• Portege M200 BIOS update running Windows 7?

  Hello

  I recently took a Portege M200 and installed (via PXE - network installation) Windows 7 above. I want to upgrade the BIOS as is always in the original BIOS (1.1). I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS? I tried to put it on a USB key, but it doesn't seem to be an option to boot from USB.

  Thank you!

  Seems that BIOS cannot be updated because Win 7 is not officially supported on this good old classic.
  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) is required to run an update of the BIOS. So, try to install the VAP. Choose this tool which is available for other models of laptops.

• Portege R700 - BIOS-update 2.20 - WIN does not work

  I have a Portege R700-172-PT311E-03201KGR
  It's a WIN 7 64 bit Machine.

  Current BIOS 1.70
  EC-current Version: 1.40

  For this machine, an update of the BIOS and IT's there.
  So I downloaded the "BIOS220_EC160.exe" update and tried to treat.

  The first message during the update process is: "it is necessary to update the BIOS and THIS.
  When I continue with "Run the update", I get the error message:
  "Error: preparation of updated failed.
  Given the image file is not compatible with this cimputer.

  There is no change in the material of the machine. The only problem I see is that we use McAfee Endpoint Encryption (V6.0.2.6) that could have some influence on the update of the BIOS.

  But I'm not sure.
  Does anyone have an ideas?

  Hello

  BIOS update is important to you?
  Do you have problems with the laptop?

  I have portable three-year-old BIOS was did not updated

  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) must be to get the updated BIOS updated. Also the firewalls and other security and antivirus preinstalled on the system software must be disabled before attempting to update the BIOS.

• Portege R500 BIOS update 1.60 - WIN

  Hello

  I was watching the update of the BIOS available on download since 25-03-08 pages 1, 60 - WIN.

  Anyone know what is the update?
  The explanation on the download page says simply: + "This Bios update adds functionality to your system." +

  Thanks in advance.

  If this isn't much of a change, that you need not update BIOS. Continue to use your laptop with pre-installed version. ;)

• Re: Portege R500 - Bios Update Setup hangs

  I have problems with my R500, so I would update the BIOS of thought.

  I went to download bios - 200803250781.zip

  It contains the P0058v160.exe file

  From that process leads to:

  "install2 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Should these BIOS be installed gradually? My r500 is early and running v1.00.

  Sorry

  Hello

  If you want to update the BIOS, then you need to download the BIOS package and must first uncompress it.
  Then run the exe file in the folder.

  I don't know why the error message, but please make sure that the common Modules are installed on your system of m.

  If the error will still persists then this might be a problem with the installed Windows operating system, and not with the BIOS software.

  Portege R830/PT321E: update Bios end with ' year error occurred while preparing the environment of update...» »

  Following message appears first

  BIOS version: Worm. current 3.40-> update version 3.70

  BIOS and THIS should be updated

  During BIOS update seems following message:

  My settings:
  -BitLocker is turned off.
  -No connection to a docking station
  -Windows 7 is installed

  "Close all open programs, shut down windows and then turns off your computer."

  Any idea what is the problem?

  Hi ML

  Stupid question maybe now but why do you want to update the BIOS on this, I think, fairly new laptop model?
  Have you noticed a few issues or hardware issues?

• Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

  Hello

  I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

  I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

  The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
  This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

  Any help would be great,

  Thank you

  Hello

  Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
  As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
  So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

  Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

  Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
  It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
  I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

• Can Vista on Portege A100 - I update the BIOS?

  Had a go at this facility, and everything is well outside the installation of value-added package - the main thing I want to make it work is the function for the brightness of the screen keys and connect a TV.

  I understand that the upgrade of the BIOS can contribute to obtaining of the installed VAP (I'm getting an ID ERR NOTINSTALLTVALZ), I know that Toshiba will not directly support the A100 for Vista, but is there a BIOS I can install that works? I think there could be a similar machine that works in Vista or maybe just a BIOS A100 that will suffice?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  May I ask where did you get the Vista Package value added for Portege A100?
  I didn t find this value-added package on Toshiba Europe site.

  There are only 3 files for Vista. One of the files is BIOS v1.60 - WIN, which seems to be independent of the operating system.

  With regard to the BIOS;
  You should know that the update of the BIOS is always risky.
  If you use the wrong version of BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure can damage the motherboard!
  and as you probably know the motherboard is one of the expensive laptop parts!
  It s not worth it to try something that can damage the laptop. You know

  What the BIOS for Portege Z830 update (PT224 / PT225 / PT22L), version 1.80 do?

  The description says fair + "This BIOS update adds functionality to your system." +, and I couldn't find anything about this website more Toshiba on. The update has been published on 24-05 - 2013.

  + Version 1.80 - 2013-04-25 +.

• Portege Z835 - need help with BIOS update

  Hello.

  I have a Portege Z835, with a battery problem: do not load. The battery indicator says "3% connected load" but it doesn't load the battery.

  Some forums said that the solution is updating the Bios. I have a Bios Update v.1.60 ready to install. When I try to install, we get the message "the battery power is not enough.

  My power cord is still connected. If I unplug the power cord, the laptop is turned off.

  Please, what can I do?

  Thank you.

  F.

  To be honest I don't think it's the related issue of the BIOS. AFAIK battery must be charged, even if the laptop is turned OFF so why BIOS update if the battery can not be charged at all.

  To me that sounds like hardware related issue.

  How old is your Portege?
  Warranty is still valid?

  Maybe you should contact Toshiba service and ask for help or even their opinion.

• Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello
  I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
  And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
  Thank you for your help

  Hey Buddy,

  You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
  Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

  To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.
