• Satellite P840: How to create the secure boot with UEFI Bios recovery disk

  Hello

  I have laptop P840 that came pre-installed with Windows 8, which I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro.
  I then updated to Windows Pro 8.1 by Windows store. Please notify:

  1. how to create a DVD repair or start for windows 8.1 pro with UEFI Bios and boot secured.

  > 1. How to create a DVD repair or start for windows 8.1 pro with UEFI Bios and boot secured.
  To be able to boot from sources other than the drive HARD internal, the boot mode must be set to the CSM and secure boot must be disabled!

  > 2. I created a USB recovery using the control panel in Windows Pro 8.1. It starts OK. It will be the same as that I've created using the Toshiba Media recovery creator or will it drivers Windows Pro 8.1?

  Your laptop has been preloaded with Win 8. Right? For example, the USB flash stick memory you just use the Toshiba Recovery media creator contains the Image of Toshiba with Windows 8. Don t mix this Toshiba image with the image that can be created using Microsoft's own backup and restore function. Both are different pictures!

  > 3. Check it with disk management, then 3 (450MO, 350 MB and GB 10.90) recovery partitions, 1 EFI system partition and 2 partitions primary (C: programs) and D: for data. I created the recovery DVD and USB 2 disks. Can I remove the 3 recovery partitions?

  The last partition contains the files on HARD drive recovery. Usually this partition will be created again when you use the Toshiba Recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings. So in the case where you n t need this files or the partition, you can delete

• Since the update by Satellite L750 - Win7 for Win10 I lost access to the UEFI BIOS)

  Hello everyone

  Since my upgrade to Windows 10 32 bit Windows 7 32 bit, I am unable to access the BIOS (UEFI).

  I try to access BIOS because I want to do a clean install of Windows 10 64-bit, DVD, or USB key.

  I did the setting-> security update & -> Recovery-> Advanced Startup restart now-> then I clicked on troubleshooting-> Advanced Options-> and I can not find the UEFI (BIOS) settings.

  When I start my computer I lost the option "Press the F2 or F12 key" to access the BIOS.

  Thanks for your help.

  My computer: Satellite L750, PSK2YA-0L0802S

  OK if you are interested in the topic you can try with a facility for testing purposes, but if there are many different issues and problems, I think that you should install the recovery original image again and use your laptop with 'presets' again.

  You can enter the BIOS settings?

  In General, you can try to start the installation of USB if you press F12 on startup and choose USB as a boot device. It works for you?

• Veriton X4620G replace UEFI bios legacy, possible?

  Hi guys, I have the Veriton X4620G SFF with Windows 7 Pro 64 office so I wonder if I can change the UEFI bios legacy? Thanks in advance... John

• Support for UEFI BIOS

  I have an IQ826t which took the HARD disk crash.  So I bought a thought of HDD 3TO it is a fairly new computer with Windows 7 Professional and it would not be a problem.  Well, it seems that the system must support UEFI and I can't find the settings in the BIOS.

  If anyone knows if there is an update of the BIOS which allow UEFI?  Seems that HP does not update the BIOS for my wonderful system.

  Thank you

  Bill Cook

  Hey Bill,.

  The IQ826t delivered with Vista, so if you are running windows 7 it has been upgraded. The PC was actually launched early 2009 (January 2009) is actually slightly older. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a new type of interface BIOS, HP Starte their use in Consumer Desktops and TouchSmarts around spring 2010. Unfortunately, there is not a way to update a UEFI BIOS. The reason to, it's because of the way it deals with space, the old BIOS version can handle hard drives up to 2.2 TB.

  So unfortuately you won't be able to see all the 3 TB of this player.

  Sorry

• ThinkPad 13 - cannot enter the UEFI BIOS without entering the W10 first

  I have a brand new 13 Thinkpad which I'm really pleased.  However, the user manual seems to be wrong.  I can't enter the UEFI BIOS in F1.

  It seems that the only way to get into the BIOS is first go to W10 and make a shift/reboot or a restart/F1.

  OK, suppose that at some point in the future I need to access the BIOS (ex: changing boot options) and is not a job W10 or perhaps corruption W10.)

  How to enter BIOS without first W10? BIOS maybe consulted independent of the operating system?

