Can I use this Bios update file for the v570 in Windows 8? It only lists up to Windows 7 in operating systems.

Also is this the correct MD5 for the Bios update:

Hi
The bios should be updated in windows 7 only and shouldn't be updated in any other os other than windows 7.

N500 bios update Windows 7 not working

I've tried to run the winflash utility from Lenovo support to update N500 to v1.10, but it says it can't load the driver once I have started the flashing. Running as administrator and in compatibility mode doesn't change it. Is it possible to flash the bios with a DOS startup? The bios is in a wph format and not bin in the winflash package.
Solved!

bios update is for vista, not windows 7.

Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG9E) - After BIOS update Windows doesn't boot

Reboot went fine after BIOS upgrade and Windows XP logo appears loads for few seconds then beep and reboot - last known good or start Windows normally same effect.
Rebooting back to start again - this is a brand new laptop - using BIOS from Toshibas official download site.
Pretty annoyed as trying to figure out how to refresh or downgrade BIOS.
Have taken battery and RAM out to see if I can clear it?
Any ideas anyone?

Hi
Hmm this is very strange usually if something would went wrong during the BIOS update procedure then your notebook would not boot up.
It would be dead.
But in your case the notebook boots up but just the OS does not start properly
Maybe you should try to reinstall the OS again?
I see you are using the Win XP I think the Vista was preinstalled. Am I right?
Hmm. in my opinion you should try to boot from the Toshiba recovery disk and should try to reinstall the OS in order to check if this issue could be solved.

Hello,
You can upgrade the BIOS in Windows 8, no problem, but should you is another matter.
I've always had a "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" attitude towards BIOS upgrades, however
I do try to keep my ThinkPads current.
The BIOS updates are here for your machine, pick the 32 or 64 bit installation, depending
on your OS.

D20 bios update Windows 8.1

Hi all, i own a D20 Station with dual Xeon X5650. It's a second hande product so it came with a bios dated 2010. Now i saw there are updates and i want to flash the latest one. The problem is that i have only Windows 8.1 (it's installed) and have no idea how ti make the dos Update (regarding that, i have never done it, so i don't trust myself on that). So is there a way to use a utility on windows 8 and flash it. On normal PCs, the mobo is having a dedicated software within the bios for flashing, the D20 does not. Any help will be greate !
I can try the dos update, but someone needs to help me with a step by step istruction.
Thanks alot.

I'll help you out here:
Set up a DOS USB stick per these instructions: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/46707-ms-dos-bootable-flash-drive-create.html
Copy the files Lenovo's DOS installer created into the root of the flash drive you just set up (yes, it looks like there's nothing on the drive).
Reboot and install the BIOS.
Hope that helps.

ProBook 4420s Failed BIOS Update - Windows 8.1

Never mind...I realized I posted this in the wrong support forum.

Hi Adarsh_Johny,
I am sorry to hear that you have lost your Windows 8.1 on your HP Pavilion g6 2005TX Notebook PC.
I understand that you would like to downgrade the BIOS. Here is a document for Restoring the BIOS that should help with the downgrade.
If you are still having a problem with Windows 8.1, you would need to contact the Windows Support and Linux Support to resolve this issue.
I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.

Need traditional BIOS update for Qosmio F30-111

I would like to get the traditional BIOS update like described in BIOS update FAQ. I don't have windows installed for updating it. (and I don't want to install it)
Can someone supply it? 3.90 version.
Thanks

Hello
if you do not want to install windows and you need to run the bios update windows software , then you can try this method
Instructions
1. download the BIOS
2. Unzip to root of USB flash drive (formatted as FAT32) {"P0041v390.exe" is inside "bios-20080505133719.zip" v3.90}
3. Unplug the USB flash drive and power down.
4. Insert the 32 bit Vista DVD and boot from it (you are not actually going to end up installing it or doing anything, this just gets you to the 32 bit WinPE environment)
5. Click through until you get to the screen with the activate online checkbox and uncheck it.
6. Connect the USB flash key to the computer
7. Press Shift-F10 to open a command prompt
8. Change to the correct drive for the USB flash drive
9. type "P0041v390.exe" {or what ever} and press enter
10. after the flash is complete, before letting the machine restart, EJECT the DVD. (remember, nothing was installed and nothing really happened except you had access to a 32 bit WinPE environment which you needed to flash the BIOS).
{color:#ff0000}I did not try this method , try it and tell me
{color}
good luck ;)

Windows Vista 64 bit and bios update how? K9A2

OK Is there anyway to really update my bios so I can use my Phenom II if I'm running Vista 64? Ive read the live update info and I'm not sure that works with the 64 bit vista. The i read about the flash drive bios update and I'm not sure that's 64 bit compatible. As a side note why don't they have liveupdate 64bit compatible yet? Its been out for some time and windows 7 will be 64 bit only I would think.
MSI k9A2
Windows Vista 64 bit

The flash drive bios update is not depending on the operating system.

Sadly MSI hasn't yet supplied us with a 64-bit version of LiveUpdate.
Personally I've been using AMI's Windows Flash Utility AFUWIN.exe several times. Works flawlessly even when running Vista x64.

T61 upgraded to Windows 7, now can't install Rescue and Recovery or Bios update.

I have a T61 6459 CTO that had XP SP3 on it. I upgraded to WIndows 7. I tried to install TVTVRNR450_025en, but I get an error msg "Rescue and Recovery does not support installing from the Operating System which upgrade from a legacy pre-load system." I tried deleting all old RNR and CSS programs in the old files after the install, but nothing seems to work. There is nothing listed in my add/remove programs. My Thinkvantage button doesn't work. How do I remove the old RNR? Should I have done that prior to installing Windows 7? Do I need to re-install my XP backup and start over? My Bios update extracts, but doesn't install. Help!

Hi, FSURN82
I did some research and was able to find this thread from Lenovo Forums. There are a few other people having similar issues. For some, installing an older version of Rescue and Recovery (sometimes even the one for their OS before the upgrade) would work fine. For some, however, they could not get it to work, so they would create backups manually using Windows.
As for the BIOS issue, what version are you currently running and to what version are you trying to upgrade?
Thanks,
Adam

Yoga 2 Pro : BIOS Update on a clean Windows 8.1 Pro install

Hi,
I recently bought the Yoga 2 Pro. Like everybody I have the yellow problem.
After buying it, I reinstalled my computer with a fresh Windows 8.1 pro install.
I was wondering if anybody has already tried updating the BIOS on a clean Windows 8.1 install ?
And also if there is any reported bug with the BIOS update.
I already crashed a while back one of my previous computer and I would prefer if this don't append again
Thanks,
Best,

Not, i'm speaking about the BIOS update. The windows 8.1 pro installation was fine.

I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-installed on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on.
I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

at a guess you need to reset bios to ahci

U430 BIOS Update Procedure (fixes wake from sleep issue on Windows 8.1)

Hopefully this will make the BIOS update process a bit easier. The following steps address two common questions (Failed BIOS Update and the Windows message about improperly configured Secure Boot). NOTE: After a successful BIOS update you will want to check additional items in the BIOS not directly covered in the steps below (e.g. Intel Virtualization.... the update disabled this for me.)
U430 BIOS Update Procedure:
1. Download the BIOS update from Lenovo (it will be in .exe format... the program will install new BIOS).
2. Shut down computer.
3. Use the "Novo" button (tiny button on left side near Power button).
4. Enter BIOS setup.
5. Under "Security" select "Secure Boot" and choose "DISABLED" (this allows the BIOS update program to work properly).
6. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes".
7. Computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (it will have a message stating "Secure Boot not configured properly" this is expected).
8. Run the Lenovo BIOS program (this will reboot the computer and you should see an update status screen). Once finished, the computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (the "Secure Boot" message will still be there) and then turn the computer OFF (I've found that turning off the computer from the log-in screen doesn't completely shut down the computer. If that's the case then hold the Power button until it does shut down).
9. Use the "Novo" button and enter BIOS setup.
10. Under "Security" make sure "Secure Boot" is ENABLED.
11. Also under "Security" select "Restore Factory Keys" and hit Enter. Select "YES" (this step along with our previous step will make Windows happy).
12. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes" (computer reboots and all should be fine!)

Hi,
Generally speaking, this problem should be caused by hardware driver problem. Such as Graphic driver, NIC driver, etc. Please check computer driver edition, make sure they are compatibility with Windows 8.1.
Actually, I made a search on Acer official site, the model of your computer doesn't have all hardware driver provided for Windows 8.1. Such as Graphic driver. You can refer to the link below for more details.
http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
In my opinion, it would be better to contact ACER, to check whether this serial computer had the same problem with yours.

Is there a Windows 8 IPIWB-PB BIOS Update?

I purchased a GTX 750 ti and I'm having trouble installing it. After uninstalling video drivers, I boot the computer with the 750 ti and the HP blue screen comes up with a series of beeps and then I get a black screen. I've been doing a lot of reading around the forums and from the looks of everything, it looks like HP doesn't support the 750ti. Would anybody be able to confirm this?
I figured the solution may rest in a BIOS update, but it doesn't look like there is a Windows 8 update for IPIWB-PB motherboard. Will installing the Windows 7 update work?

While HP may or may not have a BIOS update for the motherboard, The issue is lack of UEFI Support in the graphics card. Your graphics card manufacturer may have put out an update. A lot of people have been disabling the secureboot option and enabling legacy boot to get around the issue.
usually if you do nothing the computer will boot after 5-6 sets of beeps staying on the black screen.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03653200
Erico would you be be able to confirm and advise if the PCIe security option :
disables security on the said PCIe channel
or
disables the channel itself as suggested by lasvegaswireman in the thread below.

Equium A110-276 BIOS update for 32-bit Windows 7

Hello all, I'd like to update the BIOS on my Equium A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and 'Windows Vista 32 Bit'. I have Windows 7 32-bit on this laptop. If I choose 'OS Independent' it warns me 'This Bios is NOT compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!' and if I choose 'Windows Vista 32 Bit' it reads 'This Bios is only compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!'
The exclamation marks are from Toshiba, not me ;)
So am I stuffed and need to stay with my current BIOS, or can I use the Windows Vista BIOS update?
Thanks to all who can help!

Hi Paolo30
I've been having some problems with the fan, and before I bring it in for repair I wanted to try all options. It appears to be seated/connected fine, the area around it is clean, I've done all of the fan-related troubleshooting I can except the last option which is to re-flash the BIOS which a number of people have had success with (with regards to the fan).
The original OS is Windows XP so I'd have to recover it back to XP and then re-update to Windows 7 and I'd rather have surgery than do that again! If it's not in the cards then it's a trip to the repair shop, I reckon. Thanks for responding!
