Cannot Update BIOS on Tecra M7

Hello,
I'm trying to update my BIOS to get my Tecra M7 to recognize Intel's virtualization extensions.  I downloaded version 3.50 of both the update for "Tecra M7" and "Tecra M7-7311," and neither work.  Both tell me that my computer isn't supported, both when upgrading within Windows and when updating using a boot CD.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work?
Thx.

So far as I know, only a very few of Toshiba's computers have a BIOS that supports hardware virtualization. You probably need to call their customer support in your country to find out which ones.
What is the part number of your Tecra M7? It looks something like PTM71E-00M00GEN or PTM71C-GH10TE or PTM71A-006005.

  • Cannot update BIOS on Tecra A9 due to the admin rights

    Hello,
    I want to update the BIOS of my A9 Tecra from 1.70 to 2.10 for (Windows XP SP 2).
    When I start the update (P0054v210.exe), I get the error message: "[Error] The starting of service was aborted. The user does not have administator privilieges".
    The eventlog entries are:
    Application:
    ErrorCode: 9
    Source: CHGBIOS
    Description: "CHGBIOS" (The complete message are on german and this forum not allow german error messages, because they "contains profanity or inappropriate language")
    System:

    Source: Service Control Manager
    Description: "NCHGBIOS2SVC" not found. (The complete message are on german and this forum not allow german error messages, because they "contains profanity or inappropriate language")
    I started the update as the local Administrator but it doesn't work.
    Can someone help?

    Ive heard that the common modules are very important, so I would reinstall the common modules and try the BIOS update again.
    Are you sure your Antivirus is not blocking the BIOS update? Disable it and see how that goes.

  • Cannot access BIOS on Tecra M11-11K after Supervisor password has been set

    Hi there,
    I've got 10 laptops Toshiba Tecra M11-11K here and they all have the same problem. If they turned on and I enter the BIOS to make adjustments for the first time, it's fine but if I want to return to BIOS after couple of restart (or even one), what happens when I press F2 is that the screen flashes and computer restarts. It does it on all 10 laptops. Anyone knows what to do with that? Flashing BIOS means I have to setup all of them before I can do that, which is a bit of a drag and I don't have guarantee it's gonna work. :/
    Thank you,
    J

    Nope.
    When I removed the notebook from the box, I entered the BIOS to change the BOOT order (Network First), setup Supervisor Password and changed SATA to Compatibility mode. Then I saved changes and rebuild the notebook from a WDS.
    When done I wanted to change the boot order to HDD only but everytime I press F2 to enter BIOS, the screen only flashes with a blank screen, and computer restarts and I'm back at the Toshiba logo (the one you see when you turn on computer) and that is happening everytime I press F2 to enter BIOS.
    It only restarts and comes back with Toshiba logo. Press F2, it restart and Toshiba logo is up again. :/
    I tried to update BIOS, but no luck.
    I can enter the BIOS only once, when unpacked from the BOX. After that, no chance. 10 laptops have the same problem.
    Model Toshiba Tecra M11-11K (PTME0E).

  • Cannot update BIOS anymore

    Hello, i cannot update my BIOS anymore and i need some help, here is what happened: i bought this laptop somewhere in 2011 and i bought Windows 7 (i accidentaly got 32bit instade of 64bit because i forgot that in this laptop is 64bit cpu) and near the end of 2011 or at begining of 2012 i installed BIOS update from HP support assistant, and in 2013 (i think) i got notification from HP support assistant about new BIOS update and i tried to update it but i couldnt run setup because my 300GB local disk C and 2GB HP_tools F disks were both totaly full so i gave up but now in 2015 i remembered about that update and i cleaned my disks and opened HP support assistant and checked for updates but it dosent give me option to update my BIOS anymore, please help.
    If you need my computer specs let me know.
    Sorry for my bad English.
    Please reply.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You're welcome.
    There are several bios versions listed between your current one and the update I linked to, however most of these just add support for newer models - HP bios updates are cumulative, so any fixes/enhancements etc in previous versions will be applied by installing the latest.
    However, I don't believe the update will give you the option of disabling (ie Fixed Mode) the Intel gpu - in fact, the only real benefit of upgrading to this bios version is if you're considering running Windows 8 as it adds support for Windows 8 'wireless button' control.
    On balance and if everything is working Ok at the moment, you may well be best advised not to upgrade ( unless you're considering Windows 8 ) - if you do decide to update, flashing back to your current version from a much later revision may not be possible ( this can be blocked if there's a known issue with reverting ).
    At the end of the day, flashing the bios always carries a small risk.
    Best regards,
    DP-K

