Re: How to make a Bios downgrade?

Hello,
I have made a Bios upgrade (2.30) but now, avid media composer don't work....
How can i do a bios downgrade?
Thanks.

Hi
To DOWNgrade a BIOS you will need an previous and traditional BIOS version.
Such BIOS is not available for download.
Only the newest win based BIOS is available for download.
So this means that only Toshiba authorized service provider would be able to downgrade the BIOS.
But I dont think that new BIOS version is the reason for the issue with avid media composer.
What problem do you have exactly?

how to make a bios recovery usb?

Hi!
You can download new BIOS versions on the Toshiba website. Search for your model and select BIOS update
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
Download the right file and follow these instructions:
Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
Make sure that all open files are saved and all applications are closed.
Execute the extracted *.exe file in the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen.
The BIOS update will be done automatically.
After a few minutes the Notebook will restart automatically.

How do I Recover BIOS No Diplay After Failed Bios Update?

Compaq Presario F768WM
Bios before 30EAF05
Was updating to 30EAF0A
I've tryed to do a boot with HP-Tools recovery UEFI USB but am not sure what to put in which folder to try to get it fixed.
Is there any detaied instructions on how to prepare your bios files to the usb drive? I have tryed Crisdisk. I tryed a Windows 98 bootable usb with an autoexec.bat file and phlash.exe with 30EAF05.wph to try to get it back to the bios that was on it. But I'm not sure if it is doing anything since I can't see whats displaying. I do the win key + B and the usb lights up, flashes a few times then either stays on or goes off depending on which usb I am using.
Any suggestions? I hope it isnt hopelssssss!

How I make a boot disk

Hello.
I'm an absolut Linux beginner and I tried to install archlinux on an external HDD, because my internal windows drives are dynamic logical Volumes and this doesn't work with Linux.
After the installation from the CD I noticed that I cannopt boot from USB HDD because of the BIOS.
How I make a boot disk (floppy) now ? The wiki guide doesn't help because if I boot from the installation CD I don't have the command fdformat and the command pacman - S grub works neither.
Can you help?
Best Regards
BX-8017
Excuse by bad language please, I'm not english!

Ok,
I found a grub boot disk on the net, it was a super grub boot disk. I deleted nearly all files and just copied my files from /boot/grub in the grub directory of the floppy disk. I used the windows tool "explore2fs" to get acces to my boot partition with the grub directory.
Her is my menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd2,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdc1 ro vga=773
initrd /kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd2,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdc1 ro vga=773
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
# (1) Windows
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
It doesn't work, because the hd 2,0 is not found from grub. (Selected disk does not exist)
It seams that grub is not recognizing my usb hdd at start up ?!?! but this cannot be, because during the installation process it is.
Many Thanks

PS The possibility to boot Arch with the Windows Bootmanager is interesting. Maybe we can discuss this later.....

Is it possible to make a BIOS usb key for a PC on a MAC?

I am not sure where to ask this question but If I needed to make a BIOS flash drive for a PC computer such as an HP Laptop or Desktop, would it be possible to do on the MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion? I ask this because I thought I was going to need to make a BIOS flash update for an HP system and I did not want to use a CD to do it. I had downloaded the flash drive tool from HP which under a windows system would make a USB flash drive. I tried running the tool under Windows 7 on both a VM session and a boot camp session but both times I would get a message saying something similar to "You don't have permission" even though I was doing it as an admin. Turns out I didn't need it anyway but for future references can I even make a bootable usb key for a PC on a Mac?

Thank you for the info. I found the problem that I had under the Windows 7 on Mac was the extractor(hpusbf.exe) was not running under the Admin mode so it wasn't given permission to modify the usb File system. I think the other issue is that I was trying this on a 8GB flash drive and it kept telling me the partition was too large. I found the switch to use 2048 blocks and it created a bootable flash drive. The problem I have now is when I tried it on my old HP laptop, it boots up saying "FreeDos Fat" and stops. So I don't know what is going on but I think I am going to stick to making bootable CDs I just have to get some Re-writable CDs so I don't waste the CDs.
I tried your solution on the mac side and tried copying the dos files over but the drive would not boot. I think the problem is that the command.com file is not set as a system file. I am not sure how you can set command.com as a system file for windows under the MAC operating system. I know in windows you use attrib +S filename.

