HP Omnibook 6000 PHoenixBios upgrade error
Posted: Sat Jun 17, 2006 8:42 pm
Hi!
I need help...
I have a HP Omnibook 6000 with Phoenix Bios EA.M1.80 installed.
Because hybernation freezes the notebook in Win2000 Professional (known bug) I have to upgrade my bios.
I therefore downloaded a new bios (EAM183.exe) from the HP site and with that program I made a biosdisk.
B.t.w.
I don't have a A-drive installed so I'm using a usb-A drive instead.
I shut down the notebook and started windows 2000 in safe mode with command-prompt so I can acces my floppy-drive.
When I go to the floppydrive and from there run phlash.exe I get an error message: "File open failed on PLATFORM.bin"
Does anyone of you had the same problem?
And... can you help me fix this?
Thanx in advance!
Greetings,
Fisherman
