Re: I updated BIOS to 07



I used BartPE to make a live XP and used that to update my BIOS.

Amazingly that worked. This BIOS does allow boot from USB which
was a big help since I have a Corsair 16GB flash drive. It makes me
realize that I could use this new drive I bought in an external case (just
happen to have one) that is USB. I'm fairly certain that will work. I
can already tell (from my use of my flashdrive) that it will label it drive
C.

It still does not see the hard drive. I am thinking the SATA port is dead.
I could get a pci card (slim profile needs half height) but those puppies
are
expensive and I wouldn't use it in the normal course of events - so if it
doesn't
work, I am out that much as a total waste.
