• Portege Z830 - update BIOS

  Hello

  I want to update my BIOS from version 1.4 to 1.6 (latest)

  When I try to do it (directly with the updated BIOS or via the TOSHIBA Service Station) I got the following error message:
  Error: Preparation of updated failed
  You have not given permission to run the update.

  I am connected with an administrator account and I already try to run it with "run as Administrator"

  I'm not on the toshiba Windows installation because I have my own license of Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).

  Can you help me?

  Thank you very much

  PS: Sorry for my English, it is not my native language

  Question may be stupid, but why do you want to update the BIOS?
  Have you noticed a few problems with your machine?

• Portege R830 - updates BIOS and USB 3

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Portege R830, business management Windows 7 (SP1) 32-bit (for work).
  I also start Linux Mint 14 64-bit, that I installed it on a portable USB HDD (non-professional).

  I recently bought a 3 USB HARD drive, but when I connect it to the USB 3 port on my R830, it gives me only USB 2 speeds (25 MB/s).

  I checked with some diagnostic utilities (usbdeview, etc.), who say that the drive is connected in USB 2.1 mode.

  The drive reports itself as being 3 USB, cable is USB 3 (SuperSpeed) and the port that I use on the R830 is 3.

  I feel the same way, if I boot on windows or linux.

  I've updated all the drivers on the two operating systems, does not.

  then I tried to update the BIOS, but I get the following error:
  "An error occurred during the preparation of the updated environment.
  You have not given the permission to execute the update".

  For the record, it's the BIOS I'm leaving, & to.
  BIOS version: Current Ver.2.80--> updated Ver.4.10
  THIS Version: Current Ver.1.10--> update Ver.1.60

  Does anyone know why I wouldn't get USB 3 speed (which, for my drive, are expected to be around 40-50 MB/s), or why all the diagnostics say USB 2?

  Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of updating the BIOS?
  (I tried in safe mode, disable AV, disabling NX)

  See you soon

  This USB driver is installed?

  Please try to install it and check again speed USB.

• Portege M300 - update Bios without battery

  Hello

  Currently, I am trying to fix a problem that I have with my laptop (Portege M300) of the battery.
  I have been informed that the bios update should solve this problem, but when I try to update I get error "the AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not sufficient.

  Now, the power adapter is connected and works well, but the battery is on 4% of costs...

  Hello

  I m not very good if the update of the BIOS might help you what it s a battery problem
  Have you noticed this problem on the first day of purchase?
  I mean if this issue was not present the same using BIOS in the past, then it wouldn't be a matter of BIOS but material, possibly a battery

  I think that the battery needs to be checked.

• Portege R100 - supported Bios for ATA6

  Hi new to the forum,
  .
  After more than a year of use 24-7 my portable drive is eventually died: (.)
  .
  I had to ask for a replacement and have done much research, but have a few questions.
  .
  Toshiba hard drive array has all the current models of 1.8 ".
  Model numbers can be decomposed into capacity, use... low voltage etc., number of trays.
  It is clear that they all (physically compatible) ZIF Sockets and similar form factors.
  .
  Q > 106 BIOS update shows no support for ATA6. Can I use an ATA6 drive in the BIOS with a value of ATA5 with a slight degradation in performance?
  .
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Hard disks that are cared for and compatible on your unit supports one IDE ATA-5 interface.
  AFAIK the ATA interface is compatible to the bottom. This means that ATA6 supports the ATA5 but you must use it with ATA5 performance.
  The BIOS update does not change the performance.

• Portege M400 - update Bios 3.8 installation (Vista)

  Hello.

  I just installed a new hard drive and VISTA (lack the Toshiba HDD Recovery section - still don't know don't know how to do)

  In any case, I managed to successfully install VISTA. (Trick was to install Raid divers in the installation process)

  UPDATE THE BIOS
  Current BIOS 1.6

  I want to update my BIOS to version 3.80 (Latest)
  I downloaded the BIOS 3.80 files BUT it does not load.

  1. I don't have a floppy drive :(

  (2 I tried burinng a CD ISO) Bot I couldn't get it from the CD (I have a Toshiba CD Extenal Drive and do not know if it can boot from CD)

  3. I tried to run the launcher and install via Windows BUT received an error message 'NOT' supported on THIS COMPUTER

  I think that the pitcher can only run in XP not vista.

