    Hello! I hope I am not posting in the wrong section. Anyway, I just joined this forum after coming across this post: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/658738-need-m860tu-260m-gpu-bios.html
    I made the exact same mistake as this fellow, however I am not sure if I can nvflash... I grabbed the bios from that thread, and then put it, DOS, and nvflash on a usb drive. However I am not sure how to go about navigating it at this point, I'm not sure if it's even possible to enter the right series of keystrokes to get it working.. although I am fairly sure it's getting to the DOS screen, because if i type nvflash -4 -5 -6 old.rom, and then press y it has two beeps..... not sure what that means. I would have PM'd the OP from the other thread, but I need at least 5 posts. I figured I'd just ask here instead of spamming the forum with threads just to PM the guy.

    Sorry for wall of text, and thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

    I have attempted blindflashing multiple times with no luck. I tried making a bootable MS-Dos usb drive and putting an autoexec.exe with contents "nvflash -4 -5 -6 old.rom". I can't tell if it's doing anything though. Any advice?
