Appendix E:Updating the FLASH ROM BIOS

To update the FLASH ROM BIOS you must:

• Download the BIOS update from the web site.

• Unzip the files onto a bootable Floppy Disk.

• Reboot your computer from the FDD.

• Use the flash tools to update the flash BIOS.

• Restart the computer booting from the HDD.

1. Using your web browser go to www.clevo.com.tw

2. Choose Download from the menu bar at the top of the page.

3. In the Driver section select the model of your computer (8880 Series OR 888E series) and the driver type (BIOS).

4. Select GO.

5. Click on 888ERxxx.zip or 8880Rxxx.zip to download the BIOS files (including BIOS refresh tools).

Unzip the file you have just downloaded on to a bootable floppy disk.

(The files you should see on this disk are: FP.exe, Flash.exe & 888*Rxxx.bin)

With the bootable floppy disk containing the BIOS files in your floppy drive, restart the computer.

1. Make sure you are not loading any memory management programs such as HIMEM by holding the F8 key as you

see the message “Starting MS-DOS”. You will then be prompted to give “Y” or “N” responses to the programs

being loaded by DOS. Choose “N” for any memory management programs.

2. Go to the DOS prompt.

3. If you have chosen to extract the zipped files to the floppy disk then browse to where the files are located and type

the following command:

A: fp 888*rxxx.bin

Remove the floppy disk from the drive and restart your computer.

Your notebook is now running normally with the updated BIOS.
