Your problem seems to be related to the subject in this knowledgebase article as my guess is you have installed XP?
To change the setting back to compatabilty you need to enter BIOS and change it in the Config > SATA menu.

Hard drives not detected after bios update

Hello
K7T Turbo 2 kt133a
I bought a new chip a while back and therefore updated my bios.
My system has worked on and off for a while now, however i have not been able to get it to boot for 2 days.
I have tried bios version 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6, the same thing in all cases.
So i decided that the problem was not the bios, but my IDE cable, so i installed another one, still no had drives!!
even when my first hard drive is recognized and the system boots, the secon hard drive isn never detected.
What do I do now???
Dude I think i migh just have to order a dell.......
Any help would be great
thanks

Hi
jumpers should be right
the top HD (on the end of the cable) is l:::
and the bottom (slave i assume) is ::l:
My PSU details are as follows (dont know much about power supplys)
it is called a switching power supply (likely not a very good one)
Max output is 300W
115V / 7A / 60hz
+3.3 +5 +12 -12 -5 +5sb Blk Grn Gry
14A 30A 10A 0.5A 0.5A 1.5A Com p-on PG
Hope this heps
I have thought that this PS was a POS (piece of ) since day 1, so if i need to replace tell me what to get, this thing is loud, and the system has never been overly stable (the computer has always powered down etc on its own
Thanks Guys

Satellite Pro L300 will not boot after Bios update

Help please.
I have just formated a Satellite Pro L300 laptop.
I used all the updated drivers from Toshiba and all went very well.
I then updated the bios with the latest version.
After doing this the laptop will not boot but just keeps scrolling through the start menu and no matter what option I choose it just keeps doing the same thing.
Any ides welcome

Hi
I used the Microsoft installation disk but just keep getting to the same stage until the blue screen appears. I have tried different installation disks and also changed the hard drives as well. I can do everything in bios, change boot device enable or disable devices but that is it. I have tried a few times to instal windows but it just stops at the same point saying windows is stopping instal to protect the system. I fear the bios update has done some permanent damage as I cant get past the dreaded blue screen.Thanks anyway

Lenovo G780 not working after BIOS update

First of all I want to say that I am extremely disappointed with the experience I had with my Lenovo. After I bought it I found out that Lenovo, for some reason, disabled the Turbo Boost option of the CPU. I tried to fix it by entering the BIOS but the options there were limited, so I decided to update the BIOS. I downloaded the BIOS update for 64-bit windows(i am running windows 8 which is compatible with the said update utillity). I ran the .exe and followed all the instructions (did not shut-down restart or anything my computer). After installing it automatically restarted and a Lenovo logo prompted on the screen followed by ">>Start PXE over IPv6, Press [ESC] to EXIT..." after that "EFI Network 0 for IPv6(numbers and letters) boot failed". Then ">>Start PXE over IPv4" which failed and a blue box poped saying
"Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed. Insert Recovery Media and Hit any ket then select boot manager to choose a new boot device or to boot recovery media". Pressed ok and got me to Boot Manager screen. Boot option Menu had only EFI Network 0 for IPv6 and EFI Network 0 for IPv4". What should I do?
Note that I tried to start up both with and without the ethernet cable in.

Hi.
I also (stupidly) updated to this new BIOS version and ran into the problems you described. I did what Lenovo recommended but nothing worked. But this how I solved my problem:
Enter the BIOS by pressing F2 just after booting up the computer.
When inside BIOS go to Boot and chang the following settings: Boot Mode [Legacy Support] AND Boot Priority [Legacy first].
Save and Exit and your computer should start.
Whence inside check if windows is activitated and check if the new BIOS is registered.
PS: I have scandivian G780 with an i3. Pls responds if this helps

Plz help, "device not detected" after windows updates?? I have so

I have An Audigy 2 ZS, and have the latest drivers. It has been working PERFECT, LAST NIGHT I had like 0 WINDOWS UPDATES, i dont' know if any of these had anything to do with this. But, I just now went to the icon in the task bar, and went to change SPEAKER SETTINGS to switch to HEADPHONES as I ALWAYS DO, I was surprised when the "unable to change the sound device to your selected device", you press ok, and it comes up TWO MORE TIMES, Right after each other.
I DO HAVE SOUND, FOR NOW. I have read other mentioning this error, but I didn't seem to find any answers. I can't go to speaker settings, or Surround Mixer,
OK, NOW I tried to go to GRAPHICS EQ, and an error came up that said "THE AUDIO DEVICE SUPPORTED BY THIS APPLICATION IS NOT DETECTED, THE APPLICATION WILL EXIT"
What is going on?
I went to device manager and it says that the device is working properly, and I DO have sound.
I DON'T get it. And I'm not likeing this. This is starting to worry me.
Does ANYONE know what is going on.. PLZ?

