How to install latest BIOS on Tecra M2

How do I install the latest BIOS P000Bv160 on a M2. the instructions on the toshiba BIOS install say to use a floppy disk but the file size is 1.48MB so will not fit on a 1.44MB floppy. can I use a usb stick?

You are wrong buddy! You have to use "Procedure 1"
Check this:
[How do I update the BIOS on my Toshiba Notebook and where can I get the latest BIOS for my machine?|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS&FID=TRO0000000b07]
There you can find this statement:
+Prior to upgrading the BIOS please ensure the following:+
+- Notebook is undocked.+
+- Notebook is connected to the mains.+
+- Notebook must be in boot mode and not resume mode.+
+- Remove any PC Cards.+
+For the current range of Notebooks Toshiba offers two different BIOS update procedures.+
+*1. Windows based update: BIOS is updated from within Windows.*+
+2. Traditional update: BIOS is updated using a diskette or CD-ROM when booting.+
+*We recommend to update the BIOS from within Windows*+
+_1. Windows based BIOS update:_+
+1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.+
+2. Make sure that all open files are saved and all applications are closed.+
+3. Execute the extracted *.exe file in the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen.+
+4. The BIOS update will be done automatically.+
+5. After a few minutes the Notebook will restart automatically.+
I think it should be clear!

Satellite A350 - error when installing latest Bios (64bit OS)

I can't figure out what is wrong: I'm trying to install the latest bios, bios-20090803144625 (64bit), on a Statellite 350 running Windows 7 RC. I get the following error from "Phoenig WinPhlash64": "Failed to receive system Bios information BCPSYS block signature was not found. Error code: -100"
I have also tried the 32bit installer without any luck.
I have tried to install in safe mode, but the installer will only run in "normal mode".
Any suggestions?

I believe you need to install the Value Added Package so the BIOS file can detect the hardware properly.

Errors Installing Latest BIOS on S12

I wanted to put the latest BIOS on my new IdeaPad S12. I went to consumersupport.lenovo.com and downloaded the BIOS for an 2959-54U with Intel processor. The site directed me to download a file called 20CN23WW.exe. When I try to install it I get a message WFlash Error "Model Id check error!". I tried to download again and got the same file and error. The system came preinstalled with BIOS 19CN21WW. Why are we getting this error? It seems that I got the wrong BIOS? But I tried everything, carefully multiple times. Any help would be appreciated.

How to install latest Firefox on CentOS or RHEL

I wanted to install latest version of FireFox on my CentOS box as it wont get updated of the latest version.
Step by step guidance is appreciated.

Sorry but CentOS 5 is essentially outdated due to using packages that are from over years ago. The last version to perhaps work is Firefox 3.6.18 without doing dependency installs if possible like at http://warped.org/blog/2011/03/29/firefox4_redhat_5/
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
This is the downside of using a LTS Linux distro as they choose to stay with old stable packages versus being more up to date.

How to install grub-bios on arch linux during installation?

Hi
While going through wiki i have seen
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/csda
but i386 seems to be strange for me..Since i am using 64 bit system.
How should i modify the command to match for 64 bit installation?

It's legacy terminology, or perhaps it refers to the BIOS, not your OS. I presume it means "i386, not Motorola RISC" or something; grub goes way back. Look at the files in the 64-bit package -- they all refer to "usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/" and so on. I've installed grub2 on my 64-bit system according to the wiki instructions and it boots just fine, GPT and all.

How to Install Latest SB Live Drivers Onto New Install of

I upgraded to a new motherboard and CPU and have just installed a fresh new copy of Windows XP on the machine. I haven't plugged it in yet, but I will be installing a SB Li've Value CT4830.
In preparation for installing this card, I tried to download the latest drivers, but the web site says that in order to install the latest driver, I must already have the driver from July 2002 installed.
Where can I get the July 2002 driver? It can't be on my original CD since I bought the card before 2002.
I am trying to do a minimal install of drivers, and do not need or want to install any non-essential appliction software, unless its necessary to get surround sound.
If it matters, XP Service Pack 2 is installed.Message Edited by anthonyanthony on -25-2004 02:25 PM

