• Download the BIOS update from the web site.
• Unzip the files onto a bootable Floppy Disk.
• Reboot your computer from the FDD.
• Use the flash tools to update the flash BIOS.
• Restart the computer booting from the HDD.
1. Using your web browser go to www.clevo.com.tw
2. Choose Download from the menu bar at the top of the page.
3. In the Driver section select the model of your computer ( 4200/4600 series ) and the driver type ( BIOS ).
4. Select GO .
5. Click on 4200Biosxxx.zip. to download the BIOS files (including BIOS refresh tools).
Unzip the file you have just downloaded on to a bootable floppy disk.
( Some of the files you should see on this disk are: runme.bat, Platform.bin, Phlash.exe & 42_XXX.rom)
With the bootable floppy disk containing the BIOS files in your Floppy Drive, restart the computer.
After the computer has been booted from the floppy disk:
1. Go to the DOS prompt.
2. Make sure you are not loading any memory management programs such as HIMEM by holding the F8 key as you
see the message " Starting MS-DOS ". You will then be prompted to give " Y " or " N " responses to the programs
being loaded by DOS. Choose "N" for any memory management programs
3. If you have chosen to extract the zipped files to the floppy disk the files are located in the folder A:/4200/BIOS.
Browse to this folder and type the following command:
A:/4200/BIOS.
