Lost user data after upgrade bios in G580

HI
I have strange problem with Lenovo G580 with Windows 7. After upgrade bios to newest version and reboot my system start without any user data (no documents, no programs installed earlier), All reboot take short time, about 1-2 minutes. Only username stay the same.
Is it possible that upgrade BIOS was bring recover system to factory?
Does data can I recover somehow?
I need help because there was important databases of company.
Thanks
Dariusz

hi Dariusz,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
That's really strange indeed and very unusual as I've never seen a BIOS update delete a user's data before. Perhaps you're logged-in to a temporary user profile?
To check if you're logged-in to a temp profile, show hidden files and navigate to C:\Users and check if you have an identical username with a dollar sign right next to it and apply this fix:
Fix Corrupt Windows 7 Temporary Profile
For data recovery, check these Free File Recovery Software Programs.
Hope this helps

[K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

Hello everyone!
I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
Can you tell me what's wrong?
Thanks, bartull@
PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash. I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash. My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
(Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
After flash is complete :
TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
Turn on again , press the power button .
Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure. Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
Good luck.

Problems after upgrade bios to v4.3 - P67A-GD65

Hi to everybody,
I was having a problems after upgrade bios to v4.3 of my mainboard P67A-GD65.
After upgraded bios version (FW) its interface was changed and seemed better. also some specifiactions upgraded that i am now able to follow information of bios in my windows. with Control Center.
1) first of all after bios upgrade XMP memory section can only be enable şf ş choose OC geniue on. but with this my cpu warm till 98C degree. because i have only stock cpu cooler of intel.
in normal mode xmp can not be activated so that my memory that corsair vengeance dd3 1600mhz works at 1333mhz only.
Also there was information about what is new in this version of bios fw as:
- Enhanced PCI-E display card performance.
- Improved memory compatibility.
2) second problem that i have i wanted to turn cpu leds which were located above cpu slot blue leds. once i turn them off and it is ok. but when shutdown computer and restart it turn on itself.
so may be there have benn occured a problem that mb can not save edited settings correctly?
3) For last i could not find Winki 3 OS/linuz anywhere is there a link to it to integrate to my mb?
Thanks for your replies from now on.
Greetings.

I think you had better to flash back to beta 4.39 bios, here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.msg1214789#msg1214789
And use and install on USB key MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool from here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.msg800577#msg800577
Flash using method 1.
And tell us if that works.
thank you for reply that fast i will try asap and tell here.
Btw, have you ever face a problem as i wrote above?

Hi
We are moving over our servers between datacenters along with a Peoplesoft Upgrade, Our present peoplesoft environment is on tools 8.47.11 which cannot be brought up in web on the new x64 servers.

Please suggest on this.

Windows 8 - Can I upgrade BIOS without loosing embedded product-key?

On machines with Windows 8 pre-installed, the product-key is embedded in bios.
So... what happens with the product-key if I upgrade Bios?
Can I be sure I don't loose the product-key?

The product key should remain intact. If it doesn't, it is a bug and Lenovo would need to correct it while the machine is under warranty.
Updating a BIOS for a machine not under warranty isn't advised.

