Hello,
I would like to be able to boot from the SDHC card slot on my Acer Aspire One D255E. Acer does not provide a bios that supports this. I also am locked out of the bios by a password (received the netbook second hand). I am hoping flashing the bios will remove the password. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I have attached the latest BIOS from Acer here:

Hmm, don't think this is an AMI bios.

Anyway try removing the CMOS battery to get that password off.

I don't think it is possible to reset this bios by pulling the battery or switching jumpers.... I think I may have to try finding software to brute force it.

I was under the impression it was an AMI due to forum posts I have read about the system. I guess I will reset the bios to see exactly what it is before I pursue this any further. Thank you for the quick response.
