Hi,
I read in a thread the procedure on how to upgarde from 8400M G to an 8600M GT.
"i have not tried it but i think he did it this way
1. download hp boot key and create a bootable usb
2. download nvflash
3. download 8600M GT bios
4. extract nvflash to root drive of flash drive, copy also the bios in the root drive
5. restart pc and in bios set flash drive as boot drive (F12 key usually)
6. on command prompt type "nvflash -b backup.rom', now you have a backup bios file named backup.rom
7. on command prompt type "nvflash Acer.8600MGT.512.070423.bin -4 -5 -6", wait for it dont touch nothin till it finishes up
good luck
*
nvflash -p -u -f backup.rom'
-4 = bypass board id mismatch (I think)
-5 = bypass device id mismatch
-6 = bypass subsystem id mismatch
8600M GT bios

However, the HP flash disk Utility doesn't work in Vista. Is there anyother software that can be used with Vista to create a bootable flash drive, as described above.
Thanks
