Hi BDMaster.. Ok I set the BIOS to Legacy and I'm now able to go into Free DOS at boot.

I got 2 questions:

1) What commands do I need to enter exactly?
2) The instructions say to run Flash.bat to update. I dont understand.. Will my BIOS be updated and if so, why does it need to be updated?

[BDMaster]

You have to Disable Secure Boot into your Bios Menu !
Let me see all Menu Tabs so i will suggest what to set in !
Make Screenshots of Menu Tabs and upload here !
