Re: Unable to update BIOS on Satellite A660

My laptop Toshiba Satellite A660 from the hard drive (psaw3a-07t00r) does not so I bought a new one (WD500BEVT) when I put in the laptop and try to install windows, it tells me
"This computer hardware cannot support the start on this disc, make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the computer's Bios menu"

In the bios, the only option I could find associated is the SATA controller Mode which when changed to compatibility, it will not boot the disk and just shows a white screen.
So I thought that I would update the bios, I borrowed a friend's hard drive and installed windows to him as well as all of the current drivers and programs of toshiba but when I try to update the BIOS, he said
The program will be closed
There is an error occurred, please check the items below.
BIOS version is greater than 230.
Battery capacity more than 20%.
AC is attached

So I don't know what the problem is I have the attached power and the battery is fully charged.

Hello

The history is somewhat strange. With friends, HARD drive, everything is OK, but with one is not new. Is it not suspicious somehow for you?
Is that the BIOS update, I think, won't help you any, because with the update of the BIOS, you may not receive certain additional options, so in the whole BIOS update is not so important.

I don t know that HDD was inside, but my opinion is that you should order the same or buy another HARD drive.
I ve checked specification for WD500BEVT and for me it's OK.
Have you tried to set the BIOS for the parameters by default until you ve started installing Windows?

  • I need BIOS for Satellite A660 PSAW3E was last updated

    Hello world

    I have laptop
    Model A660 - 17 M
    Version PSAW3E-06P00WAR
    Version of the BIOS 2.30

    And every time I run the program more agent bios it shows me that there is a new bios update
    and when I check drivers Toshiba it show me the same bios update that I run now

    Look at this picture that I took of bios agent web page
    [http://store1.up-00.com/2014-08/1407327946181.png]

    I hope you can give me the last update of the bios

    > And each time I run the program more agent bios it shows me that there is a new bios update

    The bios agent plus the program is a 3rd party software and not Toshiba certified application.

    In addition, latest updates BIOS for laptops Toshiba EU models can be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page.

    I checked this page and the BIOS 2.30 is the latest BIOS for this model, and this means that your BIOS is already up-to-date.

    LAT, but no less Toshiba provides own sofware called Toshiba Service Station and this tool informs you about the actual updates

  • Re: 1 GB of RAM / update BIOS for Satellite 1110

    Hello

    I ordered 2 x 512 MB of RAM at CompuRAM. According to their information 1 GB is possible for this model. According to the user manual only 512 MB is possible. As normally CompuRAM information is right (maybe necessary BIOS update), I tried.

    But it does not work. I can only use 1 x 512 MB.

    Does anyone have information on RAM update for Toshiba Satellite 1110 (model PS111E-003DN-GR/S1110-Z16)?
    Could help update the BIOS?
    How to find the update of the BIOS in the Toshiba homepage (model 1110 does not exist)?

    For any help thanks!

    Thomas

    Hello

    I found the info that this notebook can handle with 512 MB max.
    Sorry, but the BIOS update is unable to help.

  • Problems of updating BIOS on Satellite L40 - 15G

    Good afternoon.

    I have Toshiba Satellite L40 - 15G and I want to put 4 GB of ram (2 x 2).
    It works with 3 GB but with 4 GB it just does not start - gives me a blue screen.

    I read on the internet and discovered that I have to update my BIOS (my version curent is 1.60).
    I have vista 32 bit. I also tried to do the update via the site of toshiba, but without success.
    I am running the .exe file, but when I restart the computer I have the same version.

    What should I do?

    In the hope of a response.
    Pedro

    Hello

    I think you are using an incorrect BIOS.
    Satellite L40 - 15 G seems to belong to the series of PSL48E

    Check again!

    Toshiba Europe page provides a BIOS 2, 00-VICTORY for Vista and WIN-5, 50 for Win XP

    Regarding the upgrade of memory:
    I don't know if your laptop would be m supports 4 GB of RAM. Is that there are different models of L40 and some models supports only 2 GB of RAM!

    Your L40 - 15 G seems to use the Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset...
    Check out the details on the Intel page which RAM max can be managed by the Intel GL960 Express Chipset.

    Hello

    Toshiba offers updates BIOS to WIN. This means that the BIOS update can be done under Windows operating system only. You can't do this if you use Linux.

    Is there a reason to update BIOS? I mean, if everything is OK you must not update BIOS to the latest version.

  • Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
    I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

    But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
    It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

    But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

  • After update BIOS my Satellite A200-h-13 is slower

    My laptop's slower since I updated the BIOS? I bought this phone 1.5 months ago and now it takes 7 minutes to get started! Internet Explorer takes 50 seconds to start...

    I installed an update that is not compatible with my laptop? What should I do?

    I updated the BIOS on Satellite A200 (PSAE0) to version 5.20 and there is no change at all. Maybe you should back up all your important data and make the clean OS install.

    I know it sounds stupid, but you have to understand that no one here do know your own settings of operating system and what can be the reason for the slow start.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello!

    Yes, it's the good BIOS because it s also for your model (Satellite 2450-101).

    A BIOS update is an upgrade of RAM is not necessary. The BIOS has nothing to do with the maximum RAM capacity.
    Satellite 2450-101 supports up to 1 GB, type PC2100 DDR - RAM.
