Hey, i got the acer aspire SA80, and i have Phoenix Technologies, LTD R01-B1 10/15/2005 BIOS, where can i get an update for this? Its just that i cant boot from CD, im trying to install Vista Ultimate but when i select my dvd drive it pretty much just skips it. it would boot my old not working anymore IDE dvd drive, but i got a new SATA one, so i thought a bios update would fix this... thanks
According to Acer's website, you already have the latest BIOS installed on your computer. http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/portal20.cfm?website=AcerPanAm.com&siteid=7117&areaid=2&formid=3394#results Does the drive correctly read the disc within Windows?
its in the BIOS, and its in my computer and i can read/burn fine, but when i wanna boot from CD, it will just skip straight past it like theres no disc, so yea... can ya help plz ^^
On my gateway laptop which also has a Pheonix bios what i have to do is arrow over to boot. Then use the - key to lower the item that is at the top of the list. If u have this option just do this until cd/dvd is on top of everything else. Good luck
