  • Update the BIOS? for Windows 8 + Recovery CD/DVD

    I have 2 questions.

    1. when I ran the auditor of update of Windows 8 (from the upgrade to Windows 8 Email)

    He told me that the BIOS was not supported for some kind of safe mode and windows would not be

    start-up, according to the message.

    So, I can always install it? Since I've upgraded to the latest Bios 1 I think

    2 Will it be a HP disk, if I can create a set of recovery?  or do I just burn the ISO from MS Windows and separate drivers?

    Thank you

    Hello pka4916. I see that you have questions about upgrading to Windows 8. Here is the official information from HP about upgrades of Windows 8

    Secure boot is a new feature in the BIOS and Windows 8 is designed to take advantage of that. Basically, Secure Boot prevents you to install "prevent" (unsigned) hardware or operating system to the PC. This is designed to provide increased security against malicious software such as rootkits. If your PC does not support in its Secure Boot BIOS you will not have this protection. The operating system should always work. Note, however, that if your laptop doesn't have drivers available for all devices some features may not work (see the link above about HP and upgrade to Windows 8) but lack of Secure Boot should not ask you questions.

    I hope this has been helpful!

  • Updates to the BIOS/driver for Windows 7?

    I bought my desktop HP Pavilion Elite m9152p on computer a year ago and I had a few problems at the start.  I bought a retail upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and I did a clean install, but it was the same thing before on Vista Ultimate x 64.  Sometimes when I turn on my PC, it won't really do anything--sometimes I hear a beep POST, but there is nothing displayed on screen.  I turn my PC off, wait a minute or two and try to feed it upwards.  If it doesn't, I just repeat until it finally works.  Now my PC will hang on to the blue HP bios screen and just stay there.  The version of the bios on the screen is v5.25 and drivers of HP Support & shows a v5.36 available for download, but it will not install on my Windows 7 operating system.  I tried to run it in Windows Vista SP2 compatibility mode, but nothing helped.  I'm NOT GOING to restore my PC to Vista using my recovery disks, or with the help of my Vista Ultimate retail discs just to install a BIOS update day and then reformat/reinstall Windows 7 again.

    Is there a way to run the updates to the BIOS 'Vista' only and other drivers on my Windows 7 computer?  HP will release updated drivers Windows 7-compatible and updates soon

    While I don't guarantee it not works - Vidya had the right idea, but you need a little more information.

    Start running the softpaq, go beyond the opening screen with details, etc., then when it you ask to perform the update, stop (but do not close the screen).

    go to BACK - using the Administrator option

    type the following command

    CD folder

    find a folder with the AFUWIN. File EXE and CHDIR to the name of the temp folder

    ex: dir/s AFUWIN. EXE

    then

    CHDIR tempfoldername

    Then, perform the AFUWIN update with the information behind it:

    AFUWIN BEN5.32/b/p/c

    It should finish and then you can restart after you close the Softpaq.

    No guarantee that it will solve your problem-, but which should enable the BIOS update to run.

    I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

    Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

  • "Stop 0x000000A5 the BIOS of the system is not fully ACPI-compatible every time as the installation of a new windows 7 integral over Inspiron 15R N5110.

    Hello

    I have installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on many brands of laptops, but when I installed it on Inspiron 15R N5110, (core i5 and 4GBRAM). I faced an error at startup of windows 7 after completing the installation.
    NOTE: When the installation finished and restarted my computer, this window shown to me.

    Two options from the two options above I chose, I found myself with the blue screen:

    Error blue screen said something these ' BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Contact your system provider for an updated BIOS I don't know what that means and I don't know where is the culprit. I wish I could capture this error screen. However, it is impossible to do because I wasn't the Windows environment. 

    Even if the error related to BIOS necessary for the update, so how could I update as long as windows has not begun.




    Is there something that needs to be configured in the BIOS before installing Windows 7 on Dell laptops.
    I'm quite surprised that the previous system was windows 7, but it was Home Premium.

    The strangest thing is when I tried to start to repair the disk and even disk instillation of Windows to resolve startup problems, I found that this startup repair couldn't fix problems.

    When I tried to do these steps:

    1. Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer from the CD.

