    Thank you both, you are awesome.

    I am getting an error "Bios image file cannot be found" from the update utility, I have gotten this in the past.

    I have recently flashed to a non-whitelist bios for a Lenovo x60 non-tablet model to get my wifi working. Could that be the problem?

    Thanks again.

    Unpack the archive and run flash.bat as Administrator
    or
    flash from pure DOS (burn CD using ..\Modified_WL\DOS\7juj13uc.iso and boot from CD)

    Hi Serg. This machine has no CD drive, I have to do everything with a usb drive. I have no option for CD. I tried making a bootable usb drive with Rufus (didn't work) and Unetbootin (didn't work).

    Sorry to be so noobish. Any idea how I can create a bootable usb from that ISO?

    Thanks

    Make a pure DOS bootable USB stick with Rufus (FAT32), unpack .iso to the stick (do not overwrite command.com file), boot to DOS and run lcreflsh.bat

    Code:
    Error during flash: error 99 (179)
    Grrrr. This is not proving to be easy!
