Satellite A40: How update the BIOS because I only have half of the Bios

Hi guys

I went to the local with my satellite A40 computer store because I only have half of the bios!
I sent an email to support technique German toshiba and they said to try a bios update (which put bare in mind I still don't know how to do), then we have sent my laptop in a local computer store and told them the problem they do not put me to update the bios on a processor cempron.

Why not? What are the risks in need to know.

Please help me because I want to in the future might be upgraded to vista?

Hello Daniel,.

I'm a little confused about your message from Mr.
What do you mean with half of the bios is enough?
What s wrong with the BIOS?

The support from Toshiba said-> try a BIOS update.
On the Toshiba page, you can download the BIOS for Satellite A40.

It seems you didn't check the download page detailed because on this page you will find this statement:
IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

The update of the BIOS has been detailed described in this document and that you follow these guidelines for the update of the BIOS.

Good bye

    Maximum machines, the license can be activated is 2. Somehow, it seems that on your side the same license can be activated on any 3rd machine as well.

    Activating the license on any other machine, please select the option to disconnect all other devices and try again.

    Hello

    I downloaded the update of the Toshibas files download area and read the instructions, but in vain.

    It doesn't seem to be a flash Bios of Windows for the 4320 utillity, so I just downloaded the zip file and place content (1 Exe, 1 tray, 1 Pdf) on a floppy, rebooted the laptop holding F12 but I got was 3 lines of text in German and a DOS prompt - I know that I downloaded from the site of English support because I did it 3 times now!

    Thank you

    Barry

    It is a statement of the BIOS update:

    1. step:
    Use a (not bootable) 1.4 MB 3.5 "floppy and copy the BIOS files on it."
    2. step:
    Turn off the machine, turn it on by now pressed the F12 key
    and choose to boot from the diskette.
    For more recent machines, press the ALT key and the SPACEBAR
    The rest is automatic.

    If there is only a problem please read the information to update the BIOS on the Web site.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

    I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

    There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

    Hello

    Why you need to update the BIOS?
    I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

    Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

  • Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

    Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

    I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
    Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
    But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

    If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

    I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
    My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

    Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

    > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

    What do you mean by update recovery partition?
    The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

    In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

    Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
    It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  • Satellite M100 - after updating the BIOS, it no longer starts

    Hey everyone :)

    BIOS problem: I was updating * BIOS * by WinFlash and my laptop 'freezes' if the BIOS is DAMAGED. Computer laptop does ' t start.
    I was updating my XP laptop to * 3.00* BIOS version.

    How to fix BIOS?

    Hey mate,

    I agree with Akuma and I think that in this case, you can't do anything. If the laptop froze during the update of the BIOS I think the ROM module is now destroyed and needs to be reflashed or exchanged. In this case only an ASP can help you.

    On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of ASP and you should contact the nearest one. Talk with the technicians, and they will try to help you.

    Good luck! :)

  • Slow down the Satellite A40 - how to set factory settings

    I have a Satellite A40 series and over time it began to slow down. I want to do is go back to its factory settings.

    Everyone there of suggestions on how to get there.

    Thanking you in advance.

    You want to redefine the laptop to factory settings?

    Well, it's very easy why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    This CD contains an image of Toshiba, which has been preinstalled on the laptop at the beginning.

    Just boot from the recovery CD and follow the instructions on the screen

    But note; the recovery CD would format the whole HARD drive. So you backup important data first if you need it at a later time.

  • Satellite P100: After updating the BIOS 3.8 I can't access MCE pressing enter

    Hello!

    I was able to enter XP MCE by pressing the Enter key when the Welcome screen. Now I cannot and must click on the photo of the small image. Is it because of 3.8 BIOS that I put in place recently or not? Can I do this option still works? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I put t know if you can restore this option but you should access the BIOS and try to define again the default settings t.
    Don t forget to save the settings if you exit BIOS ;)

    But I really don't understand why you have updated the BIOS. If the laptop is running without any problems a BIOS update is not necessary!
    Therefore, never change a system up and running, you know? ;)

    Besides as I know the P100 were not delivered with Microsoft XP MCE but with XP Home and Express Media Player or Vista

  • Satellite Pro 4220 - update the BIOS does not start

    Hello!

    Please, someone tell me what is the problem with the update to v1.60 SP4220 BIOS? It does not start even do it according to instructions.

    I did the following:
    1 download/have unzipped the package v1.60 since the BIOS page on a non-bootable floppy disk empty
    2. put the floppy in the computer
    3. turn on the device with the F12 key

    With a floppy, I got the "non-system disk" error and another with a "EMBRL" error message missing. What is it, I'm not familiar with that one?

    Best regards

    Hello

    Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
    You have problems?
    If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

    However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
    Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

  • Satellite L850-147 - updated the BIOS but what?

    Hello

    has obtained a PSKDLE L850-147. TEMPRO soft want me to install a new bios.
    Sweet gas station tells me there is nothing to update. (In the past, I've already updated my bios with Service Station)

    Who should I believe?

    In General, you can trust these two tools pre-installed.
    > In the past, I've already updated my bios with Service Station
    This means that you already have the latest version of the BIOS? Have you checked the BIOS Toshiba download page if a newer version is available - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

    In any case, if the system works you do not need to change anything.

  • Satellite L350-277 - update the new BIOS and Wifi pilot

    TEMPRO gave me 2 new drivers, but received instructions.

    BIOS setting has been an operation involving the driver of the copy on a disk and then to change to start with disk boot order.
    However, I think that the new BIOS drivers are installed with running Windows - like a normal program. Does anyone know for sure?

    I guess the wifi pilot is a normal installation, with the wifi on or off?

    Hello

    Just a question;
    Is an update of the driver WLan and BIOS update needed?
    I mean; you have problems with your laptop where these updates would be necessary?

    You should not update if everything is OK. in most cases the Tempro informs you about the drivers and tools that are uploaded on the page of the driver, but it is not a recommendation for an update, you know what I mean?

    I'm always this trick; never change a running system.

    Hello

    Do you mean that the laptop does not power upward?
    Are there any other reaction to the laptop?
    You can access the BIOS?

    If this isn't the case, then it seems that something was wrong during the BIOS update process.
    In this case, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    Maybe the ROM module needs to be flashed again

  • How update the vmware tools on the guest or virtualcenter

    Hello

    We run a store where we support some linux boxes.  We had some problems with time drift and other things and on our vmware guy suggested put us the version of VMWare tools on the guest or virtual Center.  The only problem is that I can't find a procedure for this.

    To clarify, I'm not how to install VMWare tools on virtual machines.  We know how to do and we know to recompile after we patch the kernel.  But our guys VMWare suggests that in the end we're just recompile the same old version of VMWare tools to make it work with the new kernel.

    In fact, we suspect the version we have is very old, that we have not successfully updated because we were running on 2.5 and are now running on 4.0 Update 1 (wait for the 4.1 support nexus is added).

    Thank you

    Dan

    Welcome to the forums!

    So I assume you mean updating the source VMware Tools, which is then used to update VMware tools in guests?

    The guy from VMware is true, recompile the tools is necessary after a kernel update has been done. It is not up-to-date version. However, you must do that to make them work again.

    The latest VMware tools comes with the latest product or updates/patches for this product. Information shows that the tools are not updated after you apply this hotfix or an update.

    They also can be downloaded here (for ESX 4.x) : http://www.vmware.com/patch/s3portal.portal?_nfpb=true&_windowLabel=SearchPatch&SearchPatch_actionOverride=%2Fportlets%2Fpatchupdate%2FdisplayAllBundlePatches&_pageLabel=s3portal_pages_downloadPatch_page