P67A GD55 Rev B - Upgrade Bios Question

To be honest, this post supposed to be a private message to Svet, but turned out a newbie like me who just joining the forum is not allowed to send PM...so apology if this questions are being asked so many times already:
Dear svet,
Really need your help in clarifying something, to make it short here are my questions:
First here are my PC Specifications:
MSI P67A-GD55 rev B
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB XMP Enabled
PSU Corsair X750W
Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k
OS Windows 7 x64
1. I have upgraded my GD55 rev B bios to the latest bios available here: msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
which foolishy I didn't read the warn that it will not work proeperly for Sandy Bridge
2. The bios update/flash was a success, now I have the ver II click bios, completely different with the first version. With this bios I managed to OC to my previous OC speed (4.2GHz in OC Setting by changing it into 42 multiplier and set the Vcore to 1.35)
3. The reason that I updated my bios in the first time was I often experience 0x50 error while gaming certain games, and I thought upgrading bios is one of the solutions for it (after trying to change my RAM, changing my GPU, and my PSU to no avail)
4. Then I stumble to this post of yours: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
with some fix in the 434 version states like this: "05.Fix system reset on 0x55 issue when use Sandy Bridge G440 CPU and install two 4G memory."
I am completely not sure whether this is related to my 0x50 BSOD or not, but really hoping that it is.
So my question is, should I upgrade/downgrade to your first post BIOS? (E7681IMS.434) or should I upgrade/downgrade to the latest beta 439 Bios (E7681IMSv439.rar) as the fix in 434 are included in 439?)
Thank you so much in advance for any help...
Regards,

While waiting for Svet to respond, I will tell you that BSOD 050 is not enough DRAM V. being applied. It's rather a shame you didn't open a thread in the regular part of the forum, or the OC section of the forum asking for assistance 'before' flashing an Ivy support UEFI/BIOS.
That CPU is most likely capable of OC'ing to 42X easily on Auto CPU voltage while maintaining all the power saving features. VDroop set to Low or 100% depending on the available settings.
What is X.M.P. setting the DRAM V. at? If 1.50v's, to solve your BSOD, probably would have just required raising the DRAM V. to about 1.575v's or maybe even less manually. Rather than using X.M.P., the DRAM Frequency setting could have been changed manually to 1600.
Yes, all newer final or Beta versions will have previous release improvements incorporated.
Thank you for the reply...forget to delete the "dear Svet" part as it was copied from once private message intended
To be honest, I see myself rather as a silent reader than an active poster...so I would really try to avoid posting due to English isn't my first language....if that even make sense...
I think I have read quite a lot of 0x50 BSOD (CTD errors to be exact) in other forums to...have tried what people had posted as solutions for them...and still to no avail, hence my foolish and rushed attempt in flashing the bios...please do mind that the current bios is quite stable in my opinion, despite the same BSOD (CTD) in the certain game I have mentioned in my first post...
I have followed OC guide and benchmark in other forum which show each of its poster their OC settings and result (specifically i5 2500k series), and I have tried around 1 week to safely say that my unfortunate chip can only handly a stable 24/7 4.2GHz in that volt...i'm so lucky
and for XMP volt, I have no idea to be honest, I just enable it in the bios, will really look at it later on...
tl'dr thank you so much for the new insight of how to solve the 0x50! really appreciate it....If i can remember correctly, I have tried to use the default DRAM setting (without using XMP enabled) and still got the 0x50 CTD....but trying your suggestion is still a worth a try...will try this when I get home...thank you!

What is the installed operating system? Is it Windows 7 or Windows 8?
If it is Windows 8 then you need to install the wireless button driver to return that function to your notebook.
You probably need to reinstall the Realtek Card reader driver and the Intel USB 3.0 host controller driver software driver to clear the missing device driver issues.

Is it possible to upgrade BIOS without Windows installed - Satellie L30

I don't have WIndows installed on my Toshiba Satellite PSL33E. Does it possible to create boot CD to upgrade BIOS on my notebook ?

This is only possible if you would have an Toshiba traditional BIOS update version.
But the point is that Toshiba European driver page DOESNT provide such BIOS.
Theres only a windows based BIOS which means that you can update it only from running Windows OS.
Sorry, dont think that you could do this. Oohhh wait maybe the ASP in your country could help you. Maybe the authorized service provider can update it using a floppy disk.

