Bios update on windows 7?

Hi
Ideas how to get the windows bios updater work on windows 7?
I my case: pr60v200.exe
or.. How to update from an USB stick?
Thanks

Hi
Your question is a little bit confusing but if you install the BIOS update nothing will happen on XP. If you make a dual boot system you can still boot from XP and Windows 7 too.
As Lars already wrote the BIOS has nothing to do with OS that you install. ;)
Furthermore there is no BIOS update that only works with Windows 7. This is not known to me. The only difference is that for some notebooks are BIOS versions for 32bit OS and 64bit OS. If you install Windows 7 32bit and XP is 32bit everything will work properly on both OS.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi:
    The only BIOS update for your model is for Windows Vista (v5.23).
    There aren't any newer BIOS releases than that one.
    You would need to be running Windows Vista in order to update the BIOS, or you would run a better than 99% chance of completely wrecking your PC.

  • Re: Tecra M9 bios update without windows

    I have a Tecra M9 running only [Opensolaris 2009.06|http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/] on it.
    Is there any chance to make a Bios update (acutally I have 1.50)
    Is there an ISO image or dos tools - so I can create my own ISO image...
    Thanks

    Hi!
    Why do you want to update the BIOS? Is it really necessary?
    I mean a BIOS update is always a little bit risky because in worst case you could destroy the ROM module and then it must be reflashed from a notebook technician or in worst case the mainboard must be exchanged.
    Anyway, I think a BIOS update is not possible on your OS. This update can only be done on Windows a running Windows system.
    In your case I would ask the nearest ASP as Eldorado suggested. Maybe they are able to do the update on DOS.

  • ThinkPad Yogo S1 BIOS Update makes Windows unbootable

    Model: 20CD0032US
    On Saturday I updated the BIOS on my ThinkPad Yoga S1 to the latest version, v1.24. Beginning on Sunday, I started getting numerous BSoD erros when booting Windows 8.1. Previously, this laptop has been absolutely ROCK SOLID for the year I've owned it.
    A few errors I recieved:
    Critical System Driver Contains Errors
    fltmgr.sys
    0xc0000221
    bfadi.sys
    0xc0000221
    "Digital signature for this file couldn't be verified" (didnt' specifify a file)
    0xc0000428
    ntoskrnl.exe
    0xc0000428
    After trying all the usual MBR and file system command line tricks, I still couldn't get it to boot. I tried playing with the SecureBoot settings in BIOS to no avail. I finally reinstalled Windows 8.1 since I had nothing significant on this laptop. (I pretty much use it for basic Office and automotive diagnostics. My desktop is my primary PC.)
    That was Sunday. It all seemed fine except for one random BSoD due to some driver file. I didn't think much of it since I had installed dozens up Windows updates and updated drivers. I went to bed Sunday night with everything being fine.
    The laptop was unplugged for a few hours and when I went to boot it up I started getting the same random BSoD's as above. No matter what, I couldn't get Windows to boot. I finally did a Reset to OS Optimized Defaults in BIOS and it magically booted. Everything seemed fine. I walked away to get some dinner and the laptop went to sleep. When I tried to wake it up, the BSoD's started all over again. Reset to OS Optimized Defaults once again worked.
    I went into the BIOS and enabled installing older BIOS versions. I reinstalled 1.23 (GQET43WW) and everything seems fine so far.
    Question is this:
    Do I have a larger problem than a buggy BIOS update?
    Could it be just a bad BIOS flash and is it worth trying 1.24 again?
    Has anyone else experienced this problem with 1.24?
    Thanks for the help!
    -Erik

    Good news. I've managed to resolve the problem. Just in case anyone else has the same issue. I reset the bios to factory settings, and disabled the secure boot entirely and it updated! You could try with just the latter first, else do a full reset. If you reset you might find that the system won't boot from the hard/ss drive. You have to switch UEFI to "Both". At least that is what I found.

  • Crashing Techra TE2000 Needs Bios Update, Using Windows XP. Any Advice?

