    Hey Guys,

    I got a BIOS iso file from Sager support and I don't have an external DVD drive to burn it. I tried several techniques to use a USB stick but it didn't work. Sager support told me that there's not recommended method and I should look online (sucks, I know).

    The file is 915bv05ls1.zip which comes with 915bv05ls1.iso inside.

    You can. You need to use UltraISO to extract the boot sector of the ISO. Then open the bif file and extract the BIOS ROM and flashing utility.

    Thanks! I will give it a try tonight.

    Unrelated but I noticed you have a G75VW too. How you like it compared to the Sager one? I was thinking about getting that one instead.