Bif
Same thing here with me. I recently got a new system but kept my Soundblaster
card (Li've Platinum 5.) and with it a fresh install of XP SP2. I knew I would
have to use the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe driver update because the origi-
nal CD could not be used (same as you). So I was doing a fresh install of the
Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe with no pre-existing Soundblaster stuff installed (save
for the XP Soundblaster drivers).
So here is what happened:
* ran Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe; did the typical install
* sound is ok -- however, I ran the diagnostics and the mixer, soundfonts, and
one other one (the last item, forgot which one it was) failed
* tried to start the mixer to verify the mixer failure and the familiar "CTDevcon.dll
has failed" message came up
I have had this happen to me before in trying to install the Li'veDrvUni-Pack and I did
manage to get everything working again but I forget how. I believe it involved running
the CTzapxx program which I did try but XP keeps on putting in the default Sound-
blaster drivers after rebooting. I think this might be the problem (the fact that the
default drivers keep on getting installed) but I can't remember how to get around it.

Award BIOS Flash Procedure
(Special Thanks to Forum Moderator Bas for his valuable contribution)
1. Check your BIOS for BIOS FLASH DISABLED and ENABLE it, some boards have this function.
For Example:
K7N420 Pro (MS-6373) – BIOS setup/Integrated Peripherals/BIOS Protect/Disabled
2. Know Your model number
a. Open your case and look for the MS-XXXX number on the motherboard between the PCI slots, also check the version number that is written there as well. (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number)
b. Boot up your system & take a look at the top left screen during POST, you should see something like “W6373MS v2.1 122101” This means the board is MS-6373 with BIOS version 2.1
Hint: Many systems are clearing this message very fast, the bios version is then unreadable, you can either press “PAUSE” or disable the “Quick Boot” in the BIOS setup.
3. Download the BIOS that matches your motherboard AND version number (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number). BIOS can be found according to the CPU type of your board like if your CPU is Intel P4 478 type then look here

For Win9X, You can type [C:\ format a:/s] from the DOS prompt.
For WinMe, You can make a boot floppy from control panel--> add/remove program-->make boot floppy. Remove autoexec.bat & config.sys file if there's any.
For Win2000, there's no way to make boot floppy, so you have to either use Win9X or WinME boot floppy.
For WinXP, you can make a DOS boot disk. Go to Your Computer, right click drive A:, select Format, select copy system files.
7. When you get the A:\ prompt, type the following sequence:

4.Extract the file you have downloaded to a floppy (not the win ME/98 startup floppy) by double clocking the file in windows mode and supplying the path a:\
5.Boot the computer using a windows ME or windows 98 startup disk. It must be one of these! A plain boot disk will not be good enogh.
If you do not have Windows ME or 98 to create the floppy you can make one on a friend's computer.
6.When boot is done there will be a message on the screen showing :"Diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive" followed by a single letter.
This letter is the leter assigned to the RAMDRIVE. This RAMDRIVE is a virtual drive in the system memory and can be accessed and controlled like any other drive with DOS commands such as:
MD - Make Directory
Copy - copy a file
Deleate - Deleate a file
There is one important difference which is that being in the system memory this drive is wiped once the computer is restarted or shut down.
7.Replace the startup floppy with the one containing the flash utility and bios ROM files previously extracted in windows.
8.Copy the 2 files to the RAMDRIVE by using the DOS command copy.
Here is an example, in this example the flash utility is AWFL814B.EXE ,the ROM file is w6373nms.220 and the RAMDRIVE letter assignment is D
copy awfl814b.exe d:\
copy w6337nms.220 d:\
9.Change the current working directory to the RAMDRIVE root directory, with the example case of the RAMDRIVE being drive D this is done by simply done with the command d:
10.Execute the flash utility with the ROM file as a command line argument, with this example:
awfl814b w6373nms.220
If you wish to save the current bios you must specify the full path a:\filename. Specifying only a file name will save the bios to the RAMDRIVE which will be wiped after restarting the computer and the file will not be saved.
a:\bios.old is an example of the correct way to save the bios.
11.Reboot your system when prompted
12. If your system doesn't boot after you flashed, please refer to the BIOS recovery method as described

How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

What are you naming the folder?
Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
Do not get this:
You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

