creating .bin file out of Toshiba bios download
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 10:45 am
Greetings all...
I have a client Notebook Toshiba satellite a30 that now is a brick .
Flashing bios seemed to start O.K. but failed at about 60%
Now I have an adapter for my burner but the file on the floppy that the Toshiba program makes is too big for the flash rom .
They must be doing new things like compression these days(I am way out of touch these days and don't have a hope of getting up to speed on disassembler)
What can be done to make an image file out of that info in the .rom file.
I could see this problem described on the web yet .
There seems to be a lot of well-versed folks here, hope it's been done before .
Not expecting a freebie
