    So i decided to do a blind flash since my MSI notebook can read a card that my clevo completely rejects but can't give a picture due to the whole IGP story. (it's an MSI GT 72, so it has the whole manual graphics switch thing going on)

    I wanted to be extra sure tho so i wanted to create a USB drive, that uses NVFLASH to write:
    c:/nvflash.exe --list

    Now my issue is, i want it to copy the information that nvflash outputs to a textfile on the drive, so i can see if my notebook reads the card completely and not only sensors or half of the card.

    If it can read the card completely, then I'll make an autoexec with the flashing process, so i can finally get the card working with prema vbios on my clevo.

    EDIT:
    Found out how to write everything but now I'm looking for an NVflash that isn't outdated and still uses dos. So far the latest dos version of NVFlash i could find was 5.16.xxx

    sorry to take you a bit off topic, but out of curiosity., what did you use? Something like - "C:\nvflash.exe --list > c:\flashout.txt"

    nvflash --list > text.txt

    I realized that it wasn't even needed, i saved the BIOS file instead.

    nvflash --save bios.rom

    If you use freedos which HP provides you can execute 32bit files.

    Yes. I assumed you were using FreeDOS. However, I thought you were looking for an updated version of nvflash.exe.
