Installation of BIOS options

Greetings,

There is a BIOS Update Extensible Firmware Interface UEFI (Unified) for my laptop. When I go to install sp52509.exe, I get a box dialog "Select installation location", which requires "HP UEFI BIOS update can be installed on the UEFI system disk Partition on a USB key or hard. Please select the location you want to use below:

  • On (recommended) hard UEFI system partition
  • USB Flash drive

What is the "UEFI System Partition' on my hard drive?

Thank you

Shane.

It will create a small partition of 100 MB, which is not visible in your operating system. How ever when you want to re install the operating system through the provided HP recovery disks, it will be remove and re create the partition. So no worries. It's good for your computer that helps you find accurately the exact material issues on your laptop, if it is there.

  • HP ENVY AE101NX: How to default BIOS Options of OS to SSD Boot Manager

    Hi all

    I added new SSD in my laptop and also migrated OS from the HARD drive to the SSD.

    I have checked and tested F9 I'm able to start properly in this new SSD with incredible speed and no problem.

    Now, I wanted to put this SSD as a default value in the boot options where currently it is showing the HDD and SSd. But this submenu of the OS boot manager does not allow me to change the sequence.

    It shows both and by default it is starting HARD operating system disk, unless I manually interrupt using the Esc and F9.

    From now the HDD and SSD are available in my laptop with OS.

    Could someone please suggest How can I do this SSD as boot by default?

    Thank you

    Thank you all for your comments.

    I have fixed this issue of cleanup/formatting my drive HARD SSD is ready with full operating system installation.

    Here are the steps that I followed before posting this question here and after this announcement.

    (1) the SSD inserted in one of the port SATA m2 available in my laptop.

    (2) using the EaseUS backup and recovery tool, I've migrated my windows 10 BONES of the HDD to the SSD.

    (3) using the BIOS options (Esc + F9) I did so that I am able to start my SSD system without HARD drive. This is where I posted here, the question on how to remove the HARD drive in the list and the default at startup SSD.

    (4) removed the laptop HARD drive and ensured that I am able to start properly the SSD HARD drive function.

    (5) fixing the HARD drive using an adapter (USB 3.0) external HARD disk for laptop and same formatted. Also deleted all partitions.

    (6) then inserted the HDD clean even in my laptop with existing SSD.

    (7) now I'm able to boot directly into the SSD as there is no bootable/EFI OS available on the HARD disk.

    Now, it's showing only 1 option even if I go to BIOS Esc + F9.

    My problem is solved.

    Thank you

  • Acer Aspire Desktop PC TC no BIOS option inherited

    6 month old desktop PC sucks TC.  Mother hates... installed Win8.1 Win10.  She hates that.  She is 76 years old and do not like change. Wants to install Win7 and willing to pay $ 120 for it.

    The problem is that the PC does NOT start on a CD.  After reading these and other forums I tried to change the legacy BIOS. Problem... is there NO option in the BIOS to switch to a legacy BIOS!

    Now that?

    Faxcapper

    OK... fine.  Inside the Intel driver installation application there is a Win7 folder... I had to use the Setup.exe in there.

    I could not run the installer of the application main itself.  Every time error code.

    Thus, all the drivers are now but I had to go to the Intel driver pages and download the driver scanner/update

    App.  He finds the video drivers and install them.

    Thanks much for helping him raise the former and running BIOS!

  • All BIOS options are disabled / grayed out

    I have 8770w with HP ProtectTools active EliteBook and just to have on the security of the TPM secure. I rebooted and tried to access the BIOS, my password is accepted, but virtually all of the options are disabled. Any idea what's going on here?
    Is it the TPM chip?

    In fact, the solution was to open a session in the BIOS as a guest and then configure a BIOS Admin password. Thank you post that.

    It is odd that the default user does not receive the Admin of the BIOS rights.

  • HP ENVY 2 X: key Fn editing operation. No BIOS option.

    OK, so I searched the forum and found many people ask how to change the operation of the Fn key while it is not necessary to press Fn to use the Fn keys.

