Re: Unable to update BIOS onSatellite L40 - 17U

Hello

So, my laptop is Satellite L40 - 17U currently running bios 1.80 and try to update
to 5.50.

In windows 7, I'm trying to update the BIOS with the supplied *.bat file
toshiba Web site, I get an error:

Failure of WinIo initialization (WinIo.sys)

What could cause this error?

I also have an odd configuration of the OSes. It is installed Grub, which place in Ubuntu
or load the windows Boot Manager go where I can choose either Windows 7 (64-bit) or
XP (32 bit).

In addition, there are 4 partitions:
C for windows 7
D XP
E - just for storing files
and one for Ubuntu.

Do you know how can I solve this problem and update my BIOS?
Or can you offer other methods such as loading from a flash drive and do it regardless
the operating system?

ASI see THIS BIOS update for Windows XP Home edition.

Have you tried to start it under WXP_

By the way: what is the reason for the update of the BIOS? You have a problem with your laptop?

    In addition, the P0044v370.exe unpacks the package I recommend creating a folder on the desktop and to decompress the files in P0044v370.exe first. Then move to this new folder and run the exe file in the folder.

  • Satellite Pro L10: Unable to update BIOS

    Hello, I tried (three times) to update my BIOS using the Windows version, but everytime I try, it fails and sends a report to Microsoft - anyone know what is the problem and how to fix it?

    Hello

    First of all he must know that if you use the bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure, can damage the laptop (motherboard)
    I checked the Toshiba page and it seems that, currently, the BIOS release is 25/04/06 - version 2.6

    Please check this BIOS FAQ document:

    You can find the BIOS update.
    According to this document, you must use the traditional update of the BIOS (BIOS upgrade procedure 2).

  • 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?

  • X 220-unable to update BIOS

    I can't update the BIOS on the Thinkpad listed below.

    I tried to run the CD version of starting the program update (using the CD player in dock), and it reports the error:

    "The system file is not correct for this system.

    Windows BIOS update program reports based on the error (in or out dock):

    "The process does not have this system. The process has been cancelled.

    The Lenovo support page lists the new BIOS as being appropriate for this model. The BIOS reports the correct model and serial number.

    I want to update the BIOS only as part of a software reload / refresh of the laptop. No real problem with BIOS current to my knowledge.

    Does anyone have a suggestion?

  • T430s: Unable to update BIOS

    My T430s BIOS would not updated via System Update Utility, so I downloaded the executable Windows utility. This utility gave me an error saying: "the process does not have this system." I also tried the CD utility, but it gave me an error message saying "the file system is not correct for this system." The BIOS I downloaded is the correct version for my system - 2, 52. Any ideas what could be the problem?

    More information:

    OS - 64 bit Windows 8

    Current BIOS: 2.05

    Disabled legacy with Secure Boot UEFI boot mode

    Passwords and lock off

    My motherboard has been replaced today. BIOS updated very well and I can now put the supervisor password. I think the solution here was to replace my motherboard.

    The technician who replaced the Council stated that it works on HP, Dell, Lenovo and Apple laptops. According to him, Lenovo sees the least number of problems except for the CPU fan goes wrong. Apparently, this has been a problem for years, but Lenovo refuses to change fan supplier.

    I'm happy to have a computer to work again. My wife is looking to buy a new laptop for the next quarter. She said this weekend that she wants just a computer on which she can trust to work - she wants a Thinkpad. Unfortunately, my experience with Lenovo priority support left me a bitter taste in my mouth - the Thinkpads are really different than other laptops in the same price range?

  • Satellite T135 - update BIOS 2.70 won't be finished

    I have a Satellite T135 Win7 running with an original BIOS that I'm moving to 2.70. I ran all the other software updates in Service Station (2.1.51) with no problems. but the BIOS downloads 2.7, initiates and cautions that I'll need to reboot (I select Yes to execute) and receive notice of popup on the electrical problem (defective DC) which corrects this BIOS, then nothing. It just stops.

    I disabled my firewall windows antivirus, but the update is still unable to fill. I downloaded the file directly from Toshiba (outside the Service Station) and run the file and exactly the same thing happens.
    The event viewer shows all the related entries.

    Anyone has an idea on how to get the updated BIOS up-to-date?

    Hi mwarwick,

    Did you install any new version of package of added value of the Web from Toshiba site? This program is necessary if you want to update the BIOS to check if you have installed the latest version.

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS before doing the update. Then, go into the BIOS, press F9 to load the default values, save & exit it.

    Can update you the BIOS now?

  • Need driver Intel 965 Chipset for Satellite L40 - 17U running Vista Home

    I have a new L40 - 17U equipped Intel 965 Chipset & Vista Home Premium. I'm not interested in games but I can't get the 'Accelerator' to work. If I download & install official drivers, the system still refuses to work properly. Fault code 12. What I'm doing.

    Hello

    > I can't get the 'Accelerator' to work
    May I ask what you mean with Accelerator?

    Normally if you take drivers on the Toshiba page everything should work properly. I can t imagine that this driver doesn't work correctly.

    So as he has already written to try to reset the BIOS to default settings.
    In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop using Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Satellite L40 - 17U does not illuminate

    Hello world!

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L40 - 17U.
    It lights without a battery. Laptop works for several minutes with the battery, then turns off. Can it work without the battery? If it is possible, then, what can be the problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    If there is no problem with electronic power supply each notebook can operate with power current only (removed battery).
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. We don t know anything about this machine.
    Sine when did you notice this problem?
    Machine can also have problems if the BIOS is damaged.

  • T431s - cannot update BIOS - WINUPTP.exe 'code of error = 183.

    The existing BIOS is ver 1.04, and I try to upgrade to version is 1.06.

    The ISO image for the update of the BIOS seems to be a nogo because this machine is not an optical disc drive. Unless there is a way to copy the partition [BOOT] on the iso on a USB key.
