Sorry for newbie question. (ASUS F3s V) But can i ask...

1. Assuming i need to update my BIOS how do I find out which one I currently have and which one I need? I assume there are tools that allow me to flash the BIOS although I'll have to fgure this one out as I only did this wih floppy drives in the past (I assume USB drives dont work with the DOS based flash uitlities)

2. Once Ive done this should I be able to get into ANY sort of a GUI with Kalyway 10.5.1 as I never got ANYWHERE with iATKOS 5i (it would alwasy reboot almost instantly after a brief flash of the grey mac logo. Can you tell me what I should typ at the "boot;" prompt?

Many thanks. Sorry if these are stupid questions, but I'm new to all of this

Oh! I found bios mod at www.osxcores.site50.net and i'm happy!
Also osrom.net/biosmod is a good web-resource!

If u have AMI BIOS u should copy original bios as AMIBOOT.ROM on floppy!
If ur computer don't wonna boot u can use Control+Home keys and install original bios!
U can reboot after 4 beeps.

If u have Award BIOS u should make autoexec.bat for bios auto installation
and use this floppy if ur computer don't wonna boot.

I've Download all the bios, Starting from page 68. to 74.
I'll get them done soon, if your bios is not listed on my site, then there was a link problem, or I had to look for your bios with the link you gave, Which I wont do.

Check back later,

Thx m8, I really appreciate it!

[OriginalMACNUT]

Thx m8, I really appreciate it!

No problem, they will be done later today, as there was around 50 or so.
At the moment I'm doing them here and there, as I look for a new netbook, one that is mostly OSX ready out of the box.

MSI wind is the one I'm thinking of, but I like the Netbook that has the dvd burner in it as well.
oh, what to do, lol.



*EDIT* 2/3/09 8:08pm

Finally done editing the bios, I'll be adding them soon to the Website. I'll post an update once done.
Thanks,

I've update the webite now, you might see if yours in on there.

28 desktops was added, with 11 notebooks. There where a lot I couldn't find the model for, so I just trashed the Bios.

[blackfire920]

kabyl, Originalmacnut

My settings:

• http://www.jwele.com/UserFiles/download/JWT P35PRO BIOS V1.5.rar
• Intel E2140, INTEL p35, icon ati3870 ddr3 512
• have to disable multi-core function @ Bios setting

If I'm about to swap the e2140 to q6600 will it be side effect on the mod bios.....A big TKS in advance

Yes, a Modded bios should fix that issue, or you can hit F8 before booting to type CPUS=1 boot flag to boot up with only 1 Core, there is many posts regarding this subject.
Also, with your Notebook I would think it would support USB booting, as well there are many Subject regarding this. Most the time you can hit F11 for other boot options, I know on my Notebook it's F12, so pending your setup it could be different.

You might try google.com to find out how to Flash you Notebook.
You might also look to see if your Notebook supports HPET & Execute BIT enabling ( XD, I think it the Short hand ).
These Must be turned on as well in most setups, If XD is turned on, try turning it off, I know with my system turned off will let me boot using 1 Core to make Changes to the System.

Thanks for putting the effort into getting the bios, But.
I was unable to do your Rom as it's in a .bin file. I'm not Familiar with HP, but is there anyway you can make a back-up of the Rom you have?
Typically this is done with AFUDOS for exp..... However I'm not sure what program you would use on the HP to extract the Rom to a .rom image.

After searching the internet i found that .bin is a compressed .rom file....

I'm not a programmer but i think i found some useful information for you about HP Bioses.

Patching HPQflash.exe seems interesting:

a big thankyou Donator, but can I just clarify WHICH BIOS from the long list linked at the top of this page is the right one for the F3s V. There appear to be at least two? f3svas207 and f3svas208?

Many thanks for your kind help and advice D

Those are just the Bios Version, with the 208 being the newest.
