Flash Utility Error

SLN302332_en_US__1icon NOTE: In a pure Windows 64bit environment it is not possible to run the common Dell executable BIOS flash update. Dell BIOS only supports running in a 32bit available environment. Dell provides a tool to accomplish this called Flash64W.exe (v3.1.1).
This tool is Dell proprietary.

If you are using a version of Dell 64BIT BIOS Flash Utility lower than version 3.1.1 then you may receive an "Unsupported System ID" error on certain Dell Models.

Solution

You can download the latest version of the Dell 64BIT BIOS Flash Utility from the Dell Support Website.

The syntax to use the utility is as follows:

Example: To Install BIOS - <pathname>\flash64W.exe /b=<BIOSfilename>.exe
