Tecra 550CDT, Details of the BIOS

Hello

I'm trying to figure out if my Tecra 550CDT will support the upgrade of my hard drive with 20 GB (from the current 4 GB).

However, the details about the BIOS of TOSHIBA are very rare on the support site - all I have to go on is my manual and Readme files that update the bios acommpany. It is not particularly useful.

I have of course updated to the latest version (8.0 years mid-2000), but I would like to know what it takes in charge before I buy.

Anyone know where I could find info on this BIOS or a way to say if it supports the upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

my friend has a Tecra 550CDT. He upgraded his up to 30 GB HARD drive.
But this update was made by a company in our city.
Works without problem. He told me they did only an update of the Bios.

Bye!

    Hello

    The message looks like you tried to boot and install Windows LAN

    If you want to change the boot order, I recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop was turned on!

    A new start menu should appear, then you can choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD) and a boot device.

    Also by pressing the C button should allow you to boot from the CD inserted, bootable.

  • Tecra M10 - update of the BIOS says "this computer is not supported.

    Recently refurbished a M10 - 10I to reinstall the operating system. WinXP install at all so I try to update the BIOS as it seems quite old (V1.5). Most recent version (and is available) for this machine seems to be V3.0. Download and try to run the file "P0065V300" and get the message:

    Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.3.0
    This computer is not supported

    What can I do? Its supposed to be for this model!

    Also, prefer a version of boot drive, but hey, I can use a version of Windows, assuming that it runs on Win7.

    Hello

    Tecra M10 - 10I belongs to the series of PTMB1E and according to the page of the Toshiba UE driver, BIOS v3.00 - WIN is the latest BIOS version which is available for this model.

    The BIOS update requires a few additional tools Toshiba as VAP (additional package for Win 7)

    If this driver isn't installed, the update of the BIOS would not work.

    JSpindler

    Hi jspindler,

    The question is why you want to update the BIOS? This update should be carried out only if it of really necessary. In addition, only the most recent update of the BIOS can be downloaded as it fixes most problems.

    In any case, you need to start the BIOS as an administrator and you should decompress all files from zip archive before start you. Also, make sure that the value added package is installed.

    By the way: what operating system is installed?

  • Tecra A7 after updating the Bios is recognized as Satellite M110

    Hello everyone.

    I'm new to this forum, and of course, I need your help.
    after update bios in my tecra a7 202 'Toshiba PC Diagnostic' shows:
    Model name: Satellite M110
    Number: PSBM0U-1234567
    SERIAL NUMBER: 000000000000000000000000000000
    Lower than that, everything is ok.

    I used bios5.10 for both parties. but when I tried to update software panda antivir only has not allowed me to open the winrar exe file.
    There was the vbs script that was dangerous in reviews of panda. I turned off Panda, but it still blocked the exe file. I decided to open the exe with winrar.
    After that, I run SA10Flash.exe. I saved the old bios and loaded a new - but there were 2 ROM files: S10PM510. ROM and S10GM510.ROM. first was younger and I decided to choose it. Maybe it was fake.

    Anyway after update in mode Bios was error with CRT or something like that and choose the option: F2 for configuration and default settings F1 charge. I took F1.
    After that, I have Satellite m110 :(

    Help, please
    Best regards

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don t you understand the procedure.
    Have you read the BIOS update document provided by Toshiba?
    The update of the BIOS is risky If you use a bad BIOS or bad update procedure!

    I checked out the site Toshiba driver and downloaded the BIOS for Tecra A7.
    I unzipped the 510win bios and I found the S10V510.exe file
    It is a file. You need to run!

    To me, it seems you used bad BIOS or bad procedure and therefore the cell displays a false name.

    PS: Don't worry ;) Satellite M110 is also a large notebook: D... just a joke

  • Tecra M3 - cannot update the BIOS

    Hello

    I have a Tecra M3 (PTM30E) and TEMPRO says they are 2 updates of bios for the computer.
    I downloaded, but when I run it I tells me that the computer is not supported. How to upgrade the BIOS?

    Best wishes

    Michael

    Why in the hell do you need a BIOS update?
    Only because the Tempro said that there is a new update?

    TEMPRO sends only a notification that a new file has been downloaded
    It s not a recommendation that you have so far!

    So if your laptop runs without problem don't update anything!

    I always took this advice; never change a running system! And it of really wise counsel

  • Where to find the details of the Bios Update

    Hello

    I just updated my HP Envy/Win Bios 4.3 8.1.

    I would like to find a wepage where can I find details about the changes in each version of the Bios, a Web page that I can also use later for details of future Bios.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I found the details of updating the current BIOS (F.43) under the software & drivers section for the TouchSmart from HP Envy m7-J010DX. There is no record of previous changes to the BIOS version.

    The information of the laptop is fn + esc and the label under the battery.

    Product name: HP Envy TouchSmart (TS) (fn + esc)

    Product name: m7-J010DX (label under the battery)

    Product model: E0K83UAR #ABA (fn + esc and the label under the battery)

    Product E0K83UA number accepts without the R #ABA part and form most suitable for this model number, however the E0K83UA lists a 1600 x 900 HD display, and the E0K83UAR #ABA has a full HD (FHD) 1900 x 1080 screen.

    Speculation: it is a refurbished model we HP, and it may be that the R indicates that it in the model number. The #ABA can be a qualifier of renovation indicating the State of the appearance of the machine after renovation, #AAA being the best.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to configure the bios to boot options? I'm trying to boot from a USB. I would like to the image of this laptop, hp probook 450 G2 using Symantec ghost casting. On the key usb are startup files to establish the connection.

    Found the solution in this complicated BIOS,

    First start without the memorystick, press ESC to enter biossettings-F10. Enter and close without saving changes (be sure turn you legacy settings, usb startup selected in the box).

    Start again with the stick, press F9, usb key appears in selectionsmenu.
