BIOS on HP Compaq dx2250 my wife and then received "NLTDR is missing" press CTR, ALT, delete.  The machine has XP Professional as the operating system.

I used the Windows configuration Option 'R' for copy NLTDR and NTdetect.com by HP help site.  It did not work.  I ran the disk supplied with the machine to see it finds errors and everything was fine.

Thanks for the reply!

I went on another avenue.  Seemed like everything was in good shape as I run diagnostics, might start with a Windows disk in the optical drive.  I felt that most target rich environment was the BIOS, which was the most recent change.  Saw a post somewhere else, which suggests that the new BIOS on his machine was not to find the Windows directory.

I went into the Setup program, changed around such as the BIOS startup sequence and Windows were aligned.  It works now and I cycled many times I took off to try to expedite the departure upward.  Enough for one day, my wife can use his computer and on another slow start Saturday, I will hunt down updates the driver, programs etc.

Thanks again

  • Update the BIOS Alienware x 51 now does not start

    So I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 and a re-install my drivers and using the products download page on another computer Dell drivers and download them to a flash drive and upgrade on the primary computer. I have finished all updates until I got to the BIOS update, I installed in and rebooted my system, now it starts but freezes and does not move to the Alienware Logo. Just to put it out there, I have updated BIOS A08 A14. The screen that I can like normal Alienware Logo screen, showing that I use an Alienware x 51, a bar of blue loading, BIOS Version A14 and then Setup F2 and F12 Boot Options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Zach.

    Hello

    Check in the Bios (for access to the tap water of the F2 key on startup Bios) under the Startup section, look for an option called Boot Mode and make sure that its game in the UEFI. Also, make sure that the Secure Boot option is turned off, save the changes and reboot the system. Let us know how it goes.

    Now my computer boots into a circle.  It begins... window XP blink... I can see a quick blue screen and some info, but too fast to read... then at startup mode without failure, etc, etc, etc! Each option piced it goes back to the circle of frustration.

    I entered F1 and set it for return to the settings by default, but who has not set.  I see several suggestions to pull CMOS jumpers, but fear just start riders pulling and causing damage.

    Someone can give me a step by step repair to understand where and how update BIOS software... is so simple that all reinstall the same file again?  I have the origianl file downloaded on my USB key.  I'm not comfortable with moving forward in fear of more damage!

    THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCE!

    TIM

    NOW FOR THE FINAL SOLUTION:

    Google is my - so true!  I did google how to reflash the BIOs, but I kept? How I was going to do when I've never seen a 'USB key' as an option in the BIOs boot sequence.  I then looked to do the 'flash' of a CD - with the boot BACK on it, files but everywhere I read on line discussing this method - said most flash programs require you to save first the old BIOs files - you can't do from the BACK / BIO Flash or at least I haven't found a way to BACK startup disk!

    NOW, I'M TOTALLY FRUSTRATED!  Now what should I do?  I knew that the 'blue screen of death"contained the error message that I need to know! I just need to read it, but I couldn't because it flashes in a fraction of a second? GRRRRRRRRRR

    WELL!  I grabbed my digital camera Sony - put on 'SPEED' shot!  I started the computer and kept shooting until I captured the screen!  The error message was "0x0000007B"!

    I googled the error message and found this site:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/stop0x0000007b.htm

    I have read on the list of options and decided that the setting in the BIOs should be where I wanted to start.  I changed the setting for the "RAID" to FDI HHD... BINGO!  I'm back in the game!

    SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT FOR FUTURE TECH SUPPORT QUESTIONS!

  • ProBook G3 450: I've updated the bios on my g3 Probook 450 and now potrs usb do not work

    I've updated the bios and after restarting the pc no usb port work and the usb serial bus is not listed in Device Manager. I have not received any error.

    Hi Richrob,

    Usually after the BIOS updates I recommend restoring the default BIOS because some parameters may change or managed power States must be refreshed. If you start at the F10 menu there will be a restoration of the default BIOS on the home page.

    If the USB bus does not return to the top after restoring default values, try to reinstall the USB driver. You can find the latest version for Windows 7 here.

  • Satellite L300 - 20 d - after updating the BIOS, that it does not start now

    Hello

    I bought my wife a Toshiba L300 - 20 d (PSLB8E-0CK00YEN). It came with loaded Vista, which it cannot do.

    My grandson offered also to sort. He has installed a new hard drive, loaded with XP and managed to get almost all the drivers working except the WiFi.

