BIOS Updates forum

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

Email HP and ask them how to upgrade the bios without a floppy drive. This is going to be interesting...
