BIOS Headache
Purchased a BIOS Upgrade from eSupport.com and having Problems getting it to Install CORRECTLY! Was Having Issues with My Older P3 eMachines (and NO HELP from eMachines at all)...keep getting a Error that says I NEED to run a "Crisis Diskette" which is NO PLACE in this Machine, & a "Phlash Error" and eMachines is NO Help, Can't even get eSupport to give me Support either; Service AFTER the Sale the Reason for the Upgrade=I purchased a Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard & Mouse, and I'm having Problems getting it's software to Run correctly, it was Suggested that I Upgrade my BIOS which I did...I have Removed the CMOS Battery from this Older Trigem Cognac/370 Socket MoBo, allowed it to discharge, and Replaced it with a New One, but still get that SAME "Phlash" Error, What can I do Now??

well, How do I KNOW that the Update worked? When I Open BIOS, I don't "see" anything that has Changed from what it was B4 I Tried to Install the eSupport Upgrade...and The ONLY Error I got when I attempted to Boot-Up from That Floppy, was the One that Came From BIOS that stipulated "Phlash Error, Install the Crisis Diskette"(which I don't have).

I downloaded the eSupport.com .zip Folder

Did you extract the files in the .zip folder to the floppy?


"Open Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information. Here you will find System Summary on the left and its contents on the right. Find the BIOS Version option and your BIOS flash version displayed."

Check the date and version # here