    For example, I use software that I need to use several different of the Fn keys. Instead of simply by pressing SHIFT + F4 as I used to, I must now press SHIFT + Fn + F4. This severely hampers my ability to do my job with speed.

    The problem is that there is no option in BIOS to change this, as others have suggested. Someone please tell me there is a way to disable this incredibly stupid. I would be fine with having to press Fn to use the features of the shortcut key (research, volume, etc.) in order to exchange the functionality will be very well. Botton line, I want that my keyboard to refresh when I press F5 in itself, not cut my volume.

    Still, I can't change it in the BIOS. There must be another way.

    I understand the problem. No doubt it would work even for people who are currently underway in the BIOS to disable the action keys. This is not necessary and fortunately, this solution works for people who are unable to disable the action keys, for some stupid reason.

    The problem is a hardware problem, specifically a problem of keyboard to 100%.

    Many keyboards have two symbols on the Fkeys. You will see the F1 and some symbol is used to represent the action it will do. Most of the keyboards will do one action on the other, with the other action requiring the support of Fn. sometimes the fn key will be colored and the secondary action the ordered is similarly to be colored (the F or the symbol).

    If that's the thing. If you want to use the Fkeys regularly, choose a keyboard that has NO symbols of the action on them OR one that has coloured symbols of the action. If there is no staining, no matter what the symbol is the first is the main function. If the Fkey (F1... F12) is the first, it is the main function. If it is a symbol, first of all, it is the main function.

    So if people need to use the Fkeys, get a keyboard that has the first Fkeys or simply without the symbols of the action.

  • Satellite U840W - no RAID on BIOS option after PC repair

    Hello

    I bought a U840W of August from a British seller on eBay (although I live in France). After a few months of work perfectly, he had some water damage, and I sent it to Toshiba for repair. Apparently because my warranty was valid in the United Kingdom, they gave to CONTROLS for repair (a company that sells PC Toshiba parts). They changed the motherboard (I think twice, because I had to send it because the fan was not working and they said they changed the motherboard again).

    So after getting it back finally with the fan, I notice that the startup is very slow (30 sec instead of 10), and also, it was a bit slower. So I update all my drivers and notice that the caching SSDS does not work (using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology), initially, he showed the SSD as unknown but then after completely with diskpart, it showed as available (for storage, but not for caching) ", this means no acceleration tab).

    So after reading a lot, I enter the BIOS and see that I have had no RAID option for the SATA controller, only AHCI and compatibility (IDE).

    Don't you think that they put the wrong mother with RAID disabled?
    My BIOS version is also 6.90 and I find only 6,80 BIOS for my computer, don't you think they have access to the latest version of the BIOS, or simply that they have put another motherboard?

    Is it possible to downgrade the BIOS to 6.80 (I don't know if it will help to solve it but maybe)?

    I didn't contact Toshiba on the phone because it's quite expensive, I preferred to ask your opinions before here.

    Thanks in advance

    > Do you think they put the wrong mother with RAID disabled?
    No, I don't think so.

    As far as I know after a replacement of SSD or HARD disk on the Mobile Satellite U840W the RAID mode is configured and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) is not available.

    To rebuild mode factory RAID, RAID mode should be rebuild and TSRI must be activated using special tools.
    But as far as I know that this can be done by the maintainer agreed Toshiba.

    You should get in touch with the guys once more and must explain the cell phone number.
    I guess they should know how to solve this problem.

  • Satellite A665-147 - how to unlock the BIOS option?

    Hello

    I have an A665-147, and I want to change the cpu voltage and other things to improve my battery life.
    But in the BIOS, you can do nothing. I remember my old PC that you could unlock the Advanced mode by pressing alt + F1.

    Could someone help me?
    I'm sorry for my English french

    Sorry but there is no help. These options of don t exist in the BIOS.
    If you want to improve the battery life you must reduce energy consumption.
    To that effect, Toshiba has designed eco-utility.

    Using this utility, you can use laptop with little longer than usual battery power supply.

  • Satellite L350-12N - Intel virtualization technology - grey Bios option

    Hello
    I have the latest version of the BIOS (so-called 1.50), but can't change the option to "Enabled" in the BIOS?

    Is there a way?

