So far I remember, I updated a BIOS 2 Times the last 5 years via http://www.biosflash.de/bios-update-anleitung.htm
a) first time I ordered a new flashed chip (my AMD K6-III box)
b) second time I got a burned CD with a programm to load automatically the bios at start (my HP7100)

Did you update your BIOS using Windows or Linux?

Here is something else to add to your armoury:

You won't get any friction from me on that TB0ne; I completely agree.

I was just voicing my psychoanalytic thoughts on it.

So far I remember it was a DOS programm starting at Boot from a CD (no HDD boot whatever Linux or Win).

If you flash the bios directly within the bios, you'll need a DOS file, when doing it from the bios you're completely independent of the OS. Find instructions on how to load that sp~.exe file to a usb, cd, or floppy - then boot into your bios and flash it from the bios tools - doesn't matter if your pc has Windows on it or not. Assuming that exe file is the correct bios. You should be able to get the BIOS direct from the pc vendor website. Example: Asus has a flash utility tool that needs to be loaded onto accessible media (usb) along with the bios rev file itself - then boot into BIOS, go to tools, run EZ flash, navigate to the usb run the flash utility, it will ask for the bios rev file, nav to it and run - has nothing to do with what OS is installed on the pc.

CorrectOmondO you will lose your system completely if it is the wrong one, then have to try damange control for that then, sometimes, it can be recoverd, if you back up your BIOS first before flashing helps to prevent this,

damage control can be a good learning tool too

He just likes to see her butt shaking aptitude, and not her ability to think of what to say with words and actions, she is a half start, half brained woman that uses her body and not her mind in the proper manner to show a prospective mate that she is a caring honest person, with causes and effect now in play, he stops using his one head in the proper manner to assess if she is really worth a catch to make her his mate. instead he ends up using his other head to do the thinking for him, causing it to be Lust filled relationship that is keeping them together. the whole relationship is a fake, and he is telling himself that she is real. What he is actually doing is lying to himself in relationship to her. Because she is using a lie to entice him to do her bidding. it all leads to two people just lying to themselves turning it into a superficial love.

I see no relationship with that song about lust and Linux, unless someone has a fetish for Linux which then would explain it all, woooouldn't it?

Fixed it for ya.

I think the whole idea of the video is to 'back it up'.

If I was preparing to perform a BIOS flash I'd most certainly back up my files.

jamison20000e 01-11-2016 11:04 AM

Yes. Sorry for being so vague routinely...