  Hello and welcome,

  It is by design.  "Shutdown" in Win 10 more resembles the hibernation and it is not safe change hardware/BIOS setup in this State.

  F1/F12/ENTER should be available after a boot failure or a forced shutdown via a long press on the power button.

  BTW, UPDATE/restart and restart should just do the same thing. SHIFT button should cause a real stop after a followed Fx market should work.

• Switching mode inherited in UEFI BIOS after Windows 7 upgrade Win10

  I have an Inspiron 660. Last fall, I upgraded Win 7 to win 10/64.  I was watching the news system recently and I noticed that the BIOS was set to legacy.

  I see that UEFI is a step up from the BIOS.

  Is it safe to pass after the upgrade mode Legacy BIOS UEFI?

  If you have Win 7, it was probably installed as legacy (MBR).  The upgrade would have left it in this configuration.

  If you have a UEFI bios, you will need to do a clean install and select Install Media UEFI version.  Installation cannot convert the current drive TPG unless all the partitions have been deleted.

  So basically, if you don't want to remake your system, leave it in the configuration of legacy.

• Inspiron 3537: Recovery UEFI Bios Dell start

  Then, I got an i5 Inspiron 3537. Mobile friendly for its price. Download all the manuals, made my recovery DVDs. All was well in my world.

  First thing I noticed is that there is no info in the manuals for tweaking the BIOS and since this is my first experience with a UEFI bios, I was a little disappointed. Is there a manual for this?

  Then, I upgraded the ATI drivers to 13.12. I am an old user who has always known that the updates were generally a good thing to do. Got the same problem as many others with PC don't screen not wake from sleep.

  Thought I'd do a recovery from disk, but after trying various combinations (Ctl + F11, F8, F12 etc.) I couldn't find a way to start into the recovery console. I did my DVD recovery and the laptop works very well.

  Does anyone know how to add a boot on the recovery partition option in the UEFI bios? I undersstand I need to create a new boot option with "Add boot option" and the two options available are 1st start (windows EFI) or 2nd (recovery partition), but does not know the path to the efi recovery file to load (+ you can access the recovery partition to see the content of windows). Any suggestions?

  Still have not found a manual BIOS, but anyway. I found a combination of drivers for graphics work and allow the smoothly sleep function.

However, now I have a problem in installing UEFI BIOS and UEFI diagnostics. whenever I try to install it, a message that you do not have HP_Tool partition would like to install it? I hit the Yes button, but as I already have 4 discs on my new system fail to form. Thus, the operation failed.  so can you help me solve this problem?

• How to use the utility to update (uefi) BIOS HP

  Notebook: G62 a10em

  I downloaded the BIOS update tool from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063 & lc = on & cc = us & dlc = in & sw_lang = & product = 4226...

  and it is installed on my USB key.

  Now, how can I update my bios?

  The USB key contains now:

  BIOS

  | - Current (empty folder)

  | - New (empty folder)

  | - Previous (empty folder)

  BIOSUpdate

  -CryptRSA.efi

  -CryptRSA32.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate.s09

  -HpBiosUpdate.sig

  -HpBiosUpdate32.efi

  -HpBiosUpdate32.s09

  -HpBiosUpdate32.sig

  my current version of bios is f. 08

  I did a cut above.

  After looking at the appropriate file you downloaded, it says this:

  "Prerequisites .
  -Microsoft .NET 2.0 is required. UEFI and Custom Imaging - the HP BIOS update must be run from a FAT or FAT32, partition with a volume of the "HP_TOOLS" name This Installer gives you the option to install on the hard disk (HDD) or USB. If you install on the HARD disk and the HP_TOOLS partition is not present, Setup prompts to create the HP_TOOLS partition. If you install on a USB key, Setup renames the partition on the USB in HP_TOOLS. If you use a custom image, you can create the HP_TOOLS partition manually with the type FAT32 and that the volume HP_TOOLS name. ATTENTION:-the UEFI system partition is not protected and can be removed. -Backup of the computer by using the complete PC Backup feature of Microsoft Windows Vista does not save the UEFI system partition. For these reasons, HP recommends that you place no additional data on the UEFI system partition. Because the partition is not backed up, corruption or failure of the partition will result in the loss of all data on the partition, as well as the loss of UEFI functionality. "For more information, visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup"

  There is little documentation on how to use it, but a Member here figured it out.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/operating-systems-and-software/envy-14-system-recovery-doesn-t-work-with-latest-BIOS/m-p/328684/highlight/false#M45165

  using Windows 7:

  Just plug in the USB key and then run the SPnnnnn.exe BIOS file downloaded from the Web site drivers HP.

