I do not think that will work with your system. Whatever you do DO NOT
attempt to apply a BIOS update from a different system to yours.

These are the links that relate to your product:

You should specify whether you are just trying to boot the system to a
prompt -- and that is all, or if you want to boot to an operating system
located on the portable device. If the former, you can do it with a bootable
CD ROM. If the latter, you will need a portable hard drive and, AFIK you
might only be able to do it with some flavor of linux (I could be wrong on
that one).

Good luck
