(safe way)ĥ: boot the FREEDOS or Dell DOS "DDDP" (later I will show that link below)Ħ: boot the USB stick and then burn the BIOS firmware, SEE IT DOES WORK. (google who to make a freedos stick) it's not a key it is USB flash thumb drive, and put the exe file on the drive, the 545sROM.exe, (you have it) built on PC #2 a working PC.Ĥ: I use a UPS to do that but most don't even know what it is, it prevents AC power loss mid burn. watch dept.Ģ: now i'd remove the HDD, this old they can be bad (most are 10 years old) and can even be shorted inside.ģ: build the DOS boot stick, I use Freedos. Why would we burn firmware using any corrupted OS>? (burn using fresh OS and fresh ROM files)!ġ: replace the old RTC coin cell, (the PC is 2009 now,and the RTC is long long past due and dead, replace it for $1 sold at walmart CR2032. This way below is safe, 100% safe done right.įirst off no HDD need be in the PC at all, most this old are bad, and so is your windows and is corrupted. DOS way is best, (dell calls this the linux way, or the non Windows OS way) So you did the windows way and it fails, as did vast fail (google THAT millions failed world wide !!!)
