BIOS doesnt recognize SATA connected Hard Drive- need help flashing bios from bootable USB

hi
I have an envy laptop running InsydeH20 bios rev f14.
the bios doesn't recognize the internally connected hdd/ssd.
I have heard that with insyde bios', sometimes you have to unlock 'secret capabilities' to recognize hardware incl internal hdd.
but I am just trying to reflash my bios.
the problem is that I cant get into windows because it doesn't recognize my hard drive and windows doesn't allow insallation to usb connected drives.
I downloaded the patch from hp.com for my product and it actually has an option for making a bootable USB for use on the actual system, and I did this. the instructions are to just restart my computer with the bootable usb. I have tried Legacy support on and off, neither updates bios.
I highly doubt it has anything to do with the physical sata connector.
basically I need to flash my bios from bootable usb. I have done some research about making a bootable dos usb etc etc but I don't know what program to even run and how..
this is a link to my product:

hi
I need to flash the bios of my system. the bios is not recognizing hardware and cannot boot into windows to run the bios flash for windows.

cannot run on my laptop. tried booting from the media. tried allowing 'legacy' compatibility.
im running insydeH2O rev f14 right now.

Need help FLASH not launching and not uninstalling "licensing for this product has stopped working".

Need help FLASH not launching and not uninstalling "licensing for this product has stopped working" and " you can only install one adobe product at a time please complete the other installation" Flash was working absolutely fine before, I have no idea why this happened.

I am having similar problem. Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message. So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader. These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working". Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days. Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help. What is up with adobe support? Can anyone help?

Do I need to flash bios P7N SLI platinum CPU upgrade from E8200 to QX9650?

Hi everybody,
just registered and new to this forum. Just want to ask if anybody here have any idea if there are compatablity issues and do I need to flash BIOS of my M/B whenever I upgrade my CPU from E8200 to QX9560? my rig specs are listed below:
CPU - E8200 core 2 Duo (planning to upgrade to QX9560)
M/B - MSI P7N SLI Platinum
RAM - 4 X 1g DDR2 800mhz Kingston
PSU - 1000w Coolermaster
VGA - 2 x Nvidia GTX285 (SLIED)
DVD/R/W - 2
Any suggestions and recommendation are very much appreciated.
Thank you,
znarf

Do you really mean QX9560? I can't seem to find it on the motherboard's support list.
If you meant the QX9650, it says it requires BIOS v1.0, which it should have already come with. Check out in CPU-Z what BIOS version you currently have.
Here's the CPU support list: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1373&maincat_no=1

I Need Help in BIOS Update!!!

Hey!! i got the 875p Neo LSR motherboard and the BIOS version that i currently have or got with my board was 1.4 and the LIVE Update 3 says the online version is 1.7. There was something to do with Flash BIOS or something and i tried it and my PC would not reboot. So i had to format my HDD and install Windowns again and it did work. That was another pc and i got the same board on my 2nd pc and i downloaded all the appropraite updated BIOS files from the Link given in another Thread on the forum so I was wondering if anyone could guide me through of how to install the new BIOS files, as i downloaded the 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 ones, since i dont wanna end up with a dead board!! I am a newbie so pls help me out ppl !! Thank alot for ur cooperation!! )

Need Help After BIOS Flash

I have a Z68A-GD65 G3. Some backstory: I bought a GTX 970, got a B2 error so I found a thread on these forums on how to fix it which involved new BIOS firmware. Flashed the BIOS, no errors everything successful and was prompted to restart (Y/N), hit Y.
Now here is where I realize I've made a huge mistake. The BIOS I installed was https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=luq7dfipftb2g7c5kgdhe514g7&topic=166084.0 I very poorly assumed the Z68A covered all models in that range but it is referring to Z68A-G43. Essentially I installed BIOS meant for a different board.
The symptoms:
When I press power everything spins up then less than 1 second later everything turns off except the LED on the board's power button (inside the case). There are no beeps and no POST.
What I have tried:
- Different PSU
- Reset CMOS via battery removal and rear I/O panel button
- Removed everything except CPU and its fan.
I am looking for any help whatsoever, any suggestions welcome.

Hi
Sad news: motherboard is bricked in 99%. Ask local IT services if they can flash it for you (SPI programmer is needed) or speak to MSI : >>How to contact MSI.<<

Need help Flashing to MSI's new Bios revsion for the MSI GT70 0NC

MSI just came out with a new bios revision for the MSI GT70 0NC I was wanting to know which bios revision is for my MSI notebook?

