Update BIOS from DOS

How do i flash the BIOS with updated version using DOS. I don't have Windows so i cannot use the InsydeFlash.exe. There is no executable in the BIOS update file that will run under DOS.
I have created a bootable FressDOS USB booted into it. but am unable to flash the 0818.bin file since none of the exe's work under DOS.

Also for something with UEFI bios you should be able to flash the bios from within the UEFI itself....as long as you extracted the BIOS onto a flash stick for it to find. Are you not able to do this?
What is your P/N so others can verify the BIOS update and what it needs to work...

Update BIOS from DOS command line?

Hello, I'd like to be able to flash the BIOS from the boot prompt or with a USB/CD/DVD based tool. I cannot open any OS even from live DVDs. My Presario SR5507F came originally with Vista installed but over the years it was upgraded to Windows 8.1. It gave us years of reliable service but sometime last fall the PC started experiencing seemingly random reboots and powerdowns. Things got pregressively worse until the PC was unusable. It would run for 15 or 20 minutes and then reboot. The problems started shortly after a Windows update, so I thought this was a patch or driver update issue. I tried reverting an removing patches to no avail. I also tried installing Ubuntu and Fedora, but they exhibit the same issues. Fedora is worse than Ubuntu, though. I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1, then 7 and finally the original Vista 32-bit OS but all Windows installations fail at some point during drivers installation. The computer just enters an endless reboot cyle and Windows cannot be installed. I ran memory tests but they all pass and I can use a text based OS, such as DOS. I have tried to reflash the BIOS, thinking it may have been corrupted during one of the reboots, but since I cannot install any version of Windows, the BIOS flash tools refuse to work. I need to be able to flash the BIOS from the DOS command prompt or at boot. Is there such a tool from Compaq/HP? Thanks!

The BIOS file is found on THIS PAGE and is listed asMCP61PM-HM Motherboard BIOS Update 5.271.5 MBAug 2, 2012sp40911.exe Open the download after it is complete with 7-zip by right clicking on the sp40911.exe, then extract the Net5.24 to a known location. AWDFlash downloadJust rename the file to 524.bin and use awdflash from DOS.Use awdflash 524.bin /cc/cd/cp/py/R

Satellite Pro L300 wont boot up after updating BIOS from 1.30 to 1.50

Dear All,
I own a Toshiba Satelklite Pro L300 and had no problems for the past 4 years. Last Monday I replaced my Hard Drive with a new one and after installing a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro, I downloaded all the drivers from the offical website. Upon finishing my last update, I updated the BIOS from version 1.30 to 1.50. After a few seconds my laptop restarted and was unable to load Windows and/ or recognise my new Hard Disk.
I tried several methods, being Safe Mode, Bios Optimun Defaults etc but was unsuccesful. IO could not even re-install Windows as the Hard Drive is not being recognised by the Laptop. I formatted the HD again via my desktop Pc but still have the same problem.
I am really worried and would appreciate immediate help!
Best Regards,
Engelbert

> I formatted the HD again via my desktop Pc but still have the same problem.
What happen exactly when you switch your notebook on?
Set BIOS to deult settings and try to install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. If everything works OK that means HDD upgrade was successful and there is no some serious hardware problem.
After this check you can try to install WXP again.
Please post some feedback.

Tecra 8100: updating bios from cd. exe won't run from command line

I want to update the bios of my Tecra 8100.
I downloaded the bios, but as the pc has no floppy, I cretaed a bootable cd like this
When I boot the pc, do F2, press c to boot from cd, I get into a dos-like environment. I went to drive Z, did 'dir', and see the bios.exe I burned on cd. To run it I type bios.exe and keep getting "command of filename not recognized" when i type dir *.exe, it does not see the file either.
Maybe I am overlooking something here?

Thank you.
It was a different bios then on this page:
I got there from [this|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =8&selFamily=195&selSeries=24&selProduct=103&selSh ortMod=null&language=13&selOS=all&selType=4&yearup load=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=al lMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=all &selectedLanguage=13&type=4&page=1&ID=20831&OSI D=-1&driverLanguage=42 ] page
The download contained a iso, so that was easy enough to do the update.<br /><br />
Thank you very much.
Laptop is fully functional again, better then it ever did on win98se.

Re: Cannot update BIOS from 1.5 to 1.6 on Tecra T 9100

I have problems with updating the BIOS of my Tecra 9100. The current version is 1.5, and I want to update it to 1.6, so that the UJ-820 DVD-RAM will work.
I have tried to do with the windows tool within the Zip-File (error message: User does not have administrator privileges), and with bootdisk (error message: unknown chipset).
What can I do next?