Thanx for the reply. I just now fixed it. I'm not totally sure what I did. Earlier I had uninstalled the device from Device manager, and then restarted, and it installed the drivers from the CD. It didn't fix it. So, I ran the LIVE update here at creative.com and downloaded the version I had before, I guess because when i had ran the update before I uninstalled the device the update wasn't there.
But, it started to update, and said something it had to restart the pc in order to install the update, and after it installed the new "creative audio console" it now works.
the whole thing was strange since I dind't lose sound at all. Just couldn't access settings.

hi sathish291
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Power down the machine, remove the AC adapter and battery.
2. Hold the power button for 30secs and reconnect the AC adapter only then turn the computer ON.
If the machine still doesn't power up normally and boot into WIndows then it's likely that something went wrong (could be a bad BIOS flash or an internal component might have gone defective during or after the BIOS update). In this case, you may need to contact lenovo on how to go about getting the unit serviced.

Lenovo w510 will not boot after BIOS update

Hi,
This morning I used the windows bios update utility to update my Lenovo w510 type 4318. Everything appeared to have been successful until the machine rebooted. It froze on the lenovo splash screen with text saying to press the blue think vantage button for more options.
I waited a good 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't processing anything before trying again. When frozen pressing the power button cause system to beep two times Pause and beep three more times.
Called Lenovo support and was told since out of warranty (2/12) the onlyI option is for paid mail in repair at quoted maximum of $575. Needless to say I was very dissatisfied - and made this clear to support who informed there was no way to escalate and no other options.
Does anyone have any other options or ability to escalate this case and keep a Lenovo customer. really disappointed
Case #9026SN6
Btw, reason i updated bios to fix issue with usable ram showing 3 gb.
Solved!

sometimes it is safer to do the bios update outside of windows environment.
NEVER use the .EXE method for a BIOS update. Always use the .ISO and the CD/DVD boot method. Never update after the warranty expires.

Computer will not boot after bios update

This afternoon I recieved an urgent BIOS update in much the same format as I have received updates from HP for years. It was accompanied with some other non urgent update.
So I gave the permissions to make the update.
I recieved a notice that the update had been successfully completed and the computer said it was restarting.
The problem is that it never woke up...
After several minutes I manualy restarted the computer.
As the boot began I heard three beeps, and then nothing but a black screen.
I shut down and restarted after several minutes but this time no beeps just black screen.
I figured that somthing must have corrupted the BIOS
I began researching what the three beeps mean. Appearently three different sets of BOIS were used in this model. Different BIOS have different beeps.
Well I sure never thought I would need to write down what BOIS I have...
In my research I have see referances to holding down certain F keys for different BIOS options as I start the computer
If I hold down an F key when I hit the start button the computer emediately shuts off
How can I get to the BIOS to reset or roll back the update? What next?

The box is on the way...
In addition the the methods outlined in the article The Hp tech had me try to start tapping the F 10 key.
Nothing worked...
Hp is sending me a box to return the computer to a repair facility.
Thank you for your timely assistance,
Sparks

Satellite Pro L100 does not run after BIOS update

Ok the machine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4. Problem occurred during a BIOS update from the official Toshiba website. I downloaded the zip file, extracted it and activated the .exe file inside.
The window opened by the .exe was a BIOS flashing program, the .exe also simultaneously wrote a new BIOS file to a temporary folder.
When tried to use the program all I got was an error saying that it couldn't find the new BIOS to input.
I tried again only to get the same error. I then left the laptop for several minutes and when I returned, I found a blank unresponsive laptop.
By unresponsive I mean an obvious lack of BIOS functions i.e. power LED's not changing when plugging in of unplugging from the mains and the fact that I had to pull the battery out to turn the machine off. When the machine is turned on now all it does is check the drives and restarts (no display, no beeps)
What do I do?
The first thing that came to mind was to reset the BIOS.
One problem, I can't find the RTC battery or a jumper switch.

I have at least found out why this happened, the program obtained from Toshiba automatically 'attempts' to upgrade the BIOS upon activation. This means that the program engaged with errors without my authorisation. I don't find this very impressive from a company as large and powerful as Toshiba.
Also it may be possible to fix myself if the BIOS installation instructions made sense, extracting the .zip file does not create three sub folders and pressing the F12 key does not start the laptop.

