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

See you soon

  • How does 3G on the Tecra M10 - 11V?

    I don't know how the capablilty of the 3G works on the Tecra M10 - 11V.

    A few ideas come to mind. With a different (a lenovo laptop), I noticed that the chipset integrated 3 g Vodafone is blocked. I also saw on another laptop space for a SIM card from a network of my choice.

    Judging by the previous posts, it seems that there is a space for a SIM card in the laptop.

    Anyone would be able to elaborate on this?

    Thank you very much!!
    Jon

    Remove the battery, you know a SIM slot?

    My friends Tecra M9 has a 3G slot and it can use any SIM. To make it work under Windows, it had to enter the proxy of suppliers in 3 G connection manager, then he worked :)

  • 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!

    Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

    If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

    Hello

    Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.
    The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

    Post edited by: kirekk

    Qosmio F50 - 10 k belongs to the series of PQF55E.
    If you want to update the BIOS, you will need to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.

    The European driver Toshiba page provides BIOS for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
    But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XP

    I think you can use the Win XP but the fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not XP

    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

  • Upgrading the BIOS on a Tecra M10 but without MS Windows

    Hello!

    My Tecra M10 runs OpenSolaris. No windows on this machine. Question is how upgraded the BIOS on this subject? The only file that I found to download is a Windows executable file...
    Another way? Such as the creation of a CD or a USB drive?

    Thanks in advance,
    Gilles gravel

    And what files you want to save on a CD or USB stick?
    Long since Toshiba doesn't offer traditional BIOS update but only the Win version.
    What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

    They have access to the database of Toshiba and I imagine that they can help you with the update of the BIOS.
    You can also exchange of HDD, recovery of installation image, make sure BIOS update and put old HDD with solaris back. Maybe some friend of you HARD drive and you can borrow for this purpose.

  • Satellite A200 - strange question after updating the graphics driver

    The problem is with the driver Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family. System: Grand VISTA 32 bit Home Premium Service Pack 1. Laptop: Satellite A200.

    I have installed the new driver of this (suggestion by Toshiba TEMPO) source:

    http://CE.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?id=65340&OSID=26&drive rLanguage = 42 & SOURCE = TEMPO & LNG = 20

    After switching on the computer, the system is constantly asking me ("warning on securities"), whether to execute (open) 3 files: C:\Windows\System32\igfxtray.exe /... hkcmd.exe /... igfxpers.exe. Disabling the option "Always ask before opening the file" does not help. I have to choose the option "Open / cancel / close" to continue the implementation of the windows (an option to switch). Please don't forget that I translated above mentioned communications of poles.

    Answer to the question, I received the support of Intel (r):

    ++ This is not really a problem with our drivers. This is related to the rights of the user/administrator and security functions defined by Windows * Vista. ++

    Yours faithfully,

    Maciej Kochan

    When you install the drivers, you must right click on the EXE file and choose "Run as Administrator".

    You should also temporarily disable your security software or reconfigure it to allow the file system.
    Tools such as AdAware and Spybot spyware removal (or spyware in your Internet Security package tool) may block the file system.

  • Blue screen of death, the Tecra M10 runing Win XP

    My Toshiba Tecra M10 works like a dream for three years without ever gasp

    Until the other day.

    My Toshiba laptop is constantly cycling with a BSoD - then I will start windows - it looks like it'll work - it gets in the paper password on screen - then a few blank screens - BSoD then again repeatedly

    I am running XP Pro SP 3

    I couldn't get my laptop to stop doing this, so I removed the battery and then the power cable and it started again and then when he went to BSoD I took a picture of the screen with my digicam fortunately I have one that focuses immediately and take the picture instantly too

    the ERROR is

    BAD_POOL_CALLER

    Tech Info

    STOP 0X000000C2 (0 X 00000043, 0XC38C0000, 0 X 00000000 0 00000000)

    I haven't changed anything on my PC recently and I have tried all the beginning of the top safe mode and last known good configuration but it still cycles round and round and round

    This laptop is not connected to anything and comes standard with a module of memory 2 MB in it to bog

    the last known good configuration does not either, nor did one of the other options in the "safe".

    So I slipped on the HARD drive and tried to boot from my XP CD - not the recovery of Toshiba, one that I have not tried this one in the laptop again.

    Rather unsurprisingly with no HARD drive in the laptop, I got a different error

    STOP 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

    which is I believe the inaccessible boot device - I know, it cannot see the HARD drive because it is sitting on my desk but would wait to boot from the XP CD... ISN'T IT?

    I tried to set all the parameters by default both boot - no difference

    With the HARD drive in - the laptop boots as windows user enter screen with no problems but doesn't stop on this screen - after a few screens blank the BSoD comes up and off it goes again.

    In the advanced startup options, I changed auto-start on setting error so it does not loop forever. and this prevents loop to the start cycle... seems to be changing this setting is not a permanent change

    Then I went into the BIOS and under the mode of the SATA AHCI to IDE controller and the STOP error 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) is gone now and the pc will try to install Windows until I need to see the HARD drive and then gives up trying to install XP with a no. HHD error (the HHD is based of course on my desk) so it was a valid error expected...
    put the HARD return drive without changing the BIOS back makes it appear the STOP 0x000000C2 (0 x 00000043, 0xC38C0000, 0 x 00000000 0x00000000) error

    HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP please

    Hello

    I think you should test the HARD drive don't you agree?
    In my opinion, this should be the first part that should be checked since the new operating system installation was not possible

    I recommend the use of the tool called: HDD Drive Fitness Test. This software creates a bootable floppy to test. You can use this disk to run a test HARD drive without installation of any system.

    If the error would be detected: replace the HARD drive.
    If no error would be: use the Toshiba Recovery disk in order to install the system. (don t forget to put back the BIOS to default)

  • 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.

    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.

  • Satellite X 200-219: Question about updating the display driver?

    Sad tales I've heard talk about manufacturers of laptop never updated to gfx card drivers apply to toshiba?

    Any info on the question of whether an update for their SLi systems drivers display is on the horizon?

    see you soon-

    The fact is that display driver cannot be updated daily as for desktop computers. Priority by the manufacturers of cell phones is worrying about the operation of the equipment. Using new graphics card drivers will be forced to run faster and better that offers better graphics performance. The result is essentially an overheating and may end with a faulty graphics card.

    In this case, the card mother together must be exchanged and it costs a lot of money. So, I think that no one can say with certainty when the next pilot will be available.
