BIOS Updates forum

I'm sorry do you mean that you are programming the bootblock and it wont read? I don't understand what you mean by being in the bootblock. Eventually using my method will work or do as the previous person suggested and put everything on a cd.

If you were referring to me then you are welcome. Glad I could help. Anyway yeah freedos in safe mode worked wonders for me too. Using the 3.14 or the 3.13 doesn't make a bit of a difference as I found both to work for me.

What happened to Borg Number One? It seems all his posts are from two years ago. On every forum I've been to that he participated in. Here, Rebels Haven, and various other bios sites. Just a poof, and no borg?

Hey bud sorry for the late reply I just saw this post here. Good news could be that you aren't screwed. I had plenty of bad flashes with the exact same mobo on my compaq sr1750nx. This is what I did to recover. First either get a floppy drive or usb memory stick, and a blank cd-r. Next navigate over...

edwin since you are the one whom supplied the bios check your pm i sent you .

Well basically I "unlocked" the disabled features in the bios, including ram timing, LDT timing or lightning data transfer, and everything else you could think of that is in there.

hey edwin should i give the 3.14 a mod?

sorry have been on a bios adventure lately and haven't had time to check back. I got modbin from around the net and yeah I meant version 6.0 my bad. It was cbrom 2.19 that I was talking about...lol sorry about the confusion. I am testing a few things still at the moment.

I am using the winflash linked in this thread. I think the problem was with the onboard video. I got paranoid after not being able to fix the 100% cpu issue and tried to reinstall windows but after windows setup loaded the drivers for sata controllers and what not it said out of range on my monitor ...

Ok I was having quite the time reflashing to my old bios because both winflash and the dos award flash version 822a were saying that i didn't have an award bios.....luckily I was able to get winflash to work after a few more tries and overwrite the 3.14 with the old one. Did I miss something? My com...

hmm after upgrading bios xp media center has 100% cpu usage, and fedora core takes forever to load send mail..... winhexing the 3.14 bios shows evaluation version not for resale or something along those lines. Any help at this point would be appreciated. Oh another thing is that sometimes now my com...

Oh and sorry for the double post but I just wanted to let people from previous posts know that if you have no options you can try to flash from either freedos or a nice linux live distro like slax. Just google freedos and it should take you where you need to go. Place all files you need on one boota...

Edwin please send me the 3.14 bios for my SR1750NX. I'm not sure if it's with all hp bioses but fedora core 6 reports an ACPI error timer not connected to bios with version 3.13..... Maybe that is what is up with the high level of cpu usage? Anyway I would like to see if 3.14 will fix it, and it wil...
