BIOS Boot-USB-Stick

@Costa Sorry, but what is your problem? You can boot your stick, and you can see the files (BIOS file + flashtool) with the DIR command after you are booting to C:\>. So, why dont you start the update under C: ? Drive E: under Windows is ok, and the drive letter changes to C: if you are booting from your stick. Thats ok too ;-)

Hi, Using your detailed instructions and nifty little tool, I was able to boot to the C prompt with my USB Stick. I have also copied the required .BIO file into the stick. However, when I type in the path of the file, instead of the BIOS updating, it reboots to windows instead. My USB stick is in the E drive, but I can't access it from the DOS prompt. The BIOS file I copied to the USD Stick can be seen when I checked with the "C:\> dir" command. Is that normal? Did I miss something or do something wrong? Please help. Have been trying for weeks but to no avail. Thanks

@Narendra Jatav Please read http://www.biosflash.de/e/bios-update-error.htm Otherwise you would need a new BIOS-Chip, or your BIOS-Chip must be reprogrammed.

@hazler You should use the original flashtool from the manufacturer of your mainboard/notebook/brand pc.

I have been trying and trying to update bios this all started because my acer 4810t wouldn't recognize the Ram upgrade from 2x2 to 2x4 so I was advised by crucal to update my bios It must be the 4g stick. But I was wondering why I couldn't get my bio files to show up in the radio box I even tried moving it to different locations. any ideas looks like I am going to have to pay to get this done. I tried the USB... to format my usb stick and it formatted but when I went to install it , well it all it did was show a few lines of text about the creator of what I believe was the usb flash format program. I entered into the world of computers with the air force in 1975 and I told my friends and family after my enlistment had ended that computers will end up in everyone home but you will be constantly fooling with them in order to get them to run at peak performance I also said that we would have outposts on Mars before I had grand kids well one out of two isn't bad. Sincerely Pat . I am very suprised that the installation of bio's hasn't created a slew of companys that offer software to easy the updating process. But like I said this is the first thing that has stumped me in close to 40 years of dicking around with these things. I think that the Ipod was the biggest bill of goods that ever caught on. I can do the same thing with a usb stick that my kid needs a ipod to get the same thing accomplished and the smart phone I mean really, really people spend more time screwing with those things. Hell since I stopped selling cars I don't even need a cell phone. but I love my computer.

You are simply legend my dear friend! It worked like charm. I was really frustrated with my computer not detecting my sata drive. Came across your blog and did exactly what you mentioned and to see my computer detecting my harddrive put a smile on my face and made me feel like hugging you. Thanks again!

Thanks mate. I was really struggling to find a way to update my Linux netbook. This was simple and quick.
