BIOS Update for Tecra 8000 without Floppy Disk

I searched in this forum for a solution to 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 .iso file for the tecra 8000 series.
is there any solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive ?

I have checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is offered. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years old and at this time Toshiba has offered traditional BIOS update only.
Win versions are offered later with newer Tecra 9000/9100.
Sorry.
Maybe stupid question now but why do you need BIOS update?

BIOS Update for Tecra A3: Is it Really Needed?

I frequently see a new bios update file from the download site. My Tecra A3 is 2 months old and have no problems so far. Is it really necessary to update the BIOS?
One more thing is that there is no mention about what the latest BIOS update will do to the laptop.

Hi
If your unit runs properly and if there are no problems, in my opinion, the BIOS update is not necessary to do.
I use Satellite P20 about two years and I didnt make BIOS update till now. I agree with you that without any concrete description it is not easy to make decision about BIOS update.

Need BIOS update for Tecra A4-SP619

I have a Tecra A4-SP619 and i need a Bios Update. Where I find this?
Thanks

_One additional info:_
You should know that the BIOS update is always risky.
The wrong BIOS or wrong BIOS update procedure can damage the board or the ROM module.
Yes its true dude. The BIOS upgrade is not an easy thing like a graphic card driver update. BIOS update should be done as a last resort.
and please read more info before you will continue the BIOS update.
best regards

How to boot a desktop-PC into RT directly from harddisk (without floppy disk)

Hello,
we are using a normal desktop-PC as LabVIEW real-time target (ETS).
Unfortunately, we always have to use the floppy boot disk (created with MAX) in order to boot this RT-system.
Once we had a National Instruments PXI real-time system and there was no need for that boot disk to start the system.
So, why do we have to boot the desktop-PC from a floppy disk instead of booting directly from harddisk?
Or is there a possibility to boot the desktop system without floppy disk, just like the PXI-system?
Tom S.

Hi Daniel,
thank you for your reply.
I just checked again if I can boot the RT-system without the floppy disk, from harddisk only - but that doesn't work ("DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK...").
Of course, the boot order in BIOS is set up appropriately to allow booting from harddisk.
And also, the complete software package was already installed on harddisk via MAX through the previously configured network connection.
Actually, it seems there is no boot loader installed on harddisk at RT-systems for desktop-PC's.
The boot loader has to be launched from the floppy boot disk and afterwards, the further boot program is loaded from hard disk.
Is there anyone who can boot a desktop-PC into RT without the floppy disk? And what do I have to set up in order to make it work for our system?
Thanks,
Tom S.

Need help finding a BIOS flash tool and BIOS updates for HP Compaq nc8230 running Windows 7

I put together this laptop. It didnt come with a hardrive, and basically I installed everything from the ground up.
It is an HP Compaq nc8230, IDE Hard drive, Windows 7 32 bit. The BIOS on it is the original one. I've searched far and wide, but to no avail, it seems there's zero support for this model anymore.
Basically it was never intended to go beyond Vista, back in 2004 when this model was introduced.
The reason I am searching for some kind of BIOS update, whether it is BIOS or SMBios is to get the ACPI driver to recognize the primary laptop battery. This is crucial: it only sees both as the travel battery. Other than that, all else is fine.

Hi:
Here is the latest BIOS update for your notebook.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
You cannot use the windows based flash because you installed windows 7, so I provided the link to the DOS based flash.
You need to use a USB floppy drive for this update.
Oh, and the card reader won't work unless you install this updated driver which is not on your PC's support and driver page.

Also, here is the link to your PC's support and driver page...

Support Assistant Suggests BIOS Update for HP ProDesk 401 G1 MT

HP Support Assistant notifies me of a BIOS update for my HP ProDesk 401 G1 MT computer running Win 7 Pro sp1.
Recommended update
HP Business Desktop System BIOS (L02)
HP Business Desktop System BIOS Package for models with an L02 BIOS
SoftPaq number SP71111 Version v02.40Ap1 Size 15.81MB
There is available disk space and the update downloads okay.
Then a new window opens titled hp BIOS Flash Update hp.
This BIOS Flash Update SoftPaq contains utilities and data files that can be used to restore or upgrade the system BIOS on Hewlett-Packard business desktops. Several methods for changing the BIOS firmware stored on your computer are provided as described below.
yadda, yadda, yadda
There are no instructions on what I am to do.
Then the installation fails.
This has happened several times now. I'm clueless. I don't even know how to check if I have an L02 BIOS. What am I supposed to be doing to update the BIOS as recommended by HP Support Assistant?

