I did update the BIOS of my venerable Thinkpad X61 using a freely available DOS recovery system because I could install Netbsd 6.1.2. I can't remember exactly how I did it but if you google or ask a Dell related forum, there should be a way to update the BIOS using .exe files. I used a similar method to this: http://taint.org/2007/04/23/153737a.html Alternatively you could use Freedos, but I haven't tried. I don't take responsibilities if you blow up your Dell. -- Ottavio
