Flashing BIOS via USB

Recommended Posts

Greetings... Picked me up a used D620 (Nvidia) with an early A07 bios and no Operating System. I see that Bios Version 10 is supported for the boot pack and EDP. Am I able to update via USB, rather than loading XP and using the .exe? Thanks... and keep up the great work boys! ssprod

Follow the WIKI - http://www.osxlatitude.com/custom-bios-update-with-slic-apple-logo-and-edps-dsdt/'>http://www.osxlatitude.com/custom-bios-update-with-slic-apple-logo-and-edps-dsdt/

 

Updating via USB boot stick works fine.

 

Here's my take on the process as it gives some links to assist

 

unetbootin is used to create a boot USB stick(http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/09/create-a-bootable-freedos-usb-drive-on-windows/)with freedos

 

Once created copy the D620_OSX_NVIDIA.EXE to the usb stick (unzipped from the correct download from

http://www.osxlatitude.com/custom-bios-update-with-slic-apple-logo-and-edps-dsdt/).

 

Boot off the usb stick and choose the (this is from memory) "boot without drivers" or some such option (basically all your after is a dos prompt to enable you to execute the D620_OSX_NVIDIA.EXE (the name will be truncated due to dos limitations) program from the drive leeter of the USB stick (d:?).
