I installed Windows XP on a different partition on my Tecra 8100. I downloaded the base BIOS Windows Update for XP, but it is ' t work the way says the tutorial.
After you extract the files when I try to run then it gives following message-

TOSHIBA common Module is not installed.
Or you don't have administrator privileges.

What should I do? Press OK to exit the application and another option is to save the BIOS files but where? Sounds good bit risky.
Pls help

  • Problem of Tecra M5 BIOS update

    I downloaded the file from the Toshiba site and now have P003Fv370.exe. Race that happens just with "update of the BIOS is not supported OS, unsupported operating system or service pack is installed". I was under the impression that it was independent BONES? Please help, I need to update to stop it crashing and blue screening me every half hour. I have already installed the value-added package.

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 PTM51E
    Running Windows 7 Enterprise
    Current installed BIOS is version 1.70

    I also read somewhere on the installation with a USB key, if someone could help I would appreciate it. Thank you.

    Post edited by: deleting
    Just tried again and it says "Could not create"C:\TOSHBIOS. " UPD file! "I don't know what is happening more.

    Hello

    The P003Fv370.exe is a package.
    Right click on that package and select unpack here.
    Now you should see the other folders inside this .exe package.

    From my knowledge, it takes a file that starts the BIOS update.

    If it won't work, I guess you need the original preinstalled system Toshiba update BIOS.
    The other hand I n t think that BSOD appears due to the old version of the BIOS.
    I guess that the update does not solve the problem.

    Maybe the BSOD appears due to a problem of critical software or hardware issues so would be really interesting to know if the same thing happens with the help of preinstalled Toshiba system

  • Re: Tecra M9 bios update without windows

    I have a Tecra M9 runs only [Opensolaris 2009.06 | http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/] on this subject.
    Is it possible to do a Bios Update (acutally I have 1.50)

    Is there an ISO image or back - tools so I can create my own ISO image...

    Thank you
    GerryH

    Hello

    I doubt you'd be able to update the BIOS on the Opensolaris OS.

    The Toshiba page provides only focused on the victory of the BIOS, which means that you need to install windows to update the BIOS.

    The traditional BIOS version allowing you to update the BIOS by using the USB disk is not available for download.

    I think that only FSA (authorized service providers) availability to perform a BIOS update using the diskette.

  • Tecra 8000 BIOS update

    Help... my first visit on this forum looking for a kindly soul to out me of trouble. My wife has a Tecra 8000 (European version) with P2 400 mhz. To start, she "prepares for the BIOS update". I managed to find what seems to me to be good download on this site, the 'traditional' version for computers that do not run on 500 mhz or higher? Only problem is that I know this must be installed through FDD we have with the laptop, but we have no way to open the file on disk. Neither our computers from home or at work have a floppy drive to open and copy the downloaded file. We were wondering if anyone has a copy, or access to a floppy drive to produce a copy and send it to us? We would be more than happy incurred to help us.

  • Tecra M11 - BIOS update error

    Hi, initially, I'm sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Germany...
    My Tecra M11 motherboard has been replaced by Toshiba. After that, I can't update the BIOS
    I fill the SN of my M11 and downloadet the latest Version of the Toshiba homepage.

    But when I install the Package from the BIOS, there always was the same Message: "this computer is not supported.
    Is the person who can help me :)

    Lars cordially

    Hey,.

    What operating system you use and that you have installed the package of added value? Latter is necessary if you want to make a BIOS update.

    But theoretically the DMI information could miss after replacing the motherboard. It must be written from an authorized service provider

    But why you want to update the BIOS? You have problems?

  • Tecra M4 - BIOS update fails

    I'm updating my M4 with the Toshiba BIOS provided for support of Windows Vista. It can be found here: http://www.csdsupport.toshiba.com/tais/csd/support/windows_vista/vista_beta.cgi?lsAction=list_files&model_id=1

    However, the update process fails. I can unzip the file downloaded to a file, but then fails it to process with a generic-looking message "install2 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    My M4 is currently leading the BIOS version 1.70, 14/02/2006.

