ACER EXTENSA 5630z
#1
I want to mod my BIOS to enable the hardware VT-x feature of my processor.
My processor is an Intel T9500 2.6ghz Core 2 Duo (yes this chip has the VT-x feature)
I have upgraded my RAM to 8gb (2x4gb Dimms)
The current bios is Pheonix 1.30
The operating system is Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.

Also, I currently can not even flash my BIOS.
I have downloaded the Pheonix 1.36A bios from Acer and I have not been able to update it. I have made several bootable thumb drives and CD-Rs with the phlash16.exe and no luck. I have tried running it under FreeDOS, MS-Dos 7.1, and MiniXP. I keep getting the following errors:

Cannot Install when DOSKEY is present
Cannot Flash if memory Managers (e.g. HIMEM) present
Invalid FlashInt.Bin !

I have used two versions of phlash16.exe (the included 1.6.8.8 and 1.7.0.41)
the two BIOS files are HMA136.rom and HMA136.WPH (not sure what the difference is)
From the prompt i have tried entering the command in the following ways:
c:\phlash16.exe hma136.yyy /x /s /c /mfg /mode=3
c:\phlash16.exe /x /s /c /mfg /mode=3 hma136.yyy
c:\phlash16.exe hma136.yyy

I have also tried changing the BIOS drive setting from AHCI to IDE

There must be some detail I am missing just need to find it.

*update*
I had to create my boot disk with this program to make phlash16.exe work
