BIOS Updates forum

I tried running the bios agent but it caused errors and shut down.
So i ran bios wizard 2.1 and it gave me this report:

BTW i am trying to install a 40gig toshiba MK4021GAS model hard drive in my Toshiba Portege 7020ct I keep getting a no hard drive detected message. I thought that upgrading the bios might help

Lots of missing information in your BIOS Wizard report. Did you run it straight from DOS?

yep...it is pretty old P2 processor.

Did you try smaller harddisk?
