    Ooops, sorry for the misunderstanding, I just had a look at that Dos D620 package. I thought you were saying that there was a bios.hdr file as well as a Bios.gz file. I see now what you mean. Yes the D620_A10 file is the Dell executable designed to flash the D620 so you need that.
    The bios.gz file contains the new bios that is modded for your PC so you need that.
    The bat file just executes the "D620_A10 -readgzfile" command so that you don't have to type it all out. you can just type Win7 at the command line instead if that file is present, if not then you have to type the entire command D620_A10 -readgzfile so technically you don't need the bat file but you need to execute that command to tell the Dell file you want it to use that bios instead of the one Dell provided.
    Hope that helps

    No, we tried both the Dos version and the DCCU windows versions, right. Both times if failed to flash the boot screen if I recall correctly. (I have about 2 days that were just a blur). Since then I have tried to rebuild the Dell flasher but since it is the only one I have encountered with 2 gzip files in it, it is designed slightly different and I always get errors when trying to re-extract the modded bios. I am still trying though. I am thinking tonight I may have a look at the older versions of the dell flasher for that model. Perhaps I can work something out there...

    yes that help, allot. I know the bat file is not needed but i was just unsure about the HDR file. I will flash it in a couple of day's as i need it right now and don't want to risk it.

    What should i except when in dos? like will i see that it's flashing (text say flashing etc) and will the PC just reboot on it's own

    If I remember correctly you see a confirmation screen, says to press Y for yes, or any other key to abort, It then flashes and reboots on it's own (if you press Y)
