Successful BIOS update to 1.0A

Followed instructions from Cantisque on July 4th 2008. Basically download HP's disk tool and win98 files from files.extremeoverclocking.com, and use the MSI 1.0A utility. But I actually used the Advent 1.0A BIOS file from my previous blog entry, by changing the .BAT file to refer to the Advent BIOS image not the MSI one.

Seems my BIOS 1.08 is the reason my page up and down keys don't work - but now they do go!

Update went smoothly, page up and down now work, thankfully. And Home and End.

Failed attempt to update BIOS to 1.0A

Using the 1.0A file at:

I used the technique here, but put on an SD card:

1. Prepare pendrive with working BIOS version. You only have to copy file with BIOS on your pendrive and change file extention to "rom". Nothing more. So if you have EN011IMS.109, rename it to EN011IMS.ROM.
2. Insert prepared pendrive in to USB port
3. Remove the battery and disconnect power cord.
4. Press and hold power button
5. Connect power cord.
6. Release power button.
7. Press power button twice
8. Press "Del" to enter BIOS setup
9. Go to "Recovery" tab
10. Select "Proceed with flash update" and press Enter
11. Update process will begin. DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY OR REMOVE POWER CORD!
12. After process is finished, press Enter and turn off your Wind (you can remove your power cord now).
13. Insert battery and connect power cord.
14. Start your Wind, go to BIOS setup and load default settings ("Load setup defaults"). Save and exit BIOS.

Unfortunately the BIOS doesn't seem to have the Recovery tab :-(
