okay what is the most safest method to flash phoenix bios? i am running vista 64bit ultimate. should i go through winflash that hp provides for their bios flashing?? or the dos method??
and it is safe?! using that winflash instead of the one that hp supplies?! I have an intel centrino processor if that makes any difference?!
i my self always flash moded bios in dos but thats just me flashed HP / GATEWAY in dos my lenovo was in windows
i dont know hp brand but i flased mod bios with that winflash software from windows 7 ultimate rtm x86 successfully. ( Acer Aspire 5920G has Phoenix Bios )
My processor is core2duo santa rosa series (T7100) and Intel 965pm chipset, Nvidia 8600m GS 256mb., 4gb. ddr2 ram 667mhz.
Exact processor you have is usually irrelevant when it comes to BIOS flashing. Its the make and model/version of the BIOS itself that is a major factor. Hands down, DOS flashing is the safest. Prepare and format a USB flash drive for booting from DOS, so that you can flash safely and not brick your system. Unless you have an older system, or one you built yourself, you probably don't have a floppy drive. And with some of these newer systems using 4 megabyte and 8 megabyte BIOSes, a floppy is useless!
hey your laptop and my laptop are the same mine is intel core 2 duo processor and santa rose, nvidia 8600m gs ,4gb. ddr2 ram 667mhz ram,,Intel 965pm chipset,,, but I can not flash my BIOS on wın7 64bit ultimate
yeah i have the exact same specifications! i just flashed it with the winphlash x64 i got from hp site. But i still have SLIC 2.0 i believe...someone told me that F.59a was modified to have slic 2.1..but i see slic 2.0 i think..if i am looking correctly where i am suppose to be!
do you have same brand and model or diffrent brand or model. my notebook brand is Acer and model : Aspire 5920G-102G16Mi may be win7 x64 os problem ? i flashed moded bios with win7 rtm x86
