I have reset the BIOS, set defaults, cleared the battery etc but when I load BIOS 1.4 (from a 98SE an ME boot dish and even from the Live Update?
The only solution is to rebuild Windows after loading BIOS 1.4???
Help

Hi !
Well, I have that problem, too. I think the reason is a new RAID-BIOS-Version built in the BIOS-Update. I´ve tried the beta-versions V1.51 and V1.5X, too - but they won´t run anyway.
My WinXp hangs while booting (before the WINDOWS-XP-Logo appears, or while fading in...). I cannot reinstall Windows completely because, when I install the 2 raid-drivers, the installation routine hangs before the licensetext - when I don´t install the drivers i cannont install on the raid-drive (beacuase the installation routine shows 2 hdds).
I think, a new driver will solve this problem, but I don´t know where to find it....

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Yoga 2 Pro : BIOS Update on a clean Windows 8.1 Pro install

Hi,
I recently bought the Yoga 2 Pro. Like everybody I have the yellow problem.
After buying it, I reinstalled my computer with a fresh Windows 8.1 pro install.
I was wondering if anybody has already tried updating the BIOS on a clean Windows 8.1 install ?
And also if there is any reported bug with the BIOS update.
I already crashed a while back one of my previous computer and I would prefer if this don't append again
Thanks,
Best,

Not, i'm speaking about the BIOS update. The windows 8.1 pro installation was fine.

Updating bios in windows 8.1

I'm trying to install a new graphics card (gtx750ti) from ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1) and have updated power source to 750w. Turn pc on and no video, the pc is working but nothing on the monitor. Had the vid card tested on another machine it works fine, they suggested updating the bios. I'm hesitant to update as there is no windows 8.1 udate, any suggestions?

You will need to run the IPIBL-LB Motherboard BIOS v5.43 Update on Windows Vista or Windows 7. It is unlikely that the update will succeed when run on Windows 8 / 8.1. Additionally, this update doesn't address your issue and will not solve your problem.
The GTX 750 Ti graphics card is incompatible with your HP Pavilion a6652f Desktop Computer and its IPIBL-LB (Benicia) motherboard. Current generation graphics cards will not work with your computer and you will need to purchase a graphics card that is one generation old... such as the GTX 650 Ti / GTX 660 Ti.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Windows 2008 r2 Server: Cant update the group belonging

Hello,
I have a Windows 7 client computer which is administered by a Windows 2008 Server.
When I try to change the local grants of the user account in that client computer, it appears to me the following message:
"Cant update the group belonging for NameDomain\user"
As result I cant change local grants for the user. I cant change his status from administrator to user of that machine.
Can anybody tell me how can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. Did you mean that the issue exists after you removed
DameWare tools?
Please make sure that you have more than one administrator account on your computer, or you can't change it to a standard account since Windows requires at least one administrator account on a computer.
If you have another administrator account, you can try to use it to change the user’s account type.
Best regards,
Susie

Equium A110-276 BIOS update for 32-bit Windows 7

Hello all, I'd like to update the BIOS on my Equium A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and 'Windows Vista 32 Bit'. I have Windows 7 32-bit on this laptop. If I choose 'OS Independent' it warns me 'This Bios is NOT compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!' and if I choose 'Windows Vista 32 Bit' it reads 'This Bios is only compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!'
The exclamation marks are from Toshiba, not me ;)
So am I stuffed and need to stay with my current BIOS, or can I use the Windows Vista BIOS update?
Thanks to all who can help!

Hi Paolo30
I've been having some problems with the fan, and before I bring it in for repair I wanted to try all options. It appears to be seated/connected fine, the area around it is clean, I've done all of the fan-related troubleshooting I can except the last option which is to re-flash the BIOS which a number of people have had success with (with regards to the fan).
The original OS is Windows XP so I'd have to recover it back to XP and then re-update to Windows 7 and I'd rather have surgery than do that again! If it's not in the cards then it's a trip to the repair shop, I reckon. Thanks for responding!

Re: Portege R500 - How to update BIOS on Windows 7?

Hello,
I want to update the bios of my Portege R500 to the 1.6 version. It's a windows-update BIOS and when I launch it under Windows 7, I get the message:
[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed.
I have to reinstall XP in order to update the Bios? File name is P0058v160.exe. Does anyone know if BIOS update works in Virtualisation mode? I would install Sunbox VM, install XP and run the BIOS update. But will it work?
Does anyone has an idea?
Regards,
Roro

Hi
You cannot format the 32GB SHCI card because the card reader of R500 support only SDHC cards up to 8GB!
So even you will update the BIOS, the 32GB SDHC card will not be recognized
Back to your BIOS update question;
Since the BIOS is OS independent, the BIOS update should work using Win 7 too.
As far as I know some Toshiba tools are needed in order to start the BIOS update.
Using Win XP you need Common Modules installed.
Using Vista or Win 7 the VAP (value added package) should be installed.

Satellite A200-1DN - How to update BIOS for Windows 7

I'm running 32bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I've been having battery problems (plugged in, not charging) and I understand I need to update my BIOS. However I can't find a BIOS update for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.
Can anyone help? Should I update with the Vista BIOS? Are there any other options for solving this battery problem? I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before doing, try this:
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off
Remove the battery pack. Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
Re-insert the battery pack and plug the computer into the AC adapter
> I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
by the way, did you have the same issue before installing Win 7?

Updating G50-80 BIOS for Windows 10 64-bit

I have recently bought a G50-80 80E501LRIN model and I upgraded my OS from Windows 8.1 64-bit to Windows 10 64-bit. I want to update my BIOS to the latest version and have struck upon this link: http://support.lenovo.com/in/hi/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-80/downloads/DS102231 . Support for Windows 10 64-bit isn't mentioned anywhere on the page. But I've also noticed that softwares for Windows 8.1 64-bit work flawlessly in Windows 10 64-bit. Should I update my BIOS with this one or wait for a Windows 10 one specifically?

Disregard. I found that if you go into the BIOS, disable Wireless, boot up, shut down, boot into Bios, re-enable Wireless and boot back up, it solved the bluetooth issue.

Satelitte A110-180 - Update Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

Hello,
I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop Satelitte A110-180
* AHCI for SATA
* Disable IDE
But there are no such options.
So I thought maybe I have to update my bios.
I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NOT Windows vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.
Wich one I have to download, or is there an other option to change the settings?
Thank you!
Bart

Hi
Satellite A110 does not support such options (SATA AHCI).
The BIOS update will not help you!
Linux is not supported and therefore you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!
The both BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
Therefore if you are using OS other as Vista then you should take the OS independent BIOS update!
But like mentioned above; both options will not appear after BIOS update!

Error updating BIOS from Windows Vista: error -15. Satellite a215-s7437

I've tried to update the BIOS of this laptop which currently runs version 1.2, when the latest version is 2.0. When I run the BIOS update from Windows Vista, it fails with error code -15, with a message similar to "current BIOS checksum fail". The laptop was bought in Spain. Any ideas? The knowledge base was completely useless for this issue. Pedro.

Does the computer still work at this point?