  Are there steps miss me... What I have to do an incremental update of BIOS and how can I install it without floppy or CD-Rom Bootable drive?

  > 1. I don't have a floppy drive
  You n t need a floppy drive because the BIOS Toshiba focuses on the victory of BIOS and not traditional BIOS and this means that you must run the update of the BIOS while the OS is running.

  > . I tried to burn a CD from the ISO), but I couldn't get it from the CD (I only have a CD external Toshiba drive and do not know if it can boot from the CD)
  As mentioned above this BIOS update may be run during execution OS! It s BIOS based on the victory!

  > 3. I tried to run the launcher and install via Windows BUT received an error message 'NOT' supported on THIS COMPUTER
  You have selected an update of the BIOS that supports this laptop or you need to run this update by using the Windows OS pre-installed Toshiba.

  > What I have to do an incremental update of BIOS and how to install without floppy or CD-Rom Bootable drive?
  Not possible-> see point 1 and 2

• Portege M800 - update BIOS stucks - Windows 7 32 bit

  Hello world!

  I have a problem.
  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of Toshiba Hompage.

  The update started successfully, but the point of "BIOS News Flash ' to 'treatment block 26 of the 33"the stucks updated!
  I'm waiting for almost 2 hours, but nothing happens.
  My screen freezes, I can't move the cursor, the clock shows the time even... then nothing happens...

  Is this normal?
  I don't think, but it's my first update of the BIOS, so I'm not really familiar with it...

  Anyone have an idea?

  It would be great help!
  Thank you!

  Hello

  It's different not a common BIOS update process
  The update of the BIOS should not take much time.

  In your case it is possible that something was wrong during the flashing process and module ROM was not properly flashed.
  I think that you are in difficulty and in my opinion, only the ASP technician would be able to help you.

  The BIOS ROM must be flashed again using a crisis procedure and this can be done by a technician of the ASP.

  Hello

  Please don t compare models of European specifications and Americans and don t make updated mix. If you have European cell phone please use only the stuff available on the download page of Toshiba Europe.

  If you don t have problems with your device and system runs stable operations, don t do anything. That's just my opinion.

  Good day!

  Hello

  You can download another version of the same-update bios here:

  This file contains more information on the execution of the update, see the readme file
  You can do an update directly in XP or make a bootable floppy or bootable CD

  If the "live update" in XP does not work, you will need at least a key-USB-fdd, most of them is easily recognized by the bios (hold F12 during startup and choose the fdd)

• Portege 3410 - how to update BIOS and install XP?

  Hello, I have two questions on Portege 3410.

  First: I can't update the BIOS (current usage, 1.50 there, I want to update to 1.60). Instruction does not work: I connect Teac USB into USB port, turn on the USB - FDD emulation to activate, portable switch with pressed F12, the message «Ready to update BIOS...» "appears, I touch in a hurry, but nothing happened. What's wrong?

  The other: I can't install Windows XP on laptop (it does not start from USB disk or external USB DVD drive).
  How can I install Windows?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Just a question: why do you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?
  I ask this question because this update is always somewhat risky and you might damage it ROM module
  In any case, have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS before you start the update and install XP?

  You can install XP without CD. Therefore, you must copy the folder i386 on the HARD drive from another computer and the boot to the HARD drive files, I think you need a little search with Google to find a workaround for this. You should find enough! ;)

• Portege R100 and Linux - function keys not working do not and the latest version of the BIOS?

  Hello world

  I have a Portege R100 (PPR10L-13G10P). I am trying to install Linux and when you try to access function keys (F6) the computer does not allow me to... no idea why?

  Also, what is the latest version of BIOS for this computer? And where it can be downloaded?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  At first, I must say that Toshiba doesn't support Linux in general if you are alone with this problem.
  I hope that someone will be able to help you a bit.
  If you want to discover the latest version of the BIOS, just enter the BIOS settings and check it out.
  BIOS version latest won't help you at all, so my opinion is that you shouldn't change anything.

  Anyway, the bio download page is - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

  The feature keys F is supported by special tool Windows and it only works on Windows.