    I have an older Toshiba TE2000 that has been crashing lately due to an insufficient BIOS update. It also states there is a problem with the RAM. Each time the computer crashes and reboots, it sends me to a Windows supports site that has diagnosed the problem, referring me to a BIOS update.
    I have been doing my homework and know that a BIOS update is very tricky and can lead to permanent damage. It may be necessary.. however I don't want to have to buy a new laptop.
    Can anyone offer any advice or support?
    It started crashing a few weeks ago, and crashed three times the other day. Are the crashes affecting my computer and what will happen if I don't update soon?
    Thanks for all your help

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go to the Product Support Link at the top of this page, enter in your model, then clik on the Download Tab to find the available bios files for that model.  DO NOT update the bios from within Windows.  Don't do it, don't even think about doing it if you want to use your computer again.  When you double click on the download you will be presented with the choice of creating a CD to flash the bios from.  USE THIS METHOD.  You can use a CD-RW so you don't waste a blank, but even the cost of a regular blank CD is cheap compared to the $100 that most places will charge you to fix a botched bios flash.  Be sure to burn the CD at the slowest possible speed to ensure the best possible quality.  Make sure that your battery is fully charged, installed, and the AC Adapter is plugged in just in case. 
    And don't forget to go into the bios and hit the F9 key to load Bios/Setup Defaults then F10 to exit and save just prior to and immediately after updating the bios.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Satellite M60 will not boot up after BIOS update through windows

    Hi all,
    I was updating my bios on my M60 with the latest bios version and I was following the windows flashing procedure (the recommended one) and it blue screened and dumped. Now the laptop wont boot, wont even post. Just a big dead brick :(
    I'm fairly proficient with hardware (I'm a software engineer) but I do not know how to reflash a laptop when this sort of thing happens. Is there a trigger bios reset on board? Is there anything I can do my self? If I take it back to my dealer how likely is it they will be able to reflash the bios in house? (Its a fairly large dealer in the Toronto area)
    This being a work system I need the solution that has the smallest time impact - cost is not too big an issue.
    Any help would be grand,
    thanks in advance.

    Hello Kristan
    According to your problem description I presume the BIOS chip is damaged and unfortunately you can not do much alone. Please contact Toshiba service and explain them the situation. They will explain you everything you must know and you can talk with them about costs and the time they need for notebook repairing.
    Bye

  • BIOS update in Windows 7 using DOS

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to update the BIOS of my ASUS Z8NA-D6C motherboard using the
    AFUDOS utility as recommend in the manual. I have created a bootable flash
    drive containing the "afudos.exe" application. However I was not able to boot
    the system under the DOS mode to proceed with the update (Can I do it on
    Windows 7?).
    Here is a link where I'm getting the information I need from:
    http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=k81cpN8uEB01BpQ6
    My desktop/workstation has the following specs:
    ASUS Z8NA-D6C dual Xeon LGA 1366 motherboard
    Intel Xeon E5520 2.27 GHz (only 1 CPU installed)
    6.0 GB RAM
    ASUS MIO audio card
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
    Any guidance is very much appreciated,
    Paulo.

    Hi Justohelp and cdobbs, thanks for the insights.
    A few minutes after posting my question I figured what I was doing 
    wrong and how to get it done right.
    First, I was creating a bootable windows 7 flash drive (as explained here http://kmwoley.com/blog/?p=345).
    That was the wrong part. :-) (probably a dumb thing to do...).
    Then I realized that I had to create a bootable MS-DOS USB flash drive. I could do it by right-clicking on the
    flash drive icon in Windows 7 and choose FORMAT with the option Create an MS-DOS startup disk checked.
    However this option is grayed out in my Windows 7 Ultimate (God knows why...). 
    I could finally get the DOS flash drive using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
    following the directions from the forum below:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/46707-ms-dos-bootable-flash-drive-create.html
    After that I copied the AFU238 application and the newest BIOS file (e.g. Z8NA-D6-ASUS-0602.ROM)
    to the root of the flash drive. Remember to rename the BIOS file with a name no longer than 8 alphanumeric 
    symbols plus the .ROM extension.
    I then proceeded to restarting my PC. I used F8 during start up to choose to boot from the flash drive (but it is
    also possible to press DEL, go to BIO Setup and change the order of the boot device).
    In the dos prompt I typed the following commands a hit ENTER in this order:
    C:\>AFU238 /oOLDBIOS.ROM 
    This is going to save the current BIOS file from the computer to the flash drive in case you need it afterwards.
    After the program runs for a few seconds type:
    C:\>AFU238 /iNEWBIOS.ROM 
    Writing flash ...... 0x0008CC00 (9%) 
    *Assuming that you have renamed the Z8NA-D6-ASUS-0602.ROM file to NEWBIOS.ROM
    Wait a few for seconds (or minutes) and it's done.
    HTH.
    Paulo.

