• Update the BIOS? for Windows 8 + Recovery CD/DVD

  I have 2 questions.

  1. when I ran the auditor of update of Windows 8 (from the upgrade to Windows 8 Email)

  He told me that the BIOS was not supported for some kind of safe mode and windows would not be

  start-up, according to the message.

  So, I can always install it? Since I've upgraded to the latest Bios 1 I think

  2 Will it be a HP disk, if I can create a set of recovery?  or do I just burn the ISO from MS Windows and separate drivers?

  Thank you

  Hello pka4916. I see that you have questions about upgrading to Windows 8. Here is the official information from HP about upgrades of Windows 8

  Secure boot is a new feature in the BIOS and Windows 8 is designed to take advantage of that. Basically, Secure Boot prevents you to install "prevent" (unsigned) hardware or operating system to the PC. This is designed to provide increased security against malicious software such as rootkits. If your PC does not support in its Secure Boot BIOS you will not have this protection. The operating system should always work. Note, however, that if your laptop doesn't have drivers available for all devices some features may not work (see the link above about HP and upgrade to Windows 8) but lack of Secure Boot should not ask you questions.

  I hope this has been helpful!

  Hello world

  I have a SATELLITE U400-10 oC (PSU40E-00R00EG3). It is an old product, but once I always love use regularly.

  Recently, I bought a battery for this device upgrade. Unfortunately, it does not recognize the laptop. The work of the battery, but I don't you all information about the charge level. I tried various tricks 'reset' (removing ACPI Microsoft in the list of the drivers installed, running down the battery completely etc..).

  I think the BIOS might be exceeded and I'd like to update. Unfortunately, the Web of Toshiba site does not list updates for him more. Still, someone has access to updates the BIOS for this?

  The BIOS is a Phoenix currently to version 4.70.

  Hello

  N my BIOS of opinion has nothing to do with it. Battery can be replaced, and if you use compatible batteries they should be recognized correctly. Here is the list of all compatible batteries:
  PA3534U-1BAS/BRS
  1BAS/PA3536U-1BRS
  PA3634U-1BAS/BRS
  PA3635U-1BAM/BRM

  PC desktop, HP Pavilion Elite 9400F

  Windows 7 64-bit.

  Error message: Incorrect for your system (253) Bios please contact support.

  I use the bios upgrade HP site says to download for my PC, but the upgrade works only with a card mother M2P61PM-HM.

  My system black screen constantly when out of mode 'sleep' and upgrade the bios addresses that issue.

  Try to use the BIOS Nettle3 update on the card mother Narra3 will cause problems. Most of the time that BIOS HP update routines is written for a specific operating system and will not install on other operating systems.

  Make sure you use the update of the correct M2N68LA BIOS for your motherboard Narra3, several different versions of the M2N68LA were made (narrated, Narra3, etc.)

  Please put back the computer it's original Vista OS to install the M2N68LA (Narra3) update of the BIOS. After you install the update, you can return the system to Windows 7. Make it easy and not lose all personal data, disconnect your Windows 7 drive and a blank disc. Using the recovery DVD, install Vista. Update the BIOS. Disconnect the Vista disc, and then reconnect the player to Windows 7. You should be good to go.

• X200T not boot from any device after updating the Bios v3.00

  Hello

  I recently updated my bios to the latest version, the v3.00 X200T and now it does not start from any device - everything I get a blank screen after the initial bios starts upward.

  The bios seems functional and it recognizes all the devices I attached, as well as the internal hard drive. However no matter how to start the machine it does not start. I tried to set the boot order in the bios, using F12, F11 for recovery, remove the internal HARD disk, used all the USB ports, etc... -all I get is a blank screen after the initial splash screen.

  No beeps to indicate any problems, and I tried to reset the default settings of the bios, remove battery & power - all to nothing does not.

  Any ideas?

  I updated the bios of many laptops and desktop computers in the past, but this is a new one on me...

  I hope someone can help.

  It seems that it also happens to X 200 owners who upgrade to version 3.01 of the Bios.

  mc2sgp has posted a response in this forum that worked for me:

  "I have the same problem and found the way to a temporary solution."  Go into the BIOS (you should always be able to press F1 to go into the BIOS) and go to Config-> CPU Intel VT - d characteristic of-> and disable it.  You should now be able to start normally in your operating system. "

  At least, I can now start my camera.

  Hope this helps others.

  ADMIN edit: tagging this post as the solution to guide others to the bypass.  Lenovo will remove the BIOS on the web and replace it with an updated version that resolves these symptoms as quickly as possible.

• Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

  Hi all

  I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
  The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
  I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
  This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

  There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
  I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
  Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

  So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

  Thank you very much!!

  AJ.

  Hello

  I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

  But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

  Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

  Back to BIOS update:
  In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
  Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

• Update the BIOS on a Tecra M5 - 386 when the battery is not recogised.

