• Image of system restore fails due to the EFI/BIOS?

  Ok.. I have posted before on relief Win8 drive does not, yes it still does, but I used the disc of Win8 and allowed me to enter the repair section and access the system image restoration tools.

  At this point, I thought that a lot, it works, but not... I get this error:
  Windows cannot restore a system image on a computer that has different firmware. The system image was created on an EFI computer and this computer is using the BIOS.
  I don't understand what is happening, because it's THE SAME COMPUTER!
  I created the image on this computer and I try to restore the image on THE SAME COMPUTER that created the image, but it says I can't.
  What is happening with Windows 8?  Nothing is easy with it, Win7 was so much nicer with the repair and restoration. I want to just restore the computer, why is it so hard to do?

• Spectrum of HP: Cannot install the latest Bios Update

  ========

  Some notes - as mentioned in the article itself - updated only if you really must. Personally, I don't recommend do you it unless you're having problems with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

  General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but could introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

  It goes the same for Windows updates, OS update, drivers, etc - update/update updates IF you have any questions, you know are fixed in the new version or for some serious security problems. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

  I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you have difficulties

• Satellite A55-S1065 - after removing the battery, BIOS ask me password

  So, something happened yesterday, and it seems to me that it is very strange.
  I have a portable Satellite A55-S1065. And while I was with power point, the
  computer crashes. In the midst of my confusion, I decided to delete
  the battery just to make him stop.

  So I did it and plugged it again
  and I tried to turn on the computer. Now, the bios ask me a password,
  but I've no idea what password it is that. Can someone help me solve this problem?
  IM really desperate to find a solution to this since this computer contain
  many of my works.

  Thank you very much.

  > After removing the battery, BIOS ask me password
  I know it may seem silly now, but I never heard of something like that. I use laptop for a long time and I had the experience with many others and strange question, but something like that, never.

  Problem is that we are dealing here in the public forum and BIOS password is a very sensitive area and very important security feature, so we can not write here about some illegal ways how you can remove the BIOS password.

  If there is no way to start your laptop, I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
  I'm sorry. :(

• Satellite L350-277 - update the new BIOS and Wifi pilot

  TEMPRO gave me 2 new drivers, but received instructions.

  BIOS setting has been an operation involving the driver of the copy on a disk and then to change to start with disk boot order.
  However, I think that the new BIOS drivers are installed with running Windows - like a normal program. Does anyone know for sure?

  I guess the wifi pilot is a normal installation, with the wifi on or off?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  Is an update of the driver WLan and BIOS update needed?
  I mean; you have problems with your laptop where these updates would be necessary?

  You should not update if everything is OK. in most cases the Tempro informs you about the drivers and tools that are uploaded on the page of the driver, but it is not a recommendation for an update, you know what I mean?

  I'm always this trick; never change a running system.

• Satellite A50 543 - what is the correct BIOS?

  Hello

  My friend has a portable Satellite and the internal CD drive is broken and its Windows had a virus and was showing strange behavior I want to install XP to clean. Does not support BIOS current ver 1.2 boot from USB CD-ROM drives. In the support section, I found a worm 1.4 BIOS that says in the description "adds this Bios Update expands the functionality of your system.", not very useful.

  The bios file is called bios - 20070808112012.zip for model Satellite: A50, model runs no.:PSA50E.

  I know this is probably a redundant question, but just to be sure I can be sure it's the correct BIOS that I am not too familiar with Toshiba naming scheme.

  see you soon
  damole

  Hey damole,.

  If you don't find this BIOS on Toshiba website for your model laptop is the correct version. I mean why Toshiba has release a bad BIOS doesn t work?

  But I searched a bit using Google and I think that it of not possible to boot from USB also with the new version of the BIOS. This is possible on the new laptops and Satellite A50 is old enough, so I think that in this case, you need to replace the CD/DVD drive. Maybe you can get a second hand one from eBay that is cheap.

  But if you install XP from a Microsoft disc, a CD/DVD drive isn't necessary. Copy the folder integer i386 to the HARD disk and start the WINNT.exe file.

• Install the EFI on new SSD partition when doing 10 costs of Windows Installer

  I have a similar problem to this topic. Windows was originally (and still is) installed on my HARD drive and I just installed my SSD recently. When I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my new SSD it has not installed the EFI partition.

  Is there a way to create a new partition on the SSD EFI (of course I have to do another new facility) or do I have to physically unplug my HARD drive before you begin?

  my personal rule, I always disconnect a disk with a partition bootable OS, just to reduce the troubles and do not mix the boot managers (I prefer to select the BIOS boot device)

• Different the InsydeH20 BIOS.

  SIRS, I have a HP-15g080nr, I install a 120 GB SSD, but couldn't find any SATA Configuration in the InsydeH20 BIOS (on the way IDE to AHCI). Now, I find that to install a new Hard Drive (SSD), it comes to dismantalling the half of the machine. One of my questions is in fact how is it to do? Or should I just delete my current hard drive (which I need for education) and install a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit OEM. And I think the boot priority is just an internal CD/DVD peripheral rearanging matter in UEFI and Legacy Boot arrested in InsydeH20 BIOS utility. Thank you gentlemen, any info or advice would be great.