  Assuming that the USB is configured correctly (see below), Setup the BIOS sees the HP_TOOLS partition on the USB, copy of the BIOS and its file signature on the USB key, then run Setup winflash. The system BIOS detects the USB and the partition HP_TOOLS and the BIOS is magically updated.

  I put in place a new USB key as follows:

  1 rename the partition HP_TOOLS from the hard drive to something different like HP_TOOLSbak

  2. Plug the USB

  3. Download and run the utility to update the BIOS (not the BIOS, still) drivers HP support page.

  4. Select the option to install to a USB

  5. Select the option to create the partition HP_TOOLS

  6. The reader should now be formatted as HP_TOOLS with a record of Hewlett-Packard containing BIOS and BIOSUpdate records. The BIOS folder contains empty current, news and previous records.

  7 download and run the HP System Diagnostics (UEFI) MS drivers HP support page

  8. Select the option to install on a USB key. This will create a SystemDiags folder under the Hewlett-Packard folder

  9. Download and run the HP Notebook System BIOS update for the HP support page drivers, given that the USB is correctly tagged it will install the update of the bios on the USB drive

  10, we have to end up with a HP_TOOLS partition on the USB drive identical to the one that you removed from the hard drive.

  Once you have configured the USB drive, you can upgrade to other versions of BIOS (most recent or oldest) using this drive, as I mentioned above: just plug in the USB and then download and run the BIOS Setup program.

  Having said that I'm not sure of what you do, once you boot the USB drive.

• EliteDesk 800 G1: EliteDesk 800 G1 does not boot UEFI disks immediately after-> UEFI BIOS change

  I am changing our configuration of the BIOS boot in the UEFI. I tried to simplify the problem.

  I boot via PXE BIOS of SCCM task sequence and perform following actions:

  1. Apply UEFI Secure Boot configuration with BiosConfigUtility (enable Secure Boot, boot which is ignored anyway... order)
  2. Fixed disk partition type as TPG
  3. Create Fat32 partition to boot EFI and an NTFS volume for the data
  4. Apply WinPE to NTFS and copy the boot (bcdboot) in Fat32 files
  5. Set the volume to Fat32 as ESP
  6. Reset

  Now BIOS does not allow me to start this disc. Disk appears in 'Device Configuration', but not in the boot order.

  If I start again to PXE (now in mode UEFI) and check the contents of the disc, everything seems in order. If I reapply my script to repeat steps 4 and 5, and then the next time the disc will apper in the boot and boot order.

  If before the first attempt of UEFI, I put in a known UEFI boot disk, the system does not start it no more.

  I think that there is a bug in the BIOS.

  I saw something similar with Z620. When to apply some config past to the BIOS, the system is no longer shows startup valid drives in the boot order (this attempt was in BIOS mode). Emulation of the RAID controller is switched back to AHCI has worked around him then. But this time I'm not emulation of the controller.

  As BiosConfigUtility reports that it has fixed start changes but when reading them back (before or after the restart, they are the same). It's not as important, but

  BiosConfigUtility 4.0.15.1

  BIOS final v2.68

  My repro led nowhere (successful boot) but I was hired by HP support and all by responding to their email, I accidentally found the question.

  My BIOS setup script was a command to disable temporarily BitLocker if configuration is repeated his request for a system that is already deployed.

  manage-bde-protectors-disable c:

  However, this had inexplicably FAT32 partition become encrypted. If I started to UEFI PXE SCCM WinPE on the next boot, silently erased WinPE encryption and system would be on hard disk again, causing confusion.

  But when, for a test, I booted a Linux LiveCD, it showed encryption.

  I guess it's been like this for a while but only in this case C: was be the UEFI boot partition (usually it's system partition). In hindsight, my repro of WinPE image have also components BitLocker...

  I deleted command BitLocker and now it starts normally on hard drive after the configuration change. Detective Conan for time to engage the support of Microsoft and HP...
