    Hello.
    Im running on a XPS 15 (L521X) with 750 hdd and 32 gb of ssd that i use for cache. My system have been going since the last bios flash update. From now i can't boot on windows 7 but only on the linux partition (dual boot: windows 7 + linux mint).
    Im my BIOS config (F2 at start) the option haven't changed. I tried to boot on linux and run update-grub but nothing changed. Could someone help me ?
    Sorry for bad english
    thanks

    i solved booting with partition wizard from cd and rebuild the mbr. Then Windows 7 booted but linux grub was disappeared. Rebooted from live cd of linux and updating grub .. All perfect.. I succesfully flashed A12 bios but i've not see improvement.. bad.. wifi still sucking
    Thanks anyway
