HOW TO UPDATE BIOS FROM USB - Pls watch the video in HD fullscreen to read stuffs clearly although I have tried to make it possible to read in small screen. LINKS:- 1)HP USB Formatt Tool- http://www.mediafire.com/?1klgatll4lulqtw 2)Bootme folder- the required dos file- http://www.mediafire.com/?4mbqahx39cdoe55 Use 7zip or winrar to extract the downloaded bootme.7z. 2)Link to ECS website http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/flashutl/index.html where you can see instructions for different BIOS updating ,its just for refrence. IMPORTANT :-Even though BIOS update does not require you to be intellectually genius person but before begning first keep these things in mind:- 1.Do you realy need to update your bios? Unless the the updated bios file supports a solution to the problem that you might be having with your motherboard and that new update has a solution then only do bios update, do not do it if you don't need to and if every thing works fine with your current bios. Make sure to read what support is added in the bios update that u are going to use on your motherboards manufacturers website. 2.If the update fails your motherboard might endup being useless -- If by mistake your bios update fails for any reason your mobo might crash ,that is problem with most of the older motherboards but nowadays new motherboards are made with a crashfree bios so new mobo might have option of recovery so pls try to get more details about your motherboard and its bios before trying out any thing.and if any things fails you are responsible NOT ME. In this vid I have shown option to boot pc from a USB device which has the necessary files and update it in DOS format . Steps are simple- 1-First make your USB device bootable with dos files in it which make usb device bootable. 2-Put your flashutility and BIOS file in the USB device . 3-Boot from USB device by setting first boot device to USB device in BIOS setup or using advanced boot menu by pressing F8,F11,ESC keys depending on what key it is for your motherboard ,type proper commands,and follow the on screen procedures. In this vid I have shown the update for my mobo ECS P4M800-M7 V1.0 so pls make sure you get details about your own motherboard and its procedure to update bios the procedure is usually similar but commands and instruction after booting from USB device Might be different so pls get proper info on that . There might be a windows based flashutility also available for your mobo so pls look for it might be simple but if you don't have then you can see the procedure in this video. This vid is mostly usefull for updating bios of older motherboards which require you to make a bootable Floppy but nowadays no one even have have a floppy drive in their pc and floppy disk have became like stuff from history .
BTW the hp tool doesnt work on windows 10(gives format failed error),so I used it on windows 7.