  My battery is not seen by my Tecra M5, but still fresh and feeds the laptop, I found info that offers as well as an upgrade of the BIOS might help, but the software update me gives an error message "[error] AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not enough." How can I update the BIOS by bypassing the software security device? Told me on another forum that execution of the update .exe with /forceit BIOS in the CMD window that did not work. Can anyone help please.

  In most cases, the update of the BIOS does not solve battery problems
  Maybe the battery starts to malfunction because of age.

  I would recommend replacing the battery first!

  By the way; I guess the while the update of the BIOS error because of the software required missing; If you are using Win XP, then you must install page European driver of Toshiba common Modules. If you are using Windows 7 you must install VAP (value added package)

  Post edited by: kirekk

  Qosmio F50 - 10 k belongs to the series of PQF55E.
  If you want to update the BIOS, you will need to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.

  The European driver Toshiba page provides BIOS for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
  But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XP

  I think you can use the Win XP but the fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not XP

  The BIOS update should work also on XP, but in some rare cases the update cannot be performed and in this case, you will need to the Toshiba preinstalled the operating system in order to update the BIOS

• ProBook G3 450: I've updated the bios on my g3 Probook 450 and now potrs usb do not work

  I've updated the bios and after restarting the pc no usb port work and the usb serial bus is not listed in Device Manager. I have not received any error.

  Hi Richrob,

  Usually after the BIOS updates I recommend restoring the default BIOS because some parameters may change or managed power States must be refreshed. If you start at the F10 menu there will be a restoration of the default BIOS on the home page.

  If the USB bus does not return to the top after restoring default values, try to reinstall the USB driver. You can find the latest version for Windows 7 here.

• Satellite L750-201 - problem with update of the BIOS - preparation for Win 8

  I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
  I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

  I have downloaded the BIOS update file and run. I had several options. One of them was to make the update of Windows, and another was to create a boot CD to do at STARTUP.
  I created the CD and rebooted the machine with it. Everything seemed fine, but when the time came to Flash the bios I got the message about the battery must be greater than 10% and the power adapter is connected. If the BIOS update has refused to start.

  The problem is the battery was 100% or almost that I had just fully charged it. The power adapter is and powered. So whence the utility to update the BIOS get his info that the dough was less than 10%?
  I saw similar posts from other people, but the problem was usually that the battery was in fact less than 10% and that it was not charging. This isn't the case here.

  No matter, I thought, I can update the other sense through the windows.
  So I started the machine and took the Windows Flash utility. The system gave me the warning usual as planned and then rebooted the machine. He went directly in windows with the "Welcome" splash screen, and then stopped a few moments, then went to a black screen with just the pointer in the middle. I assumed it was something like the fairly active enjoy car light. However, after an age, nothing was. I could go back to the login screen by pressing the power button / standby machine and then turning it back on. My user has been locked, but I could shut down the computer and restart normally. Nothing serious happened. The machine starts very well and Windows does not normally, but BIOS remains unchanged.

  Anyone have any idea how to get the update of the BIOS to work? Seems I have to bypass the battery check or why BIOS thinks a battery of 100% is less than 10%.

• Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

  I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

  Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
  Is this good?

  So now my suggestion;
  Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
  The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

  By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

• Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

  Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba OS independent 2, 00 - WIN World Wide

  In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
  My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

  My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

  Hello

  > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
  You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
  So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

  If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running

• Satellite M30 - user not allowed to update the BIOS

  I have a Satellite M30 (204, according to me, model 60 GB 1.6 GHz) and I try to update the BIOS but get the error message the "the user is not allowed to update the bios. The reason why I'm trying to update it is I just bought a 250 GB hard drive, but the BIOS does recognize that 128 GB and I guess the most up-to-date BIOS will allow the drives of this size, although I have not found any documentation for precise to say so be it.

  Someone at - it a patch to update the BIOS (I don't think I have a usb floppy drive drive anywhere) or to access the full capacity in other ways? Thank you.

  Ainsworth

  Hello

  could you please tell me what operating system you´re to help? I guess that Windows Xp...

  Usually, the update of the BIOS routine has absolutely NOTHING to do with the capacity of your hard disk drive. You are working with a limited user account? If not, I suggest right clicking on the BIOS update file and choose the option "Run as..". Subsequently a windows pop up and you ask under which user you want to run this program. Click on the "Next user" radio button and choose the administrator. If you have a password for your admin account and then type in, otherwise it should start automatically.

• Satellite 1000-Z2: driver Intel GPU does not - I should update the BIOS?

  Hello

  I just downloaded and installed the latest driver for satellite 1000 Z2 graphics card which is Intel(r) 82830M chipset Driver revision: 6.14.10.3889. However, it does not work.

  I wonder if I should update my BIOS first. Thank you

  Hello

  It s always a good idea to update the BIOS. Thus, it would be the best you try the BIOS updated and then reinstall the graphics card driver. You can also (if it isn't already) check www.intel.com and download the drivers from there, they are sometimes more up-to-date than the drivers of toshiba. :)

  Please give some comments if the installation of the graphics card took place after the BIOS update.

  See you soon