      Note Some computers may require you change basic input/output system (BIOS) settings before you can start the computer from a CD-ROM. For more information about changing the BIOS, see your computer documentation.
    2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    3. If your computer is configured to dual-boot or multiple boot, select the appropriate installation of Windows XP.
    4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password and press ENTER.
      Note By default, the administrator password is blank in Windows XP Home Edition.
    5. By default, Hiberfil.sys is usually located in the directory root (C:\). At the command prompt, type del hiberfil.sys and then press ENTER.
    6. Restart the computer.
    When I arrived at "system recovery options, I saw that my system is listed, then I chose then, but I found myself with this ' this"system recovery options"version is not compatible with the version of windows that you are trying to fix." Try to use a different compatible with this version of windows recovery disk, even if I'm sure only that the same disk to install windows I have installed since.

    NOTE: I do not add RAM or other devices. There is a windows 7 Home premium and I just re installed a windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I don't really know what the previous windows version 7 is 32 or 64 bit.
    I checked the dell forum and I found ' your computer goto your BIOS F2

    That goto advance Select ATA to instead of AHCPI save the setting, and then try to restart your Windows 7

    But he did not AHCPI, but I found AHCI and let ATA instead of AHCI, but no difference that happened.

    Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • Update the BIOS of powerage dell 2950 through an ESXi installation

    I'm not sure of the best way to update the bios of a Dell 2950 powerage on which I have a facilities of ESXi 3.5 u2.

    I have two virtual machines running.

    Dell has a "Update Package for Microsoft® Windows®" (PE2900_BIOS_WIN_2.1.0.EXE) which, in my opinion, can update the bios from a windows OS.

    I had to do some research, but I posted instructions on how to upgrade your Dell server running ESXi through records of SUU. Here are the instructions... I do before putting all servers in production, and after the shooting of any old material off the rack before stopping their production, never had a problem.

    Here's my process to update ESXi (dell of course hardware) servers.

    1 Download DVD Dell Software Update Utilitly, its 1.9 GB disc. (if you have a dvd player on your server, you can directly boot from this drive but if you had a CD player in your continuous server, or if you want to store the files of rep on a USB drive below eye).

    2. extract the contents of the iso (winrar), so a lot of my servers arrived with

    just for the readers of CD so I take a USB stick and loading JUST the 'repository '.

    folder from the disk update utility, which is about 1.2 GB of update

    files.

    3. then download the CD version of Dell Software Update Utility, it

    will have all the updates for the DVD and dell does not have up-to-date

    but that's fine, boot from that disk.

    4 start the CD, to the start screen select Update utility, wait 15-20

    "mins for linux to load, display, select Update ' updates are

    Located on a usb drive ", put your USB key with the storage folder"

    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.

    Hello

    The driver from Toshiba site doesn't provide the traditional BIOS but only the BIOS that can be updated only running Windows OS!

    This means that you will not be able to boot from the floppy drive using the unzipped BIOS file.
    It s .exe file and should be conducted under OS.

    I think it should be clear now.

    By the way; the update of the BIOS is risky and if you use bad BIOS or bad update procedure can damage the ROM. module

  • Satellite P205D-4378 crashed so that the BIOS update

    Hello everyone,

    It is my first post on the forum, although I've read here a lot.

    My problem seems to be classic: had several problems with my Satellite P205D-4378 crash.
    Visited the Web from Toshiba site, they have a BIOS update that fixes the problems that I have. I do the update, CRAAAASH!, dead computer.

    Death seriously.

    Turn on the other computer, search, find a few websites on "crisis recovery disk Phoenix.

    I read religiously, run to the store, buy a FDD, some readers, usb, the Bios file download, rename, make the drive...

    Trembling with anxiety, I press FN + b, switch on the machine, and it works!

    Well well... at least the works of the Zombie fashion: pink LED, high speed fans, manages the USB FDD, begins the USB FDD, he read for a good two minutes! Then nothing.

    'It's ok, it'll be ok' I think. The starting block is a program that is not more than 4 k, the computer has no bios, impossible to use anything, and must digest a 1000 k bios.

    I wait, nothing happens.

    SO what now? I tried the 'start FDD' ten times at least. Last try, I waited all night! I Went sleep after the computer read the floppy).

    Whatever I do, once the disk has been read, nothing happens.

    I turn it off, I unplug it, I try with battery, no battery, I speak well, I insult, I pray, I cry, I swear... NOTHING WORKS!

    I do something wrong, somewhere.

    On my drive are the phlash16.exe, the minidos.sys and the bios.wph (extract from a file named AASA40. ROM, downloaded with the pack zip on the toshiba site)

    What should I do? I read it on some forums that computer makers like Dell and Compaq deliberately disable the Boot Block Flash, is the same thing with Toshiba?

    The latest version of the bios that I have downloaded is corrupted?