Hello again my friend, yes it's me again. Here's a screenshot from our last bios flash you helped me out with. Remember I have Windows 8 and still used the MSI flashing tool because I have the older MSI GT70 0NC So I was wanting to know which of the new ones I can obtain and download for my notebook again.

Need help flashing 865PE Neo2 BIOS

I recently bought a MSI 865PE Neo2-S and it came with the 1.2 Bios, I can't get a good overclock from this bios, and when I use corecenter to raise the FSB to 250 at 5:4 ratio it shows 3000 mhz but I see no changes in WCPUID etc, so I decided to flash to the 1.52 BIOS, i've already got it here but I hear you can use a flasher instead of doing the old floopy, dos thing
I downloaded LiveUpdate3 but it will flash my BIOS to 1.4 and I just want to install 1.52
I did a quick search around the forums and didn't find much about it, any help would be appreciated

First of all I suggest that you install LIVE MONITOR and LIVE UPDATE utilities. Secondly, get yourself a new floppy disk. Allow utility to go online and retrieve updates for your product. After that the utilty will tell you what it found. follow directions to the T and install any NEW DRIVERS BEFORE YOU DO ANY FLASHING!!! Reboot new drivers run utility (LIVE-UPDATE)and choose BOIS and start. I recomend you select DOS option over WINDOWS option FOLLOW DIRECTIONS IT WILL PROMPT YOU.. DO NOT!! REBOOT!! UNTIL PROMPTED!! GOOD LUCK! Sean Reilly875

Need help flashing nf980 g65 bios

I just put together the NF980-G65 with a 6 core AMD processor. From what I understand it doesn't support the 6 cores unless I flash it to the latest BIOS update. It won't let me install Windows 7 or XP so I'm trying to use mflash. I downloaded the zip and extracted it onto a usb drive that's formatted with fat32. Then in the BIOS when I try to do the update it can't find the file. It only shows partition 0, previous folder, or media folder. For some reason it won't find the update. I have tried everything I can think of, also using a different usb drive. Please help.

It won't let me install Windows 7 or XP
What do you mean by that?

Please avoid using Mflash for now... and lets sort out the first issue first, by answering the first question.

Need help flashing my BIOS

I just tried to flash the BIOS on my MSI Z87-G43 mb but I was unsuccessful. I was trying to use the M-Flash capability in the BIOS but when I tried to save my current BIOS to the USB flash drive I got the message that no USB key was found and to please plug in a USB key and try again. I decided to skip saving the current BIOS and just flash the new BIOS and the same message appeared. I tried the USB socket on the front of my case, the USB 2.0 socket on the MB I/O panel and the USB 3.0 socket on the MB I/O panel. None of them worked.
The USB flash drive is just a generic 1 GB flash drive. Prior to the attempts, I used the option to "Load Optimized Defaults" or whatever it is called. Within the BIOS, I used the "Board Explorer" option and I was able to "see" my USB flash drive on the Board Explorer.
What is the trick to getting the MB to see my USB flash drive during M-Flash?

Never known that to happen before. Here is a possible recovery method;

Help: flashing BIOS

Hello to u all again! :-)
I've finally understand that my 875P Neo need a BIos upgrade. In fact, from the Bios Release History from MSI seems that older versions of 875P's Bios were afflicted by errors in monitoring temperature sensors.
This seems to be a problem not only for me, but also for many others 875P Neo's owners.
The problem, now:
I've got an ATA133 Hard disk, connected to the ATA133 connector. I realized that ATA133 is competence of the RAID/S-ATA controller on board, and that's the problem.
In order to assure a secure flash operation, I should start from a boot floppy disk, and then look on the Hard Disk to find the flash utility and the bios file.
MSI recommends not to flash directly from floppy, and that's the main prob.
Here I sum up the problems related with the bios upgrade;
- I cannot create a boot disk, using Windows 2000 Professional (NTFS). ;(
- I used another boot disk (I presume it was made with Win98SE), but then I cannot see my hard disk, I don't know why, maybe because it is a NTFS partition, but most probably because without any RAID driver, the boot disk cannot see the presence of the HD. 8o
How should I flash in security my bios? Please help me! :D
Thanks a lot boyz!
Matteo

First of all, thanks for your attention.

