Is it possible to upgrade BIOS without Windows installed - Satellie L30

I don't have WIndows installed on my Toshiba Satellite PSL33E. Does it possible to create boot CD to upgrade BIOS on my notebook ?

This is only possible if you would have an Toshiba traditional BIOS update version.
But the point is that Toshiba European driver page DOESNT provide such BIOS.
Theres only a windows based BIOS which means that you can update it only from running Windows OS.
Sorry, dont think that you could do this. Oohhh wait maybe the ASP in your country could help you. Maybe the authorized service provider can update it using a floppy disk.

  • Flashing C365 BIOS Without Windows on HD

    Hello, just bought me a new C365. Didn't want this WinBingThing. First thing I did was make a backup of the HD with dd. Then wiped away everything to install Debian Jessie. Everything is fine, it works.
    But now I'm concerned about how to update the bios. I really don't want to put the image back to HD just for flashing the bios.
    Someone found a way, but it would involve using third party software:
    https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Flashing-BIOS-Without-Windows/m-p/1700535
    I found a new bios for my system:
    http://support.lenovo.com/de/de/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/lenovo-c-series-all-in-ones/lenovo...
    I found an image of an ISO for to flash another system. Of course I woudn't take the BIOS-Image from that ISO:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en/downloads/ds009477
    So my question: Is that ISO-Image suitable to flash my BIOS, if I add the BIOS to the given  ISO?
    Other questions: Why can't I find any BIOS-changelogs on the C365-BIOS page? Would it be possible to provide BIOS-Flash-ISO-Images for C365?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Windows 8 - Can I upgrade BIOS without loosing embedded product-key?

    On machines with Windows 8 pre-installed, the product-key is embedded in bios.
    So... what happens with the product-key if I upgrade Bios?
    Can I be sure I don't loose the product-key?

    The product key should remain intact.  If it doesn't, it is a bug and Lenovo would need to correct it while the machine is under warranty.
    Updating a BIOS for a machine not under warranty isn't advised.

  • How can I Install BIOS Upgrade without windows installed

    Hi Guys,
    I want to Install BIOS Upgrade for Lenovo 3000 N100. The problem is i have a brand new hard drive, so i want to install it on command line after booting the system from bootable CD.
    I have found all the BIOS updates on Lenovo site are Installer Packeges which runs on windows.
    I am stuck, any help will be highly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Ashik

    I am Trying to update the BIOS on my G530-35U to 6get18ww (currently 6get17ww). I did not automatically install when I run the file 6get18ww, maybe because I did not have the battery in place (I forgot) all it did was to put all it's 17 files (BIOS.wph, mfc42.dll, ... winphlash.gid, etc.) in C:\DRIVERS\BIOS\6get18ww.
    Are those files the ones you are talking about it?
    Actually I will copy all but those txt files into a CD and I will try to boot from it.
    otherwise I will just copy large size executable file BIOS.WPH other?
    I will report here if I don't forget.
    thanks

  • Flashing BIOS Without Windows

    This really should have been covered on the main download page for the BIOS update. I'm trying to update my BIOS on a Yoga 2 Pro but alas Lenovo has made BIOS updates OS dependant. Here I am used to just going to the BIOS putting the .img file on a usb stick and select flash. That would be too easy and I'm sure confused alot of Windows users. The problem I am having first of all is I cannot find a changelog file. Why would I want to flash something that I have no idea what it does? I need to know what I'm flashing first. The second problem is I cannot even extract the downloaded .exe file, its not a .cab, .zip or .rar. If I could extract it, all I should need to do is make a bootable usb with the .img file right? Anyone in Lenovo support whatching this thread?

