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
-LAN
-WLAN
-Card reader
-...

    As already suggested in this forum the Vista 64 bit drivers are not available for all Toshiba laptops.
    What you can do is to search on different websites for these drivers for Vista 64-bit.
    For example, you can search on the page Intel or Realtek.

    Chip manufacturers should provide 64-bit drivers too.

    > Another question (I'm not an expert): my laptop has 4 GB of RAM and a couple guys told me that only a 64 bit OS can use all my 4 GB of RAM. Is this true?
    The 32-bit OS no matter if it s Vista or XP would recognize only 3.2 GB of RAM.
    Only the 64 bit OS can see 4 GB of RAM or more

  • Satellite A300 - need drivers for Vista 64 bit

    Hi all

    I have the satellite A300 (PSAGOS - 03401C), I did a fresh install of Vista 64-bit, but unable to find the drivers for the device. Research on Toshiba driver support has not been successful.

    Any help appreciated. Thank you

    Hi married,

    Satellite A300 PSAG0S unknown to me, but on the European page, I created a similar model, PSAG0E. But the problem is that there is no drivers for Vista 64-bit, so I tried a Windows 7 64 bit and here I could found the more pilots. Normally, Windows 7 drivers should also work, they are compatible to Windows Vista downgrade.

    Make sure that your antivirus program is disabled. It should be in safe mode, but check to be sure.

    If the antivirus program is active for a windows-based BIOS flash, the antivirus program may try to interrupt the flash 'think' a virus attacks the BIOS. A BIOS flash interrupted computer = death.

  • Satellite A200 - 10W PSAECE - BIOS need for Vista 64-bit

    Hello

    I'm having problems trying to update my BIOS under Vista 64-bit of the system. The plashnt.sys driver generates an error when loading.
    On the update of the BIOS page I can't find no 64-bit BIOS update for my laptop Satellite A200-10W (PSAECE). Also I've seen most of the computers portable ETA is updates of BIOS of 2009 and my update to the newest BIOS comes from 2007 (version 1.80 for Windows Vista)!

    The reason why I'm trying to update my BIOS:
    I have recently installed 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, the screen of the BIOS reports 4 GB but during POST, there are only 3! Vista reports also only 3 GB of physical memory total. I ran a series of landmarks and notes I got using 4 GB are well below the marks using only 2.
    Memory modules have been tested on another laptop and none of these problems has occurred (another laptop of the manufacturer).

    So I really need a sollution to update my BIOS and prefferably a BIOS update of 2009 available for download.

    On the other hand, I was looking for specifications of my laptop on the Toshiba site and I couldn't find my model on the current models, or models discotinued page. In 2007, when I bought the laptop, it was listed as new on the current page of models, so I expect at least to see it in the abandoned list.

    Thank you for your time!

    > 1. Why there is no updated BIOS newer than that of 2007 and
    There is no update of the most recent BIOS as Toshiba didn t release new updates.
    Why? Who knows maybe a new update is not necessary.

    > . Why my laptop is not listed in the discontinuous model (Satellite a200 - 10w psaece)
    Why should it be included as a discontinued model? The A200 series is not very old... so I n t think that this series could be abandoned

  • Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
    I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

    But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
    It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

    But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

    Hello

    Yes, you can install Win XP on this laptop with Vista BIOS.
    It might be possible that some features of the laptop do not work with Vista BIOS and therefore you could update the BIOS to the version of Win XP (if available) after Windows XP has been installed.

    The fact is that you have a model of cell phone US and everything you need you can find in http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp

    There you can select your model laptop and see what Toshiba offers. You'll find BIOS update 1.8 with support for Windows XP Home edition. Updating the BIOS will not help solve this problem with disk HARD invisible but you need this update of the BIOS for the full support of Windows XP Home edition feature.

    For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. Click on the link posted by the previous user.
    Just one last thing: for WXP installation using Windows XP Home with SP2 integrated.

  • Satellite A500D - FN key does not - need tool for Vista 64-bit

    Hi experts,

    I would like to ask for help on the problem of my laptop.
    The FN key is not working now. I tried to restart the Flash cards, but nothing happens.
    I read on a few discussions that I must download the VAP and drivers section flashing utility.

    That is, that there is no option for vista 64 on the list. I have the European backup installation discs (CD 7 or 9?) but I do not intend to reinstall new OS.
    I can not activate the button for the antenna, because it requires the combination FN + F8.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It seems that there are only some a lot of drivers for Vista 64 bit for Satellite A500D not published on the page of the European driver Toshiba
    This is why I would recommend checking the VAP (value added package) and card Support Flash Utility released for a series of Satellite A500.

    In fact, utility Support Flash Cards for Vista 64-bit is a 1.63.0.3C v

    Hey,.

    Hope you can help me...
    Satellite P300D-12F (PSPD4E - 018001GR) is a portable computer that has a 64-bit processor...
    So why I can't find the drivers on the page of the driver for Vista 64 bit?

    Hello

    > Why I can't find drivers on the page of the driver for Vista 64 bit?
    Maybe the 64 bit Vista drivers are not available at this moment, because this series is new to the market and the driver 64 bit Vista will be released in the near future.

    I think that it s just a matter of time when the pilots will be published on the European driver Toshiba page.

    Not out of patience ;)

  • Question about updating BIOS for Satellite 2450-101

    Hi, I want to update BIOS for my Satellite 2450-101 (model: PS245E-01TMY-IT). I downloaded the BIOS "bios - 20071008123347.zip" on Toshiba Europe site (see link below). Is this the right one for my PC?
    What do you propose to make a backup of the existing before installing the new?

    I want to make an extension of memory, but I'm not sure whether this is necessary. Do you reccoment to update the bios anyway?

    Thank you very much!

    BIOS

    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.
