How to upgrade a HiNote or HiNote Ultra from BIOS 1.01 to 1.42

You need a floppy upgrade disk with BIOS Version 1.42

Have the system on charge (AC). Boot to the floppy, but hold down the

left shift key so that it goes to the DOS prompt. At the A:\ DOS prompt

type:

FLASHB /B /OVER

followed by a carriage return. This will start the BIOS update to ignore

the version check and to program the boot block code.

After the update, turn off the machine. When you reboot, go immediately

into SETUP <fn-F3>. Enter the Default menu and select "Load Factory

Default Settings". Exit and Save settings, then power-down to reboot.
