Updating BIOS for Tecra A2

Hello!

I'm trying to update the BIOS on a Tecra A2 and I need help. I downloaded the current version (1.40 - WIN) and then extracting the zip file to copy on a diskette as instructed, the package extracts from 1.84 MB! Obviously this will not keep on a floppy disk, so how can I perform the update?

According to the installation instructions this model no is not upgraded to Windows - if the version name contains WIN (?)

Any help would be appreciated.

Itsame.

I'm agree with sascha BIOS update published on the Toshiba page focuses on the victory of BIOS and this can ONLY be changed during the execution of a Windows operating system.

So download the BIOS, unzip and then run it the exe file

Greetings

  • Updating BIOS for Tecra 8000 without floppy

    I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
    is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

    I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

    Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.
    I'm sorry.

    Maybe stupid question now, but why do you need the BIOS update?

  • Updating BIOS for Tecra M7

    Hi guys,.

    I tried a bios upgrade for my Tecra M7 (as it is on version 1.70 - 17/10/2006).
    I found version 3, 20-victory - but of course, I've replaced Windows with Linux.

    I'd feel safer doing the traditional way anyway, so is there a way to get the folder on the CD from somewhere?
    Is it possible to pass a parameter to the program 'P0048v320_nVidiaGraphics.exe '?
    Is there a secret link?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is not so good, because toshiba does not provide a traditional BACK for this computer bios. You need a Windows system running with common modules installed to perform a bios update, if you find another way then you´re probably a lucky guy.

    I was using an old HDD with a recovery top Windows to update the bios on a Portege M400, so you should find a hard drive and install windows on it.

    Sorry man

  • Update BIOS on Tecra A3X

    I have Vista Business running fine with all this work and I want to update my Bios Version 1.20 at latest.
    Whenever I have to search for updates, the only one that appears is bios - 20070709164832.zip and it says:
    Update the BIOS of 07/09/07
    This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
    When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)
    For more detailed updated information, please see the Information update BIOS Toshiba
    Tecra A3X 1, 40 - WIN Toshiba.
    When I run as they explain the link, it gives a stupid error:

    [Error] BIOS update is not supported for operating system. Is an operating system or Service Pack is installed. ?!?!?!

    How can I get close to it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I think the problem is that the update of the bios (which is using windows) doesn't work under XP, so won´t you luck because it takes a working XP and common modules installed on your machine.

    Unfortunately there is no other way to update your bios, but in your case it s is NOT necessary update the bios since the new version adds not important functions. So I think that it s not a BIG problem, and if your computer is running well, then ' that one ' and follow the good old "never change a system up and running.

    Hello

    Why do you update the BIOS?
    Is there something wrong with the laptop?
    BIOS should be updated only if you have a problem. If the laptop works well, then I wouldn't update this

    However, I found three BIOS for Tecra M10 v3.0

  • Question about updating drivers for Tecra A9

    Hello

    I noticed that support Toshiba updates drivers for Tecra A9 very slowly even if they introduce important features. For example, the display driver for 965 graphics worm 15 is much better than 14 worm distributed by Toshiba. I know that pilots are tuned and Toshiba has many models to take care, but several months of waiting seems to be too long. I do not expect that all minor versions are updated, but the most important should be!

    Kind regards
    Marek

    Having the latest drivers would be nice, but its different for laptops. Motorists need to be customized for the features of the laptop, and they probably need to go through quality control, testing too although I guess.

    However there may be a solution, you can try to install the drivers later on newer models such as the Tecra A10 and M10 :)

  • Need BIOS for Tecra A8 3.2

    I am looking for this version of BIOS to test the object. Can someone help me with a link?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that the BIOS for Tecra A8 3.2 is not available on the Toshiba European driver page because this version has expired and the new BIOS versions are already available on the Toshiba page.

    I put t know if it s possible, but maybe a Toshiba authorized service provider might be able to help get an older version of BIOS.
    It s just a suggestion, but maybe what it s worth a try.

    Hi, I want to update BIOS for my Satellite 2450-101 (model: PS245E-01TMY-IT). I downloaded the BIOS "bios - 20071008123347.zip" on Toshiba Europe site (see link below). Is this the right one for my PC?

    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.
