How to update bios for compal JFL92

Hi new user here, I've been looking around on the forums for how to update the bios. I've got the files for the 1.18 compal bios update, and I know I need to make an .iso image of the files and burn it onto a CD, however I do not know how to make it a bootable CD.

I downloaded imgburn as that seems to be what most people on the forums are using to burn .iso's.

I'll walk you through what I do and where I get stuck

1) I boot up the program and select "Create image file from files/folders"

2) I select all the files that came with the BIOS update and change destination to my burning device

3) I select the advanced tab where you can select the disc to be bootable. I check the option to "Make image bootable", but I have no idea what settings I should select for emulation type. The field for boot image is also a mystery to me. If I try to burn the disc without selecting a file to act as the boot image the program will not progress any further. So which file should I select to be the boot image?

The files that came in the bios update zip folder are:

IFT00REL.txt
JFL92118.bat
JFL92118.ROM
JFL92118.WPH
k20arels.txt
PHLASH16.exe

Thanks

 

You can find all relevant info in these threads. Even an .iso to be burned. And btw. there is also 119BIOS, I'm using it for very long time, no problems.

So, i have BIOS 1.19 and the Intel VT/DEP working.



The testprogram is Securable and may download here: http://www.grc.com/securable.htm

Some people writing, that have problem, when BIOS version 1.19, with Intel Virtualisation, i use Sun Virtualbox and vmware already over 2 years and have no problems.

 

well a few days ago I downloaded an img of the 1.19 bios, flashed my system and it got messed up badly. Windows was giving me blue screens so I went ahead and installed ubuntu 9.04 so I could have some working operating system. Problem is I rarely ever use linux and tying to setup a system to do the stuff I need to do just wasn't working time wise. So if there is a bootable cd image of 1.18 or even 1.16 which I was the version I was on before I would be much appreciated.

Pretty much when trying to partition my harddrive to allocate a large portion of hard drive space to reinstall windows XP. Windows doesn't recognize that there is a hard drive, so I'm at the point of trying to find a bootable cd img of a previous version of the bios, or just buy a brand new laptop hard drive and install windows xp on that.

 

Here is bootable CD of BIOS 1.18: http://nicram.sytes.net/projects/compal-fl90-bios-disc/
