Bios for Radedit?

feedback · May 21, 2002, 12:50 AM

I'm trying out the new version of rad edit, but I need an image of my bios. I'm using a laptop and have the M6- how can I get this image for radedit?

Very simple, download the flashrom utility from radeon2.ru here
Unzip the files in it to a bootable floppy.
Boot to a clean dos prompt, type "flashrom -s 0 old_bios.rom" without quotes.

Anyway, this is all explained clearly in the help file that comes with radedit.

Can you be a little more specific? I've put the bios_flashrom folder on the boot disk, and when I boot I say cd bios_flashrom but it says invalid directory. I've also tried just typing "flashrom -s 0 my_bios.rom" but that just says invalid command. Could you tell me what I should be doing? XP is my first experiance with PC's, I used to be a mac user.

I think I did it with flashrom, I just typed in flashrom and then flashrom -S 0 my_bios.rom

but it's 0 bytes and radedit says it's not a rom file...

Its cuz dos has a limited number of characters it can have in a name. You should type "dir" right when you start up with the boot disk and then look for a folder with a similar name and then navigate to that. Whenever you are unsure of a name, just type "dir".
