Recovery HP 2000 - 2b89WM w / HP discs, update BIOS using XP 32 bit

HP 2000-2b89WM, product c2m42ua #aba, apparently Win8, 64-bit.

I'm trying to help a friend with a dead laptop. Hard drive has been damaged and the machine does not start. Got a new hard drive and the discs of HP recovery, but the recovery discs just to say that the recovery has failed, and is log file refers to two other log files that do not exist. So.

I'm trying to Flash the BIOS with the latest version - maybe that will help you. Problem is the only computer I have available to create a disc USB with BIOS on this subject is a 32-bit XP (Dell) machine. The BIOS utility decompresses the files, but after saying he can do (updated this device, create USB recovery, copy the BIOS image), it blocks the XP machine.

1. How can I get the BIOS image (apparently a .bin file is of sync, not in the utility decompressed files) on the USB so I can update the BIOS? (I can get to diagnostic mode, but it does not have the BIOS file on the USB key).

2. any other recommendations to get the recovery disks to start? (Tried to set clock to 2012, reset the BIOS by default. Recovery discs are blank - no scratches, no dust.)

The "supplement" thought of it - drive was causing the problem. I used the 3 DVD system and when he asked for the extra disc, I said to Skip - and everything was fine.

No idea what was on this disc of supplement. The label says the drivers and applications, but the actual content was a bunch of folders with absurd names. No request.

  • Satellite U400 - update BIOS for Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64-bit

    I currently have Vista 32 bit on my U400. I intend to do a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded all the necessary drivers on the Toshiba site for the 64-bit Windows 7 update. I noticed there is a BIOS of Vista 64 bit driver. Do I need to install this before you proceed with the installation or after?

    So, is there a particular order to install all the drivers, utilities and applications?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Normally, this update of the BIOS must be made. You will need to use all the features of your laptop.

    I have improved my U400 Vista 32 bit to Vista 64-bit. After this update I started the update of the BIOS. Everything worked properly during this procedure because I closed all programs that are running (also AntiVirus/firewall) and was registered as an administrator.

    About installation order I didn t find a specific list, so I used this command:
    -Chipset
    -Display
    -Sound

  • Freezing and slow: would not update Bios using Windows 7? Could not find a...

    I had problems with horrible or recurring virus on my HP Pavilion 061 (RK551AA-ABAa1648x) so I installed Windows 7 32 bit.  The system is now incompatible: it runs slowly, often hangs and can be difficult to start.  I tried a BIOS updated, but it does not exist?  This seems strange - my current version is 3.06 14/07/2006.  I updated the NVIDIA chipset driver.  I intend to install 2 GB of additional RAM.  Then it is true that it is not a BIOS available updated?  All suggested fixes?

    I suggest that you back up your data and make a complete reformat of your hard drive. Then re - install W7.

    My striped child mine up to hell and back and he won t work either :-(

    Regards Wayne

    Satellite M30 is old enough laptop model and I don't think that to do this, you can order a Toshiba recovery media.
    What you can try is to contact the nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help.
    Addresses and phone numbers, you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support > find an ASP.

    Otherwise you can use the CD of Microsoft facilities for the installation of Windows XP Home edition. Download page for all drivers & tools Toshiba utilities that you can download from Toshiba. Your laptop is listed in the archives.

  • I have two Acer ASpire laptops. They are totally frozen because of the virus. I lost the recovery of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, where to get a replacement. I have to rebuild my laptop.

    I have two Acer Aspire laptops.  They are totally frozen because of the virus.
    I lost the recovery of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, where to get a replacement.
    I have to rebuild my laptop.

    Hello

    No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

    If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

    All data are lost when you do the above.

    And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

    They do that for a small fee:

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • M92p Tiny - no bootable disc after update BIOS to 9SKT59A (dual boot Linux/Win7) GPT/EFI

    Hello

    I've updated my Lenovo ThinkCentre m92p tiny A1G 3237 - to the 9SKT59A of the BIOS version.
    I use a SSD OCZ with GRUB2 and Win7/Linux dualboot (UEFI/GPT) without any problem.

    After that the updated BIOS update it was SecureBoot activated and I couldn't start obviously GRUB2.

    Then I disabled SecureBoot and changed the boot order, but when I try to include the SSD with x, it disappears from the list excluded bootable devices but do not appear in the devices included.

    Now, I'm only able to boot using USB key where a grub2 is also installed. I'm sure it's a bug in the BIOS!

    Can anyone else confirm or solved this probem?

    See you soon

    Mijenix

    Updated the BIOS to 9sj960usa fixed the problem for me. As I was not able to boot using CD/USB-SSD, I was able to GRUB2 boot Win7 on a USB key and has used the flash .exe file.

  • Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

    So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
    OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

    I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
    But there was a surprise:
    Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
    1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
    2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

    I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
    Extraction of it I get 8 files:
    -fdbase.img
    -InsydeFlash.exe
    -iscflash.dll
    -iscflash.vxd
    -KPM170. ROM
    -Platform.ini
    -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

    Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

    Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
    I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

    Hello

    Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
    -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
    -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

    Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

    Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

    Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?
