Update BIOS for Satellite M205-S4806 for install XP

Hello

I have a laptop M205-S4806 Satellite with Win Vista & BIOS 2.10.
I wanted to format the drive and install Win XP. However, the BIOS does not detect HARD drive when you insert a CD Win XP.

I need to upgrade the version of the BIOS? If so, could you please send me the download link that I couldn't find a good match for laptop Sat M205.

In addition, anyone know if XP is compatible with the model above.

Appreciate your help.

Thank you
Renu

The fact is that you have a model of cell phone US and everything you need you can find in http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp

There you can select your model laptop and see what Toshiba offers. You'll find BIOS update 1.8 with support for Windows XP Home edition. Updating the BIOS will not help solve this problem with disk HARD invisible but you need this update of the BIOS for the full support of Windows XP Home edition feature.

For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. Click on the link posted by the previous user.
Just one last thing: for WXP installation using Windows XP Home with SP2 integrated.

Good luck!

    Hello!

    Yes, it's the good BIOS because it s also for your model (Satellite 2450-101).

    A BIOS update is an upgrade of RAM is not necessary. The BIOS has nothing to do with the maximum RAM capacity.
    Satellite 2450-101 supports up to 1 GB, type PC2100 DDR - RAM.

  • Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
    I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

    But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
    It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

    But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

  • Re: Satellite L505 - 13 X - update BIOS for Linux

    Hello

    I see that there is an update of the BIOS for my Satellite L505-13 X. However, it is a .exe and he would go on the wine? Is it necessary to update? I have a serious overheating problem. #

    An update would I read on some forums?

    Hi pieredel,

    Probably this update will run on wine, but all BIOS updates are tested only on Windows because Toshiba doesn't support Linux. In my opinion it s too risky to do on wine and, therefore, you must install Windows.

    In general the BIOS updates are unnecessary if everything is ok, because this update is a bit risky. So, don t do this update just for fun.

    Do you have the same problems of overheating in Windows? If not it s a question of bases Linux and the BIOS will not help you

  • Updated BIOS for Satellite Pro U200?

    Hello

    does anyone have any experience with BIOS version 1.3 for Satellite Pro U200? I've upgraded to this version of the BIOS and have had several problems since then - shortened wireless keyboard does not and display the overflowing of installation brightness to name two.

    In addition, as I noticed last week, upgrading the BIOS can not be downloaded more and there is no alternative - just says download page don't: "no BIOS upgrade for this product! Is there anyone that has 1.2 BIOS so that I can try to downgrade to this version?

    What is your experience with BIOS 1.3?

    Hello

    It s really strange?  :|
    I checked the BIOS for Satellite U200 and Satellite Pro U200 download section, but I put t found any BIOS download at this time.

    A few years ago the authorized service provider has installed an older version of the BIOS on my Tecra friends unit.
    I guess that he should be able to do it on your Satellite Pro U200.
    The other possibility is to wait for a newer version of the BIOS.