    Thank you

    On another note, the max memory that this machine should take is 2 GB but has 3! Doesn't work well with 4.

    I agree with Ben.
    If the virtualization option cannot be changed there is nothing you can do about it.

  • Satellite L100 - how do I change the SATA mode in the BIOS options

    Hello world...

    Why is it in the laptop Sat L100 that there is no option in the BIOS-> advanced where in I can change the drive to SATA?
    I saw it in another PC Toshiba laptop

    Hello

    If this option is NOT available in the BIOS, then you will not be able to change that!
    In this case the controller HARD drive will tell in SATA mode and if you want to install an operating system then you need to install the SATA drivers first!

    Good bye

  • X 250, No AHCI in BIOS option

    Hello

    I just got my new X 250 yesterday, installed an SSD Samsung 850 and a clean install of Windows 7 PRO.

    I can't find out how to activate the AHCI in the BIOS to make the most expensive the SSD.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Jason

    AHCI is enabled by default. There is no option for compatibility since the ThinkPads 2013 mode, because Windows XP is not supported on all ThinkPads since then and if the Mode AHCI/compatibility switch is useless...

  • setting up a dual boot and storage of BIOS options

    I have a HP with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit xw4600 workstation. He resides in the SATA location 0.
    I have a separate hard drive Linux Mint 17.1 installed. He resides in slot SATA 3.
    I want to set up a dual-boot option to start Windows or Linux.
    In the BIOS under storage... Storage options must be set to RAID or AHCI? (I don't want a backup RAID configuration. I have cloned my hard drive to another hard drive in the SATA 2 connector, the DVD burner is in the SATA 1 connector).

    It seems that the computer will boot only from the hard drive to the SATA location 0.
    If I disconnect the hard drive to the SATAS location 0 which has Windows 7, I get an error in the message of wiring.
    If I use the boot F9 option, my choice is the hard drive, but I can't specify which.
    I can't find anywhere to change the HDD boot order in the BIOS.
    Any help will be apprecaited because I want to avoid opening the case and cables around switching.

    The HP xw workstations want to start only on the capture of port 0 on the motherboard SATA (often a blue color, while the others are brown dark/black).  Here is a post on how we worked around the need to have more of a boot drive, down to the low point, the photo shows the receiver in place with a carrier on the inside, and 3 many carriers are here to see you, too.

    This way you can have a single SATA cable go from that device to the SATA port 0 and boot from any operating system you like.  We now use only SSD for our startup discs, and the device fits perfectly into the floppy to the front of the box Bay area.  Do not stop going from one to the other SSDS.  I timed the move... 66 seconds to choose stop to W8.1 to get the Welcome screen W7 and vice versa on workstation xw4600 both xw6400/6600 (with BIOS optimized for faster startup).

    Apparently, there's some expensive SATA switches that allow to move from one entry to another entry and have only 1 output to the SATA port 0, but this approach has been working great for about 2 years now for us.  New versions of this device accept SATA cable lock, but my cables without locking of Foxconn HP were now firmly as well.

    There are similar devices for disks 3.5 "that HP had sold in the past.  Another advantage is that you can have two boot disks, both running on W7Pro, for example, and use the same certificate of authenticity.  One for the House stuff; one for the stuff of the company, for you home office people who want to keep things separate.

  • Advanced BIOS options

    I have a z510 Ideapad.

    Anyone know how I can update the BIOS for I might be able to access options such as the configuration of memory, allowing the turbo boost, serger, advanced, change the boot order (disk, CDROM, USB, etc.)

    Currently, the BIOS is very simple and does not give me advanced options and information.

    Hello.

    In the InsydeH20 BIOS for the IdeaPads there is no such thing as advanced options to configure the RAM and/or overclocking or anything of that kind. What you see in your BIOS, it's what you get, unless you venture into some BIOS modding complicated which involves showing / locked adding features, but I've never heard of someone overclocking their laptop in this way successfully.

    This is a little more advanced in the bigger brother ThinkPad series, but which mainly involves additional security features. It is not customizable laptops, desktops computers.

    Changing the boot order is relatively simple in the Boot section well.

    See you soon.
