Hello, sorry for the extremely off-topic, but a bios update for my laptop is badly needed...
Of course my laptop at least runs Debian :) even if a small win2k partition still survives for this kind of tasks... The story: I own a vaio gr7/k, a japanese model, I bought during a Tokyo vacation in 2001 (oh... japan is such a wonderful place...) Note: gr7/k is very similar to gr170k(US) and gr214MP (EU) so if anybody who already did that could also tell his experience. I'm looking for a (maibe native) japanese speaking guy who can briefly help in making me understand how to udate the bios of the beast. Sony support in italy carries 20EUR to talk to an autoresponder... the instruction page is at http://vcl.vaio.sony.co.jp/download/PK-000023-01.html I downloaded the linked file (PK-000023-01.exe) that contains: bios.rom crisboot.bin crisdisk.bat makeboot.exe minidos.sys phlash.exe platform.bin as I understand from the *crisisdisk.bat* file a floppy drive is nedded but this laptop is not equiped with such a device :P So please, can somebody help? If you feel this post is way too much OT, feel free to answer me directly. thanks in advance -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
