• 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.

  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 think that the battery needs to be checked.

• Satellite Z830 - update BIOS soon?

  Hello

  I have a toshiba z830.

  as can be read here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40722

  "The GTF0/1 is not defined anywhere, but referenced in the _SDD control method. This method of control gets when operating, it will access the GTF0/1 and that caused a run time of the namespace search error, and who had also failed the delivery of the control method. But I think that this will not affect your SATA device, it should work fine, no? What BIOS people tried to do here is NCQ function without automatic detection for the reader. »

  There seem to have a problem.

  any fix soon

  Thank you

  Sorry mate maybe you understand something wrong, it is user community.

  In regard to link bug and possible:
  You posted a link to a page of the Linux OS / kernel bug tracker

  As much as I know Linux is not supported by Toshiba.

• 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

  On the site of toshiba in Nordic countries, they 1.50 version available for download, while the website the US version I can download the new version 1.60. My M400 is a Danish version I am a little unsure as to whether it's ok to update my BIOS to v1.60 now that Northern toshiba Web site isn't this available BIOS version.

  The thoughts and views on the way forward and the installation of version 1.60 on my M400 DK version is very welcomed.

  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!

• 1.60 BIOS does not recognize the USB bootable in Portege Z830

  Hello
  I have a Portege Z830 with BIOS version 1.60. It runs an operating system, ubuntu, (without a windows OS, it is not possible to upgrade the BIOS). I have a USB bootable (debian, created by copying a .iso image using dd) which works on other computers, but not on this one. With the USB at the top of the boot priority, it is not recognized as a device start-up and the computer boots from the HARD drive. The boot is in legacy mode, no UEFI (there is no switch in the menu of the UEFI/legacy BIOS).

  Pointers how to allow a booting from a USB key on this computer?

  Thank you and best regards,

  James

  As you probably know, Toshiba does not support Linux so you can't upgrade the BIOS under Linux OS.
  Also, it is not available to be installed from USB.

  It runs as an application and must be run under Windows running.

• How to control the fan on Portege Z830?

  I have a Portege Z830 with BIOS version 1.7 and I am very upset by the noise of the fan.
  I was wondering if it is possible to control the fan noise, so I started to experiment with a little utility called SpeedFan. I put in place so that the fan will not turn on until the temperature of the processor exceeds a defined number. But it does not; It seems that the BIOS is ignorant these parameters.

  So my question is how can I set the fan to work my way?

  There are not many options to control the fan.

  The fan is controlled by the BIOS. The fan table that is stored in the BIOS contains information how a cooling module must operate.

  As mentioned by Liam, you can change the settings of power plant of Win 7 more battery as a way to minimize the performance of fans
  This should help a little...

  In other http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65068 thread, I found a neat trick of the last user... He replaced Z830 fan with the fan of Z930 origin...
  It worked.

• Portege Z830 - Bios password change/remove

  When I started my new Portege Z830, it gave me the opportunity during the entire upward, to put a bios password.

  I did, but I am now regret, as I have to present two passwords, bios and windows, can start to do something. As I need the BIOS one, how in the system to edit or delete, now that I don't have access to all of the screens?

  Thank you

  You can delete it in the BIOS options directly or using Toshiba tool in Windows supervisor password utility.

  I recommend to proceed to a complete stop and restart after laptop enter the BIOS settings and delete here.

  c. do you recommend going back to 1.6?
