<div dir='auto'><div dir="auto">Thanks for the reply.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div>First I booted from a usb memory stick. When the flash failed I realized I needed some files, at the very least a different bios, and so I put them on a different USB.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">(This knocked out my USB keyboard, pressing regular buttons would cause num lock to blink, but I was able to get a PS/2 KB working subsequently.)<br><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I tried A through Z but was unable to find the data.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I repeated this process with another small memstick, but same result.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Finally, having memories of doing similar with DOS on a floppy, I removed the boot usb, put the files on it, and reinstated.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">(It makes a pleasant beep when memstick are inserted, and an unpleasant one one they are removed.)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I may have compounded the problem, because not only are the new files not visible, but running the flash command from the console later failed. I don't have the error on me, but it was something to the effect of a read error.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks again.</div></div></div> |