    After spending many hours, he decided to update the bios of v1.8 to v1.9. Since it does not start... It happens with the Toshba screen, start windows normally, then it attempts to load windows, flashing and start the cycle al.

    He has tried default settings, tried a XP disk, setting on the disk, nothing. He just does the same thing in safe mode.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated

    Concerning

    Hello

    The wireless network card is enabled with the hardware switch on the computer laptop and FN + F8? Check this box!

    Additionally, make sure that the latest driver on the Toshiba site is installed, and check the settings of the wireless network adapter TCP/IP.

    Moreover a description that is more accurate than the WiFi works not would be very appreciated.

  • Yet WT8 - after that updating the BIOS 1.6 screen is too bright

    After the update the BIOS to version 1.6, as even the lowest setting of the screen is bright when using the device in a dark environment (e.g. reading in bed). Before the update, I simply set the brightness slider Windows at the lowest level and everything was fine but now it is so brilliant that he hurt the eyes.

    Anyone else with this problem? Is there a solution?

    * Brightness * level is a function of * EC version * (on-board controller).

  • Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

    Hi all

    found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
    I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

    A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

    However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

    But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

    And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

    Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
    Ty for your time in reading :)

    Hello

    > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

    Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
    This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

    So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
    Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

    Good luck

  • Update the BIOS - protected A600 problem

    I'm trying to update my BIOS settings on my laptop (that I was invited to do by the service of Toshiba hardware update).

    I followed all the instructions provided by the program because it extracted and ran the update. However, the computer began the reboot process, but has been 'disconnected' windows (Vista Business) for about an hour now. I don't know how to stop the process without causing serious damage to my BIOS, but this does not seem normal.

    Help, please!

    Hi wilreb...

    I think that the user henharas a bad experience with the BIOS updates.
    I updated the BIOS many times and never had any problems...

    I assume you mean on Tempro software... this software informs you about updates on the Toshiba page. It is not a recommendation for an update, but simply an alert that new updates has been published...

    If your laptop is running properly, then update the BIOS is not really necessary...
    You must follow these tips; never change a running system ;)

    In any case, after the update of the BIOS shouldn't take too long and if she has completed, you should see the new version in the BIOS settings...

  • HP Omen: update the BIOS

    HP support assistant shows that there is the following update:

    HP notebook System BIOS update
    Number SoftPaq SP74378
    version F.34Ap1

    tried to download and install without success

    should I worry?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    No, no need to worry.

    Updated the BIOS/UEFI is not a critical task and I would say that you leave like this for now.

    General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but can introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

    Update/update IF you have any specific questions that you know have been fixed in the new version or for some serious security issues. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

    See you soon!

  • Satellite A210 - update the BIOS didn't

    Hello

    Just tried to update the BIOS on my Equium A210, everything went well until the closing and restarting (which failed).
    He left me with a black screen and an orange to power lights, no back to zero and I only can we get rid of the orange light if I remove the battery.
    OK, what I'm doing now?... is this repairable?

    See you soon

    > OK, what do I do now?... is this repairable?
    Yes and no.

    You can't fix this, but the ASP technician can do that.
    Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP in your country, to solve this
    The technician would be able to Flash the ROM module and I think this should help you.

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

  • Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

    As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

    Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

    So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
    My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

    What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    I found all the Win XP drivers for Qosmio G30 PQG31E!
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Win XP MCE drivers
    XP MCE drivers are the same drivers for Win XP Home or Pro.

    There are also some BIOS 3, 90-WIN and this BIOS is operating system independent. In other words, it works with Win XP and Vista...

    To update the BIOS the common Module must be installed

    Two months ago, I Flash my BIOS to version 5.40 successfully. But now, if I run updatebios.bat (5.50), the system will reboot, but after 1 second laptop each stop. We did update the BIOS. I tried many version of BIOS for my laptop, but without success.

    I have Windows XP installed.
    PS: sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Czech Republic.
    Thanks for any response.

    Hello

    First of all I ve an interesting question;
    Why do you want to update the BIOS? Various problems with the laptop?
    Usually if the laptop run without problem then a BIOS update is not necessary

    However, I downloaded the BIOS and first firs winflash.exe file package, I noticed!

    First you must uncompress the BIOS correctly.
    Then prepare the laptop for the update (AC adapter connected, don t run 3rd party applications and disconnect all external devices).
    Finally, you must run the winflash.exe to start the update of the BIOS and NOT the .bat file!

    Good bye