    Any ideas? Maybe is there a way I can do an update of the traditional BIOS with the new file?

    Be careful with the BIOS updates. I put t know where you bought your Tecra but you try to install the update BIOS, designed for the laptop models in the United States.

    If you have European mobile phone use just updates BIOS you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  • Tecra S5: Bios updated - cannot change page in the BIOS

    I have improved my Tecra S5 BIOS to version 2.0. But when I enter the BIOS, I can only change properties on the first page PGUP PGDN keys, for change of page does not work for me. Everyone knows the same behavior?

    There is a game of the bios supervisor password.
    Turn on the laptop with the INS key. Now you can enter the supervisor password, and you will get the full bios.
    You can change/clear the password and the policy settings using the password of Toshiba.

  • Tecra M5 Bios Update 1.7: where can I find information?

    Simple query: where can I find the details of what improvements / issues at this address from the bios update?

    Thank you very much

    Hello David

    Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you and say that you will not be able to find this document. But it is possible that this problem is solved with the new BIOS update. Be careful with BIOS updates and read the BIOS update description prior to treatment.

  • Tecra S10 BIOS update 1.70 - anyone know what is included?

    I hate the fact that all these years that Toshiba aflter still insists on not to provide a list of the changes on the new BIOS updates.
    It's boring.

    Unfortunately, there are details on changes to the BIOS.
    But I guess there are some performance enhancements
    However, if your laptop is running troubelfree I see no reason why it should update

  • Tecra M5 Bios update it's illegal

    Current bios version of my M5 is 1.20. I tried the update 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. Each update, says that it is an illegal update for this machine and it will not be installed. If someone had a similar problem and know a work around?

    Thanks in advance.

    HEY Joe,

    According to the Toshiba web site the last BIOS available for the Tecra M5 (model PTM50) is version 1.20, and for model PTM51, it is version 1.60. Both versions are dated dated September 15, 2006 are therefore quite new.

    It is unlikely that you will be able to use a BIOS from other sources, since he must be specific to the model of laptop you have.

    Moreover, the two versions of the BIOS are available in traditional formats and Windows.

    Kind regards

  • Tecra 8100 does not work after upgrading RAM

    Hello
    I bought a kingston KTT-SO815/256 pc100 144 pin, did a 2.50.on of my Tecra 8100 BIOS update
    It still does not.
    In my BIOS total ram is ok, so the computer knows that it is in the slot B, but when I try to boot the computer to a blue screen appears necessary a bios update. (Already done) APCI is not good.
    Someone has an idea?
    Now there is in the slot A - 64 MB
    Tried to put 256 MB in the B slot
    them, that nothing worked changed

    Hello

    Well, the blue screen error message usually appears because of the failure of the software matter or material. In case you I guess, apparently because of the new RAM.

    The fact is that you can upgrade the memory to the maximum. 512 MB.
    These modules are compatible:
    PC100 256 MB (PA3051U-1NME)
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

    I recommend that you check you modules and try to use another compatible.

  • Tecra 8100 - CPU max, DVD - ROM and BIOS update issues

    1. I have a 500 MHz processor on my 8100. I would like to upgrade to maximum capacity. I think it's 800 MHz since it is the highest, the series went to.
    But if it's 800 MHz, any Mobile PIII on this frequency do? Or should I check for special settings of the processor?

    2. I don't have a floppy, or ways to get drive one. And I'm not going to ebay one just for an update of the BIOS. Any ideas? A bootable CD with the files will do?

    3. What is the location of the DVD-ROM and what alternative models can I use? The 8200 went up to 8 x DVD - RW. Could I go further?

    Thank you. I hope that my post is OK like this instead of three different positions.

    1 take a look at the other Tecra 8100 models to determine which processors are compatible.

    2. I don't think that would work a bootable CD, you must follow a special procedure to update the BIOS and requires a floppy drive. If there is a version of Windows, you must use that instead.

    3 upgrade the DVD player can be difficult because you must use the correct master/slave settings, and it must have the same design of the façade of the original.

    Personally, I'm selling the laptop and buy a second hand faster one. It can work out to be cheaper.