HOW TO: Install LATEST ATI CATALYST drivers

So ATI/AMD doesn't consistently update the "BootCamp" drivers and as a gamer I want utmost performance out of what I have (of course without OCing). Therefore, I went searching for a solution and found it and I will explain it here, step by step. Forgive me if this has already been posted. Note that I did this in XP and NOT Vista.
1. Download the latest CATALYST drivers from here:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
2. Open the driver software as if you were going to install it and let it extract to its default directory. Take note of what that directory is as you will need to know that file path for later. Once it extracts it will move on to an installation. Stop/cancel the installation the first chance you get.
3. REMOVE your currently installed ATI drivers. There are two ways to do this:
-1. If you downloaded the actually CATALYST Software Suite, there will be a program in the folder to where it extracted called "AtiCimUn" that will remove your drivers.
-2. Google "remove ATI drivers" and I think it's the first link that tells you a detailed step by step method of removing the drivers.
4. Restart after successfully removing the drivers.
5. Download MobilityModder here: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
-If you scroll closer to the bottom of that page, there will be a download link AND instructions for the PROPER method of installing MobilityModder.
6. Run MobilityModder
7. Browse to the directory where the drivers are installed.
8. Click "Modify"
9. When the modification is complete, close MobilityModder and Right Click on "My Computer" then click on Properties
10. Click the "Hardware" tab
11. Click on Device Manager
12. At least one device should have a yellow circle with a black question mark in it. For me, Windows saw it as a "VGA Controller". Right click it and click "Update Drivers"
13. It will ask you some stuff about if you want Windows Update to look for drivers, say "No not this time" and click next
14. Select "Install from a list or specific location{Advanced) and click next
15. Select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install"
16. Click on the "Have Disk" button
17. Browse to the folder where the ATI drivers were extracted to (MobilityModder will have rewritten the modified files to the same location)
18. The specific file you are looking for is a Configuration file whose icon looks like a white notepad with a yellowish cog that has some metal rod going through it. Click on it and click "open"
19. At this point Windows should recognize which card you have specifically, if not, it will have the entire list of cards that driver can update. If you run into that, just find it in the list.
20. Let windows copy the files, if it tells you that the drivers are not digitally signed, say "continue anyway". It's just an effect of the MobilityModder modifying the files and since it doesn't have a certificate, it's not considered signed.
21. When it's done click finish.
22. Restart
23. Happy new drivers
I'm thinking you might be able to skip the MobilityModder part and just skip straight to directing Windows right to where the drivers are instead of having to mod the files. I'm not sure if it works because I haven't done it but you're welcome to try. If it doesn't work it just means you have to use MobilityModder.
I hope this helps.

Update: After using the method described above the drivers did install successfully however, when I loaded some games I noticed that they did not take up the whole screen. No amount of changing the resolution solved the problem.
So I completely removed the drivers and loaded unmodified drivers. I had to find my x1600 from the list and there were actually two but I just took the first one. I let Windows copy the files after warning that it can't confirm they were for my hardware. After a restart I tried my games again and they were taking up the whole screen as they did when I had BootCamps outdated drivers.
So I can say that you CAN skip steps 5-9 (the steps for the mobility modding). You'll just have to find your drivers and some of them do show up multiple times. I'm probably going to try the other x1600 listing just to see what happens. I'm not sure if there's a difference between the same listings (mine was Radeon x1600 followed by another Radeon x1600) but I'm assuming there is or else ATI would put so many >.<

Your version is 1.XX and according to MSI, you cannot update to ver 3.XX and that's why you get the Invalid format message.

How to install latest video drivers on Bootcamp?

Currently running bootcamp on Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp 4.0. The video driver that I need is the latest driver for the Nvidia 9600M GT. My software updates (Apple) on Windows 7 state that I have available updates. It's not possible with this graphics card to install the latest driver through Nvidia's website the easy way due to it stating I need to contact my manufacturer. This is a dangerous loop, and I know my driver is old for my GPU because my driver says it's from 1/19/2011. In addition to that, the games that I play on Windows 7 also state that my drivers are out of date.
Thanks!
Zach

Have posted this over and over again. TAKE A LOOK.
You have to install Apple chipset to enable the device. Can't see it. Nviidia won't auto detect a Mac ever, unless you have a PCIe card you install of course and easy to swap out (Mac Pro tower).
After you install Apple BC drivers, guess what? uninstall the nvidia device driver adn program and use Driver Sweeper 3.2 to deep clean, and may as well run CCleaner 3.x as well (Registry tool also).
Same for audio but that goes a lot easier (Realtek or Cirrus drivers).