    Is it possible that my motherboard is physically by the update failed? In this case, is it easy to replace yourself?

    I don't want to be ripped off by Toshiba for repair, if the only thing that I miss so far is a combination of keys at the end of the flash Boot Block recovery...

    In short, I'm lost.

    No idea to this wonderful group of reflection?

    Thank you

    Baaharb.

    I think that the update of the BIOS based on windows is security more like an update of the traditional Bios.
    Why? Because using the traditional BIOS there is always a risk that the wrong BIOS would be used.
    The BIOS using focused on victory, this risk does not exist.

    I know a lot of people who uses a bad BIOS and damaged module BIOS ROM.

    Anyway. To show you, I think that there is one solution as mentioned by delvoie, you will have to contact the local ASP.

    See you soon

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX and recently I was updating my drivers and software from the HP Web site for my laptop. Everything was done smoothly. As I updated my BIOS, I noticed that I was not able to switch between ATI Radeon 5650 and Intel HD Graphics, then I was also shocked that he wasn't showing a charger plugged into icon too. Although the battery was charging but didn't show any icon for it. I am running Windows 7. After a few days, my battery was went wrong and was not in charge. I bought the new battery from HP Store for my laptop, and then after a few days now he is dying too. My computer laptop suddenly stops on about 30% of battery remaining and battery does not charge. I arranged another charger and plugged, but once more. I gave the laptop to the service center local and got NO from them as well. They couldn't find the problem. After a lot of research and reading messages HP, I finally understood that it was the problem with the BIOS Update and Windows 7. So, out of curiosity, I installed Linux RedHat 6 on windows 7 and everything was OK. But I am a graphic designer for Linux is not a good choice for me. I want to just restore my BIOS in its original version of the default BIOS. Please kindly help me to get my original BIOS. I tried everything on my hand. I also ask HP to the original versions of the drivers like BIOS on its Internet site. My laptop is dying. Please, Experts, I need your kind assisstence. Thanks in advance

    If you updated the BIOS from the old version will still be in a folder of your operating system. Use the method I proposed to get it back.

  • 15 - r018dx: is the PID of Win 8.1 in the BIOS

    I am repairing a laptop of neighbors who have experienced a fatal disk crash (it's toast).  Installed a new drive HARD but have no recovery media.  I see various places in market there are recovery kits 8.1 cheaper than at HP, but without a PID.  I need confirmation that HP incorporates the OEM PID in the BIOS, which will allow to install after market recovery kits.  Is this correct?  TMB1

    Yes, HP incorporates the OEM PID for Windows 8.1 in the BIOS. This Windows PID is 8.1 of Windows OEM specific and may not work with third-party recovery media unless it is an exact copy of the HP recovery for this exact model of HP media. There is no guarantee that any recovery of spare parts kit does not work correctly. I suggest the purchase of HP's HP recovery media factory. Please see DVD - 8.1 64 bit of Windows Recovery Kit / Kit for portable consumer (4 discs) system recovery for the purchase of this media.

  • Access to the floppy drive crashes Windows with code: 0X000000F7

    After you have installed the Windows XP updates a week ago (10/22/09 - while others seem to have gotten 0x000000E7 BSOD), my computer hangs when you try to use the floppy drive.  Neighbor has same problem.  However, another neighbour, who did not install the updates since 1 September doesn't have this problem.  We use Windows XP.  I even created a file on the diskette using the player of the 'good' of the neighbor and tried in my computer and the neighbour - always crushed the two machines.  Saw post to that topic or similar problem the other day, but he lost it when I hit the wrong button and cannot find him. Help!

    He is now 10/29 (5:20 pm EDT), and after three days of trying to solve this problem, I'm really frustrated.  Carefully removed eight updates installed since 14/10/2009. I removed them one at a time in reverse order, they were installed (LIFO) and I tried using the floppy after each removal drive, but still get BSOD. My BIOS/CMOS watch floppy drive and my device manager says its working. I even deleted the physically and in the BIOS, floppy drive deleted the contoller of floppy and drivers floppy drive in Device Manager. restarted and other devices working properly.  Reinstalled drive, reset the BIOS, restarted and Windows loaded automatically (as checked in the Device Manager) drivers - always get BSOD when trying to read the disk.

    I would have completely uninstalled CA, except that this user really liked the CA email spam filtering. So, I disabled the antivirus and antispyware of all parties and uninstalled the CA Personal Firewall, and here, the floppy drive has started working. I then installed the new Microsoft Security Essentials to prvide a / v sp and psyware protection.
