I already PM this to ReingFire, but if someone needs info about how to flash their graphic card.
This are the applications you would need.
http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197 To make your flash drive bootlable
http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=196 You need this files to create some Boot disk (win98 files)
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1893/NVFlash_5.100.0.1.html The NVflash for Dos (VER 5.100.0.1 *updated link)
The process its simple, you need to format your flash drive, selecting on the HP utility to "create a DOS startup disk" and then you select the win98 Files you already download.
When this process it's finished you need to uncompress nvflash on the Flash Drive, and put the bios you want to flash in there too, (i suggest you to use small filenames, 84.rom as an example, so you can access it easier via dos).
The command lines you need to use when you are in NVFlash are this
nvflash -b backup.rom (
put the name you want to save your actual rom on the drive, with this line you're saving as "backup.rom")
Now you have to ways to do the next step, erase the current bios first, or overwrite the one you have, I prefer to erase, so i don't have a different checksum if you select to erase the entire bios from the card, just do this:
nvflash --eraseeeprom, Enter, then the system its going to ask you to put Y to continue the process
and then put the new bios on it
nvflash biosname.rom, press enter, then press Y and you have your card flashed, you can see the progress on the screen,
if you want to bypass the erase bios procedure, and overwrite just do this.
nvflash -r (press enter, and you remove any write protection)
nvflash biosname.rom, press enter, then Y and you have your card flashed, you can see the progress on the screen,
this it's the way I DO IT, i hope this helps you, just read really well before doing it.
