Got a M90 with the FX2500 i need to safely flash to 7900GTX

ok burnt 5.40 this time when i typed nvflash newbios.rom it said cannot recognize command

 

nvm 5.40 indeed has both files again as do all 3 nothing has changed (8 cds later)

 

found this writeup but i didnt have the stomach to understand it.. can anyone verify if thats the road i need to take? plz?

i had bought 2 gtx 280 for sli, to my bad luck one was bad to i sent it back for exchnge after long wait i got 285...
now m tying to sli both of them, so i took backup of 285 changed device name to 280 and tried flashing...nvflash prompted that it is going to change the pci device id and final status as updated successfully.but after reboots, the device still shows old device name and when i try to reflash it prompts same way for change in device id with success wit no results.

i tried to flash backup as it is and it gave no device id change, whcih means the nvflash is tryng to do its job but it aint working

-4 -5 -6 -r are the options m using. card is rom bfg tech.

i get 2 warnings:
cannot open swap file c:\cwsdpmi.swp
and
none of the firmware image comptible pci device id match the pci device id of the adapter.

nvflash 5.88

Use the latest version, put all the files on the CD.

Use this command:
nvFlash -4 -5 -6 newbios.rom

 

unknown command

 

that means you didn't put nvFlash on the CD (I think).

 

i definately did, i extracted then put both files onto the cd.. confused.

 

I don't know why you get that error.

nvFlash newbios.rom

and

nvFlash -4 -5 -6 newbios.rom

should be working.

Maybe you should borrow a USB flash drive. A 1gb drive should be $5.

 

okok will do , ill get a flash drive keep ya posted
