Installing BIO upgrade from a bootable usb, is it possible?
I'm looking forward installing the latest BIO update in order to install win8, I have an Inspiron 15R N5110, the update says it can be installed from a MS DOS environment so I presume I can have a bootable usb with MS DOS and execute the update from there? I can't install it from the OS since I tried installing win8 and it failed because I missed that update before the installation.
Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 has released the new version of BIOS which can be used in the DOS environment. Hence you may use a bootable USB to download it on to the computer.
The direct download link for BIOS version A11 is below:
I've been trying different tools to make a bootable USB and different versions of MS-DOS but still can't make it execute the file since it says The sub-system required to take care of the type of image is not present, is there any specific tool and MS-DOS version I should use in order to make it work?
Im trying to create the MS-DOS setup disk from Windows 7 however this option is not available, I tried on a computer with Win XP and it is not available either.
Ideally to boot from USB we need to follow the steps mentioned in the above link but since setup disk option is not available I request you to refer the below link and follow the steps mentioned in it:
