I have been trying for ages (weeks) to try and flash my BIOS with an upgrade for my Toshiba Laptop. It is a Toshiba Equium A60.
I can get it to load Windows 98 (except that it tells me that the USB devices wont work because of conflicts in the BIOS)
My friend has exactly the same Laptop, and the BIOS Version is V1.9 and mine is V1.65 To me, this very simply means that mine is out of date!

I have downloaded the newest BIOS Version from Toshiba’s website, and they say to execute the .exe file by using 1.4 Floppy Drive. This I do not have !

You can also execute this file in Windows, except that in Windows 98 it tells me I have an error! “Failure_DLL DetecChipset”

I have Googled this, and the only website that has the same error code is in German! And although Google will let you translate it, it don’t tell me anything!
As a last resort, I thought I could burn a CD, make that into a bootable disk, and add the Toshiba file to it.
Tried this with BartsPE but this is based on Windows XP and I cannot load XP, it gets as far as the XP Logo, then freezes. This is why I suspect the BIOS requires an update.
So, after more Googling, I have finished up at this website, hoping to make a Boot Disk, with the Toshiba Flash Files attached, but it has to be done in “Windows 98” and not XP
So………… that is my problem, anyone have any ideas please?
By the way, I used one of the "Freebie" Logons, and it worked a treat, thanks.
And, If you want to mail me with any ideas "geoff_and_olya@yahoo.co.uk"
Thanks