  • Bios Update For Window 7 Ultimate

    Hello everyone,
    I have HP pavillion Dv6602 model laptop with AMD TURION processor which was taken in year 2008 with operating system windows vista. After window 7 came i replaced my window vista with window 7 ultimate. But after that the problem I am facing is that my laptop is getting overheated and its fan is making some very scary noise and after getting overheat , it gets shut down by itself with a sound and it will start after waiting for 5-10 mins after making it cool. I thought may be there would be requirement other drivers or softwares for Window 7 because even my webcam, quick launch buttons and my CD/DVD driver is not reading anything so i searched HP website but there after scanning my system for half an hour , it said no available software to update.
    Then I checked my BIOS version , It is of F.30-24-04-2008 configured by Phoenix itself. Then i downloaded F.34 March-2011 configured phoenix BIOS set-up from HP website only . But now I am thinking shall I update my BIOS to F.34 or once it erased the previous flash , i will struggle to get my laptop in this position also . So please help me ?? I have the F.34 set up and also explain me how to use Phoenix Crisis recovery through USB(Pen drive) to recover the earlier BIOS in case of emergency. 
    For your proper reference i am attaching my Laptop info details also.
    Thanks in advance

    When the process is taking 94-96%, it's not bad, it's actually good because it means that the system is not taking much resources. However, when the process is taking those values and the CPU is burning, something is wrong. The CPU should be cool.

  • Thinkpad T440 BIOS update without Windows Utility - problem

    So I wanted to update my BIOS from 2.23 to 2.30 from here - http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds035967. First think's first - my T440 does not have any CD/DVD, so obviously I need a bootable USB to update my BIOS. Second, I'm using Ubuntu and no longer have (or want to have) the Windows installation.
    In order to make a bootable USB with the BIOS iso file I tried 2 things:
    1) Tried following this guide - httpawww.lenzg.net/archives/358-Updating-the-BIOS-on-my-ThinkPad-T440-without-Windows-or-a-DVD-Drive.html, everything seems to be have worked, except the fact that it does not boot when I try to boot trough the USB, and I bumped there.
    2) Open a Windows on my second laptop and try to make a bootable USB from Windows (maybe it will help?). Tried both the standard Windows USB DVD Tool and got the error - "The selected file is not a valid ISO file. Please select a valid ISO file and try again." Fair enough, here I started to get suspisous that something is wrong. I tried and burned a bootable USB with PowerISO, but again as method 1) it does not boot.
    Just to mention that in my BIOS I have the Secure Boot off and both the Legacy mode and UEFI, with Legacy first.
    Any ideas how to proceed?

    Sorry, I don't know about Linux much less then nothing.
    But I'm sure there are the following tools for:
    - disk/partition management, to make primary partition on the stick as active, to be bootable
    - mount .iso image as a virtual CD to explore that one and get its content. Or, perhaps, there is .iso content viewer that supports CDFS.

    I am building a pc with the Z77A-G43 and will be running windows 8. Will i be required to update the bios and should i do this before installing the operating system or after?
    Thanks

    Update the bios first.
    Then format the Drive using diskpart to GPT, finally install from USB in UEFI mode.
    You can use the forum flash tool for all of this:

    If you hit Shift +f5 at the selection screen to enter dos then proceed with formatting the ssd or hdd to GPT.
