Satellite A200-1DN - How to update BIOS for Windows 7

I'm running 32bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I've been having battery problems (plugged in, not charging) and I understand I need to update my BIOS. However I can't find a BIOS update for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.
Can anyone help? Should I update with the Vista BIOS? Are there any other options for solving this battery problem? I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before doing, try this:
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off
Remove the battery pack. Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
Re-insert the battery pack and plug the computer into the AC adapter
> I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
by the way, did you have the same issue before installing Win 7?

Satelitte A110-180 - Update Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

Hello,
I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop Satelitte A110-180
* AHCI for SATA
* Disable IDE
But there are no such options.
So I thought maybe I have to update my bios.
I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NOT Windows vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.
Wich one I have to download, or is there an other option to change the settings?
Thank you!
Bart

Hi
Satellite A110 does not support such options (SATA AHCI).
The BIOS update will not help you!
Linux is not supported and therefore you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!
The both BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
Therefore if you are using OS other as Vista then you should take the OS independent BIOS update!
But like mentioned above; both options will not appear after BIOS update!

Satellite A200-27Z - How to unblock KeNotify on Windows Vista?

Hi everyone,
Well, that subject pretty much says it all. I'm doing a cleanup - on my Satellite A200-27Z - and I my Windows Vista keeps blocking KeNotify.exe on startup.
Answers on Google etc. are contradictory - "it's safe!" - "no, don't touch it!" - So, what is the answer with this one? Keep blocking it? I think so; as it as reads keystrokes; which seems a bit unfair as it never told me it was doing it (
What do you all think?
Thanks,
B

Hi
The KeNotify shouldnt be blocked because it belongs to Toshiba Flash Cards that you need for FN keys so please unblock this application.
If the Windows firewall is blocking, you can unblock it in settings:
Control panel > Windows Firewall > Change settings >
I hope I could help you a little bit.

Satellite A200-1YW - Need storage card driver for Windows 7

Hello.
I have problem with installation storage card driver on Windows 7. I can't find the appropriate driver for this model. Pls give me link to this driver.

Hi
I assume you mean the Flash Card reader on your notebook?
The Satellite A200-1YW belongs to the PSAE3 series I think and therefore you can get all drivers here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
I have founded driver for Vista 32bit. If you use Windows 7 32bit you should try this driver. Normally it should work.

Re: Portege R500 - How to update BIOS on Windows 7?

Hello,
I want to update the bios of my Portege R500 to the 1.6 version. It's a windows-update BIOS and when I launch it under Windows 7, I get the message:
[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed.
I have to reinstall XP in order to update the Bios? File name is P0058v160.exe. Does anyone know if BIOS update works in Virtualisation mode? I would install Sunbox VM, install XP and run the BIOS update. But will it work?
Does anyone has an idea?
Regards,
Roro

Hi
You cannot format the 32GB SHCI card because the card reader of R500 support only SDHC cards up to 8GB!
So even you will update the BIOS, the 32GB SDHC card will not be recognized
Back to your BIOS update question;
Since the BIOS is OS independent, the BIOS update should work using Win 7 too.
As far as I know some Toshiba tools are needed in order to start the BIOS update.
Using Win XP you need Common Modules installed.
Using Vista or Win 7 the VAP (value added package) should be installed.

Satellite A200-1DN - WXP Network Drivers for Imaging

We have (by a prior employee) a number of Toshiba Satellite A200-1DN Laptops.
As there are many, we intend to image them to reduce the labour overhead for updates and maintenance etc.
However, Despite the WXP drivers being finally released, they do not contain instructions as to which files
to put into an image so that the network drivers work.
Any help or pointing to a set of instructions are much appreciated.
R Price

Hi
It looks like the Satellite A200-1DN would belong to the PSAE0E series.
You have to choose the XP drivers exactly for this A200 series. Thats important!
As far as I know the notebooks supports also the LAN Chip from Realtek RTL8101 Family Fast Ethernet.
If you want you can try to install the original XP driver from Realtek website. This one should also run.
Good luck

Do you have a spare notebook SATA hard disk?
Nope.
Even if I had, I would probably not be installing Windows on it to upgrade the firmware!
I got some generic ways to install firmware if using Linux:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
But I will wait for an official response from someone at HP about providing a Linux compatible BIOS update before attempting that.
If that is your desire, then I highly recommend that you contact HP directly.
You may have quite a long wait otherwise,

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
I am using Bootcamp.

Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

Hi,
We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
can read reg value as exempel.
IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
I found this

You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1. If you haven't upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, see the info below.
If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
