Just be careful... I managed to fry my BIOS while updating it (due to a |
| 7 |
memory stick going bad, thus writing garbage to the flash), a couple |
| 8 |
months ago. Had I known the recovery procedure when it happened, I might |
| 9 |
have been able to recover it, but due to lack of knowledge, I screwed |
| 10 |
that up too. |

I ended up on my netbook, ordering a newly flashed BIOS chip for my main |
| 13 |
machine over the net from California.... Suffice it to say that I now |
| 14 |
know WAYYY more than I ever wanted to know, about recovering from a bad |
| 15 |
BIOS flash. |
