• How to upgrade the BIOS without a floppy drive?

  Hello

  I'm trying to update my BIOS using my CD player. I have an IBM Thinkpad 600E

  The latest version on the Lenovo site is an exe which requires a floppy disk. Given that I don't have a floppy drive, no idea how to get this created on a CD as a bootable image? Or is it a different download for the same thing?

  Thank you

  Alex

  I'm not sure it's possible, an easy solution would be to get your hands on a diskette. Here's a bargain on the market at TPF.

• How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

  Hello!

  I recently decided to update my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB. After installation, I started my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing some troubleshooting, I decided to try to update the BIOS, like the 2010 version. I have downloaded the update to the BIOS boot CD implementation of lenovo, burned a disk and restarts, I found that the boot order has no CD contained thereon. Here's the catch: I do not have the supervisor password. It is a mobile phone in hand, and I tried to find the password nothing is done. It's the current boot order: USB key, hard drive.

  My question is, can I create a BIOS update disk using a USB key, or update the BIOS of another way?

  I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having served (that I prefer to not do, even if I have to return my Crucial RAM)

  My system features:

  ThinkPad L512

  BIOS version: 1.04

  BIOS date: 2010-3-26

  Controller of Embeded Version: 1.01

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Thanks for your help.

  Welcome to the forum!

  Two things here:

  (a) If you run the system update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I never did on a protected device, so it may or may not work, but perhaps worth it.

  (b) I doubt the ability of the system to recognize the new RAM has something to do with the BIOS. Much older than your ThinkPads will take place 4-8 GB of RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine initially.

  Good luck.

• Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

  There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

  Hello

  Why you need to update the BIOS?
  I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

  Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

• How can I update the BIOS without windows on V3 - 372

  I bought an ACER V3-372-57CW and refuses the computer at startup (the Green ACER splash screen at boot EFI appear same) when my Tablet WACOM Intuos 4 (if not fully functional) is inserted any USB port. Customer service Acer not recognize wanted to nor register the question so my last hope is that a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  I'm used to the manufacturers supplying utilities executable flash BACK running under FreeDOS etc but for the Acer V3 - 372, I can only find an executable for Windows 10. Of course, uninstalling the entire system just for the update of the BIOS is not a viable option.

  Is it possible to get either one executable for the update of the BIOS BACK or something that could be used from within Linux (with EFI)?

  Thank you

  Masquilier,

  At the present time, I have installed on my Windows computer.  If someone were to tell me that I needed to install another operating system to update the BIOS, I don't think it was a big deal.  I would like to...

  1. create a system with the Windows image backup

  2 clean the clean disk with 'diskpart '.

  3. install any OS they told me that I had to install.

  4. update of the BIOS

  5. after updating the BIOS, I would just wipe the drive with diskpart and restore my Windows system image.

  6. it would take me less than 45 minutes to accomplish steps 1 through 5.  Probably about 30 minutes to be honest.

  Use my logic.  Except that I'm not a Linux expert and don't know how to do what I tell you with Linux.  Just google it.  I see that some people use clonezilla, but I don't know there is a command to do the same.

  Check with the Ubuntu forum and tell them what you need to do and I'm sure it's possible.

  Important note: own Diskpart is priceless, if you n-front-rear of switching between the old modes and UEFI... or deleting partitions... or clean installation of an OS.  However, make sure that you don't accidentally wipe the bad drive (drive).  Be careful.  There is step-overs.

• Satellite A500-17 x - recovery of Bios without a floppy drive

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-TX.

  My BIOS has been updated via the windows application, but the laptop has hung up and restarted (duh!). Now quite understandable, the laptop starts and doesn't show yet anything on the screen when powered on (I guess that the bios is damaged).

  I found several ways to reflash the bios by using a floppy drive, but the problem is that the laptop is not equipped with a floppy drive.

  Can anyone recommend sort reflash the bios with the floppy drive? Maybe by putting in the shape of the USB as a floppy drive and start? I tried to use the usb reflash via the method of phoenix

  .. .but does not.

  any help would be appreciated!

