[Aspire L100] Can't upgrade BIOS
Last response: in Motherboards
Hello
The Aspire L100 (Mobo = Acer FC51PVG, BIOS = Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 12/28/2006) refuses to boot off a USB keydrive.
I've tried three different keydrives, to no avail: The USB ZIP/FDD/CDROM is ignored, and the host starts from the hard-disk.
So I downloaded what seems to be the latest BIOS for the Aspire L100 (BIOS for MB 3.3 BIOS_R03-B0.zip_R03-B0_A_A.zip), unzipped, and ran WinFlash.exe as admin with the 735A1P07.BIN file, but get this error: "Please load the correct BIOS file!".
Does it mean this host simply can't boot off a USB keydrive?
Thank you.

Thanks for the help.
Yes it is. On XP, I right-clicked on the USB drive letter > Format > Quick Format before using an application to build a bootable Linux keydrive.
At boot time, I tried USB FDD, ZIP, CDROM successively, to no avail.
Is this really the latest BIOS for that desktop?
System BIOS version 6.00 PG
SMBIOS version 2.4
System BIOS ID R02-A3 12/28/2006
