Hello, I an a native japanese and I read the instruction page and crisdisk.bat.
To update a bios of your laptop, I think you need which you can: 1. USB-FDD. this is the most easy way. 2. Somehow make a dos-bootable CD-ROM containing minidos.sys,phlash.exe, bios.rom and platform.bin on Linux and boot from this cd-rom. By updating a bios, these probrems are solved: 1 system sometime halted after removing a CD-RW/DVD combo drive and reconnecting it. 2 system cannot boot when you type something just after power on. 3 system cannot resume normally at times. 4 USB devices are't normally recognized when power-on with these device connected. I'm glad if I can help you. tsuno On Tue, 19 Aug 2003 15:49:13 +0200 Mattia Dongili <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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?