  S is a shame and in my opinion, there is no real alternative for you about contact Toshiba service agent.
  If you're lucky, just the ROM module could be reflashed, but in the worst cases, the motherboard may be dead.

• Updated the BIOS via bootable USB drive

  I want to update the BIOS by using the ISO image provided. I want to write this image a usb, then on startup, the bios update. How to create bootable USB drive.

  My system is E430, although the question is pretty generic.

  Hi again, ahaider7

  I don't think that a program would be necessary. However, after doing more research, I'm not sure the work process. In addition, update the BIOS via USB is not supported, because as far as I know. If you want to update the BIOS of your machine, I highly recommend using the utility to update the BIOS. You can also burn the .iso to a CD and the image file.

  Kind regards

• Is it possible to update the BIOS without Windows installed - Satellie L30

  I have not installed WIndows on my Toshiba Satellite PSL33E. Is it possible to create a boot CD to upgrade the BIOS on my laptop?

  This is possible only if you have a BIOS traditional Toshiba update version.
  But the fact is that page European driver of Toshiba DOESN T provide this BIOS.
  If there is only a windows base BIOS, which means that you can update from Windows operating system running.

  Sorry, don't think that you could do that. Oohhh wait maybe the ASP in your country might help. Maybe the registered maintainer can be updated using a disk.

• DC5800MT: Try to update the bios on dc 5800 mt

  I saw there was an update of the bios for the DC5800MT, I went and downloaded. The file is a windows .exe file. I have 3 of these towers in my house and they all run on linux. I know, there was a way in the past to burn a cd and use it to update the bios without windows. Does anyone know how to do this? I do not wish to install windows just to update my bios. Thank you

  Hello:

  It is very easy Flash the BIOS of your PC without concern for what operating system you are running.

  Download a USB flash drive.  Format it in FAT32 file system.

  I compressed upward and the BIOS BACK dc5800 files to attach the latest available BIOS version, below.  v01.60 Rev.A (November 27, 2015)

  Download and uncompress the file in its folder.

  Then copy all the contents of the file from the folder on your USB flash drive.

  Plug the flash drive and reboot the PC.

  At the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F10 key to access the BIOS.

  Select the file menu, then select the Flash ROM of system menu.

  Select the USB flash drive and PC should see the contents of the file on the USB key.

  Follow the instructions to update the BIOS screen.

  See page 3 of the link below for the location of this command.

• Blue screen stop error 0x0000007e (etc.) updated the bios?

  My copy of Windows XP pro does not start at the login screen, I get a stop error 0x0000007e (0xc000005, 0x805d625b, 0xb84c34f0, 0xb84c31ec)

  I looked at these stop error numbers and, since there are a lot of hard disk space, try update BIOS.  The instructions on the Microsoft Web site stop at 'Contact your manufacturer.'  The Dell BIOS update, I downloaded is an .exe file, but the instructions I found are all for a .iso file.

  How do I boot from CD to update the BIOS without this kind of file name or how to update the bios in this form?

  Is there something else I should do if the BIOS update will not work?

  Thanks in advance

• Update the BIOS - protected A600 problem

  I'm trying to update my BIOS settings on my laptop (that I was invited to do by the service of Toshiba hardware update).

  I followed all the instructions provided by the program because it extracted and ran the update. However, the computer began the reboot process, but has been 'disconnected' windows (Vista Business) for about an hour now. I don't know how to stop the process without causing serious damage to my BIOS, but this does not seem normal.

  Help, please!

  Hi wilreb...

  I think that the user henharas a bad experience with the BIOS updates.
  I updated the BIOS many times and never had any problems...

  I assume you mean on Tempro software... this software informs you about updates on the Toshiba page. It is not a recommendation for an update, but simply an alert that new updates has been published...

  If your laptop is running properly, then update the BIOS is not really necessary...
  You must follow these tips; never change a running system ;)

  In any case, after the update of the BIOS shouldn't take too long and if she has completed, you should see the new version in the BIOS settings...

