update the BIOS with Win 7

Hello everyone, it has been a while. I had some problems with my SR5505F, I run Memtest + 86 on a barrette of RAM (2x2gb) both, but first wanted to check/upgrade the BIOS in case that was the problem, problem is, I upgraded the OS from Vista to Windows 7, and the BIOS for this model only offer the choice for Vista 32 and Vista 64 What should I do, my last update of the BIOS shows 2008. Thanks for any help.

Yes, I wouldn't risk.

You can always make a system image to install W7 using W7 backup tool, reinstall Vista, Flash the BIOS and reinstall W7 from your image backup. You will need to do a W7 boot CD or use your installation disk of W7 and instead of the installation option, select repair your computer option at the bottom left of the installation screen.  Then select restore from an image system or what is the closest that verbage thing.

No vista installation media?

You can do it yourself.  See below... beginning on page 289.

  • E531 update the Bios with WIndows 10 installed?

    Is it possible to update the BIOS with 10 Windows installed on E531?

    I don't see W7, W8, and XP

    Yet once, have solved this problem, I thought I would share with others who may have the same or similar issues.

    I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install. Installation BIOS itself is a little funky; I saw the screen go completely white for a while without message about progress or anything like that. But ultimately it ends and works well.

  • x 61 was updated the BIOS with 7nuj21us.exe Failed BIOS update utility

    Only, I have restored my x 61 to the original settings due to a problem with the blue screens and decided to update the BIOS right afterwards.  I followed the directions precisely and installed all 21 of each component for this model.

    I then turn off the computer and turned it back this morning to continue to load the software.  The system started with the fan running at high speed and stopped at the ThinkPad screen.  However, nothing happened after pressing the ThinkVantage button and F1 or another touches besides.  I left for a few hours, but finally determined that I could not turn off or do anything with the machine.  He just hung there.  I did finally remove the battery and replace it and now there is not able to record when the machine is connected and it does not start.

    Is there something I can do to recover the system?  I suspect that the answer is a replacement of the Commission.  The update of the BIOS was not at the same time with something on my computer.  I have just 2 years in the warranty period at the United States, so if I need to replace the card, what are the best options?

    Thanks for your help and comments... it is a very frustrating twist, because this is my work machine.

    Dmtrich,

  • Portege R600 - cannot update the BIOS using Win server 2008

    Hi all.

    Pls help...

    I tried to update my bios to the new version, but I can't.

    I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

    Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
    Unsupported product type is installed.
    Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80
    Current BIOS version: Ver.1.40

    So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

    is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
    You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

    You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

    Good bye

  • Can I update the bios with software for windows vista?

    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.

  • 22-3020: updating the BIOS with the utility HP - big mistake

    I have a model all-in-one 22-3020 who Support Assistant who kept harassing me to do a BIOS update.  I followed the instructions, he made a back-up and then the utility went down.  When you are finished, I continued to use the computer without a problem.

    The next morning, I got a white screen, waved the mouse to activate the standby mode screen (I guess) and if the computer was on, I couldn't any screen.  I restarted the computer (several times) with no screen.  Then, I searched this problem on Google and found a recommendation to hit the F10 key for 8 seconds, arrow down 3 times, and then press enter two times.  It was suggested that the BIOS update has somehow got stuck in standby mode.

    I tried without success and took the computer to a local repair center who told me that they couldn't access the BIOS to go back, or set.  In short, they said that the assistant to Support HP probably brick my computer and I would probably need to replace the motherboard.  I'll pass.

    Can anyone offer any other suggestions on how to try to restart the computer?  Is it possible to connect another monitor using the USB or HDMI so I can see if the F10 key is me to get into the BIOS (although I suppose that the repair people who would have thought).

    I'm the only one who has had my computer in brick by this utility that comes on the computer?

    Any help appreciated.

  • Update the Bios with Windows 7

    I have a compaq presario sr2173wm.  He came originally with windows vista.  I've upgraded to windows 7.  Now, I would like to update my bios.  My problem is that the update of the HP bios has my computer does not work with windows 7.  Anyone have any ideas

    If you're having no problems, it is not really any reason to upgrade a BIOS.  And update BIOS of HP programs only work on plant operating systems (unfortunately), so without hacking of the installer, you will not be able to install the BIOS update unless you are on a computer using a BIOS from HP HP and the factory operating system.  I'm sorry.  But, in a nutshell, a previous post that said better; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  You have problems with the normal operation of your computer?

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

    Hi all

    I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

    I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

    My questions:
    * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
    * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

    Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

    Thank you.

    Hans

    Hello

    I agree with Luke.
    The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
    Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

    But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

    You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
    As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

  • Update the BIOS Tecra M11 - 11L: to get power on display on two screens?

    Y at - it a BIOS update that lets me select "BOTH" as an option for the power on the screen?
    Currently, it lists only internal and automatic selection.

    Automatic selection outputs only to the external screen if it is connected.
    I need set the default output on both screens.

    Older Toshibas to this. In fact, all other Toshiba I used has this feature.
    Like a laptop rental/presentation/Conference, this is an important feature.

    And Yes, I've updated the BIOS with the latest version.

    Thank you

    Ben

    > Self-select out only on the external screen if it is connected.
    > I need set the default output on both screens.

    No, it doesn't have this BIOS update that would add this option.

  • Portege 3500: missing system32 - update the BIOS?

    Hello world

    I got a Portege 3500 PIII-M 1.33 GHz, which has been infected by a virus. I tried to reinstall Windows Xp, but the SYSTEM32 file is missing or damaged.

    I downloaded the BIOS driver and tried to install it via an external CD drive, but it did not work.
    Could you please help me at all?
    I am very concerned about the situation

    Can't wait to hear from you

    Thank you

    Davide

    Hello

    I can t believe that the virus may damage the BIOS!
    I think that you have updated the BIOS with the wrong procedure.
    Have you checked the BIOS update document?

    In any case, the fault of system32 has nothing to do with the BIOS and I don t understand why you started the update of the BIOS.

    The Portege 3500 does not support an internal hard drive, and so if you want to install the operating system, you must use a compatible external PC card reader.
    I assume you are using this player to start.

    If some error messages appear during the installation, you must first format the whole HARD drive and delete all partitions and then try again to boot from the recovery CD!

  • Update the BIOS on the Satellite 1900-803

    I just tried to update my bios on the recommendation of Microsoft because of reported serious CPU/bios conflicts.

    The routine bios flash downloaded seems to work well from the disk for about two minutes then suddenly shut the computer laptop everything without warning. The machine has restarted but only with a screen empty and not yet start either from floppy disks or hard drives.

    The front panel LED screen display the infrared icon in solid red without any Flash (there is no reference in the instruction booklet).
    I tried several keystrokes on re - boot from information obtained via google searches on the internet. None of them seem to make any difference. Supplied with the machine recovery CD does not work either re-boot when it is used with the recommended C more switch button power switch.
    I thought you are trying to reset the password using one of these parallel port fixers described on the net?
    Other ideas on a way forward?
    I guess that Toshiba offers no guarantee with their routines in the bios even if I lost a considerable amount of important data?

    Kind regards
    James

    Hello

    You are right. The guarantee only if no coverage of this misfortune.
    It seems that the laptop does not start because you have updated the BIOS with the wrong version or the wrong update procedure.

    Most of the time it's not easy to estimate what might be the problem.
    Maybe you are a lucky man and the BIOS chip be flashed only once again using a special procedure.
    In the worst cases, the jury is dead and you need a new

    Seems so you will have to contact the service technicians in your country.
    Ask guys for details and handling plus good luck
