Guys,

My question is in regard to my SRX77, but I’m hopeful that one of the gurus here will have an answer for me.

I want to update the BIOS on the SRX77; the update is supposed to install from a bootable floppy, which I’ve created.  However, the floppy drive is a USB type, and I can’t make the machine boot from it.

I’m pretty sure the machine will boot from the PCMCIA CD drive—but it’s read-only, so even if I knew how to make a bootable CD, I can’t do it on this machine.

I do have a Dell desktop that has both a floppy and a CD-R drive—is there a way to use the bootable floppy I’ve created to make a bootable CD on that machine?

Thanks!

DC

Yeah, my old version of Roxy (5.0) says it will do that—but every time I try, it says it can’t read the floppy.  I can explore the files on the floppy just fine so I dunno what that’s about….

Thanks,

DC

Good information, Dave, thanks!  I’ve tried some of your suggestions, but still no-go.  I’ve been trying to do this with a Fujitsu floppy drive that came with my wife’s computer; guess I’ll go over to ebay and buy a Sony drive.  They’re pretty cheap ($35 or so) there, and it would relieve me of all the aggravation.

It’s not as important to me as it once was, though—I found the hibernation problem I was having was a caused by a rogue Quicken file, so the BIOS update wouldn’t have solved it, but I probably should do it anyway.

Thanks, again.