E540 SSD caching - how to make it work

Hello. Does anyone know how can I rebuild E540 SSD caching? The problem is, that I formatted the whole notebook (1TB HDD + 16 GB SSD) and now after fresh install of Windows 8.1 it doesn't seem to use the 16 GB SSD as cache. I installed Intel Rapid Storage, but I can't install Intel Smart Response (which seems to do the SSD-caching) because it needs the RAID to be enable in BIOS but I don't have such an option. Any idea how to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

I think you need the ExpressCache package.
Well that seems to do the trick. The quiestion is - why? On lenovo expresscache download page (http://support.lenovo.com/en/downloads/ds035460) my model (E540) isn't listed in the supported models. That's why I didn't even try it. Although I was considering this until I saw, that my model is not supported.

DON'T FLASH FROM A FLOPPY DISK!!!!
DON'T FLASH WHEN YOUR SYSTEM IS RUNNING FINE!!!!
DON'T FLASH IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!
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
http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/socket_478.php
if you cannot find the BIOS that matches your board, try here http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/more.php
4. Extract the BIOS-archive that you have downloaded by double clicking to c:\test
5. Boot your system from a Win98 or WinME boot-floppy.
How to make boot floppy in case your don’t have it ready:
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:
C:
cd\test
C:\test> awdfl783m BIOS file
(to save or not to save old BIOS is the user’s decision)
8. Reboot your system when prompted
P.S. If your system doesn't boot after you flashed, please refer to the BIOS recovery method as described http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/note.htm

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
http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/socket_478.php
if you cannot find the BIOS that matches your board, try here http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/more.php
4. Extract the BIOS-archive that you have downloaded by double clicking to c:\test
5. Boot your system from a Win98 or WinME boot-floppy.
How to make boot floppy in case your don’t have it ready:
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:
C:
cd\test
C:\test> amifl827 BIOS file
(to save or not to save old BIOS is the user’s decision)
8. Reboot your system when prompted
P.S. If your system doesn't boot after you flashed, please refer to the BIOS recovery method as described http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/note.htm
Flashing the BIOS for Non-FAT file system (Thanks to Forum Moderator Assaf for his valuable contribution)
1.Check your BIOS for BIOS FLASH DISABLED and ENABLE it, some boards have this function.For Example:
K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) -BIOS setup/chipset setup/BIOS protection/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 "A6380MS v1.7 122101" This means the board is MS-6380 with BIOS version 1.7
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.

http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/socket_478.php>
if you cannot find the BIOS that matches your board, try here http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/more.php>
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 update a BIOS for a P6N SLI Platinum motherboard

I'm running Vista x64 with 4GB RAM. I'm having the same problem as everyone else that the OS runs slower with 4GB. I installed the Microsoft's hotfix and that didn't correct the problem. I downloaded the 1.5 BIOS drivers but I'm having trouble installing them. I created a boot disk by right clicking on the A: drive and selecting Format. Then I checked of System Disk or whatever it was called so I can boot off of it. It loads the A: prompt but it wont see any of my hard drives. I have two partitions; a C and a D. Since that didn't work I grabbed another floppy and installed the drivers on their.
Problem is that I don't understand how to Flash the BIOS. I run Afud408.exe from the command prompt and I get a list of options. I believe I selected the /p which did something, but then I rebooted and the BIOS is still v1.1 in the boot up screen. Can someone please help me? What do I need to type in the command prompt to get it to update?
Thanks.

In order to make this work you need to run the afud408.exe from a pure DOS command line (not a DOS box).
The correct command line needs to be:
afud408.exe BIOS-File name
Example:
afud408.exe A7350NMS.150
However, the best thing is to use the following tool, it will make the whole procedure a lot easier since it automatically prepares everything for you:
>>MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool<<
It works with Vista 64bit as well. All you need is an USB Flash drive.
If you don't have an USB-Flash Drive you can also prepare a CD for flashing. Guides can be found here:

I was able copy the hardrive of my old macbook from "My Passport" onto the desktop on an older iMac. but i dont know how to make my hardrive and user name be the main one since someone had used it in the past and had their info on the comp. please help!

