Tecra A8-185 - the update of the BIOS under Windows 7?

Hi again,

I have a question how update of the BIOS under Windows 7 ultimate x 64. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After having unpacked there is only the .exe file.

When I try to run this file, he said, that my OS is not supported. When I run it in compatibility mode (with Vista or XP), it starts the upgrade, but gives me an error: "the BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on this configuration. "What should I do? I really need a new BIOS.

Can I run it at the start of the USB key, or whatever?

Hi offi55

Why do you need a new BIOS? You may notice some problems with the laptop or why are you trying to update?

However, I think that the update should only be done on the pre-installed Windows version (XP or Vista). I guess that this update n t tested and designed to update Windows 7 so I think that would be the reason why you can t.

So to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

    Hello

    I have XP on C:\ and you want to install windows 7 on D:\ and my friend did the same thing without any problem.

    thnx.

    Hello

    Sounds like you don t know this BIOS, it's exactly the BIOS has nothing to do with the software or the operating system that you are installing.

  • Problem of access of the bios under windows 8

    Hello

    Since the update my pc windows 7 to 8, I have had problems with the BIOS I can access is no longer the bios by pressing f2 on my keyboard, I've been on people to sort for weeks to try to get this problem but I have anywhere below are a list of things I've tried
    1. communicate with my Packard bell manufacturing gave no progress if the question has been reassigned to tell me it was a software problem with windows
    2. I contacted a local technician who did not know what the problem was
    3. I contacted Microsoft answering service who told me that I should try to access BIOS through advanced, startup was missing why it worked several important things like
    The UEFI firmware settings and use a device (firmware settings is very important because it allows the pc to boot directly from the bios)
    4. I contacted Proton an independent company with experienced technicians, who suggested the same thing as Microsoft
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    As you do not access the BIOS from Windows at all, not sure how this is a Microsoft issue.  The BIOS is what starts after the POST or Power On Self Test.  Then the BIOS takes over and from there it resets the Windows MBR to start.

    Therefore, hit F2 before you see anything to do with Windows, while F2 is the key used to access the BIOS Setup.  As soon as you see something to do with Windows, it is far along the boot process and you must try again.
  • Can Equium P200 (PSB5E) - I update the BIOS on Windows 7?

    Hello.

    My question is: how to upgrade the BIOS under Windows 7? My Bios version is 1.70, I've seen, this version 2.50 is available for download, but only under Vista.

    Can it run Windows 7?

    Hello

    First question;
    Why do you update the BIOS?
    Is the reason for this?
    If the laptop runs successfully a BIOS update is not necessary!

    Now back to the issue of BIOS;
    Some laptops have special need BIOS for Win XP or Vista.
    So if you are using XP or Vista, then you must use the BIOS that was designed for one of these windows systems on the European driver Toshiba page you can see a column of OS that provides the info for what BIOS OS is designed.

    But in most cases, the BIOS is OS independent, which means that you can use it in any Windows operating system.

    Simply said; If the BIOS is available for Vista, then you can only use it with Vista.
    If it s independent OS, you can use it with Win 7, Vista or XP

  • Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

    Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:
    01/21/09
    Update the BIOS
    Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
    01/21/09
    Update the BIOS
    Toshiba OS independent 2, 00 - WIN World Wide

    In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
    My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

    My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

    Hello

    > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
    You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
    So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

    If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running

  • HP Probook s 4440: the update of the BIOS under Linux

    Hello

    My laptop (HP Probook 4440 s) is in the list of laptops with BIOS updates related to security issues [1].

    But I'm on Linux, for which no updates seems to be available [2], although there is an update of the BIOS available for Windows [3]?

    Could someone tell me how to get and apply this update via Linux...

    THX,

    I did recently on my HP ProBook 450 G2 Kubuntu Linux 15.10 running.

    A new version of the BIOS (01.16 Rev.A 1 December 2015) was available, but for Windows only.

    What I had to do to install the BIOS under Linux:

    * Download the exe file (for example: sp74048.exe): this is an archive

    * unpack with 7zip

    * go to my laptop configuration: restart, press [ESC] >

    Configuration of the BIOS F10 > MAIN > system update BIOS > BIOS update using local media

    * read the instructions:

    "Place the system on a FAT32 partition no BIOS BIN file more

    on the system or on a removable USB hard drive

    under the folder "Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\New.

    Then, add or verify that the HP Bios update utility (HpBiosUpdate.efi)

    and the signature file (HpBiosUpdate.s12) are

    on the same partition FAT32 under

    the path to the following folder: "Hewlett-Packard\BIOSUpdate. »

    * Take a flash drive, create the folder ""Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\ " "

    copy the whole folder "BIOSUpdate" since the original installation file for her

    create the "New" folder and copy the bin on it (in my case "M74_0116.bin")

    * If at the end, the flash drive looks like this:

    \---Hewlett-Packard

    + - BIOS

    | \---New

    |      Mxx_xxxx. bin

    |

    \---BIOSUpdate

    all files here

    * place the flash drive in the laptop and "BIOS update using local media" hit the button [I accept] below "the system BIOS will be updated immediately.'." "

    Then update the BIOS HP appears saying: the system BIOS is updated day. > writing new BIOS Image. > Veryfying new BIOS Image. > restart.

    Fact.

