Need a BIOS flash boot disk for Satellite P100-240

I need to be able to flash my Satellite P100-240 from a bootable CD.
The only BIOS I can find on this site needs to be run from windows.
Ive seen BIOS 4.40 for P100 on other Toshiba sites, eg:
http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2115 524xml&sliceId=&dialogID=56504155&stateId=0%200%20 56506013
But not sure whether that is appropriate for P100-240.
They seem to be completely differently named. Not sure if thats a country based thing.
Will the BIOS in the link mentioned be ok to run on my p100-240??

Your notebook is NOT US series but European series and you have to use the BIOS from the Toshiba European driver page!
The wrong BIOS can damage the notebooks BIOS ROM module!!! And this would lead to the point where you wouldnt be able to boot the machine!!!
Therefore you should ALWAYS use the BIOS designed for this notebook series!!!
Furthermore you will not find any traditional BIOS updates on the Toshiba page!
There are only windows-based BIOS updates and you could update it ONLY from running windows OS.
If the notebooks BIOS cannot be updated from the Windows OS then you have to contact the Toshiba technician and have to ask for the help!!!
This is everything what you can do

  • How to make boot disk for MacBook Pro with Mavericks pre-installed

    Hi -
    I recently bought a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which came pre-installed with Mavericks (10.9.0).  I want to make a bootable USB disk of the system software, and have successfly used DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) to make the USB boot disks for Lion and Mountain Lion.  In those cases, however, I was running earlier versions of the OSX, and downloaded the new OSX version -- Lion and Mountain Lion -- from the App Store in order to make to make the disk.  In this case, however, Mavericks was pre-installed, and I was unable to download it from the App Store (an alert said that it couldn't be installed on this computer... presumably because it was already installed).  I would apprecite any suggestions as to how I can create the boot disk without the ability to download Mavericks.  Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide.
    Shelly

    Open App Store and locate the full installer download file (5.29 GBs) for 10.9.1. Download to your computer.
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
        2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
        3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    If the OS X 10.2 on the hard drive is/was bootable, try this -
    Restart or boot, then immediately press the X key, keep it held down until you know the machine has started to boot using OS X. This is a hardware instruction to the Mac to boot using the first usable instance of OS X it finds.
    Once booted to OS X, you should be able to move OS 9's System file into OS 9's System Folder.
    Note - in general, unless you know for sure what you are doing and that the results are desired, do not relocate or rename files in OS 9's System Folder or in OS X's System or Library folders.

  • How to create a Lion boot disk for Lion on a MBPRD?

    I have a unique version of Lion on my MBPRD.  How do I create a Lion Boot Disk for this unique version?

    Why is it a Unique version of Lion? The only versions of Lion are ones for older Macs, Before the Mid 2012 models came out, and a version that includes the newer drivers for the newest model Macs, Current shipping Mid 2012 models.
    If you are talking about a version for the new Mid 2012 models then you will need to wait for Apple to update their Lion Download servers because right now they do not have the newest Lion version available on those servers.

  • How can I get a boot-disk for a Compaq P2500 laptop Windows XP Home Edition?

    I'm already in another forum with a eerily similar question, but that's for the HP Media Center Pavilion m8000e desktop system (Windows Vista Home Premium) I was just given; I've ordered a new hard drive for that. I assume the directions to create a boot disk with the *.iso file (using Imgburn) is going to work; I have the 25-digit code for that.
    This question here now is for my wife's older Compaq P2500 2596US laptop running Windows XP Home Edition. This too needs a new hard drive, but I also am missing the boot disc for this; I do have the 25-digit product code.
    How can I get a boot disk for this laptop? I tried the Ubuntu method outlined in a few posts; geez, what a headache ... never could get it managed. Does HP not make any boot disks available? Microsoft told me to check with HP.
    I can furnish the product code; model #; serial# ... gee, maybe the oroginal receipt is even laying around somewhere ...
    I need a boot disk to get the new hard drive up on board (if I end up ordering that).
    Thanks for any help!

    You should just be able to erase it using Disk Utiilty. I did with my 8Gb.
    If not I have a USB deep format tool, but it only works with Windows: http://tinyurl.com/mwor6s9
    You can download that and unzip it, then run it on a PC to fully erase and format the flash drive. Format it in FAT, and then the Mac will read and mount it so you cna once again format it with HFS extended for Mac use.

    Hi mate
    As far as I know Toshiba European driver page does not provide any details what has been changed in the BIOS.
    But I found some details on Toshiba US page.
    It seems that Fn+N+1/2/3/4 debug function has been removed in BIOS 2.0 to avoid keyboard abnormal behavior.

  • Buying a boot disk for p6130y

    Where and how do I buy a boot disk for my computer? We can find the manual, but cannot find the disk. The HP website is confusing and their customer service is less than helpful.
    Thank you.

    Hi:
    I'm assuming by boot disk, you want a system recovery disk for your PC?
    I cannot find that product number anywhere.
    Please take a look at this guide to finding your product number or use the tool on the second link (if you can still use the PC) to see if it identifies it for you:

  • Can't use new external TV as a monitor for my Satellite P100-240

    Hi
    I have connected my Toshiba to a new Panasonic LCD 32" via a VGA cable.
    When The computer boots up, I get the standard Toshiba opening page and then the Windows XP opening on the TV monitor, but then nothing while my laptop boots up.
    When fully booted, I get the same desktop as the Toshiba on my TV BUT no icons etc, just the desktop.
    If I change the screensave on the Toshiba, it changes on the TV so I am getting a connection.
    Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
    I have tried the usual things (e.g. checking box for extend my desktop onto this monitor)

    Who knows why the FN keys dont work on the Satellite P100-240 PSPA3E.
    Maybe the drivers and the utility were muddled up!
    If you use the original Toshiba image on this notebook then everything should works ok!
    You could try to refresh for example the Hotkey Utility which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
    Furthermore the NVidia Geforce manager (you can find it in the control panel) provides different settings. Check this!

  • Forgot User Password for Satellite P100-313

    Hi@all,
    i forgot the user password for Satellite P100-313. Can i remove the password without professional help. Please help me.
    bye

    Hi Megaton,
    Assuming you have not set an Administrator password in Windows XP, you can change your personal user password (even if it is the only one that appears when you normally start Windows) as follows:
    Start your laptop in Safe Mode by pressing F8 after the Toshiba screen, and choosing Start In Safe Mode from the menu.
    When Windows starts and shows the logon screen, there should be an extra account called Administrator. Unless you have previously set a password for this "hidden" account, there will be no password and you should be able to log in just by choosing this account and pressing Enter.
    Once in, go to Control Panel and open User Accounts. Now choose the account that you forgot the password to, and a new window will open with various options including Change Password. Choose yourself a new password and restart the computer normally.
    When Windows restarts, you should notice that the Administration account is once again not shown, however, you should be able to log in to your personal account using your new password.
    I hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

  • Games won't run above 1024 x 768 on Satellite P100-240

    I have a Satellite P100-240 with geforce 7900gs 512mb graphics, running xpmc, games run fine however they will not run above 1024 x 768.
    The native resolution is 1400 x 900 but the scaling feature does not seem to work. If i try to run anyhing above 1024 it eithers goes to a default value like 640x480 or the i can only see part of the image (like the rest if off screen) is there anything i can do?
    My old P10 used to just scale image to fit the wide screen.

    Hi
    To be honest I dont think that this is a notebook problem.
    As far as I know the screen resolution can be changed in the games setup.
    This fact applies to all games which I have played.
    But there is no harm to try a graphic driver update.
    You could try to use an nVidia driver from the www.laptopvideo2go.com site
