reishin Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Worked like a charm with one note, "fix for error104" were needed for me, everything else done without any problem. For the part of creating bootable dos usb - more simpler to use "Rufus" with included FreeDOS, rather than HP util and looking for the dos system files.

bbumeri Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have another question about flashing this bios. As all the y500 came pre-installed with Win 8; Is there an issue with flashing the bios after reformatting and installing a clean Win 7 version? Are there any other issues or items that should be noted before flashing this modded bios?

I think you just persuaded me to do the same! After spending a few bucks on a few parts, $5 won't hurt! LOL. Which card did you install? I have an INTEL 7260 ready to be popped in again.

There would not be an issue with windows 7 being installed. however , your bios settings may change so if windows 7 no longer boots it may have re enabled the options for windows 8. I doubt you have anything to worry about if, it no longer boots just reply to the forum ill see how i can help. 5 minutes ago, bbumeri said: I have another question about flashing this bios.