• I have improved my AZC-606 to 10 Windows without updating the BIOS of last year

  This is a step that I completely missed, as far as I know at the time, that acer had no information about the update and it's the first time I installed a Windows operating system - zero that I leaned on for the characteristics of the facility he said nothing about the BIOS (and there was nobody at Acer). Windows 10 has worked without problem on the machine. The only problem I had on a regular basis (and not always, but most of the time) is when the computer restarts it stalls on the Acer screen. I usually don't bother using the option restart. All that said, my experience of Windows 10 has been pretty good, and the machine running on most of the time was reliable, but I'm at a point where I want to go back and do a clean Windows installation.

  Now, I used the media creation tool to make an ISO. But the last time I used the MCT to paste directly to a flash drive, then maybe I'll do that once again. On the BIOS, I am a total n00b, so I don't know anything about. I assume it's something that I can still do / have done for me before installing Windows if I didn't not messed up already enough things. I'm kind of fishing for the answers that I have not yet to have questions for.

  What are my options, and what is the best option for me at this point? As I said, the Windows front-end runs under the best conditions in the State, and this backend that can go on is just invisible to me. Restart the computer just seems out of whack.

  Sorry to be verbose and vague.

  Since you always have a working windows installation, you can update now, and then perform the clean installation.

  Updating the BIOS is very simple and simply follow the instructions in the Readme inside the zip package.

  But firstly check you current BIOS version:

  key of the Windows logo + x

  Run

  type

  Msinfo32

  Check the BIOS DATE/version

  the latest version of the BIOS is P11. A4

• Question of updating the BIOS of the Tecra M10

  Hello

  I own a Tecra M10-10 q (abbreviated model: PTMB1E)
  I received a few days ago an automatic alert of Toshiba TEMPRO to inform a new BIOS driver.

  After downloading and extracting the .zip file, I launched the executable: P0065v190.exe
  Asked me to confirm that I want to date of current version BIOS BIOS package version 1.90 1.50

  When I click on 'Yes', I got a popup window titled: "TOSHIBA BIOS Package version 3.2.9!
  with between other precautions, the following statement:
  "Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista before updating the BIOS"

  A google search on what is "BitLocker Drive Encryption" and how to disable it, informs that it is under the heading 'Security' in the control panel.
  However, I can't find anything like "BitLocker", when I click on 'Security' in the Panel!

  So, I cancelled the update procedure. But I like to keep my system uptodate!
  What should I do? Where to find the BitLocker? How to make a such BIOS update?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Windows Bit locker drive BitLocker is a data protection feature that is available ONLY in Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.

  If you don t have one of these versions of Vista, then a Bilocker is NOT available on your preinstalled system!

  With regard to the update of the BIOS;
  I'm always that notice; never change a running system; so, if the laptop works properly and without problem a BIOS update is not necessary that s my personal opinion

• Update the BIOS on the Satellite 1900-803

  I just tried to update my bios on the recommendation of Microsoft because of reported serious CPU/bios conflicts.

  The routine bios flash downloaded seems to work well from the disk for about two minutes then suddenly shut the computer laptop everything without warning. The machine has restarted but only with a screen empty and not yet start either from floppy disks or hard drives.

  The front panel LED screen display the infrared icon in solid red without any Flash (there is no reference in the instruction booklet).
  I tried several keystrokes on re - boot from information obtained via google searches on the internet. None of them seem to make any difference. Supplied with the machine recovery CD does not work either re-boot when it is used with the recommended C more switch button power switch.
  I thought you are trying to reset the password using one of these parallel port fixers described on the net?
  Other ideas on a way forward?
  I guess that Toshiba offers no guarantee with their routines in the bios even if I lost a considerable amount of important data?

  Kind regards
  James

  Hello

  You are right. The guarantee only if no coverage of this misfortune.
  It seems that the laptop does not start because you have updated the BIOS with the wrong version or the wrong update procedure.

  Most of the time it's not easy to estimate what might be the problem.
  Maybe you are a lucky man and the BIOS chip be flashed only once again using a special procedure.
  In the worst cases, the jury is dead and you need a new

  Seems so you will have to contact the service technicians in your country.
  Ask guys for details and handling plus good luck
