Updating the BIOS: is it worth? And how to?

Hello everyone.
I have an Hp Envy dv-6 -7280sl
I formatted it, and installed Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 13.10 in dual boot.
Some days ago the notebook didn't let me enter in Windows 7 partition, giving me a 0xc00000e9 error. When I ran the Long DST test, it failed.
I managed to format the Windows 7 partition, and installed it once again. Now it's properly working,  and the Long DST test is passing. But If I insert a Windows 7 64bit repair disk, it still gives me the 0xc00000e9 error.
What can I do? Do I need to update the bios? Is it worth?
And how can I do it, since the HP page want me to select "Windows 8"?

BIOS update is always a good thing to do if needed but in your case first needs to solve the error problem your having when you use the repair disk. And then if you want to check on the HP driver support with your product number and see if there was BIOS update to your system. But when doing BIOS update make sure your batter is working order and power is good causing having a filed BIOS update is not a good thing to have. But in my experiences of flashing the BIOS unless something forbids happens updating a bios is something you should read the instructions and do it when your not using the computer for anything else. But generally if you do it carefully and not rush BIOS updating is should work fine just make sure to get the right BIOS that matching our product number. Also to your two paritions is there a reason why you need Ubuntu? I would think Windows would more then suffice and the problem might coming from the Unbuntu partitions when the repair disk does a scan. Put this way wipe the total hard drive clean partitions and make just one system Windows 7 and if any errors appears then you can tell if it is software based or hard drive based problems.

  • Tecra S5 - Is it worth to update the BIOS?

    I bought a Tecra S5 notebook recently and yesterday I noticed an update of the BIOS in the Toshiba website.
    I googled alot and also searched this forum and found a lot of threads about people having problems after updating (flashing) their BIOS. So I want to ask if the update is worth it, and if somebody owning a S5 has done it. Also could somebody tell me if there is a way to ensure you can roll back previous BIOS version after an update goes wrong?
    The notebook is precious to me and since living in this financial crisis time means I won't be able to buy a new one if I screw this up I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: Forgot to mention that I installed Vista 64 due to having 4 GB of RAM.

    Hello
    First of all a BIOS update is not necessary if your notebooks runs smoothly. Never touch a running system ;)
    A BIOS update is only advisable if you have problem with it, for example not properly recognized RAM modules or so.
    I only update the BIOS of my notebook if I have problems with it and that means I updated the BIOS on my Toshiba notebooks 3 times as yet. Im not a Tecra S5 owner but I never had a problem with the BIOS updates. Some people who reported that the BIOS update failed did forget to read some instructions how to do that:
    Before you start a BIOS update you should close all running programs and close all background processes that you dont need. Also your antivirus and firewall should be disabled and must be logged in as administrator. Dont forget to connect the AC/DC adaptor before you start it.
    If you follow these tips normally the BIOS update should be done successfully.
    A BIOS downgrade to an older version can only be done from anuthroized service provider. That means you can downgrade it yourself.
    But newer versions are pretested from Toshiba and should not cause more problems as before. Newer BIOS versions fix problems.
    I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

  • How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

    Hello!
    I have recently decided to upgrade my RAM from 2GB to 4GB. After installing, I booted up my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing a bit of troubleshooting, I decided to try and update the BIOS, as the version was from 2010. I downloaded the BIOS update boot CD application from lenovo, burned a disc, and on reboot I found that the boot order did not have CD listed on it. Here's the catch: I don't have the supervisor password. This is a hand-me-down laptop, and I have tried to find the password to no avail. This is the current boot order: USB drive, Hard drive. 
    My question is, can I either create a BIOS update disc using a USB, or update the BIOS some other way?
    I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having it serviced (which I would rather not do, even if I have to send my RAM back to Crucial)
    My system specs:
    Thinkpad L512
    Bios version: 1.04
    Bios date: 2010-3-26
    Embeded Controller Version: 1.01
    Windows 7 32 bit
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Two things here:
    a) If you run System Update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I've never done it on a passworded unit, so it might or might not work but might be worth a shot.
    b) I doubt that the ability of the system to recognize new RAM has anything to do with the BIOS. ThinkPads much older than yours will run 4-8GB RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine to begin with.
    Good luck.
    Cheers,

  • How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID mirror? Z87-G45

    How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID with Z87-G45?   I'm using a simple two drive, RAID 1 mirror setup.
    I'm currently at bios 1.4, and want to move up.  However, last time I upgraded the BIOS, the machine rebooted with improper settings for the RAID (they get hosed during BIOS flash) and Windows decided to auto-repair the only boot drive it could see, one half of the mirror, because it couldn't see the RAID array correctly and *POOF*  bare-metal reinstall required.   
    My PC will not let me press the DEL key on bootup to access the bios, even with MSI Fast Boot not installed.  It just ignores the DEL key and tries to load windows which, if that happens, will flame-out my RAID array after a bios flash if I can't catch it to enable the RAID first before windows loads.
    I do not want to rebuild my PC again simply because I do a BIOS update.

