Identification If you have a Gateway 400VTX notebook computer, upgrade to this BIOS. Installation The BIOS should be flashed if: 1. You are updating to a newer BIOS revision. 2. A Gateway technician has told you to flash or re-flash the computer. Perform the following steps to flash or re-flash the computer using a floppy disk drive: 1. Copy all of the BIOS files except 9522818.iso from the C:\Cabs\9522818 folder to a blank floppy disk. Note: Do not format the floppy disk. Delete the contents of the disk rather than formatting the disk. It is best to use a new blank pre-formatted disk. 2. Place the floppy disk in the floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer. 3. At the A:\ prompt, type: 380035.exe. Press the ENTER key. 4. The BIOS flash process runs automatically. Do not press any keys or turn off the computer during this process. 5. When the flash is complete, to restart the computer, press ENTER. 6. Remove the floppy disk from the drive. Perform the following steps to flash or re-flash the computer using a CD burner drive: 1. Burn the C:\Cabs\9522818\9522818.iso file to a blank CD using your CD burning software. 2. After creating the CD, place the CD in the CD/DVD drive, and then restart the computer. 3. At the A:\ prompt, type: 380035.exe. Press the ENTER key. 4. The BIOS flash process runs automatically. Do not press any keys or turn off the computer during this process. 5. When the flash is complete, to restart the computer, press ENTER. 6. Remove the CD from the CD/DVD drive. Removal Because a computer must have a BIOS to operate, there is no removal process. The BIOS cannot be removed after it has been upgraded. Troubleshooting If you have trouble flashing the BIOS, try the process again following the steps listed in the Installation section of this document. If you are still unable to flash the BIOS, verify that you are actually attempting to flash the BIOS on a Gateway 400VTX notebook computer and not on any other computer. If this process still fails, contact technical support. Reason for Update This is the latest BIOS and was qualified to ship with Windows 2000 by Gateway.
