  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.

• How to update BIOS for Portege 7200

  Is someone out there to have a procedure to update the bios of a Portege 7200CT without the docking station.

  Toshiba posted a procedure in its newsletter, but it does not explain how to do the update without the docking station. As everyone knows that the Portege 7200CT has his floppy drive on the docking station and if we follow the Toshiba update the procedure to disconnect the laptop, so how do we proceed with the update if the update software requires a floppy drive that is enabled by default on the drive has :

  Hope someone out there has something to share!

  Hello

  I looked on the Toshiba site and there is no update the BIOS of your laptop. You have problems with your Portege?

• Updating BIOS for Tecra M7

  Hi guys,.

  I tried a bios upgrade for my Tecra M7 (as it is on version 1.70 - 17/10/2006).
  I found version 3, 20-victory - but of course, I've replaced Windows with Linux.

  I'd feel safer doing the traditional way anyway, so is there a way to get the folder on the CD from somewhere?
  Is it possible to pass a parameter to the program 'P0048v320_nVidiaGraphics.exe '?
  Is there a secret link?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is not so good, because toshiba does not provide a traditional BACK for this computer bios. You need a Windows system running with common modules installed to perform a bios update, if you find another way then you´re probably a lucky guy.

  I was using an old HDD with a recovery top Windows to update the bios on a Portege M400, so you should find a hard drive and install windows on it.

  Sorry man

• No option of virtualization in the BIOS with the Portege R500

  Hello

  Thought I'd post a new thread as the old man seems to be dead...

  I just want to know if someone has been able to use an extensions of virtualization Portege R500 processor, Linux, Windows or any other OS. I guess that this will become a requirement of mainstream with windows 7 now out.

  If you have been able to use it, could you please put your laptop model correct (it should be on a sticker on the bottom)

  This was my original post, showing that the CPU must support her:

  I HAV a Portege R500 (or a model equivalent, bought the Japan), v BIOS 1.60 and everytime I try to use applications that supports virtualization extensions, I can't. I use linux as my OS, and he tells me that the virtualization extensions have been disabled by the BIOS.

  However, I can't find an option for this in the BIOS! R500 manual (form available from the toshiba support area), there should be an option, just after "core multi processing", I can see:

  Virtualization technology
  Sets of virtualization technologies enable or disable the Intel Virtualization
  Technology installed in the processor.
  Virtualization technology Intel is the technique that allows a machine to
  operated under the name of multiple virtual machines.
  Virtualization technology is compatible with some models.
  The disabled command does not use the Intel Virtualization
  Technology.
  The use of Intel Virtualization Technology Enabled command.
  Virtualization technology allows.
  Activated
  Disables (default) virtualization technology.
  People with disabilities

  But it isn't here!

  In addition, I see that virtualization is supported by the processor - the 'vmx' flag is present. The processor is model U7600, it should be supported. You can see from the Intel Web site:

  http://processorfinder.Intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLV3W

  Anyone know if it is available through he windows BIOS app (although it is not documented in the manual)? Anyone know if it is possible to contact Toshiba and ask them?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Are you sure there is NO virtualization option in the BIOS?
  Have you checked all the pages?

  I found your other thread on the clearing of password and you said this doesn t work, but maybe it works you need to check the VT option yet!

  More as you say, the processor must support the VT to VT option in the BIOS the Intel Core 2 Duo processor ULV U7600 support VT

  As far as I know there are also a few sets of cell phones where the VT option is not available in the BIOS, but if the processor takes in charge the VT VT is enabled by default as well as the VT option is not present in the BIOS.

• Updating BIOS for Equium A60-181

  Hi, according to the toshiba site there is a new update of the BIOS for my laptop.
  I was wondering is it worth the update, unfortunately, there is no information
  provided regarding the bugfixes or improvements? Also can I use the
  Windows update tool or use the bootable CD, it's just I'm not sure
  flashing Windows XP, except if it is a procedure without normal fault?

  see you soon,

  Richard S.

  Hi Richard

  Richard you have some problems with this device? If everything works properly I don't see a reason any BIOS update.

  If you think that the update of the BIOS is necessary, you can try Windows based Bios update but please check the first Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before you continue.

• Updating BIOS for Satellite Pro 4600

  Hello everyone,

  I'm trying to update the bios and I followed the instructions, but I don't know what the problem is.

  2 - unzip them filed in a non-bootable disk is.
  3 - restart the computer with the disk in.

  Hello

  I found this statement to update the Toshiba BIOS for this series of portable:
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a formatted floppy disk (please see note below regarding the type of disk to use).
  2. make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
  3. turn off the laptop.
  4. turn on the laptop with the F12 key. Press and hold until a short beep can be heard.
  5. the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward"will appear.
  6. place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive and press a key. FDD access will begin.
  7. When prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn the AC OFF power off / WE) to restart" remove the disk and press the RESET switch (if available) or turn the system off and turn it on again to restart the laptop.

  But note; Update the BIOS is always risky! If your laptop works ok, then update the BIOS is not really necessary!

• Hi all, I need a little help to try to solve a problem of updating Bios for a long time.

  I downloaded the new update of the Bios on the HP site. But when I try to install the update, the process goes up to only while it presents me with an error. Any help would be appreciated, I am trying to upgrade the Bios for the new firmware in order to perform a better processor. Thank you...

  Error code: 3033

  "GoTo" label not found

  on line 89 of w:\patches\i...ate\windows\installer.wbt

  My system is...

  Compaq Presario SR1339uk

  Serial number: CZB5050HBW

  System number: PS267AA

  Motherboard: Asus PTGD1 - LA

  BIOS version: 3.13 12/14/04

  Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition

  Not sure what's going on here, but here is a suggestion on how to properly install manually the update of the BIOS.

  Assume that you download SP26760.exe (BIOS 3.28)

  Start the update - go to the last message you get before it fails and stop. (must be where it prompts you to close the applications and will be saved).

  Open a DOS (command prompt).    You must be an administrator - so if you're running Vista or Win7 - make sure that 'run as administrator ' at the opening of the box.

  Once in the BACK, type:

  CD FOLDER

  go the the directory of temporary files.

  Then make a

  DIR /S 328.LE ROM

  to find the directory where the update files are located.    Type CD < directory name > to go in this directory (on my system, it was a folder called pft467D.tmp, but it might be different on your)

  CD pft467D.tmp

  Now manually invoke (the prompt back, no windows or the windows file manager) the update, with the appropriate switches.  By omitting the switches can cause other problems, as have reported activation of Windows problems.

  AFUWIN /i328. ROM /pbc

  For reference, on my system, here's what I saw in these folders:

  C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > dir

  Volume in drive C is DRIVE_C
  Volume serial number is FE8F-4AA6

  Directory of C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp

  26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >.
  26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >...
  24/01/2006 15:31 524 288 328.le rom
  01/07/2004 10:54 53 248 AFUWIN.exe
  01/07/2004 10:54 amifldrv.sys 6 912
  21/02/2006 18:08 526 374 Installer.exe
  09/05/2006 17:10 sp26760.rtf 1 784
  11/04/2005 10:55 398 696 WBDEG44I. DLL
  6 file (s) on 1 511 302 bytes
  2 dir 110,361,944,064 bytes free

  C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > AFUWIN i328.rom /pbc

  It should work OK, however no guarantee if there's something else - but essentially - that's what the installer should do.   If this does not work for you - I wouldn't try to force things - you can make a good motherboard unusable quickly.

  For those who are looking to this announcement - the syntax is for this motherboard only - switches may be different for different motherboards.

  Good luck.!
