• EFI and UEFI

  Apple uses EFI and UEFI it days and how to find the version?

  Hey there Mark,.

  Looks like you want to know how to check your EFI version, and Yes our computers that use EFI pursuant to this section:

  On the updates of the EFI and SMC firmware for Mac computers with Intel processor

  You should be able to check this version number using the information system:

  How to check your firmware version

  Follow these steps to check the ROM to boot your Mac EFI and SMC firmware versions.

  1. Open Information System.
  2. Select the hardware section to display the model identifier, version of boot ROM and s-m-c version numbers.
     

  If the firmware version that see you in system information is newer than what is indicated for your Mac, you do not need to apply updates listed for this model. If you try to use a manual update that is not designed for your Mac, or is not necessary, Setup alerts you and the software is not installed.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, all the best!

• 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.

• Satellite Pro R50-B-12N OCZ Vertex 460 has UEFI Install

  Hello world

  I'm having a great problem with tent to install an SSD in one of our Toshiba laptops and allowing the UEFI. Here is a brief summary of the components involved:

  OCZ Vertex 460 has SSD installed to replace the mechanical HARD drive. -SSD Firmware is up to date
  Toshiba Satellite Pro Portable R50-B-12N - BIOS version is 1.40, CBS version is 1.20
  Windows 7 Enterprise X 64 install
  MDT 2013 1 update to deploy to
  Starting to install Windows 7 with Lite Touch PXE deployment
  Secure boot is disabled
  UEFI enabled

  When I try to install a Windows 7 image, the original MDT deployment process works correctly with no error message. The disc seems to be partitioned correctly for an EFI boot disk, and extracted the install.wim file on the windows partition. Unattend.Xml apply and restart the laptop.

  Each reboot the laptop, however, an error message appears asking to install a system disk and press a key to continue. I don't know this error happening if a startup disk is not detected or the hard disk fails.

  Interestingly, if I disable UEFI and start again the deployment process, this problem does not occur. The laptop restarts and continues the installation without problem when running in MSC mode.

  Can someone answer the following for me queries please?

  (1) if I run in MSC mode, I feel that UEFI is say-abled, so I don't get any of the benefits of the use of instead of the UEFI BIOS. Is this correct?

  (2) Windows 7 is able to UEFI boot as long as Secure Boot is disabled. As it is a SATA drive, there is no drivers needed for this HARD drive to work (according to he site OCZ)-I do not think it is a driver error, as the operating system does not load.

  (3) If you need more details regarding this flaw could list you for me to recover? I have to clean and reinstall the laptop each time in order for me to do now.

  I'd appreciate any help with the above error. Currently, I think it's a fault with the application of portable computers UEFI boot but I would like a third opinion on this if possible?

  Thank you for your time and help with this query.

  Kind regards

• HP Elite x 2 1011 G1 L5G47EA: HP Elite x 2 1011 G1 UEFI and virtualization

  Hi *.

  I have situation as follows. More then a week ago I had my HP Elite x 2 1011 G1 tablet with a keyboard of HP and Windows Pro 8.1 power on board.  I like more a Windows 10 Pro so I purchased a single license and installed.

  Looks like I had to fast and I forgot to create a copy of recovery of Windows Pro 8.1. Later I discovered that although I have a W8.1 USB recovery partition EFI of W10 upgrades so that the W8.1 copy is not accepted in the future. However for me it is not a main issue.

  One of the main reasons why I bought this set is Intel® Core™ processor M-5Y51, which supports Intel® (VT - x and VT - d) virtualization technology. I need it for my study, work and research. However, there is a problem. I need to activate it in the UEFI/BIOS. When I press ESC and F10 later, I need to sign in with the Windows credentials. It worked like a charm with no problems. Finally, I go to the Advanced tab in the top menu. I see options, but they are gray and I can't select required options.

  Why? How it is possible to solve? Thank you.

  The problem is that I did not mode Boot under advanced system configuration option; the only thing I can do is enable or disable secure under the Security tab, startup mode which isn't enough

  I also added a supervisor password. It adds a clear keys for secure boot option, but still nothing on the Advanced tab to move to the Csm.
  Clearing keys does not work too.

  Edit: will put some pictures of the uefi

  You posted the screenshots of the configuration of Toshiba utility.
  The boot mode must be changed in the BIOS settings.

  To access the BIOS of the laptop must be turned off.
  Then put the unit BUTTON and press F2 to enter the BIOS.

  In the BIOS, you will find the necessary options: secure boot must be disabled and the UEFI mode must be changed to MSC mode

• Satellite M50D - A - 10 L - installation of Windows 7 UEFI

  I m trying to install Windows 7 on TOSHIBA Satellite M50D - A - 10 L with UEFI boot.

  First time I used facility with CSM Boot EFI and it worked fine.

  But after I tried to spend in UEFI and make the installation of UEFI, whenever it starts loading setup files and after freez windows on "Starting Windows" screen.

  I have two pieces of these ultrabooks and they do the same thing.

  I used Flash disk, USB CD-ROM, two different versions of windows 7, but it have same endpoint...

