Christopher M. Panalver, the short answer is 'no'. The article appears
to be out of date, the publication was in 2009, and it refers to pages
that were last active in 2008 or before. The links to Dell sites express
plans and aspirations that do not appear to have been implemented.

So far I have tried two other approaches, both using FreeDOS, one from
USB (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1901977), another from a
CD (http://madphilosopher.ca/2010/04/dell-laptop-bios-update-using-
freedos-and-iso-master/). Neither of them work.

The USB method gets as far as running the downloaded .exe file, but all
that does is print a brief message saying 'Test.' to the console. I am
wondering if there are some command line arguments I don't know about.

The CD method does not get as far as a DOS prompt. It boots into FDISK
whatever menu options I choose, and at that point I bail out rather than
lose my hard drive. There is supposed to be a LiveCD option on the menu,
but this does not seem to be present. Having followed the instructions
assiduously, I am not sure what I might be doing wrong.

I have found some other recipes on the web, but they all look more
complicated. I am proceeding cautiously because I do not want to turn my
laptop into a desk ornament. If I find one that works I will let you
know in this thread.
