How can I Install BIOS Upgrade without windows installed

Hi Guys,
I want to Install BIOS Upgrade for Lenovo 3000 N100. The problem is i have a brand new hard drive, so i want to install it on command line after booting the system from bootable CD.
I have found all the BIOS updates on Lenovo site are Installer Packeges which runs on windows.
I am stuck, any help will be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ashik

I am Trying to update the BIOS on my G530-35U to 6get18ww (currently 6get17ww). I did not automatically install when I run the file 6get18ww, maybe because I did not have the battery in place (I forgot) all it did was to put all it's 17 files (BIOS.wph, mfc42.dll, ... winphlash.gid, etc.) in C:\DRIVERS\BIOS\6get18ww.
Are those files the ones you are talking about it?
Actually I will copy all but those txt files into a CD and I will try to boot from it.
otherwise I will just copy large size executable file BIOS.WPH other?
I will report here if I don't forget.
thanks

  • BIOS upgrading without windows

    Recently I have purchased HP Pavilion g6-1118tx Notebook PC. I swiched it from  windows 7 to linux(ubuntu).
    But for each bootup i getting "thermal shutdown occured,..bla bla...". I really disappointed to see this issue from world class vendor like hp. i found BIOS upgradation will solve this issue, but BIOS update is only avilable in windows 7 executable.
    It is really annoying and un acceptable. I need proper answer from hp regarding this. Else i need replacement.
    regards
    Arun

    Hi, Arun:
    Unfortunately, HP is not going to do a thing regarding your request as they only support your notebook for Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit.
    You elected to install Linux, which is your prerogative, but that isn't HP's problem.
    The BIOS flashes are only writtten for windows 7, and even if you try to extract the actual flash files out of the download, I don't think they will work.
    If you want to update the BIOS, you will need to reinstall the supported operating system.

  • Install CS4 upgrade without CS3 installed?

    Hello,
    I'm moving all my production software from XP pro SP3 to a new Vista Untimate SP1 machine. Nothing is installed on the Vista yet, I just received my CS4 production prem upgrade suite, can I just install CS4 on the Vista machine without installing CS3 first since this is an upgrade version?
    thanks.
    Don

    I have installed the cs4 upgrade but it requested for my cs3 serial #. Now I don't know if the cs3 is still useful or I can' t install it on another coputer again . Or will I still need it in the future parhaps my coputer crached and I want to reinstall all the soft ware. Will I need cs3 again before I can install cs4 upgrade.
    Thanks, Emma

  • I submitted my information into the 'uptodate' program to download Lion OSX and it verified that I was able to get the upgrade but then nothing happened. How can I get the upgrade without having to pay for it?

    When I tried to go back through and do it again, it gives me and error that says that my serial number has already been registered to the uptodate program and it wont allow me to continue any further. Is there a place I can go in my computer to find it and start the download? I got all the way to the point where I submitted my purchase (for free) and then as soon as I did that, nothing started...

    Is this for a new MacBook Pro? If you are entitled to a free upgrade, but are having trouble with the Mac App Store and can't download Lion, call Applecare and explain the situation and see if they can help you. It's always possible that the Mac App Store has been extra busy lately and for some reason may not have processed your request properly.
    First, though, check in your applications folder to be sure that the installer isn't already there. It's called "Install Mac OS X LIon.app". Step one is to download the installer. Step two is to run it. It will vanish from your Application folder after it runs, so if you want to make a copy of the installer, make one before you run it.
    Good luck!

  • How do we install the upgrade on windows if if we have acrobat 8 to start with?

    Hi WE have Acrobat 8 pro and wish to upgrade to our new OS windows 7 by purchasing Acrobat X pro but obviously we can't install and run Acrobat 8 on windows 7 so how do we install the upgrade without first installing the earlier version?

    Our Acrobat 8 is an upgrade version for version 7 which we have also.  Its a business and we have been upgrading for years.  But changing the OS has caused a big problem for us as older software that has been upgraded over the years will not install.
    So will the version 8 Serial number still work?

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

  • I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade

    I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

    Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
    So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
    So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
    I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
    What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

  • I upgraded Safari in my Mac (10.6.8 Leopard) but the new version does not work with my system so that I now have not a working browser. How can I solve the problem and/or install back my previous Safari version?

    I have upgraded Safari in my Mac, but the new Safari does not work with my system. So I find myself without any working browser. How can I solve this problem and/or install my previous Safari version?

    Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
    But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
    While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.

  • How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp

    How can I create a new partition to install Windows 7 by not using Bootcamp?

    If you want to dualboot you have to use boot camp i think. I think you have already a full disc and cannot make another partition I'm I right?
    Your question seems a bit blurry so I'm giving you a general tip here.
    If you want to just try the beta you can always use Sun's "Virtualbox".

    I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.