ThinkVantage Toolbox does not run after BIOS update

Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update Tool on my T410 ThinkPad (2518EWG) offered me download and installation of ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US version 1.28-1.11.
Since then, whenever I try to run Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox I receive a message: „This version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system“.
I notice that the ThinkVantage Toolbox still shows the old BIOS No. 6IET49WW (1.09), while the updated BIOS is 6IET68WW (1.28).
Any comprehensible instruction how to solve the problem for a computer layman will be much appreciated. Thanks - Jan

Satellite C660D-104 does not boot after BIOS update

Hello,
I installed the latest bios on my computer Satellite C660D-104 but it has not rebooted.
Where is the place to do a reset?
Under the ram I have no triple x or B499
I can not find, can you help me please?
Thanks,

BIOS update failed this means that ROM module (where the BIOS is stored) isnt flashed properly.
As far as I know such issue could be resolved by flashing the ROM module again using Toshiba BIOS crisis disk.
I guess Toshiba authorized service provider own such crisis disk and could reflash the ROM

Tecra A2: display brightness Fn F6+F7 does not work after BIOS update

Updated bios to 1.40 WIN at end of January. Since then F6 & F7 keys fail to increase or decrease screen brightness. Is this a coincidence or is the bios update the culprit!!??

Hi
Usually the BIOS update shouldn't have any bad influence on the Toshiba drivers and the OS performance.
There must be another reason for the FN key malfunction.
At first I would suggest to reinstall the common modules. Please check if it will help.

Dm4-1165dx not booting after bios update

I recently tried to update the bios on a DM4-1165dx from F.23 to F.27 as I recently formated the disk with windows 7 pro, I downloaded all the requiered drivers and everything was running smoothly until I ran the bios update tool, followed the instructions as said, waited for more than 5, noticed that the update window dissapeared then the fans started working at high speed. This lasted around 13 minutes. (now being almost 20 minutes) the bottom of the laptop was really hot. The mouse wasnt responding, neither did the keyboard (tried to get taskman to cancel the process). Waited 5 more minutes until I decided to pull the power cord then it just turned off.
Haven't been able to turn it on.
Already tried:
1.- removing the battery, waiting, power, windows+b, HP_TOOLS usb
2.- removing cmos battery, removing memory modules installing new ones.
The blinking leds were blinking 2 times acording to this:
Troubleshooting LED Blinking Lights
is a problem with the bios, I need help troubleshooting this issue as the bios is so new I haven't found any troubleshooting available.
PLEASE HELP!

You can boot and recovery to your previously installed BIOS version.

Equium A60 does not start after BIOS update

I have an Equium A60. After being caught with some very nasty malware and a trojan I made the disiccion to reformat the machine and reinstall the o.s..
All went well until I updated the bios. Machine crashed and now I cannot get it to reboot. Press the power button and the machine will start for 3-4 seconds and then shuts down.
I know this is due to the bios and want to know if there is any way that i can reset this back to it original settings?
thanks in advance for your help

Hi Rob.
The model of my laptop is EA60-152 / PSA67E.
Yes i did upgrade from the Toshiba website.
I should have never done this it was working after the reinstall of the o.s and so i should not have tried anything else(never fix something that aint broke).
The only place i have found for a new motherboard is Toshiba. But the price is nasty. Talk about what a fool am i.
Never mind though i keep on thinking that there may be an answer or a scrap one that i can rob a bios chip from. Other than that a very nice paperweight me thinks..!!!!
If i get an answer than i will post it here..

HP G62-a22se not booting after bios update

Yesterday, i downloaded an update from HP's site for my bios and since my laptop is not booting. on reboot i see the caps lock flashing twice each 2 secs. is there anything i can do to reflash bios or undo the update?? any help would be appreciated.

Disconnect all peripherals from the laptop. (external drives, mice or other devices)
Remove AC power, remove the main battery, locate and then remove the RTC coin cell battery for 15 minutes. RTC battery is located in the memory module bay on this model, L shaped cover with 2 screws, you will need to remove the main battery before removing this cover.
Put the coin cell back in and connect AC power only, see if it will post the HP screen, if it does Immediately use F10 to enter the bios and set the date and time, save changes on exit.
If it does not start, power it back down, hold all 4 arrow keys down and power it up while holding keys for 2~3 seconds after power up, let up on the keys and wait (2~3 minutes) to see if the bios recovers. If you get the HP post screen, enter the bios and set the date and time before booting into windows.
