Gateway 500s Bios problem, help!
Help,
Ran into a problem trying to update the intel bios # PT84510a.15a.0005.po3.0203061931 on a gateway 500s. The bios upgrade only works in windows. Can't update from dos. Looking for this old bios so i can try to update again. System performed a update from windows but did not ask if i wanted to backup old. restarted and then faulted. Now i can't start windows. Had downloaded update from intel. If someone can get me a copy using the intel DOS flash software used to update the bios i would greatly appreciate it or i will have to replace the MOB. Thanks, Merlin Knight |

Thanks, Merlin Knight Can you boot from a DOS boot floppy or CD? If not, you are generally, in the vernacular, screwed. If the BIOS is corrupted, there is no way to even start the machine since the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is what does the booting that permits the computer to be started so that Windows can be started so that the BIOS can be updated. Yep, eBay for a mainboard. Q |
