    Hi everybody. I just like help all people have doubts about how flash the Bios of Compal Motherboard labtop. Just do what I write here that it is what I do exactly and now I have updated the Bios ok.

    1- The things you need are, a Program to make a BOOT FLASH STICK MEMORY, of course the FLASH MEMORY and the FLASH BIOS SOFTWARE. Where looking for them? Step 2…
    2- Program to make a BOOT FLASH STICK MEMORY: Go to this link: http://home.telfort.nl/sp105052/ and download the file Bootable USB Stick software.zip , also take look at the help procedure Compal USB Flash Document.pdf
    3- Later you download the Bootable USB Stick software.zip you have to take the FLASH BIOS SOFTWARE it is preferred from this link: http://www.bizcom-us.com/support/ . Pay Attention what motherboard you choose and you have to know what exactly is yours. Also take the flash version what you need for change cuz is not necessary always have the BIOS updated, Example I did just to upgrade my Ram cuz 1.07 version don’t let me use it and I choose the 1.13v.
    4- Just install the Bootable USB Stick software.zip and make all you see in .pdf help file.
    5- Very important: when you reset the Computer you have to go inside it by pushing the key f12 when you see the phoenix logo, then go to boot setup and put your HDD flash memory first position, if you don’t know what name is your flash memory have to looking in Control Panel then, Administrator Devise and then in storages devises to look what name is yours, then you know exactly. End, save the boot setup configuration to boot the flash memory with your.
    6- For people don’t know MS-DOS command just write on the MS-DOS mode: CD IFT00113 where (IFT00113) it is the name of the folder is saved the Flash BIOS Software, then when you are inside the folder type the name exactly of the file .BAT including the extension .BAT , then enter and wait finish the process.
    7- Just for the people like flash to 1.16 version I am not sure if have to use the .exe to make flash bios, but I guess yes. I just don’t cuz I don’t need it at the moment.
    Good look and enjoy the IFL90 it is great!!!
