Can anyone help me find an upgrade for this bios?

The clevo site removed all bios upgrades :cry:

Well,

I found the bios by surfing on these forums. I don't know if it's an update or not. But want to give it a try.

I don't know how to create a start up disk like the readme stats. Can someone please help.

Thanks

I created a boot disk using drflash disk

Copied the files from the bios download onto it. I replaced the autoexec.bat from the drflash with the bios download provided.

Restart the laptop with the disk in.

The KAPOK (R) FLASH BIOS Programmer . Version 1.44 - starts
says:

Model number : 220C
Flash memory : AMIC A29002T
BIOS file is loading ...23t11023.bin

Pres ESC to cancel, any key to continue...

"I hit any key"

Erasing... 256KB OK

It is now safe to turn off your computer. A:\>

Restart the laptop... same old bios I had before loads up... I hit the key to edit the bios config.

Same old Bios loads:

Version Info:
SystemSoft Corporation for 630/540 chipset
BIOS Version: 1.00.03 Date 10/22/97

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I replace the old bios with the downloaded one? :cry:
