    Hey guys i have a Sager2090 aka CompalIFL90 and i was wondering where to get drivers/bios updates for it. someone gave me the compal site http://www.compal.com/asp/driver_dnd/index.htmhttp://www.compal.com/asp/driver_dnd/index.htm

    but its so poorly organized i have no idea what im supposed to do. when i click the drivers link there is an intel folder and a folder called 30. which one do i choose? also do i get the bios update from the main page or go into IFL90_91/Drivers/Intel/BIOS and from there how do i even install a bios. could someone post a link to a guide to do that or something. thanks :D

    edit* just to let you guys know i still have version 1.09 bios vista home premium 32 bit edition. Thanks :)

    A good one, compal's alike is http://service.marasst.com , I find it to be more user friendly. Your IFL90 is the *30* folders, it refers to the VGA card types, similar models use Intel integrated graphics so that is why it's separated.
    For flashing your bios you need to boot from a floppy (external) or CD or USB drive. There are a lot of tutorials for booting from USB, just copy the bios files to your USB and boot from it. Use HP format utility to create the bootable device. http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