    FYI: BIOS 1.4 & 1.8 are using the same RAID version: 12.7.0.1936
    based on this RAID surprise should not hapends.
    But as pandaz says if you have no issues, leave bios update alone.
    there are still risks something to messed up,
    best do a backup of your data just in case if you want to try latest version

  • Satellite A40: How to update the BIOS because I only have half of the Bios

    Hi guys
    i went to the local computer shop with my satellite A40 because i only have half of the bios !!!
    I sent an email to the german toshiba technical support and they said try a bios update (which baring in mind i still dont know how to do)then we sent my laptop to a local computer shop and told them the problem they told me not to update bios on a cempron processor.
    Why not? What are the risks in need to know.
    please help me because i want to in the future possibly upgrade to vista??

    Hello Daniel,
    Im a little bit confused about your message.
    What do you mean with only have half of the bios?
    Whats wrong with the BIOS?
    The Toshiba support said -> try a BIOS update.
    On the Toshiba page you can download the BIOS for the Satellite A40.
    It seems you didnt check the download page detailed because on this page you would find this instruction:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS&FID=TRO0000000b07
    The BIOS update was detailed described in this document and you should follow these guide lines to update the BIOS.

  • My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
    You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
    What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
    You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
    - the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
    - the value set values and  description
    Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...

  • Win XP and updating the bios

    Wich is the correct procedure to update the bios of my mb (K8N diamond)?
    I have read the MSI information, but using Win Xp is not possibile to start the update from a boot floppy of win98. it can read the NTFS file system.
    Pad

    Quote from: tcsenter on 13-February-06, 14:19:49
    It is truly a mystery where this procedure originated from that uses a RAM drive for flashing a BIOS, given that DOS-based flash executables from AMI and Award have always required a pure DOS environment with NO MEMORY MANAGERS or other non-essential memory resident programs (and both BIOS companies continue to recommend this).  It seems to be a method advocated only here, for reasons I cannot explain, perhaps originating from someone's own personal preference.
    Physical RAM is much more vulnerable to power fluctuations and uncorrectable errors than modern fixed hard disks.  Only high-end servers running registered ECC modules can detect and track defective RAM right down to the individual RAM chip, marking it as unsafe for use to prevent access to the defective chip (ChipKill).  Hard disks can do this internally right down to the sector or block and have for years.  Of course, if the power is interrupted, neither is safe.
    Using a RAM drive is more complexity with absolutely zero advantage or benefit, and possibly will interfere with the flash process.  Flash utilities typically balk at the presence of memory managers and other non-approved memory resident code.
    Excellent fact/points. Up until several years ago, I only flashed from a floppy or directly from the drive. I've had a couple flashes go bad using a floppy, and whenever possible I would do it from the HD. When I'm faced with an NTFS formatted drive, then I'm forced to flash via floppy, until I had a disk go bad at some point after I had copied the files to the disk and possibly during the flash. I then saw this method using the RAM Drive here, and I've seen it on other forums such as PC perspective (formerly AMDMB) and a couple others I cannot recall. I don't know where it originated from either. I have several drives laying around, and I may consider abandoning that method, or at least using a CD, but I am not sure of that method, I would think it safer than a floppy in any case. I've been using the RAM Drive method ever since when I don't have a FAT partition available and haven't had a problem, but that only means I haven't done it enough times to experience the failure you speak of. I guess it's only a matter of time.

  • MSI H61M-P21 (B3) - Won't start, how can I update the BIOS?

    Hello Everyone!
    I just bought an MSI H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard along with Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge (2.4 GHz) and 1 DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1600 KingMax. I use NJOY 500W true power as power supply. The system starts but no image, no beep code, nothing... Testet with another DIMM of RAM (4GB DDR3 1333 KingMax), but no luck. Tested with another power supply (450w true power), no luck again. I have tested the motherboard out of case, put on an antistatic surface, no luck... Reset CMOS, same situation: no image, no beepcodes...  On the Main BIOS Chip of the motherboard is a little sticker on which is written "E7680IMSH30" - i guess that the motherboard comes 'shipped' with 7680vH3 BIOS.
    Is there a possibility to update the bios without replacing the CPU or send the board to RMA? I'm almost sure that the problem is around here...
    Thanks in advance! Any answer is welcome!
    P.S.: I appologise for my bad english.

    Good morning.
    I've tested the motherboard this weekend with another DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1333, ThermalTake PSU (500W, i don't remember the model) and Core i3-2120 CPU - those components were taken from another IDENTICAL motherboard H61M-P21 (B3) with same version of BIOS. Didn't worked... I have tested my Celeron CPU G530 on the functional H61M-P21 (B3) and it's working...
    So, there is a problem with my mainboard, i will send it to warranty.
    Thanks a lot. Have a nice day!