Of course my update was successful. I am able to see the 6.6 updates in other stuffs, as for example in /etc/redhat-release. Just the progress bar when Oracle Linux is bringing up is showing "Oracle Linux Server 6.4". My guess it is some kind of image, because it changes the color as the progress bar is going forward.
Actually, your update wasn't successful, or at least, it wasn't complete. The tool responsible for the boot loader screen is plymouth and the version comes from the /etc/system-release file. If the content of that file isn't "Oracle Linux Server release 6.6", then your update hasn't updated oraclelinux-release to the latest version.
However, if that file is correct, it means that plymouth hasn't updated the initrd properly during the upgrade. You can manually trigger a rebuild of the initrd by running:
# plymouth-set-default-theme text --rebuild-initrd
And it'll rebuild it for you. However, I've never seen a complete update (via yum update) that hasn't rebuilt this properly. Did you perhaps only do a security-related update using the yum-security plugin?

Upgrade BIOS and drivers have possibly corrupted drive. OS will not boot.

Model: Toshiba P505-8980
Part Number: P6PG0U-005002
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (upgraded from Home Premium)
6 gig RAM, 500gig HD
Actions:
I haven't started up my computer in a while. First I installed the critical and optional updates (3 total) from windows update, rebooted, and Toshiba Service Center popped up and said that there was the BIOS 3.10 update and the HDD/SSD Alert update. Through the Service Center I downloaded and installed the BIOS update, at the end it seemed as if there was an error. I rebooted the computer and everything seemed ok, so I downloaded the HDD/SSD update through the Service Center. Upon rebooting the drive would not boot. (Screen remained blank with a blinking cursor and HDD light was not on.) There are no accessories/USB devices/drives attached. After a reboot I checked the BIOS and it recognizes the Hard drive, I restored all settings in BIOS to default and rebooted. The computer started receiving stop errors (blue screen) and stuck in a reboot loop. I entered the BIOS, restored default settings again and rebooted, I could get to safe mode and it would receive stop errors trying to load disk.sys file. I also tried last known good configuration and that wouldn't work either. After a while the laptop was able for me to select to try and repair the disk using the repair utility. It reported that there may be partition errors (on the last step of recovery) and I selected to repartition the drive to factory default with the Toshiba repair tools. It got to about 98-99% and received errors at the end. I tried using a Windows disk to reinstall the OS, but it reported it couldn't install on any of the drive partitions because of an error in the boot configurations. After trying to repair again it doesn't report any disks or partitions. Currently after booting it reports now that there is an error that occurred while attempting to read boot configuration. File: \Boot\BCD|Status: 0xc000000f. Guessing that the boot sector got corrupted. After reading that BIOS isn't recommended to be installed while in windows, I'm wondering if using the service center messed something up.
Question 1: Any recommended actions to take now? No recovery disk available
Question 2: Is there a way to configure the service center to download a BIOS update and be able to save it instead of only being able to install it within windows and the service center?
Thanks in Advance!

I was able to get into system recovery. This system recovery was different then the first one I came across. Underneath the Command Prompt option there was a selection for a Toshiba based restore. That is the one I tried that failed at 98-99% This system recovery just has the standard options. At first it showed me the original OS of Home Premium (recovered). I tried to repair the Home Premium and it still wouldn't work. "Startup could not repair the problem". On the many tries the probelms were either "Failed Installation" or "Partition Table". Then when I tried loading the OS it would blue screen and reboot repeatedly. So I loaded up Windows 7 Professional from a different CD to at least get the OS working. I tried Repairing but that didn't work with the same errors, and it also reported that there was no system image on the disk. I did a Custom (fresh) install and had all items copied to Windows.Old folder. So now I have an OS, BUT I can't activate it now even with the keys that I have from the old version because it said the key was only used for upgrade, not clean installs. So now I'm left with trying to find a way to get the original Home Premium image so I can load that and then upgrade since I have the keys I need. I tried doing repairs again, this time it showed me two Windows 7 Professional and one Windows 7 Home Premium. Again I tried repairing the Home Premium but it came back with the same errors. Now all that remains is just the fresh install of Windows 7 Professional that I installed but can't activate with the key. Anyway I can get/download a factory image from Toshiba? I only just bought the laptop shortly before Christmas.
