iloveb00bs Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) i'm a stupid noob when it comes to dos. I have this modded bios for the r3 but have no clue how to use it to flash the bios. i already made a usb bootable stick but i just don't know the commands to flash it. i saw some instructions but they seemed very vague. here is some reference materials:M17xR3 Bios mod released - Page 4_____________________________________-solved - see post #2 and #3 Edited July 19, 2011 by svl7 added [solved] tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) okay I checked it out and it seems you can just use your bootable USB drive hit F12 at the computers star which launches the boot menu and select USB device. Then command prompt loads and type in the exact name of your bios file including the .exe and press enter. That's it, it should complete and you should be a able to reboot and be on the new version of the bios. Now if you don't see command prompt after booting from the drive reformat the USB drive and add the windows 98 boot files through the hp format tool mentioned in our AMD VBIOS update for the 5870's thread posted by Brian... We provide all the necessary links to make a bootable USB drive. Edited June 28, 2011 by mw86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 That's right, it should work with just typing in the filename (and extension) and hitting enter as far as I know.If you can't remember the name of the file, just write "dir" and press enter (without the quotes) and it will list you all the files in the root folder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
