Hi there,
Take a look at James's site at
http://www.osoffice.co.uk/strongbolt_upgrade_info.html
if it's a Intel EEPROM then look at my site
http://www.dincom.co.uk/bq/ taking the ROM FLASHING link
A word of warning about going back to the old HDD. Once flashed with the new
ROM, I've found that it doesn't like the old HDD. You can reload the original
OS on a drive running on the new ROM. I've also found that if you then
reflash with the original ROM it still finds errors during boot, even a cmos
reset doesn't seem to work.
Best Regards,
Howie.
