• 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.

• 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 R700 - Sandforce SSD OCZ and Toshiba BIOS v1.9

  Hello

  It is a question to the Toshiba techy guys. Please can someone confirm compatibility with SSDS OCZ Vertex2 (Sandforce) with the Portege r700?

  Since I've updated the stock HARD drive I had problems with BIOS recognizing the SDS when you restart. If I boot the laptop from the cold, that is nice, DDI is recognized and everything is ok, the problem is intermittent. When requiring to restart the laptop to Windows 7 (64-bit), it hangs at the screen Toshiba Leading Innovation. It seems that the BIOS cannot detect the drive for some reason any and just freezes. I read the threads on the footprint software but am already run version v1.0.2.32 - so think it is independent.

  I've recently updated firmware OCZ Vertex2 to v1.32 hoping that it could solve the problem and there is not. The question might be more compatible with the Toshiba BIOS Sandforce.

  I am running the BIOS v1.9 - please can you guys do something to fix this?

  > That's obviously a problem with Sandforce
  Always is it that there are several different manufacturers of SSDS, and it might be possible that not all the parties meet the same standards.
  In this case, many manufacturers of SSDS provides updates of the firmware, but this isn't always the case so have to test other SSDS

  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 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 R700 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hello

  I'm trying to update the BIOS of my R700 computers with a command line on Windows 7 (x 86 edition french).
  I am using the version of the BIOS is P007Bv170_EC73V140.

  I downloaded the bios - 20101112151130.zip official website of Toshiba. In the zip file, there is no statement (no file Readme.txt or other help... files).

  Is there a way to upgrade in silent mode in the BIOS?
  Thank you for your help,

  Vincent

  Hey,.

  You need to run the exe file you will find in archive zip you downloaded. After this update the BIOS will start.

  But before this update, unzip all files and close all running programs. Also, make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

• 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...
  This is the exact reason, I'm updating the bios!

  Does anyone know how I'm supposed to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Chris H

  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.

• Update the BIOS on a Portege 3490

  Hello

  I recently bought two used portege 3490CT portable, both with BIOS version 1.60. I tried to upgrade to Version 1.90 with a USB-floppy drive, but it does not accept floppies. Theres no disk access when I press a key after the bios update message.

  Also booting from that floppy USB does not work. Is this a problem related to this specific USB floppy drive (it's a NEC)? Is there any other procedure updating the BIOS?

  Thank you!
  Thomas

  Hello Thomas

  I don't know, but I guess that your device has no legacy USB support and, as far as I know, you can do it by using original Toshiba FDD. Check your BIOS settings please.

  I'm sure that you will not be able to do the BIOS update using your floppy drive.

  Good bye

• Portege 3500: missing system32 - update the BIOS?

  Hello world

  I got a Portege 3500 PIII-M 1.33 GHz, which has been infected by a virus. I tried to reinstall Windows Xp, but the SYSTEM32 file is missing or damaged.

  I downloaded the BIOS driver and tried to install it via an external CD drive, but it did not work.
  Could you please help me at all?
  I am very concerned about the situation

  Can't wait to hear from you

  Thank you

  Davide

  Hello

  I can t believe that the virus may damage the BIOS!
  I think that you have updated the BIOS with the wrong procedure.
  Have you checked the BIOS update document?

  In any case, the fault of system32 has nothing to do with the BIOS and I don t understand why you started the update of the BIOS.

  The Portege 3500 does not support an internal hard drive, and so if you want to install the operating system, you must use a compatible external PC card reader.
  I assume you are using this player to start.

  If some error messages appear during the installation, you must first format the whole HARD drive and delete all partitions and then try again to boot from the recovery CD!

• Portege R700 and Win 7 Update detects not SP1

  Hello

  I have a Portege R700-1E8 with Win7 Pro.
  WinUpdate detects no SP1, but it has detected the other updates and installed their (the SO is enabled).

  If I install SP1 manually (downloaded as iso from Microsoft Download site file) it seems to be installed without problems.
  Yet, I picked up the phone to the original state and tried to detect the windows updates again.

  There are many upgrades available, but without SP1 AND IE9.

  Any ideea?
  Thank you

  Costin

  Hello

  > If I install SP1 manually (downloaded as iso from Microsoft Download site file) it seems to be installed without problems.

  So where is the problem if you were able to install SP1 manually?
  I had also some problems to install the patches in the past, that I could not install patches after system reboot and disable a 3rd party firewall, I could install necessary updates who received automatically by Windows 7.

  However, SP1 can be installed manually and it should be possible to install other patches automatically, so in this case, I wouldn't be worried

• Portege R600 - cannot update the BIOS using Win server 2008

  Hi all.

  Pls help...

  I tried to update my bios to the new version, but I can't.

  I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

  Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
  Unsupported product type is installed.
  Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80

  So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

  is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
  You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

  You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

  Good bye
