Can't create the diskette for updating the BIOS on Satellite 1800-712

I was given a Satellite 1800-712 with bugged BIOS (the power went down while reflashing) So now when the notebook is switched on a sign shows
BIOS (Block2) is damaged! (Call your serviceman)
and so on...
I've downloaded the latest bios for the notebook, but when I try to follow the instructions given (unzip, insert a formated 1.44mb disk, start the *.exe file and a 1.44mb should be created) nothing happens. When I run the exe (chgbiosa.exe) if I'm running windows xp nothing happens, and if I'm running DOS says "Initial Error".
In the Archive of the bios is a readme. It says that I should copy the files (BIOFC72T.COM and CHGBIOSA.EXE) to a 1.44mb floppy disk. Well it doesn't help either.
Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this thread in the forum:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19801&messageID=72625
The case described in the thread above is very similar to your issue.
According to this message every newer BIOS has a protection mechanism which means that even in case of an incomplete flashing procedure, the responsible area in the BIOS-flash for the upgrade is never deleted.
So usually you should contact the service point in you country to solve this problem but maybe the description in the other thread will help you.
But you know, everything what you do is at you own risk

  • Create an app for update the time zone info

    Hello,
    I would like to create an app for update the zone info region of the iphone, because all the zone are not updated with the last version of DST (Daylight Saving time), for example in my country (Chile) the zone info file is different beetween the official website (IANA.org) and the current firmware of the iphone.
    My question :
    What is the posibility for an app to modify the content of the zones ? (here : /private/var/stash/usr/share/zoneinfo/)
    it's legal to submit an app with this customization ?
    thank you very much for your help.
    Gilles

    ok !! so it's a technical problem ...
    sorry for the question, i have only an iphone with jailbreak and i can manipulate all the file, I thought there was the same posibility for an official app without rooting.
    thank Michael.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This is the image contained in the file causing the problem...
    I certain the original is contained in the Combo updates and on the OS disks.
    As a temporary fix, click on the image above to open it.
    Use Screen capture (Shift+Command+4) and click on the opposite corners of the image.
    It will be saved as a Screen shot 2011-mm-dd at hh:mm.png
    Right click on the filename in Finder and rename it to mwmac_white.png
    I'm not certain, but the file might need to be moved into the Documents directory in the Subdirectory named for the website name you are editing. That's where it is on my system, but I moved a bunch of files when I restored from Time Machine about 18 months ago.
    I also have many copies of mwmac.png, a separate copy one for each web page where the image appears in my website.

  • I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

    I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives?  So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

    As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.

  • How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
    The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

  • Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order?

    Hi MM experts,
    Issue: Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order
    In Third party purchase process, first sales order created with a spl. item category  and it creates the PR automatically with the Sales order material and Qty and this PR converted PO.
    They got a pur.req. for sale order on same item for same delevery date. They did not get any warning msg. saying that a PO was prviously placed against this sale order.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    If anyone face the same issue, please let me know if you have any answer to this questions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suresh.

    Suresh,
    It is hard for me to give you a definitive answer since you have created a customized solution.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    Normally, the system will not do this.  A third party PR or PO will be 'account assigned' to the Sales order.  SAP standard 3rd party will not create additional purchase reqs unless there has been manual intervention.  Try searching for changes in the Sales order and changes in the original purchase order.  They may give you a clue.
    I believe the normal Item category for third party SO is TAS (I am working from memory here, I am not in front of a system).  I don't know what ZTAG does.  I confess I am not an SD expert.  You might also want to post your question in an SD forum.
    You mention two custom applications, ZMMPLAN and ZSTPMP.  These somehow have functionality that is used to help you convert your PRs to POs.  If I were in your position, I believe I would also look at these applications for clues to how they might be contributing to your problem.  And please don't send me details about these apps.  I will not comment on custom code in this forum.
    Sorry I can't be of more help.

  • Can v create graphical display for the report

    Hi to everyone
    my q is this can v create trend lines for a report ........
    if the ans is yes then pl mention the way of doing it .......

    when you run a bex report on the left top you have a button "graph". If you click this, you get a basic chart representing your output table. when you right-click on the chart you get the option menu as you get in xls, meaning you can change the type of chart (line, bar, pie,...) the series, the titles and so on (like regular xls)
    so the answer to your question is yes. If you want even more features you can use workbooks.

  • What's the fix for this error: Can't create the file "feed.xml."

    I try to publish my site from iWeb but I get an error which is below.
    Publish Error
    Can’t create the file “feed.xml.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
    Anyone know the fix?

    Whether 'feed.xml' is the first file it is trying to upload, indicating a general failure to connect, or whether it's choked at that particular point would be the question. It would be worth your getting an FTP program if you don't already have one - Cyberduck is free - and checking whether any files at all have been uploaded.
    Is this the first time you've tried to publish or are you updating an existing site? If it's the first you should check carefully that your settings are correct, in particular the 'path' which varies between different hosts and may be blank or may be something like 'public.html' or 'htdocs' - this would lead to the actual webspace which may not be the root level as you access the FTP server.
    You could also try publishing to a local folder - create a special folder somewhere and specify it when setting iWeb to do this, check the contents are OK, then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) using Cyberduck.

  • How can I create the recovery discs for my AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)

    Q.: How can I create the recovery discs for my MSI laptop/AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)
    A.:
    1. Locate the "MSI BurnRecovery" shortcut on your desktop or start menu. Run this program. (Note: If UAC is enabled, press "Yes" to allow the program to run.
    2. MSI BurnRecovery will prepare the files. This process may take a few minutes.
    3. Click on "Next" to continue.
    4. Click on "Advanced".
    5. Click on "Create an ISO file for the recovery disc".
    6. Select the destination where you want to create the ISO files. (Default is the D: drive)
    7. The program will now create the ISO files. This process may take up to 20 minutes.
    8. Click on "Finish". Make sure the box is unchecked.
    9. Browse to the location of the ISO files. Double-click the recovery_dvd file. (Note: Depending on your system, you will have 1-3 recovery_dvd files)
    10. Insert a blank DVD (If the AutoPlay window pops-up, close it). Click on "Burn". It is also recommended to check the box to verify disc after burning.
    11. After burn is complete, click on "Close".
    12. Double-click the recovery_dvd2 file.
    13. Insert a blank DVD (If the AutoPlay window pops-up, close it). Click on "Burn". It is also recommended to check the box to verify disc after burning.
    14. After burn is complete, click on "Close". Recovery disc creation is now complete. (You can also delete the ISO files, but it is recommended to keep them)

  • Can't update to 10.5.4 (can't create the folder "/private/temp/MacOSXUpd.."

    I've been unable to perform the updates from 10.5.2 to 10.5.4. When it shows me the updates as checked boxes and I proceed, it just says once I restart that its unable to update. . "could not create the folder "private/temp/MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.4pky28Mtquf2". Without the upgrade I've been having trouble using .me, as my computer won't seem to sync with the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I don't know why Software Update can't create the file it needs, but you can download the update manually from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html
    It is a big baby, so backup first... and don't do anything else whilst it is installing! (i.e. quit all other applications before running the installer -or if you want to be ultra cautious, do a safe boot after downloading, and then run it within a clean environment).
