    If your system is using Phoenix bios (I guess so):

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...-your-phoenix-bios-bios-recovery-methods.html

    If your system is using an Aptio Ami bios:

    1. Rename the desired BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a blank floppy/USB stick e.g. Rename 12345678.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM

    2. Insert this floppy/USB stick and Turn On the system.

    3. If no floppy/USB stick access occurs press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. Follow insructions on the screen and it will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the drive.

    4. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk.

    5. Restart the computer.

    But Clevo may have changed the required file name from AMIBOOT.ROM to something else...the dealers here may kindly provide us with the right file name!

    1) Clevo x7200 has phoenix Bios on motherboard.
    2) whether It is necessary to do load USB stick?
    3) whether It is necessary to copy files from image boot ms-dos in USB stick?
    4) it can a method for notebooks who has Bios from AMI???
    5) Any a key it is not necessary to push before notebook start-up? I tried to push a combination [Fn] +B, USB stick on a miscellaneous blinked, but have then passed to constant impulse blinkings and so indefinitely......