  • BIOS recovery without windows

    Hello,
    first of all, I'm french so my english may not be perfect, sorry about that.
    I have a problem with my Compaq Mini 110c 1030sf : a BIOS update went wrong, and windows won't boot anymore (neither XP, nor Se7en). Linux does though.
    The problem is HP provides .exe BIOS files that can't run in DOS mode, but only in Windows... which of course is embarassing, as the reason I want to flash my BIOS is that Windows won't boot.
    If anyone has a solution to update HP BIOS without WIndows (using a bootable disk or even Linux), I would really be grateful !

    Hi:
    I have extracted and zipped just the BIOS flash file .exe. Perhaps you can use it either in DOS or Linux on a bootable CD:
    I don't know if this file also has to be run in Windows, but perhaps not.

  • Lost user data after upgrade bios in G580

    HI
    I have strange problem with Lenovo G580 with Windows 7. After upgrade bios to newest version and reboot my system start without any user data (no documents, no programs installed earlier), All reboot take short time, about 1-2 minutes. Only username stay the same.
    Is it possible that upgrade BIOS was bring recover system to factory?
    Does data can I recover somehow?
    I need help because there was important databases of company.
    Thanks
    Dariusz

    hi Dariusz,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    That's really strange indeed and very unusual as I've never seen a BIOS update delete a user's data before. Perhaps you're logged-in to a temporary user profile?
    To check if you're logged-in to a temp profile, show hidden files and navigate to C:\Users and check if you have an identical username with a dollar sign right next to it and apply this fix:
    Fix Corrupt Windows 7 Temporary Profile
    For data recovery, check these Free File Recovery Software Programs.
    Hope this helps

  • W530 Can not see SSD (Bios or Windows Installati​on)

    Hi all,
    I have been workign on this for a bit now and can't see mto get it figured out. I referenced past threads on this forum for help, but so far no luck.
    Basically I am tryign to install a new Samsung SSD into a W530, however, I can not get the Bios or Windows instalation to see it (when you select what driev you want to install windows on).
    I can externally attach the SSD to my other laptop and see the drive. I can create partitions, format them, etc. But none of that helped my original issue.
    I have also updated to the latest BIOS version, tried turning off UEFI, no luck.
    Any ideas on what I am missign here to get this SSD to show up?
    Thanks,
    Jeryn
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you replacing the spinner in your W530 with the SSD? Main drive bay?
    The side rails from the old spinner must be removed from the old drive and attached to the sides of the SSD, before putting it into the bay.  However as is shown in the user manual, they actually must be attached "upside down" (or maybe inside out as well?? I forget now) for the SSD from the orientation that they had with the spinner.  I assume this is because of a slight height difference in the two drives as far as where the rear electrical connector on the drive mates with the correnspinding connector inside the bay.
    The reversal of the side rails will raise (or lower?) the SSD drive, so that its electrical connector meets the drive bay electrical connector properly.  Now when you push in the SSD drive all the way, you're really making true electrical contact and presumably the SSD will now be seen.
    With the side rails attached incorrectly, when you push the SSD all the way in, the drive electrical connector is completely missing the drive bay connector, and there is zero electrical contact.  It's just sitting in the drive bay physcially.
    I made this same mistake myself when installing my Samsung 840 Pro SSD to replace the factory 500GB spinner in my own W530. Played with this for an hour, before finally interpreting the picture from the user manual as an indication there were two different orientations of the side rails that were actually different, for spinner vs. SSD, and exactly what that meant in terms of attaching the rails to the drive before inserting it into the main bay.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
    If you can help, please tell me,
    Thankyou.

    No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
    Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
    Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
    Good luck - write back with any questions.

  • ¿Is it possible to upgrade from SCCM 2012 a domain controller in Windows Server 2008 R2 TO 2012 R2?

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Anything is possible if you can script it. You could create a task sequence to do the following (with scripts):
    1. Demote 2008R2 DC to member server
    2. Remove 2008R2 member server from domain
    3. Build new 2012R2 member server and join to domain
    4. Promote 2012R2 member server to DC
    You can do this. However, why would you? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In my opinion it's more trouble and testing than it's worth. How many times would you need to do this?
