I want to update Note Sony Bios
Posted: Wed Dec 08, 2004 8:59 am
I've just bought a secondhand notebook Sony Vaio PCG-505V with PhoenixBIOS Note 4.0:
- BIOS version: R3128R0;
- Serial number: 28981101-1309291
I have a Floppy; no CD drive. Now I want to use a USB drive to boot and format/fdisk HDD, then reinstall Windows.
I read on the website of Phoenix that, if I update BIOS I can boot from USB CD-rom Drive, floppy, ZIP in DOS environment.
So I think that I can format, fdisk and reinstall Windows via USB after updating BIOS.
I found a program name BIOS R0213P1 For Windows 2000 and Me. I don't know if I use this exe file to update my BIOS.
Can you tell me about this? Or can you give me an advice and how can I backup BIOS and update BIOS with which program?
Thanks in advance!
Best regard!
