Hello and good day! I just stumbled across this thread whilst looking for a solution to repair my NB100 netbook. I don't understand how to create the pendrive files. When I download the BIOS update from Toshiba I only get a file named "AR210.exe" and no other files. Please help, any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance......
BOBERT01 thanks a lot YOU ARE MY HEROOOOO!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I JUST REGISTRATION on this site just FOR YOU!!! for big THANKS!!!
Tomorrow friend will bring to me Sony Vaio with locked bios... It has same H2O BIOS. Please can you tell me is this solution with pen drive good for sony too? Thanks
Sorry to jump on an old post but I have a similar issue flash didn't finish properly and i turned notebook off manually. It loads bios but when loading win 7 it blue screens and turns off quickly. I have tried to repair boot etc no joy so I am thinking its due to the bios update not completing, I have made bootable flash drive but cannot get all specified files as above only AR210 can someone help me past this point?