I recently broke my 2008 macbook. i was able to use an external hardrive to back up my data onto My Passport. I was going to buy a new computer but a friend told me sher had an older version of the iMac. (not sure how old but it doesnt have a camera if that helps) i was able to hook it up and turn it on but i ran into a few problems. 1) the "authentic" user or whatever it says is someone who previously used the computer. i added me as a user but im not sure how to make me the main user. 2) after hooking up My Passport, i was able to drag my files and copy them to the desktop.(i think i did it correctly) now, i dont know how to make my hard drive and applications and iformation the "main " info. The current apps on the iMac are super old versions of iTunes and iPhoto and such. 3) while trying to open the apps from my macbook on the iMac, it said it didnt have the right software to open these apps.
I am so computer illiterate so someone please help!!! Also, i do not have internet in my new apartment yet so if there is a way to make this happen without using the internet that would be preferred. sorry for the horrible spelling and poorly written paragraph.
THANK YOU!!

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

Hi my name is vishal
For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.
Given below is my code in c# on how i export datas from different tables in sql server to PDF report using iTextSharp:
using System;

using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
namespace DRRS_CSharp
public partial class frmPDF : Form
public frmPDF()
InitializeComponent();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));
cell.Colspan = 6;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);
Paragraph para=new Paragraph("DCS Clinical Record-Assigned Dialyzer",FontFactory.GetFont("Arial",16,iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD,BaseColor.BLACK));
para.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(105f, 105f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select d.dialyserID,r.errorCode,r.dialysis_date,pn.patient_first_name,pn.patient_last_name,d.manufacturer,d.dialyzer_size,r.start_date,r.end_date,d.packed_volume,r.bundle_vol,r.disinfectant,t.Technician_first_name,t.Technician_last_name from dialyser d,patient_name pn,reprocessor r,Techniciandetail t where pn.patient_id=d.patient_id and r.dialyzer_id=d.dialyserID and t.technician_id=r.technician_id and d.deleted_status=0 and d.closed_status=0 and pn.status=1 and r.errorCode<106 and r.reprocessor_id in (Select max(reprocessor_id) from reprocessor where dialyzer_id=d.dialyserID) order by pn.patient_first_name,pn.patient_last_name", conn);

SqlDataReader dr;
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
table.AddCell("Reprocessing Date");
table.AddCell("Patient Name");
table.AddCell("Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)");
table.AddCell("No.of Reuse");
table.AddCell("Verification");
table.AddCell("DialyzerID");
while (dr.Read())
table.AddCell(dr[2].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString() +"_"+ dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString() + "-" + dr[6].ToString());
table.AddCell("@count".ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[12].ToString() + "-" + dr[13].ToString());

doc.Add(para);
doc.Add(png);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("AssignedDialyzer.pdf");
if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.Yes)
var writer2 = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

How to make downloadable links in Adobe Muse

I am new to website design and am trying to figure out how to make downloadable links for some PDF flyers, PSD templates I am creating. Not sure if "downloadable links" is the correct term for what I'm trying to say but in a nutshell I am creating Business Flyer's in PDF form and Photoshop PSD template files that I would like to be able to have my users click a link that allows them to download them right to their desktop. Any help would really be appreciated!

Hi caybar10gaming,
I had the same question as you and was searching online for how to add "downloadable links" as well so your not alone in that lol. Anyways, I found this video that explains how to do this. I hope this helps you, as it did me. Good Luck

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger on an incoming email. The finger method doesn't work and I cannot find any toolbar with which to do it. I could find nothing in settings also. Plese help and thank you.

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger in a received email. The finger method doesn't work and I can find no tool bar as I can for composing emails. I can find nothing in settings. Please help and thank you in advance.

Hi there,
Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
Good wishes,
John.
