Portege 7020 bios upgrade problem.

I have a Portege 7020 CT with docking station. For a year and a half I can't update my bios. The problem is that when starting the floppy (as in instructions) drive my docking station is almost all (floppy drive) is turned off. Or I couldn't upgrade through Windows Millennium Edition.
Someone at - it had similar problems? And you have any ideas to solve the problem?

Hello

as far as I know, you need to remove your Portege. Plug the AC and connect the floppy drive. Laptop must be in boot mode and not recovery mode, and remove any PC cards.

Then insert the prepared BIOS disc (create it as described in the manual) and boot from the floppy.

Then it should work!

Try and keep me posted.

PS: your BIOS is available at http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads - download BIOS

Your BIOS is available in version 8.10

  • Satellite U400 - 112 (PSU40E) - Safe BIOS upgrade - SOLUTION

    Dear all,

    Trying since long upgrade for the bios of my laptop favorite... Toshiba Satellite U400-112 (PSU40E)
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) English and BIOS version 4.00(until yesterday).
    The problem was that, in windows 7 (32 & 64 bit), the tool flash never started the process of update due to several incompatibilities.
    There is a solution (in fact a workaround solution) to be honest and works 100%!

    My solution is:

    (A) download the latest bios upgrade version appropriate for your laptop, save it (tomake it is easier in the root of the C:\ drive) and unpack it in a temporary folder (for example: bios).

    (B) use the Hiren's Boot CD a real support from a USB or CD (download and burn a CD or follow the process of CD copy on a USB key).

    (C) boot the laptop from the CD or USB flash and in Hiren's Boot Menu, select the version of mini Windows XP.

    (D) allow completely Windows XP startup and then run the tool to update the bios flash from the temporary folder. The update procedure make it exactly as it is described in the manual of the bios update. (If you are not experienced)

    (E) it will update the bios, and then he stops himself. Then you can start normally your operating system, remove any CD or USB key mounted on it.

    I hope you find it helpful and convenient.

    Best regards

    Ioannis

    To be honest I updated the BIOS on my U400 (running Win 7 32 bit), A210 (Vista) and Tecra A10 (Win 7 64 bit) using the victory as the BIOS version and never had any problems in running the tool
    Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community

  • Self Extracting BIOS upgrade fails

    I have a Pavilion 15-n096ea with the original BIOS.  I think that sp64555 is the upgrade of the BIOS for this.

    The downloaded file works on Windows and can either upgrade the BIOS, create a bootable USB drive that upgrades the BIOS or just put the BIOS firmware on disk for future use.

    I went for the second option because I can't use the first because I am not running Windows on my laptop.

    My problem is that if I create the USB bootable on another laptop (not HP) which is running Windows 8.1, sp64555 seems well and told me that the USB was created and to insert it in the correct computer and restart.

    However, when inserting it into my house, I tells me that the USB drive is not bootable.  I tried this with 3 different stick, which one had a top first bootable filesystem I tested to work.  That, to me, shows that the Pavilion and the USB key work properly, but the image created by the download may not correctly create the USB.  I tried to create the USB for Windows XP also, but the software has not found the USB key.

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Just for the closure.  I ended up saving all of my work on an extrnal-hard disk before you reinstall Windows 8 on the laptop in order to apply the upgrade of the BIOS.  Which had been applied once, I reinstalled Linux on the laptop and restored the files.

    Work a day of total to see that upgrading the BIOS does not resolve the problem, I had in the first place!

    As the upgrade procedure. I noticed that with Windows installed, gave me the option of updating the BIOS from the menu of boot UEFI (ESC key at startup).  I think there's some added additional UEFI software when it is reinstalled Windows on the laptop which is used to upgrade the BIOS.  There is also choice was diagnosed with additional system in the menu too.  When I installed Linux, I chose to delete the Windows UEFI system partition and in the process lost the BIOS upgrader and diagnostic tools.

  • Oops! Aspire Z1620 - UR31P BIOS upgrade - Windows 10

    It's 'oops' as in, oops, when I upgraded my Aspire Z1620-UR31P (Windows 7) and Aspire E1-732-4651 (8.1 Windows) Windows 10 I have not noticed the asterisk Acer community important: "Please make sure that upgrade the BIOS before upgrading to Windows 10." Because of installation - especially with the unit Windows 7 problems - I was forced in one installs own for both machines. So, as discussed on this forum, when you perform a clean installation of Windows 10 a key product already is located in the BIOS and is read from the BIOS by installing Windows 10 and authenticated to the first connection by the web. Considering a digital facility right I guess it's too late to follow the BIOS upgrade alert, because I'll lose 10 Windows activation. Am I wrong?
    At the moment the two machines operate smoothly with Windows 10, but unlike the E1 the Z1620 fails repeatedly to accept the first update Windows 10 major: "Upgrading to Windows 10 Home, Version 1511, 10586." Two-thirds in the update comes a blue screen hang up, requiring a hard stop, failure to automatically restore the update, and finally an automatic restoration of the earlier Windows 10 build after the message: "error updating Windows 10 0xC1900101 - 0 x 40017. Installation failed in phase SECOND_BOOT with an error during the START operation. »

    You should be able to upgrade the BIOS, even if this first version of Windows 10 is already installed. The Windows key will remain during the upgrade of the BIOS.

    How much space you have on the C drive? It is possible that the upgrade of 1511 fails with an out of space error... They are quite cryptic with error codes.

  • Dell XPS 13 stop during sleep after bios upgrade

    Recently updated my BIOS Dell XPS 13 L321X-the worm 8. Since then, whenever I close the lid and put the laptop to sleep for several hours, the processor seems to come and the backstory is very hot. When the cover is opened, the screen remains blank and no wake mode 'sleep'. The only recourse is to make a hard stop with the power button and then restart. The laptop restarts then black screen troubleshooting, or select the normal startup of windows. Since then, I tried to update all the drivers, but still no luck. He continues to run hot and won't start after placing the phone in sleep mode.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Divider ~.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    To review, my problem started when I updated the BIOS to ver. A08. Before reading your solution, I ended up flashing my BIOS downgrade - worm. A07.

    I started a series of applications and then closed the lid, let go in mode "Eve". After a long period of time, I opened the lid and the wake of the computer normally with no issue. No screen cases, no empty overheated. And not need a hard stop and restart with the power button.

    Hope that this remains the case, I will record your steps suggested in case reports of problem, but so far, it seems that BIOS upgrade vA08 was the problem and a reflash with v A07 was the solution.

    You could install a tool of diagnosis of equipment as Everest home edition and could check your hardware specifications.

  • Re: Need Satellite 1800-804 - BIOS upgrade

    Hello!

    I would like to know where I could find the BIOS upgrade?
    I updated Win Win XP.

    Hi Aki

    You can upgrade Windows ME to Windows XP without updating the BIOS!

    The update of the BIOS would not affect the installation of Windows XP.

    Perhaps an important fact is not known to you;
    The update of the BIOS is always risky and should ONLY be done to fix some bugs.

    In your case, it seems that you want to change only the operating system and therefore the update of the BIOS is not really necessary on your Sam 1800.

    Anyway, if you looking for XP drivers then you might find it on the page of the European driver Toshiba-> * area of ARCHIVE

    Jack

    Hello

    No, I don't think that it is more risky to have the upgrade of the Bios from windows then the traditional way.
    I found this info in the Toshiba document that describes the procedures to update the BIOS:

    For the current offers in the range of Toshiba laptops two different BIOS update procedures.

    1 Windows base update: BIOS is updated to Windows.
    2. traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy disk or a CD-ROM when starting.

    We recommend that you update the BIOS from Windows.