  • Updating BIOS on Tecra A10-IC5

    Dear members
    I have the Tecra A10-IC5 (-ptsb0e-03d01ken), and have *windows 8* installed on it. It was my wish to update the bios to the latest version.
    Accordingly I navigated to the Toshiba website, and, using the auto-detect tool that Toshiba provide, was directed to the drivers list for my model.
    The list of drivers included bios update, and it was designated as "operating system independent".
    Therefore I downloaded and unpacked the file, and launched the program.
    (bios 2009110452403)
    However as soon as I did this the program abruptly terminated with the message "this computer is not supported"
    With that in mind I would like to request advice - could anyone please tell me what I must do to update bios
    thanks you
    Ian

    > Please do you know whether I would be able to update bios if I booted from a Linux live cd eg Linux mint.
    WIN update is designed to e installed in Windows only. Toshiba doesnt support Linux and dont create any software that can be used with it.
    > please do you know what improvements the latest bios would offer over the one that was installed when the laptop was new.
    Unfortunately Toshiba Europe doesnt offer list with exact explanation what is new.

  • Update Bios on Tecra 8000

    Message was edited by: adi83ek

    Hi Tomek,
    Unfortunately you will not be able to load an older version of the BIOS. The BIOS update utility automatically checks that the version being loaded is more recent than that already installed and if it is not it will not be loaded.
    To revert to an older BIOS you will need to go to an Authorised Service Partner who can 'flash' the BIOS chip to remove the current BIOS and then load the earlier one.

  • Cannot update BIOS on Satellite L40-14H

    Hi, guys!
    I`m actually use L40-14H notebook with 5.40-WIN BIOS (for XP). When returned to Vista x64 I try several times to update BIOS to 1.90-WIN (for Vista) in Windows mode, but nothing...
    Any ideas how to do that without USB floppy?

    Hi,
    Just nothing, only Command Prompt screen splash for a second and nothing more. Although account is Administrator I use "Run as administrator option", but no difference - no errors, no messages.
    Possible is not working in Vista x64, I don`t know...
    Do you know the difference between 5.40-WIN (for XP) and 1.90-WIN (for Vista)?
    PS: Sorry for my english. :)

  • Cannot update BIOS on Satellite A665

    Hi
    I desperately need help with updating my BIOS on Satellite A665 as my battery is not charging and the site says for me to update BIOS but it is not letting me update saying battery is less than 10%.
    Please someone help me as I have no way of using the laptop without AC power always present.

    Hi
    What is your current battery level?
    I think the BIOS update will prevent updating if the battery level is too low - this is a security feature.
    In case your battery will not charge please try to disconnect it wait a second or two. Then connect it again.
    Still the same?
    If so please let us know which BIOS version is in your system today.
    Thanks

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

    I have problems with updating the BIOS of my Tecra 9100. The current version is 1.5, and I want to update it to 1.6, so that the UJ-820 DVD-RAM will work.
    I have tried to do with the windows tool within the Zip-File (error message: User does not have administrator privileges), and with bootdisk (error message: unknown chipset).
    What can I do next?

    Hi
    First of all the BIOS update will not help you to solve the CD/DVD drive IDE #1 issue.
    Secondly I assume you are using the Win XP and if you want to update the BIOS you have to do this from running Win XP!
    Furthermore I read in different threads that the Common Modules must be installed in order to start the BIOS update procedure.
    PS: Check if you could start the BIOS exe file using right click and choosing Run as
    Then you could choose the Admin account.

  • Thinkpad A30: Cannot update BIOS

    Hi,
    I have a Thinkpad A30 2652-3WG BIOS v1.03, which I recently revived, installing Windows XP SP3.
    I noted that the graphics driver required BIOS v1.14 or higher. Having an old BIOS v1.03, I downloaded BIOS v1.19 and tried to update.
    But no matter what I do, whether I choose the floppy or non-floppy version, or even an older BIOS: When I get to the point where I answer "Yes" to start the BIOS update procedure, I get the error:
    "System program update is currently disabled. The process has been canceled."
    I have checked through all options in the Bios setup, as well as in the Thinkpad Configuration tool in the Control Panel, but I cannot find any settings for enabling/disabling Bios updates. The only think I've found, is an option to enable update through LAN, which is enabled by default.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    A complete shot in the dark on my part, but doesn't cost you anything to try: remove the CMOS (BIOS) battery for an hour, and the main battery at the same time. Keep the machine unplugged throughout this period of time.
    Before doing all of the above, please make sure that no Supervisor or BIOS passwords are enabled, so you don't get locked out of the system. 
    Plug everything back and see how it goes.
    Good luck and let us know.

