[marcusBMG]

Renamed to EU36.rom. Copied over to usb.
Didn't flash - error incorrect flash part.

Try to flash new version of BIOS mod.

Hmmm. Got error: problem erasing flash
see attached pic.

This was a surprise, not happened before, so I tried again with the unmodded ver 6.09 bios file. same result. Then I tried from within windows using the sp56794.exe package that worked ok. So i tried again using afudos with your bios file - same again error.

Not sure what's going on now, maybe I should try cmos clear.

Download sp56794.exe and unpack it.
Copy modded EU36.07 to folder with SAFUWIN
Run command line in Windows with administrative rights and run:
cd (full path)\sp57393
SAFUWIN EU36.07 /p /b /c /x

Uh oh this could be bad.
Calling safuwin from the command line didn't do anything "command not recognised". So I tried calling the installer. That worked, and the bios started flashing. But I should have included the switches on the command line - didn't appreciate they would (probably) be acted on, in fact there was a msg indicating they would have carried over. Now the flash is stuck almost but not quite done.
Maybe its just stuck checksumming..

Show a screenshot. Did you change path to correct value with cd command?

I had to use task manager to kill the process hpprobar3. Windows threw the usual "this did not install correctly" screen. Didn't seem like a good idea to just reboot and see what happens - i tried again this time with the switches. But same thing, hangs up just when its almost finished.
What do you reckon, reboot to see if the flash is ok seems a bit risky.. not clear what hpprobar3 was doing not much online info on this exe
update I flashed with an unmodded bios (ver 6.09) in the same manner from the command line, with the same result, so its the method, not the bios.

You typed wrong command and you didn't copy modded EU36.07
Run
SAFUWIN EU36.07 /p /b /c /x

No more ideas. Come back when you learn how to flash this BIOS.
All useless mods are deleted.