  • I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?

    I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?

    I fixed it!!
    While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
    To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
    Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
    Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new.

  • Tecra M3 - Can't update the BIOS

    Hi,
    I have a Tecra M3 (PTM30E) and TEMPRO is telling they're 2 bios updates for the machine.
    I have downloaded them, but when I run them I am told the computer is not supported. How do I update the BIOS?
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Why to hell do you need a BIOS update?
    Only because the Tempro said that there is a new update?
    Tempro sends only a notification that a new file has been uploaded
    Its not a recommendation that you have to update this!
    So if your notebook runs trouble free dont update anything!!
    I always follow this advice; never change a running system! And its really wise advice

  • Updating the BIOS on Satellite A30

    Hi,
    I'm about to update the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite A30 Laptop (Service Pack 3).
    I have downloaded the updated BIOS and have decided to update the BIOS from within Windows as recommended on the Toshiba website.
    On the website it mentions prior to upgrading the BIOS please ensure the following:
    Notebook PC BIOS update:
    Prior to upgrading the BIOS please ensure the following:
    - Notebook is undocked.
    - Notebook is connected to the mains.
    - Notebook must be in boot mode and not resume mode.
    - Remove any PC Cards.
    1. Windows based BIOS update:
    1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
    2. Make sure that all open files are saved and all applications are closed.
    3. Execute the extracted *.exe file in the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen.
    4. The BIOS update will be done automatically.
    5. After a few minutes the Notebook will restart automatically.
    I'm not sure by what it means by Notebook must be in boot mode and not resume mode
    What is boot mode and how do I get my laptop in this mode?
    Can I not just run the downloaded file from my desktop?
    Thanks;

    Hi
    Boot mode means the notebooks should be powered off ;)
    Its simply off and ready to boot the OS when pressing the power button ;)
    But listen dude;
    This decryption belongs to the traditional BIOS update.
    You can find ONLY the win-based BIOS update on the Toshiba page.
    This BIOS can be updated only from running Windows OS.
    PS: BIOS update is not necessary if the notebook is running trouble free

  • HT1338 Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
    The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated.  Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
    SELLING A MAC A
    Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
    Selling an Old Mac:
    • When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
    • Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
    Internet Recovery:
    • In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
    • Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
    iLife Apps:
    • When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
    • Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
    • It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
    SELLING A MAC B
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
    A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
    B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
    3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
    side.
    4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
    sure to opt for that.
    Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive. 
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
    1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
    2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
    3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
    4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
    5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
    A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
    1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
    3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
    Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    4. Install OS X.
    5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
    6. Shutdown the computer.
    B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
    it is three times faster than wireless.
    1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
    Utilities window appears.
    2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button. 
    3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
    on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
    and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
    7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

    hi ,
    below are some minfo about lock objects :
      Lock Objects
    These types of objects are used for locking the access to database records in table. This mechanism is used to enforce data integrity that is two users cannot update the same data at the same time. With lock objects you can lock table-field or whole table.
    In a system where many users can access the same data, it becomes necessary to control the access to the data. In R/3 system this access control is built-in on database tables. Developers can also lock objects over table records.
    To lock an object you need to call standard functions, which are automatically generated while defining the lock object in ABAP/4 dictionary. This locking system is independent of the locking mechanism used by the R/3 system. This mechanism also defines LUW i.e. Logical Unit of Work. Whenever an object is locked, either by in built locking mechanism or by function modules, it creates corresponding entry in global system table i.e. table is locked. The system automatically releases the lock at the end of transaction. The LUW starts when a lock entry is created in the system table and ends when the lock is released.
    Creating Lock Objects
    Lock object is an aggregated dictionary object and can be defined by using the following steps:
    o From initial data dictionary screen, enter the name for the object, Click Lock object radiobutton and then click on Create. The system displays a dialog box for Maintain Lock Objects screen
    o Enter short text as usual and the name for primary table.
    -Save
    -Select Tables option
    From this screen you can:
    Select secondary tables, if any, linked by foreign key relationship.
    Fields for the lock objects. This option allows you to select fields for objects (R/3 system allows locking up to record level). Lock object argument are not selected by user but are imposed by the system and includes all the primary keys for the table.
    1) Exclusive lock: The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single user. A request for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
    2) Shared lock: More than one user can access the locked data at the same time in display mode. A request for another shared lock is accepted, even if it comes from another user. An exclusive lock is rejected.
    3) Exclusive but not cumulative: Exclusive locks can be requested several times from the same transaction and are processed successively. In contrast, exclusive but not cumulative locks can be called only once from the same transaction. All other lock requests are rejected.
    Also, last but not the least, locking the object is logical (locking with any enqueue ) .so, you have to use the lock object while trying to access from second program .
