    It is phoenix bios on my Inspiron 700m laptop.

    After research on net, there are two methods the extract the rom.

    1st, in dos flash utility, use 700m_a07.exe -writeromfile or -writehdrfile to extract the rom file from the utility, which I tried but failed. It seems there is no such parameter for the 700m_a07.exe

    2nd, use Winphlash Utility to backup it from the laptop rom. And this is the 700m_a07.bak file I provided.

    It's a rom file, just with . bak extension. Hope somebody can help me! Thanks!

    Yes, looks like that way. I've got Phoenix Mod Tool v0.014 and I have tried to mod this BIOS myself, but got the same result as adrpat.
    BTW, where can I find newer Phoenix Mod Tool?

    I thought, that there is a problem with the flash itself (maybe flashing with special commands is required).
    So i extracted the bios flash floppy, the flash.bat suggest to flash with /x /s - thats what i did

    So i have no clue whats wrong :(
    Damn i hate those phonix bios :eek:

    It will not open for me in my Phoneix Mod Tool....I think this is a DELL Special Phoenix Bios which is almost hard to modify.

    phlash16 will open .WPH files...you would have to change the .ROM to .WPH

    Is it enough just to rename it, because I have tried that already and it didn't work. I flash in DOS.

    I have no clue...I just go off the website and don't read anything about it...if you have a special bios that is not on the website, I will attempt to mod it.
