Alternative way to get rid of the W R O N G  M A C H I N E error message
thanks to Guest Christian

You do not need to download anything, instead do this:

• Insert your cd.
• Boot system using cd (here is where you will get the W R O N G M A C H I N E error).
• Change to the drive letter of the cd... mine was q: yours may be something else.
• Go to the 'base' folder by typing "cd base" and press enter.
• Type "os.bat" and this will start the ghosting process.

Your system should now be ghosting your computer to factory settings


DOWNLOAD
The most recent build (v1.0 build 60303, dated 2006-03-03) can be downloaded HERE (it includes ALL updates for the models listed in the DESCRIPTION section of this post)


DESCRIPTION
This utility must be used whenever the system board is replaced on any of the applicable models listed below and should be used instead of the DMI Write tool that is contained in the Toshiba Test and Diagnostics for the specific model. It will eliminate the "Wrong machine" messages when you try to restore the factory software image from the Config Builder CD or PIRAD CD/DVD. This tool will restore the "Manufacturer" and "Model" DMI values (strings) on supported platforms. Restoring these DMI strings will eliminate the "Wrong machine" error when you try to restore your factory software from the restore CDs/DVD.


It applies to these models:

Libretto 100CT, 110CT, 50CT, 70CT
Portege 300CT, 3010CT, 3025CT, 3110CT, 3015CT, 320CT, 3480CT, 7010CT, 7140CT, M205-S809, M200, R100, 2010, 4010, 2000, 4005, 4000, 3490CT, 3020CT, M205-S810, 7220CTe, 7200CTe, 7200CT, 7020CT, 7000CT, 3440CT

If you want to apply the utility, I suggest you back up your original DMI settings first using DMICFG's Save DMI function. So if something goes wrong, you will be able to restore it.

DMICFG.exe can only be run in DOS real-mode.

No, THIS will fix it.

This util is not able to handle the BIOS of the Toshiba 5205 series, but it ran on my Desktop with AWARD BIOS. Huge possibilities to alter the DMI information stored in the BIOS . It reminds me of the days when i modded ABIT KT7A BIOS mith 'modbin' & 'cbrom' and changed the EPA logo to a custom one

Btw i just used TOSHiBA DMI update utitility, but it shows only the 5200-Sxxx series for me, and choosing it results in still showing W R O N G M A C H I N E in big old DOS letters

[®®®]

TOSHiBA released an update for the 5205 issue.

Build 50429a fixes a problem for some Satellite 5205 models, where only "Satellite 5200" was offered in the menu.

The new build can be downloaded HERE

More Toshiba Laptops can enjoy the DMI update:

Updated post to reflect new release of TOSHiBA DMI Update Utility v1.0 build 60303:
"Build 60303 fixes an issue where Satellite 5205-S705 units were programmed with the incorrect DMI model string."

Also thread is now open for discussion and questions.

Desktop Managment Interface. Applications can use DMI to identify/readout certain information of your PC or laptop. The description for what this update does you can find in the first post.
The important thing is that Toshiba recovery CDs/DVDs rely on certain DMI info, if they are incorrect you cannot use them.

[®®®]

Thanks for sharing Can anybody affected from the WRONG MACHINE issue confirm or share his experience with this procedure? Nevertheless i think it's safe and can add this to the first post.

[®®®]

I know of no place where to download. Try calling Toshiba Support and let them send you a set of Disks.
