a message for the old thread for the posterity.
first, thanks for the effort of mod's and general ppl that helps (ALOT).
this bios,
http://bios-mods.com/dropbox/TheWiz/Bios...VP2-B2.BIN , only link working, fits on the:
packard bell imedia mc 2569
To get the flasher i had to get the original bios:
ftp://ftp.packardbell.com/pub/itemnr/699...OS_316.exe
I had windows 7 already instaled... and the bios, even in compatbility mode, did not work. without comp. only work for xp/vista. on compatibility to xp sp3 / vista sp2 give error in line ~10 something and it wont work.
extract the cuba_bios_316.exe content:
1-hiren's boot 15.1 on usb, boot from there to mini windows xp.
2-from there got innounp038 from sourceforge to unpack the cuba_bios_316.exe in command line. no GUI (interface with buttons).
3-extracted the resulting ISO file, extracted the IMG floppy image, all with 7zip included in mini win xp. copied the IMG files to a usb drive.
4-reboot, boot with hirens boot 15.1 again, on menu DOS PROGRAMS, DOS, DOS
5-on DOS command line search the USB flash drive (probably on D: or E: if you have 2 flash drives. check content.
6-flash.bat
All this process for the original files from cuba bios 316 exe. if you want the modded one just replace the orig. W7301VP2.316 with the dropbox link rename the file so you wont have to edit the flash.bat .
Just to check if not forgot to:
Thanks for your great forum bios mods MOD'S!
