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

http://www.bootdisk.com has a drflash disk (drdos bootable disk for bios flashing).

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
BIOS file checksum :0AB3H
Pres ESC to cancel, any key to continue...

"I hit any key"

Erasing... 256KB OK
Programming ... 2556KB 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:
