    Lubi,
    The bios file is not a file that is on your harddisk or your Acer CDs.
    You will have to use the Winflash / Winphlash program, included in BIOS_1.0.ZIP which you can download from
    http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_3020_5020.html
    With this program you can make a backup of the system Bios as it is stored in a chip in your computer.
    Make sure you select only the "make backup" option !!!
    (you will still have to specifiy a 'new bios' filename e.g. B26-010.WPH as is also in BIOS_1.0.ZIP, otherwise Winphlash will give an error).
    Please ZIP the bios-backup-file you created this way before uploading it .

    Good luck, and be careful - you do this at your own risk!

    Jos

    Ohhh, I was totally off...if I would ask at my old school (I ve just passed HighSchool of Electrical engineering-computing technics and have been accepted to College in Scotland) in which file is Bios, I d have been fired!! :)) Of course it s in the Flash EEPROM or somewhere...but in file? ...I m an idiot :)) Ok, don t be afraid, I m not a novice in flashing and backuping BIOS.

    Stay patient pls, I don t have my note. with me.
