Toshiba release BIOS updates in various forms for some devices, including bootable ISOs. However, ludicrous as it may seem, in the case of this laptop model, they seem intent only upon supporting flashes from within Windows. I asked for Toshiba's help with this; they told me to put Windows back on. I told them to sod off.
I am debating a few options: 1. Try flashing from a BartPE build of Windows XP 2. Swap a hard drive from another laptop into it, with Windows on, and flash from it. 3. Cave in and spend several hours "restoring" Windows, then reversing the process again. I will post back here the method I use as it may be beneficial to others experiencing this issue. I'll avoid discussing it further, though, as it's not exactly pertinent to the bug itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667405 Title: Toshiba Satellite R630 freezes while running on battery -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