Hi
First of all the BIOS update will not help you to solve the CD/DVD drive IDE #1 issue.
Secondly I assume you are using the Win XP and if you want to update the BIOS you have to do this from running Win XP!
Furthermore I read in different threads that the Common Modules must be installed in order to start the BIOS update procedure.
PS: Check if you could start the BIOS exe file using right click and choosing Run as
Then you could choose the Admin account.

Updating bios from 1.4 to 1.9

Hello
I'm still running bios 1.4, thinking of updating.
What have changed up to v1.9 (or which ever is the newest) since 1.4? Will I benefit from updating?

For me, my 3700+ was reporting an incorrect temperature (65c). Although I always felt the temp was wrong, it just bugged the hell outn of me. Other then that 1.4 worked for me. If your going to a 3700+ it will work fine, but it will report the wrong temp. If all else is working, I'd just leave it.

Error updating BIOS from Windows Vista: error -15. Satellite a215-s7437

I've tried to update the BIOS of this laptop which currently runs version 1.2, when the latest version is 2.0. When I run the BIOS update from Windows Vista, it fails with error code -15, with a message similar to "current BIOS checksum fail". The laptop was bought in Spain. Any ideas? The knowledge base was completely useless for this issue. Pedro.

Does the computer still work at this point?

Don't use Live Update, especially for UEFI/BIOS flashes. Please use the forum's method;

Blue screen of death after hardware upgrade - do I need updated BIOS?

I've upgraded my processor & double my memory and am aware that I need to put in a more powerful PSU (see seperate post on Seasonic PSUs).
However, I've also had a couple of Stop Errors and when I restart the machine and go through error reporting, Microsoft OCA tells me that my BIOS may not be compatible with the processor (new one is P4 3.2ghz, 800mhz FSB, 1mb L2 cache)
So... do I need to update the BIOS too, and if so, what is the best way to do it?
I've read various posts about the dangers of using the Windows application that MSI supplies. How do I go about doing it via DOS? (I'm a bit of a novice here so will need it spelling out in terms a really dumb idiot can understand).
any advice gratefully received.

The 875P ( PCB 2) have native Prescott cpu support.
However, the cpu id - to correctly recognize differant cpu models - are being updated by bios.
Suggest you update to the latest biosversion ( 3.6 ) to cover all avaible socket 478 cpu models.

PS_Edit_Looking at your sign., it looks like you have PCB1 MoBo and then it this bios you should use.:

Read this how to update bios from DOS ( update bios only if your system is stable )
Also set memory voltage in bios to 2.7v.

I would also do a clean HDD format / WinXP sp1 installation, after you´ve changed hardware.

Update BIOS on Satellite A30-303

Having a Satellite A30-303.
With no work intern DVD.
Having a boot able usb DVD.
I wonder if I can update Bios from Ubuntu . I need do execute a .exe.
Or if I can take a boot disk and execute the file from DOS.

Hi!
For the Satellite A30 is only a windows based BIOS update available.
I think that will not work on Ubuntu and you must install Windows to make this update.
Normally on Windows systems you must download the BIOS Update, extract the file .exe file and start it. That is all.
Bye

Z97 Mpower Black Screen 00 After Updating Bios

I was Updating bios from 1 to 1.7 and suddenly i got an error and i tried all option flashing from usb boot from usb using all tools and its now working and i tried sandisk and kingston and im getting operating system missing any help ? Z97 Mpower

you are using the wrong bios archives and not what flobelix told you:
Quote from: flobelix on 04-December-14, 04:29:57
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the linked archive: >>https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=184264.0;attach=13927<< and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB from working bios.
G.) Once it booted successfully switch to the bad bios without powering down or rebooting
H.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash the bad bios
I.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me10_mb.zip

Flashing the bios in DOS

Hi
I wont to try flashing my bios from dos. Have created a boot disk and copied the latest bios onto this.
How do I then go about flashing the bios as read the instructions but does not seem to work
Have a K8T NEO FIS2R and want latest bios on it.
Computer has crashed that why I want to try it this way?
Thanks
Roy

Hi
Setting CC to auto should not damage a disk, unless OC'd.
What Connectors are you using SATA or SER fotr your drives, SATA = VIA. SER = Promise.
Disable the non used one, I think Via is better and less problems with read/write.
Make sure the FDC controller is on enabled not auto, (just below the via controller SATA IDE) in Integrated peripherals.
When you boot, press F11 it bring up boot menu, all the recognised bootable devices are shown, are your SATAS there? If so click on each till you find the boot disk, and set that in Boot sequence.
If not then use use XP CD and get to repair console, select the partition that is your boot disk, normally C:>, then type FIXMBR, follow prompt, that should reinstall the MBR on the disk you boot from.
Remember all the SATA driver files are on the boot partition, so if you re format you will need to re install them with F6. If the above does not get you into your disk, then do you have 2GB spare disk space, or an empty partition, you can install another copy of XP, and then read your disks from that, AND back them up.
Cheers
jocko
