Impossible to install Vista on Portege M400 - not compatible with ACPI

Hello

I have a toshiba portege m400.
It has windows xp professional installed SP3 (the former owner he replaced with that of the xp tablet edition - I want to upgrade to vista so I can have the capabilities of the rear shelf!)

In any case, I have a vista version - a version upgrade Home premium.
When I try to install it it comes up with the error:

+' This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed on a computer that supports ACPI. Contact the manufacturer of your computer for an update of the BIOS, or install Windows on an ACPI compatible computer. " +

When I try to boot from the cd it gets up to when I type in the product key, but then he tells me I have to run this from my current operating system.

I tried to update the BIOS (it is currently 1.8 and I heard vista needs 2.0 at least). I tried to install the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba - BIOS version 3.2.8 site but it says "this computer is not supported" even if I went through the procedure of choice of type of my laptop and spec and the pilot came on his list.
Now I'm pulling my hair out.

Can someone help me please!
Would be to get a full version of vista (not an upgrade version) work and boot from the cd because it seemed to go further like this?

Thank you!

Hi guys

I think I know how you will be able to update the BIOS

I read here in the forum that in very rare cases, you have the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS
So in my opinion, you will be able to update the BIOS if install you the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc.
After installation try to update the BIOS

After the BIOS has been updated you could install the new Vista

See you soon
