Flashed bios mod from DOS with USB-bootable?
Well i've used a USB floppy drive with dos and ntfsdos driver to get acces to ntfs partition on hard drive. I've run phlas from hard drive. Should i make a dos bootable usb stick to flash it?

Hi sivienki and sovem, any chance of one of you two re-uploading this Windows version, the link has been taken down now and I am having a little play with one of these at the mo but Vista is making it painful.
Or if anyone else was able to help, the latest BIOS is v. 1.36 here https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/su...oduct/1085
