Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

Hello

Just a question;
You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
Is this good?

So now my suggestion;
Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

    The BIOS update should work also on XP, but in some rare cases the update cannot be performed and in this case, you will need to the Toshiba preinstalled the operating system in order to update the BIOS

  • Question about updating the BIOS and drivers

    Hello

    First time user. How will I know if I need to update bios and drivers? I don't want to go crashing my system, just because Toshiba say these items are available for my laptop! They were probably in the updates of windows?

    Help, please.

    Hi Andy

    Welcome to our small community
    First a little advice you should always write the name of your laptop.

    OK now, to you in general I have a question would not recommend to update anything if you laptop and operating system is stable and you don t have problems.
    Of course the update of the driver is not risky, but I would only run updates some compatibility problems with 3rd party software or hardware appears.

    The update of the BIOS is risky. Wrong or bad BIOS update procedure could damage the ROM module on the map. So be careful.

  • Question about updating the BIOS

    can someone explain what a bios driver is and what it does does.l have noticed that my model has an update available, is useful to do or do not l notice the difference.thanks in advance

    Hello

    If your laptop has problems that cannot be resolved with an update of the driver if a new version of the BIOS could solve some problems. But as Sylvain said if the laptop works correctly you do not need to do any update of the BIOS because the incorrect BIOS procedure may damage the motherboard.

  • Update the BIOS for Satellite U400-10O required

    Hello world

    I have a SATELLITE U400-10 oC (PSU40E-00R00EG3). It is an old product, but once I always love use regularly.

    Recently, I bought a battery for this device upgrade. Unfortunately, it does not recognize the laptop. The work of the battery, but I don't you all information about the charge level. I tried various tricks 'reset' (removing ACPI Microsoft in the list of the drivers installed, running down the battery completely etc..).

    I think the BIOS might be exceeded and I'd like to update. Unfortunately, the Web of Toshiba site does not list updates for him more. Still, someone has access to updates the BIOS for this?

    The BIOS is a Phoenix currently to version 4.70.

    Hello

    N my BIOS of opinion has nothing to do with it. Battery can be replaced, and if you use compatible batteries they should be recognized correctly. Here is the list of all compatible batteries:
    PA3534U-1BAS/BRS
    1BAS/PA3536U-1BRS
    PA3634U-1BAS/BRS
    PA3635U-1BAM/BRM

    Purchased one of these and original Toshiba product (label Toshiba) or a product without a name?

  • Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

    Hi all

    I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
    The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
    I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
    This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

    There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
    I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
    Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

    Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

    So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

    Thank you very much!!

    AJ.

    Hello

    I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

    But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

    Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

    Back to BIOS update:
    In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
    Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

  • Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

    Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:
    01/21/09
    Update the BIOS
    Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
    01/21/09
    Update the BIOS
    Toshiba OS independent 2, 00 - WIN World Wide

    In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
    My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

    My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

    Hello

    > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
    You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
    So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

    If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running

    PC desktop, HP Pavilion Elite 9400F

    Windows 7 64-bit.

    Error message: Incorrect for your system (253) Bios please contact support.

    I use the bios upgrade HP site says to download for my PC, but the upgrade works only with a card mother M2P61PM-HM.

    Mine has a motherboard M2n68-(NARRA3) and the latest bios for this motherboard does not support Windows 7 and is abandoned.

    My system black screen constantly when out of mode 'sleep' and upgrade the bios addresses that issue.

    Try to use the BIOS Nettle3 update on the card mother Narra3 will cause problems. Most of the time that BIOS HP update routines is written for a specific operating system and will not install on other operating systems.

    Make sure you use the update of the correct M2N68LA BIOS for your motherboard Narra3, several different versions of the M2N68LA were made (narrated, Narra3, etc.)

    Please put back the computer it's original Vista OS to install the M2N68LA (Narra3) update of the BIOS. After you install the update, you can return the system to Windows 7. Make it easy and not lose all personal data, disconnect your Windows 7 drive and a blank disc. Using the recovery DVD, install Vista. Update the BIOS. Disconnect the Vista disc, and then reconnect the player to Windows 7. You should be good to go.

  • 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
