  Hello

  I agree with Akuma
  The common Modules must be installed before you attempt the update of the BIOS.
  The common Modules is an essential component of Windows systems.
  It is required to TOSHIBA's other original programs to work properly, as the update of the BIOS!

• Re: Cannot update BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6 on Tecra 9100 T

  I have problems with the update the BIOS of my Tecra 9100. The current version is 1.5, and I want to update 1.6, so that the DVD-RAM UJ-820 does work.

  I tried to do with the windows tool in the Zip file (error message: user lacks administrative privileges) and with the startup disk (error message: unknown chipset).

  What can I do next?

  Hello

  You are right. On the support page Toshiba 1.60 update is available for the old Tecra 9100. As I see that one option is available WIN. This means that you must do under Windows running. If the option with the startup disk can be done at all.

  Start your Windows, download update (910078v160.exe) and extract it to the desktop. Close all running applications and run the exe file. That s it!

• Tecra M2 - updated BIOS is not supported

  Hello; I have a Tecra M2 I want to update BIOS.

  I downloaded it from the Toshiba site, specified for this model. But when I unzip in my book, there is a message that says "Bios Update v. 3.2.8. This computer is not supported. But my laptop is a 32-bit computer, and there is nothing strange about this... What is going on?

  I need a help. (It's only a simple update BIOS...)

  Thank you

  J.

  Hello

  The Bios Update v. 3.2.8 error message. This computer is not supported"might appear because the DMI information that contains the name of the laptop and other details of s notebook is wrong.
  In this case the DMI must be updated.

  The other reason why you are not able to update the BIOS, it is this tool called common Modules is not installed on your laptop.
  So install it and check if you can update the BIOS

  Last but not least, the reason could be the preinstalled OS, I hope you are using Win XP in order to update the BIOS

  Hello

  Is the a reason to update the BIOS or you want to update the BIOS simply because the new BIOS is available?
  You have a serious problem with the laptop?

  I have no day BIOS, even if the new BIOS is available for my laptop because I have no problems.

  However, the BIOS requires the VAP (value added package).
  This package can be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page
  If there is a problem with the VAP, the update of the BIOS would not start.

  So reinstall the VAP to check if this may help

  This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
  Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
  If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

  > There is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys f
  Controls of common modules the FN keys.
  If the issue should be resolved install common Modules v 6.06.00, 4.30.15 utilities
  Notes; You need to press FN + 1, 2, 3 etc. DON T press FN + F1 etc.

  First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
  In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:

• 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

• 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.

• Re: update BIOS on Tecra with PGP WDE

  Hello

  I want to update the BIOS of my Tecra S11. The hard drive is encrypted with PGP Whole Disk Encryption. Is it safe to run the Toshiba BIOS update program without first decrypting the disk?

  Thanks for your comments,
  Patrick

  Hello

  I ve not a lot of experience with PGP encryption software, but with the bit locker

  It is also a kind of encryption provided my MS in Vista and Win 7.
  To my knowledge the bitlocker must be set to suspend mode by updating the BIOS.

  I guess that something similar should be done to PGP.

  Maybe you could get more details here:
