Hi all

I have a Clevo 2200C laptop where the CD drive has died, and I want to set it up to boot from an external device. In order to do that, I need to upgrade the BIOS - it's currently running SystemSoft MobilePRO BIOS v1.01.

Clevo's site don't have any BIOS files available on their support page. I've gone to Systemsoft, who apparently were taken over by Insyde - who don't have any BIOS updates available. . .I've googled and done driverguide.com among others, and I can't find a later BIOS!

Could anyone please point me in the right direction for a working BIOS update?

Many thanks

Sorry it's taken me a while to reply - being a new dad limits my geek-time.

I had already tried the BIOS update link prior to posting the question - sorry, I should have mentioned that.
