    Hiho

    Can someone help me please.
    I can't find system driver like BIOS or CPU drivers for my compal IFL90 laptop.
    My current BIOS driver vers. is 1.09.

    DriverAgent.com shows me many different Drivers for my laptop,
    but I don't wanna pay for the drivers^^.

    I listet the main drivers that the page showed me:

    Mobile Intel(R) PM965/GM965/GL960 Express PCI Express Root Port - 2A01
    Mobile Intel(R) PM965/GM965/GL960 Express Processor to DRAM Controller - 2A00

    Intel(R) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 2 - 2841
    Intel(R) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 283F
    Intel(R) ICH8M LPC Interface Controller - 2815
    Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller
    SDA-Standard konformer SD-Hostcontroller
    Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

    My Memory Stick card reader has never worked. I got always a bluescreen with bad_pool_header.

    Thanks for help :)

    Thanks for the driver.
    After i downloaded the driver, i burned it on a boot cd (nero 8)
    but after i runned the boot cd windows didn't open the files. Windows loaded all drivers for USB, FireWire, SATA.... I get always a command line, but it doesn't work when I'm entering JFT02116 or PHLASH16.exe.
    I tried to run the exe file without rebooting (windows was running), but then i got the error message: Cannot fash if Memory Magers (e.g. EMM386) present.

    What did i wrong? Did i burn a wrong boot CD?

    Why not to download and install the drivers one per one.

    For flashing the BIOS is another story, then I can give you the process for doing so.

    The problem is that he seem quite confused about what to install. I guess the bios update is the easiest: just burn the iso and let the bios flasher do its thing =/

    Here are the step to flash your BIOS;

    1. Download the DOS files into your HDD using the following link: http://www.gamebeat.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1057

    • Just follow the instructions to Download the DOS files into your USB drive.

    2. Use the HP application to transform the USB drive into a bootable one, enter the HDD place where you DOS files are on the cell requesting for it. http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
    3. Download your new BIOS to your HDD.
    4. Create a directory called BIOS on your USB drive.
    5. Then execute the compressed BIOS file in your HDD and instruct it to save the extracted files into your BIOS directory on the USB drive
    6. Re-boot your laptop and press F12, choose booting from USB drive.
    7. This will bring you to the C:\ prompt.
    8. Make sure you are in the root typing CD\ and press enter.
    9. Go to the BIOS directory typing CD\BIOS and press enter.
    10. Then type JFT02116 and press enter and follow the instructions.

    Make sure you have backed up your important files and that you have the crisis driver handy in case things go wrong, remember the Murphy’s Law.

    BTW, is at your own risk to flash the BIOS.

    Flash is the popular term to change the EEPROM data, where the BIOS resides, it is a chipset. Updates are normally changing drivers residing in the HDD and don't need a laborious process as when you flash.

    1.16 is the latest BIOS.

    No, you want to flash the BIOS. I didn't give you any BIOS driver, I gave you the flashing process. Take the driver from ayle.

    Ask as many questions you want before to do it, you don't want to mess up with missflashing the BIOS, you could lose the machine by doing the wrong thing.
