Hello Everyone,
I'm from austria and trying to use my old mini notebook, but it has a very rare Pata msata port installed and can't upgrade it to a real sata SSD. It can boot Windows 7 from USB-port, but not from SD-card-port.
I kindly request a Biosmod, to be able to boot from SD-card and use a 128 GB SD-Card as a substitute for the SSD.
The Bios from Dell is a executable file and I could't extract the rom-file.

or we can use the bios update file for Vostro A90. It is compatible to Inspiron mini and I extracted the rom-file from it. Included as an attachment

it schould automaticaly open the english site.
A Slic update would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Yours truly

Test with WindowsToGo:
I really don't want this notebook to be trashed. At the moment I've installed Windows 7 to go with Microsoft Office 2016 on a micro SD card through an USB cardreader. It boots and is faster than I thought. The notebook works really fine for me. Youtube 480p plays fluidly on Firefox without addons.
Next step:
WindowsToGo on a SD card with A2 Standart.
I would gladly accept tips to "DIY" my bios.
