• Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR) - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm happy with my Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR), but I had some problems with the Energiesaving Mode on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
  I read on the internet that a BIOS update would be useful on the download site there is only 1 update of the BIOS and that includes WinPhlash but WinPhlash does not work on Vista or Windows 7.

  Because there is no other update tools on the host and my machine was delivered with the Vista operating system. Because of this, I created a bootable usb key with phlash16.exe and the 'm10a190.rom' I've renamed "bios.wph" on this subject.
  When I start BACK and enter ' phlash16/x', my laptop starts the Application and I see a progressbar crossing. After perhaps a second I see the main menu of Phlash16 but it freezes until I am able to do something (the keyboard doesn't respond when I press a button).

  Do you know what I did wrong, or is it not possible to update my BIOS?

  Thanks for your help and I look forward to receive your reply soon.
  Chris

  Hey Chris,

  I also checked the Web from Toshiba site for BIOS update on a series of Satellite A210 PSAFGE and it shows an update to BIOS version 1.90. This update is based on Windows and it will appear on all versions of Windows (XP, Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit). So perhaps you can explain what you mean with it doesn't work under Vista. You get an error message?

  I understand that the update doesn't work on Windows 7 because at the moment are no drivers available for this system in that time so the update should only be done on XP or Vista. I put t understand why try to Flash the BIOS in DOS mode. It's really risky and you can destroy the ROM module in the worst cases.

  I did also update the BIOS on my laptop, I did:
  -Update the BIOS on a Toshiba preinstalled OS
  -J' was logged in as an administrator
  -J' closed all the running background processes and programs, also the antivirus, firewall and internet connection
  -J' extracted all the files to zip archive and start the update has been done successfully.

  I hope I could help you! :)

• How to transfer the old operating system to Windows XP on a drive USB3 to allow the start of a new XP computer

  I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.

  I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.

  Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?

  Thank you.

  You do not have.  Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).

  You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system.  Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums.  A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)

• How update without the original operating system?

  I recently had to buy a hard drive for my counter top. I did this do not know that the operating system was not on it. I returned to Best Buys and the geek squad guy told me that with the new drive hard I have to install the operating system. Because I didn't it was suggested to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. Did not say anything else, so I bought a program two cents of dollar only to find out that this program is for an upgrade and not a new drive. Now I can't turn it on at all. Can someone please? Can I take that back and negotiate it? I'm not sure.

  Hello

  XP is not an upgrade, and you can buy XP or Windows 7.

  XP is no longer marketed by Microsoft or main computer for many years manufacturers.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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 once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

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

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Portege 3490CT: clock stops and how to remove the second operating system?

  I recently bought a 3490CT that has a few probs.
  (1) the continuous clock to stop--has a separate battery? It has an impact on things like sending emails, which are always evil dated/timed. You can set an hour latter, it stops again.

  (2) it came with 2 operating systems, Wind98 and Win2000... you get a choice at startup, how do I remove the old?

  (3) what updates are available to make it faster - playing DVDs on the "plug in the drive" is slow and jerky...

  Thanks to all, any info appreciated.

  Which one do you mean? The clock of the OS?
  Check in the BIOS if the time and data are correct.
  Eventually, you use settings area of bad weather and time of the laptop is going to be permanent synchronize with internet time server. This option that you can find in the Date and time properties

  Hello

  Retail upgrade disks/licenses can be transferred to another machine

  the only thing is: an installation at a time

  Here are the basics for the OEM and retail licenses:

  If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.
