Hey all,
Long time no post. Well, at least not to this section.
I have a question regarding the flashing of a BIOS. I looked through the threads andsome of the supplied links from some of the readers and I almost got an answer but didn't see exactly what my system is ailing from.
My system is some what old, about 4 years old, I upgraded the HD, RAM, CD burner, and the OS to XP.
Since the new HD was only able to have almost half of its' true capacity read due to an old BIOS, I opted to upgrade the BIOS just so that I can get full usage of the HD.
I downloaded the BIOS flash program from esupport.com last night and followed all the instructions to the "T". Now after that has been done, the memory counts twice, then it goes to boot up Windows XP, where upon loading of XP (at the status screen where you see the status bar) it is JUST about to load up, and freezes.
I've tried all the FAQ's and troubleshooting techniques on the esupport website, all to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?
The thing that sucks is that according to this company, since I placed my order online I am only opted for support via e-mail. When I am at work I can't call them and stay on hold for a while because it's not toll free. Also when I get home from work they are closed (they're open 9-4).
Any good advice is welcomed and appreciated.
