• Basic Windows file to update the BIOS

  It is very easy Flash the BIOS of your PC without concern for what operating system you are running.

  Download a USB flash drive.  Format it in FAT32 file system.

  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!

• Question of updating the BIOS of the Tecra M10

  Hello

  I own a Tecra M10-10 q (abbreviated model: PTMB1E)
  I received a few days ago an automatic alert of Toshiba TEMPRO to inform a new BIOS driver.

  After downloading and extracting the .zip file, I launched the executable: P0065v190.exe
  Asked me to confirm that I want to date of current version BIOS BIOS package version 1.90 1.50

  When I click on 'Yes', I got a popup window titled: "TOSHIBA BIOS Package version 3.2.9!
  with between other precautions, the following statement:
  "Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista before updating the BIOS"

  A google search on what is "BitLocker Drive Encryption" and how to disable it, informs that it is under the heading 'Security' in the control panel.
  However, I can't find anything like "BitLocker", when I click on 'Security' in the Panel!

  So, I cancelled the update procedure. But I like to keep my system uptodate!
  What should I do? Where to find the BitLocker? How to make a such BIOS update?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Windows Bit locker drive BitLocker is a data protection feature that is available ONLY in Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.

  If you don t have one of these versions of Vista, then a Bilocker is NOT available on your preinstalled system!

  With regard to the update of the BIOS;
  I'm always that notice; never change a running system; so, if the laptop works properly and without problem a BIOS update is not necessary that s my personal opinion

  See you soon

• E531 update the Bios with WIndows 10 installed?

  Is it possible to update the BIOS with 10 Windows installed on E531?

  I don't see W7, W8, and XP

  Yet once, have solved this problem, I thought I would share with others who may have the same or similar issues.

  I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install. Installation BIOS itself is a little funky; I saw the screen go completely white for a while without message about progress or anything like that. But ultimately it ends and works well.

• Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64-Bit Windows 7 updated - update the BIOS?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G50 that I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. My BIOS is unupdated for 6 months when I bought the machine.

  I went to update the BIOS, just to keep things updated, so I went through the pilot Online Assistant:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  And all information entered above, it provides:

  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090312131718.zip

  After having unpacked and P0060v210.exe running, he extracted, and then said:

  "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. "(Word to all my friends of Googling!).

  Toshiba has an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio G50 is supported on Windows 7? Specifically for the 64-bit? They need to fix this glitch which orders to download this file when it is not clearly supported by Windows 7.

  Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine - but I was nervous about going through the update if it didn't initially support Windows 7, so I do not continue to the next prompt. Is it safe to do? Has anyone else in this situation he does without problems? I read the BIOS updates can go horribly wrong, if not careful, so I hesitate to update the BIOS by performing the update in compatibility mode when it doesn't support Windows 7 on its own!

  Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.

  Hello

  I agree with bljuzga_1.
  Because the BIOS is independent, it shouldn't be a problem with the update using Win 7 OS.
  The error must be linked to your installed Win 7 OS and not the BIOS bug.

  It would also be possible that your value added package for Win 7 is not installed correctly.
  This package contains the TOSHIBA components common driver which is an essential component of the Windows operating system. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

• Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

  Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba OS independent 2, 00 - WIN World Wide

  In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
  My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

  My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

  Hello

  > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
  You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
  So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

  If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running

  Hello

  It seems that Toshiba has released a special version of the BIOS for Windows Vista.
  If you want you can check it on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  But if your Vista runs correctly on the computer laptop with the previous version of BIOS you n don't need to update the BIOS.

• How can I update the BIOS without windows on V3 - 372

  I bought an ACER V3-372-57CW and refuses the computer at startup (the Green ACER splash screen at boot EFI appear same) when my Tablet WACOM Intuos 4 (if not fully functional) is inserted any USB port. Customer service Acer not recognize wanted to nor register the question so my last hope is that a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  I'm used to the manufacturers supplying utilities executable flash BACK running under FreeDOS etc but for the Acer V3 - 372, I can only find an executable for Windows 10. Of course, uninstalling the entire system just for the update of the BIOS is not a viable option.

  Is it possible to get either one executable for the update of the BIOS BACK or something that could be used from within Linux (with EFI)?

  Thank you

  Masquilier,

  At the present time, I have installed on my Windows computer.  If someone were to tell me that I needed to install another operating system to update the BIOS, I don't think it was a big deal.  I would like to...

  1. create a system with the Windows image backup

  2 clean the clean disk with 'diskpart '.

  3. install any OS they told me that I had to install.

  4. update of the BIOS

  5. after updating the BIOS, I would just wipe the drive with diskpart and restore my Windows system image.

  6. it would take me less than 45 minutes to accomplish steps 1 through 5.  Probably about 30 minutes to be honest.

  Use my logic.  Except that I'm not a Linux expert and don't know how to do what I tell you with Linux.  Just google it.  I see that some people use clonezilla, but I don't know there is a command to do the same.

  Check with the Ubuntu forum and tell them what you need to do and I'm sure it's possible.

  Important note: own Diskpart is priceless, if you n-front-rear of switching between the old modes and UEFI... or deleting partitions... or clean installation of an OS.  However, make sure that you don't accidentally wipe the bad drive (drive).  Be careful.  There is step-overs.

• I have improved my AZC-606 to 10 Windows without updating the BIOS of last year

  This is a step that I completely missed, as far as I know at the time, that acer had no information about the update and it's the first time I installed a Windows operating system - zero that I leaned on for the characteristics of the facility he said nothing about the BIOS (and there was nobody at Acer). Windows 10 has worked without problem on the machine. The only problem I had on a regular basis (and not always, but most of the time) is when the computer restarts it stalls on the Acer screen. I usually don't bother using the option restart. All that said, my experience of Windows 10 has been pretty good, and the machine running on most of the time was reliable, but I'm at a point where I want to go back and do a clean Windows installation.

  Now, I used the media creation tool to make an ISO. But the last time I used the MCT to paste directly to a flash drive, then maybe I'll do that once again. On the BIOS, I am a total n00b, so I don't know anything about. I assume it's something that I can still do / have done for me before installing Windows if I didn't not messed up already enough things. I'm kind of fishing for the answers that I have not yet to have questions for.

  What are my options, and what is the best option for me at this point? As I said, the Windows front-end runs under the best conditions in the State, and this backend that can go on is just invisible to me. Restart the computer just seems out of whack.

  Sorry to be verbose and vague.

  Since you always have a working windows installation, you can update now, and then perform the clean installation.

  Updating the BIOS is very simple and simply follow the instructions in the Readme inside the zip package.

  But firstly check you current BIOS version:

  key of the Windows logo + x

  Run

  type

  Msinfo32

  Check the BIOS DATE/version

  the latest version of the BIOS is P11. A4