  • AE2280 - Cannot update BIOS

    I'm working on a Wind Top AE2280 that freezes in sleep mode occasionally, so I'm trying to update the BIOS - no luck.  Using this download: msi.com/service/download/bios-17021.html
    There are two folders, BIOS and EC.  Using a boot disk and trying to run flash.bat in the BIOS folder, I get the following error:
    PDR Region does not exist.
    Error 25: The host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area.  To enable write access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region.
    Also, running flashec.bat in the EC folder appears to work, but the version number in the BIOS does not change.  (Are these two separate BIOS components/flash images or just two different ways to update the BIOS?  Confused on this ...)
    Thanks for any help!

    Quote from: The CPU Whisperer on 14-October-13, 20:03:51
    First you'll have to check which bios your AIO is running now.
    Flashing the wrong BIOS & EC can permanently brick the device.
    If it's running on EC 1.xx you'll need to use bios 170Hi and EC 1.50
    If it's running on EC 3.xx you'll need to use bios 170St and EC 3.30
    Currently V1.30 BIOS, EC 1.10, so I'm on track here.

    There is a ME jumper which need to be removed to bypass the protection
    Makes sense, where is this jumper?  (Better still, where are the technical manuals for these?)
    The access panel for the miniPCIe slot shows two jumpers, assuming it is one of these since they are the only ones accessible without completely opening the machine.  Taking a closer look but so far I see no markings on the motherboard ...

  • MSI GE70, cannot update bios

    Hi, I've been struggling with keyboard lit in my GE70-2oe. Found out that I need to update my bios version. I downloaded and installed by Flashx64.bat this file E1757IMS.111.

  • Cannot update bios

    Hi HP.
    I have an HP Omni 27 1057c, running Windows 7 x64.  Bios AMI 7.09 (11/23/2012)
    Bios available 2013-01-07 , Version7.09 Rev. A, 4.21M
    I flash it, says successful, then I restart, and the Bios did not change.
    I also unplugged all usb's, turned of antivirus and firewall.
    The reason why I want to update is because of the graphic driver's constant crashing.
    Please help.

    Hello Mr. Banhien.
    I neglected to mention that I attempted three methods: through HP Download Assistant, by saving the file and running it from my computer, and through HP Support Assistant, which did not detect the Bios update but I manually found on the Drivers page for my detected product. Also, during these attempts I made sure that all usb's were disconnected, antivirus and firewall were closed.
    I have also read that it might be because I need to flash from USB; but this would be contrary to the suggestion to remove all usb items. I did not attempt this.
    You may find this interesting. I attempted to download the generic driver from Intel based on Graphics Card, Chipset and Motherboard. When I ran the file from my computer, my computer did not allow the installation of the generic driver. Please note, I did not uninstall the preinstalled gaphics driver.
    You may also find this interesting. I have two display softwares - HP My display and the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. I have also the following duplicate update found in my Windows Update History: Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 - Intel(R) HD Graphics. Do any of these pose a problem?
    Could you reassess my situation?
    Thank you.

  • Cannot update Bios through Live Update (Z77A-GD65)

    I've been trying to update the Bios from A.00 to A.B0.  I've tried it a few times but when I scan for updates it will always say that my current Bios is A.00 and the online version is A.B0.  I'm trying to get this update in the hope that it will fix my problem installing my new Graphic Card.

    Don't use LiveUpdate! If it tries updating your bios you have a high chance of bricking the board. Download bios versions from here or the product site and manually flash (and never in Windows).
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Download the compressed archive to your desktop but do not decompress.
    Select option 1 of the forum flash tool and point the tool an the compressed archive then follow the direction. After booting from the prepared USB stick afterwards it will flash your bios and ME extension.
    Once complete you will need to download and re-install the latest version of the Intel Management Engine Drivers.
