How do you replace the bios? Do I just go into setup and reformat the hard drive? I need details, please. These are 486 machines that were on a Novell network. Thanks

Replace the bios? You probably mean flash it with an update correct? The bios information is not stored on the hard drive so this will not do it. you need to obtain bios updates from the manufacturer (usually available on the web site). These updates will create a bootable disk for you and automatically flash the bios. Might I ask why you need to "replace" the bios.

i have a toshiba infinia7130 and the bios on that machine is reporting a system board device conflict . I would like to know what to set all the options to to get rid of that error ive tried flashing the bios and or restoring to defaults.i need to manually set it but dont have the settings that work . please help if possible thankyou