    It is really beyond me why HP does not provide a simple archive with the appropriate directory structure and a readme file so that anyone could update the BIOS regardless of operating system.

    Warning: I'm just an average Linux user. This procedure worked for me, but before use, you must consider the risks for yourself. You SHOULD know what you're doing.

  • Satellite A200-1DN - the update of the BIOS for Windows 7

    I am running 32-bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I had battery problems (plugged in, does not support) and I understand that I have to update my BIOS. However I can't find an update of the BIOS for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.

    Can anyone help? I should update with the BIOS in Vista? Are there other options to fix this battery? I already tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you
    Ian

    Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before you do, try this:

    Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off
    Remove the battery. Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
    Reinsert the battery and plug it into the power adapter

    > I tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

    also, have you had the same problem before installing Win 7?

  • Re: Tecra A9 cannot update to the latest version of the BIOS on Windows 7

    I am trying to upgrade the current bios (v1.60) to the later (v2.10), I downloaded P0054v210.exe but when I try to launch it I get the error ' BIOS update is not supported in the OS... "I tried compatibility mode XP but still no luck." I don't want to have to reinstall XP if possible.

    I've read elsewhere that install the value Pack might work, but it was already installed. I've now uninstalled the VAP and installed again with no error reported. Still unable to run P0054V210.exe.

    However, when I try to run the installation of HW in the folder utilities Toshiba in the start menu, I get "HCI load error!" followed by "SCI load error!" but it puts then a box of dialoge Setup with the 'General tab ' with details of the current version of the Bios. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice and still get the same problem.

    Is this a hardware problem?

  • Satellite A110-180 - update of the Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

    Hello

    I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop satellite A110-180
    * AHCI for SATA
    Disable the IDE

    But none of these options.
    So I thought that maybe I should update my bios.
    I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NO vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.

    Which one should I download, or is there another option to change the settings?

    Thank you!
    Bart

    Hello

    Satellite A110 does not support these options (SATA AHCI).
    The update of the BIOS will not help you!

    Linux is not supported and therefore, you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!

    The two BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
    Therefore, if you use other than Vista OS then you should throw the update of the independent BIOS to the BONE!

    But as mentioned above; both options will not appear after the BIOS update!

  • Satellite M60 is beginning not after the update of the BIOS through windows

    Hi all

    I was updating my bios on my M60 with the latest version of the bios and I was following the windows flashing procedure (the recommended) and it blue screened and dumped. Now, the laptop does not start, wont even post. Just a big dead brick :(

    I am pretty competent with material (I'm a software engineer), but I don't know how to reflash a laptop when this kind of thing happens. Is there a trigger bios reset on board? Can I do it myself? If I take this back to my dealer how likely they can reflash the bios in the House do? (Its a pretty major dealer of the Toronto area)

    What is a work system that I need the solution that has the smallest impact of time - cost isn't too important an issue.

    Any help would be great,

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Kristan

    According to the description of your problem, I guess that the BIOS chip is damaged and unfortunately you can not do much alone. Please contact the Toshiba service and explain the situation. They will explain everything you need to know and you can talk with them about costs and the time they need for the repair of laptops.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Z830 - update of the BIOS under Linux?

    Since the European driver page Toshiba simply provides a Win-based BIOS update version, you'll need an OS running in the window to update the BIOS-based victory. :(

  • Desktop HP HPE h9-1150 Phoenix: can you do a update the BIOS of Windows 8 while on a Windows 10 operating system?

    As indicated in the title, you can do a BIOS in Windows 8 update while on a Windows 10 operating system?

    I have a Phoenix desktop h9-1150 and am trying to install a new GPU GTX970. There is no updated BIOS for Windows 10 at this time, but there is an update of my current BIOS 7.07 for Windows 8 OS. Can I do that Windows 8 updated safely?

    Normally the flasher will check to verify the operating system, but I can't on this one.  It does not separate out ROM file, even if it does not check if the operating system you can always extract the file BIOS and flash BACK.  I would try it first in windows.  It will tell you if there is a control in place.

    Thank you

    Way General Toshiba does not support Linux and BIOS update can be done on Linux. All available BIOS updates are versions of Windows and can be updated with Windows operating system.

  • Satellite A200-193 - update of the BIOS under Linux

    Hi all

    I have a 3 years old Toshiba Satellite A200 - 193 (PSAEC), purchased in France, it's apparently not released in the United States - or not under the reference of thos - because I can't find it in the database of the Toshiba bios. (I could post in a french forum, but there is no such support :-/)

    The bios is a Phoenix, v1.30. This bios is known to have a bug inside, preventing the unofficial OS and not patched like linux to properly treat the acpi (control of the fan in particular). The temperature is higher than it should be.

    I tried to update my bios to 1.80 through the en of the toshiba site, but I and draw attention to say "this bios should only be used with Vista.
    OK, so it's purely disgraceful given the specific instructions of OS have NOTHING to do inside of a bios, what are my options?

    Has anyone installed this BIOS? He end up by properly?

    Thank you very much

    Hey Buddy,

    Please don t get me wrong, but Toshiba doesn't provide any support for Linux. This means that you search yourself for drivers or solutions and that s why the BIOS update is only Windows Vista supported.

    This means that if you want to do this update, you must install the operating system preinstalled Toshiba, I think that in this case Vista. Then, you are able to update the BIOS.