  Gentlemen: I met a small problem installing Win7 OEM disc. I want to install on this disk screen "" and all I get is a "unallocated disk" and a Message that say, it cannot install on this hard drive. I tried "Load driver" the problem is that I can't seem to understand what Chipset driver (64-bit) to install (i.e.  WR74, WR64). Could you give me a number of what Chipset driver to use. I tried a few, but all I get is a caution symbol read: window will not be installed on this drive. Thank you for the help with this question...

  I understand that you believe that you have installed an incorrect BIOS update on HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510y desktop PC. I checked and the two BIOS updates you link to are for your computer, the only difference is the version the update of the BIOS of motherboard ΜATX-RS880-H is Version 6.11 Rev has what is more recent, then the N-Alvorix-RS880 card motherboard BIOS update which is Version 6.07 Rev A. You cannot install the second update is because the you have a more recent version.

  I wouldn't worry have the incorrect BIOS up-to-date is one you have for the computer. As you can see on the page the two updates BIOS Drivers of HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510y desktop PC are listed for your computer.

• BIOS update - save the current BIOS first?

  I'm of the Canada. Don't know why he brought me to the American site to ask questions... fail.

  But anyawys, I have a SONY VAIO laptop, which currently has some bugs (shading on the random display).

  My VAIO Update program warned me that there was an update of the BIOS available that could solve the problem.

  Instructions on how to update the BIOS were pretty * straight forward, and did not mention the current BIOS must be saved in case of installation errors. However, when I Google searched, many websites have mentioned that it is very important to backup the current BIOS and needs to be done (which I don't know how to do). Now I'm confused because the SONY Web site mentioned at all that I have to save anything. I also wonder if the other stuff on my computer should be backed up before upgrading? Like photos, documents, etc.? I have not immediately an external hard drive. If anyone can help me with this, it would be great. Thank you.

  punxie89,

  I'm sorry but there is no software that can create a current backup of the BIOS on our Web site.  Because you are dealing with the BIOS, it is strongly recommended that you back up your data in case where... If you do not have an external hard drive, use a USB flash drive or save it to disk...

• The destination does not support the EFI firmware.

  Hello

  I have a Debian Linux 7.0 physics I'm P2V using converter 5.5.3.  When I choose my target ESXi server, I like:

  The destination does not support the EFI firmware.

  How confirm/deny, or enable the EFI on my node ESXi support?

  Hello

  This may be a false signal. The problem is that Debian is not a taken GOS supported for the converter. That's why he treats her like "Other Linux" and then the ESXi responds that it does not support the "other Linux" on EFI.

  Unfortunately I see no significant workaround solution. There is a crazy idea - converter checks if the source computer's BIOS or EFI by searching the directory/sys/firmware/efi/vars. If you can somehow it wrong that there is no (I don't know how), it might treat the source such as BIOS and convert it. When this happens, you should then change the VM of destination to EFI firmware and manually create the EFI boot entry somehow.

• Can't boot CD in the EFI firmware?

  version 7.1.0 VMware fusion.

  1. [1] delete all readers of virtual disk of the virtual machine to avoid any unnecessary confusion.
  2. [2] fix iso arch in cd player.  Start == > success.
  3. [3] Add firmware = "efi" to the file .vmx.
  4. [4] reboot == > failure (happens with virtual CD IDE or SATA)

  (starting from the arch installation CD [once] is necessary to install the EFI boot on [VHD].  Arch won't modprobe efivars during bios startup rather than efi - GPT.)

  help appreciated.

  Hi iawelch,

  Try changing the type of OS asked for a 64-bit flavor.  Several operating with the support of the EFI systems are only including a 64-bit EFI bootloader, not 32-bit.

  I have not tried the front Arch Center EFI support, so let us know if that gets it going for you!

  See you soon,.

• How can I create a simple VM using the EFI firmware?

  I created a VM with OS 'Another 64 - bit' and edited the .vmx file, change only the "bios" = firmware firmware = "efi".

  Whenever I start the virtual machine, it uses the BIOS instead of the EFI. I can see when to start directly to the firmware, or by starting with a 8.1 Windows Installer disk and installing Windows checking connects immediately after that it started ("" detected boot environment: legacy ' ").

  How create/configure a virtual machine to use systematically the EFI, without her 'crush' or 'back' to my configuration?

  I use VMware Fusion 7.1.0 (2314774).

  Hi michielvoo

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  I wrote an article on the use of EFI in a machine virtual here: Boot via the EFI firmware | PlanetVM

  Basically, what you're doing are correct. The part, I wonder about is if the double quote characters you use double quotes a normal and not the "fantasies" (as you can see in the above article, these are those fancy)

  It takes standard double quotes on your keyboard.

  Another possible reason to make it work is not is if you edit the vmx while your merger still works as he could return your changes to protect the virtual machine.

  If you don't know everything that's wrong with your vmx file, then send the vmware.log file is also in this folder to an answer here and I or someone else will take a look and see if everything's okay what is wrong.