  Secure boot is disabled

  I've got a Satellite M50 - A model (its similar to the M50D-A, but it was equipped with instead of ATI GPU nVidia GPU) and able to install the Windows 7 change the start mode MSC mode.

  Generally the UEFI boot mode can only be used for the system support UEFI as Win 8 or 8.1 win and some Linux distributions.
  Win 7 isn't taking system support UEFI.

  However, there are various workarounds to install Win 7 64 bit (not 32-bit) in the UEFI using the partitionstable GUID (GPT). Win 7 64 bit only contains the UEFI boot loader.

  But, very important is that UEFI installation isn t available (by default) is booting from USB due to lack of uefi boot loader! In case you use the key of USB for installation, you must add the UEFI (search in google for details) Start menu.

  Finally and above all depends on BIOS support in the case where the BIOS would only mode Setup CSM; all of these solutions workaround would be unnecessary.

  Hello
  Can you tell us what your problem is? I have seen a lot of technical stuff, but do not clearly understand your problem.
  If you are having problems to start Ubuntu in an Efi / UEFI environment I suggest you try copying the file to start the live-media / installation in your startup folder media.
  Please note that the suggestion is not detailed must apply little reason.

• Satellite A500 boot UEFI/legacy option - request for update of the BIOS-

  I am the proud owner of a Satellite A500 PSAR9A - 02S 001
  I was very happy with it over the years.

  However, when you try to dual boot, I use in all sorts of problems.

  I really need uefi/legacy startup options to be unlocked in the bios menu
  I think that this feature is present
  However there is no options to configure in bios, please release an update for this.

  Please, I beg you.

  It would help me a lot.
  Not too much talk of what all the other hidden settings in the bios u could also unlock.
  I'd appreciate any help in this

  Post edited by: Bigwheels

  As far as I know, Toshiba offers a few changes of BIOS options and is not also a part of the BIOS updates.

  What kind of problems you have with dual boot?
  What is preinstalled on your computer? Post please some info on exact OS install.

• HP envy m6-n012dx: UEFI mode change in Legacy mode

  Hey I want to change my boot option to the legacy of the uefi mode mode. can someone help me.

  Hello

  If your HARD drive has of a table partition guid, the current operating system must be installed in mode "uefi" - the only way around this would be to reformat the hard disk with MBR and reinstall the OS using a startup (CD-ROM or USB key) option that does not have a suffix (uefi).

• Installing Win7 on Satellite C50-A-1john - lack of options of UEFI

  Hey all, this is my first post, but have been an active reader for a while, ive looked for this problem on the forum, but have not found someone in my prediciment?

  week 2 old C50 was pulled off the table by the dog so I lost the screen but the HARD drive was allowed as its been enslaved until my mac while the screen was fixed so I could continue to work.

  When I came back, I have no device start-up etc... reading here once again an update of the bios will sort it so I thought Ill go back to the good old windows 7.

  I want 7, back so I understand from reading here on all secure boot disable, Uefi stuff blah blah but my machine has system BIOS CBS version 1.00 1.10 so these options are not available

  I also announced that the hard drive is now formatted to use my other computer toshiba laptop.

  Now the part of Catch 22!

  I want to update bios to 1.30, as says the toshiba site that will give me the uefi options so I can load win 7 but its engine to be updated only through windows and as above I now have an empty formatted drive and not be able to boot from a drive USB or CD because of MI of 1.10 bios a bit confused to how I can update the bios without windows and with the old bios does not allow me access to USB or CD?

  any ideas?

  I have the ability to slave the drive on my mac or another computer toshiba laptop, so heads tech here I should (although long route) somehow the picture any thing on the disc whatsoever victory 8 "Yuck" as it has been bundled with and then update the bios, blat in car and then load win7? long-term, but might work? but once again with the no boot warning device that I can't see myself doing anything other than approaching the bin with the laptop

  Help: D and thanks for reading.

  > How do I update the bios without windows and with the old bios does not allow me access to USB or CD?
  It is not possible.

  You need system Windows installed for updating the BIOS.
  If you have not created the recovery discs (or a USB support) in the past, you can order the disk recovery (containing Win 8.1) on this page:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Then you could recover the factory back to laptop (Win 8.1) settings and could update the BIOS.

  _By the way: _ did you try to change the Startup Mode without updating the BIOS?
  Disable secur boot in the Bios, saving the changes. Then boot into the BIOS again and now you can check if the CSM mode would appear as an available option.

• Re: Satellite C850 and UEFI BIOS settings

  I have laptop Satellite C850 - 1 2 with Windows 8.1

  When I boot, it shows a toshiba logo, not the original flag 8 Windows. It is not so much a problem, but I can't change because the parameter is blocked within the parameters of the UEFI. How can I change this?

  I already tried to change through the windows in different ways, but each time it will change the UEFI!

  Help?

  To be honest I don't know what to do, you mean with blocked settings, but it can be changed in the BIOS settings.
  What you need is to make complete OS stop http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm and after having done that, you can restart the laptop and enter the BIOS (try F12) settings and then you can change all the settings of the BIOS.