Hi,
You might get better assistance on the HP Enterprise Business Forum since you have a business class PC.

BIOS Update for Thinkpad (x121e) in order to make Sandisk Cruzer Extreme finally bootable?

Hello,
will there every be a BIOS update for Thinkpads (in my case x121e) so that it (the BIOS of the thinkpad) will finally be able to recognize and therefore boot from usb flash drives / sticks like Sandisk Cruzer Extreme???
(Once the OS is running, the drive is recognized just fine, but that's not what I'm here for.)
My old desktop pc from 2006 has no problems with such a "modern" drive, but my 5 years younger x121e isn't able to boot from that drive? Come on, Lenovo, you can do better, at least you should...!
I'm not sure, if that is the right place for such an inquiry, but as Lenovo apparently doesn't offer a proper support e.g. by email, I just try it this way. I once use the support by phone, only to find out that the lady on the other end had no clue whatsoever of computers and was just looking up answers in her system, which were, of course, not at all helpful.
So, for now, this is my only hope, that someone from the technical team at Lenovo reads this and gets the BIOS programmers to work...
Cheers,
Mike
[btw: I read about a similar entry where the guy finally marked his problem as solved just because he used another usb stick to boot the first one. That's not a solution, that's a work-around. I'm looking for a solution (= BIOS update), not a work-around!]

Hi, I have an x120e and when I get into the BIOS > Startup > Boot, I see the following list:
Boot Priority Order
1. ATA HDD0 Samsung SSD 830 Series (my main disk)
2. USB HDD SanDisk Cruzer Fit (a tiny usb drive that is always attached and holds assorted files)
3. USB CD
4. USB FDD
5. PCI LAN
The device can indeed boot from a USB stick. I think you will have to follow this order of events: first attach the USB you want to boot from, yet boot only from your main hard drive, to let the system recognize the attached USB drive and put it in the Boot Priority Order list, then shutdown, restart and get into BIOS. F1: to either to change the ordering in the list to put USB FDD or USB HDD SanDisk first) or F12 (I think): to choose a temp device to boot from. Or....... (another thought), the USB you want to boot from hasn't yet been made "bootable" (I think you may have to go into diskpart > etc to set it active) so isn't recognized in BIOS.
I've used a USB flash drive with my recovery partition on it to restore to factory state. That was also a Sandisk Cruzer USB. I've also booted directly into a WinPE sort of environment using another bootable USB made for the purpose of restoring from system images. Mine is an x120e; your x121e can't be much different.
Cheers!

How to do BIOS update on Tecra R940?

Are there instructions to do BIOS update for my Tecra R940/Win7Pro/64bit?
Thanks
AB-Oz

On Toshiba BIOS download page you can download WIN version. That means after BIOS download you must execute it under running Windows as every other application.
By the way: is there some reason for BIOS update? Have you noticed some troubles with your machine?

Is there a tutorial on how to flash the new BIOS?
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the desired file included with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

Also, what is the difference between normal and ln2, or witch one is safe to use?
normal is the pre-overclocked default vbios. LN2 (which can be chosen via the selector switch on top of your card) is not factory overclocked but allows more extreme manual oc without the limits of normal vbios (more voltage and power draw allowed). This is especially needed for extreme oc like if using Liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling for oc records.

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A100-200 (PSAA8E)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
The BIOS on the download page is November last year, is there anything newer or does anyone know of an update that is compatible?
Thanks,
Ian

Yep, newest updates and drivers for your notebook you will find on the Toshiba download pages, as Jimi already mentioned.
Just as a little hint from my side is, that if there is nothing wrong with your notebook, just leave it as it is.
As there is the saying, never touch a running system.
So keep that in mind. ;)

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
My bios is 23/10/07 Windows Vista 32 Bit 1.80-WIN

Hi
Did you check the Toshiba European driver page?
There you could find all drivers and BIOS for the Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)
But I checked the page and the BIOS 1.8 for Win Vista 32bit is still the newest one.
Seems you are already up to date buddy ;)

Bug in latest 2 bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33

Hey guys,
Today I tried to update my bios of my FM2-A55M-E33 to the latest version(7721vA4.zip). Once everything completed succesfully, the bios wouldn't boot anymore.
I plugged out my 3TB hdd and it worked fine. I installed an earlier version of the bios(7721vA0.zip) and this did work with my 3TB hdd.
So in short:
The latest bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33 will freeze(black screen) at bios start when a 2TB+ hdd drive is plugged in.
Namely:
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.3 BIOS Release
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.4 BIOS Release
I hope you can fix this asap, especially since these are the latest updates.
Regards,
Henkie de Grote

Thx for the info anyways