No you cannot see NTFS from DOS. Either way that is not relevant since even if it was FAT you would likely not see the drive on the IDE3 as it requires promise drivers to even see the volume regardless of the volume\'s file table format.
As I supposed... X(

Another option, if you have Nero Burning ROM is to make a bootable Cd-ROM with the BIOS files on it. When it asks for boot files, use your boot floppy in A:\\ drive to allow Nero to make the disk bootable. then you can add files to the boot CD-ROM too!
Yes, this is another very easy solution too!
But, in order to do this dangerous operation in safety, i'd like to take a backup of the current (1.20) version of my Bios.
If I use a cd i can't backup bios current version. Or not?!?
Quote
I use a boot CD-ROM and a CF flash card (USB Legacy must be set to ALL DEVICES in the BIOS) that has ALL bios versions on it, so I can choose what version I want when I want.
That's a very nice solution... But can you access to the Compactflash reader with the only Boot Cd?
I think that I'll use the method described in the MSI page about non FAT systems, using a boot disk and ramdrive.
Seems to be the safest solution.
Thanks again!

Need to Flash BIOS on 3000 N100 (0768-04U)

System will not boot to Windows (Vista) which is what came on this PC. Current BIOS version installed is 63ET62WW which is v1.08. How can I flash it without windows? I want to flash to 63af08us which I believe is v3.12.
I've tried using the Start Up Recovery disk and it takes about 2.5 - 3 hrs to load disk 1 but it never comes back and asks for disk 2 or 3 which I have. Using Rescue and Recovery Version 4.
This pc is for a friend of mine who is home for 28 days from Iraq and I need to get it fixed before he goes back.
Please help if you can.
Thanks

Ah....now I understand your dilemma.
Your behavioral description would make me think generic drive corruption or malware.
Sounds like you're thinking along the same lines and were going for a 'nuke and repave' strategy.
I'm wondering if the problem with the 3rd party util may be that, like XP, they lack sata awareness on their own without loading a driver first, as XP does via the F6 option.
How is the drive controller set in the bios?
If it's set to sata, you could try setting it to ahci instead, then see if you can delete partitions.
I'm less than optimistic though, since I would assume that the restore disks would have this functionality natively.
I had a similar issue recently with a desktop.
After nuking the partitions, I still couldn't get through an XP install.
It would huff and puff, start being unable to find files on pristine cd, and eventually choke.
At that point I started stripping cards and devices out of the box to no avail.
Finally grabbed a linux disk and ran mem test.
To my joy, it started spewing massive errors.
Replaced the faulty mem module and all was well.
With a laptop, there isn't much to yank, but have you tried tossing a different drive in as a test?
If you put another drive in, have the bios set to ahci, and boot from an xp disk and it still glitches, then that at least eliminates malware as the boot culprit.
My local shop has notebook sata drives from $60 on up, so if you can't borrow one from work, it would at least be an inexpensive part.
I know NC is also a tech hub, so you probably have similar prices there.
I mentioned removing the nic as an option because I wasn't sure why you wanted to flash, and the readme for the bios update does reference a potential no-boot situation caused by a broadcom wifi chipset. I figure this is unlikely to be your issue though, as I would have expect such a problem to be either sporadic, or to have existed out of the box.
While it's internal to the laptop, it's a mini-pci card and is removable, though I don't recommend it without specific justification.
Removing the card is fine - but I've seen a lot of people screw up the little hirose connectors that attach the antenna leads to the card. They just aren't made for repeated insertions, though they'll do fine a few times if you're careful. If you want to try that, just be careful, and leaves the wires attached to the card when removing it. There isn't a lot of play in the leads, but there should be enough to get the card out of the slot.
Bios corruption is pretty rare, but anything can happen.
[Oh, another thought. You could slap the notebook drive in an external usb enclosure ($15-20 part), attach it to another pc, and the run utils on it to check the health of the drive.]

Need help with bios for k9n sli v2(ms-7390)

Everything runs fine, except for now I can't change the CPU multiplier or CPU voltage(there locked on auto). Yes I do know about +/- and pgup/pgdn, the problem is it won't allow me to even select these options, it skips right over them to the next option. My motherboard is K9N SLI V2(Ms-7390). If anyone could help me out I'd be grateful thanks.

Need Help! Bios file for Compaq SR2010NX

Hello all, I'm looking for the original bios file for the SR2010NX. HP doesn't have it on their website and my computer won't boot correctly with it. ahhhhhh. I appreciate any help!!!
Thanks John

According to what I found, that has this motherboard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00757470&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=323...
Which is a A8M2N-LA Naos-GL6, is this that what you have? And what BIOS are you looking for, or should I say what did you try to put on it?
I happen to have the same motherboard on an old Compaq, so I could possibly exctact the BIOS file if it is the one you are looking for. It showes 3.00 I beleive but I will check if you need the info.
