Am I to unpack the updated bios in a different computer, save it on a flash drive as instructed in your other posting, and then use q-flash to update? Or do I do everything in the new system that will eventually be my new Hackintosh? If its the latter, I'm confused how to go about unpacking despite the file being self-extradicting if the new system is completely empty of any os to allow the unpacking?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-28592532369011020262011-04-16T14:22:57.682-07:002011-04-16T14:22:57.682-07:007zX also works on the Mac7zX also works on the MacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-44845658658918914402011-03-08T20:14:26.309-08:002011-03-08T20:14:26.309-08:00Make sure you have latest version of stuffit.Make sure you have latest version of stuffit.mcpcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-8006216465355980632011-01-24T05:05:12.076-08:002011-01-24T05:05:12.076-08:00@link Description: Open the .exe file with keka ag...@link Description: Open the .exe file with keka again...Lnx2Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657587386685255719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-66324308117979541982011-01-24T00:21:06.509-08:002011-01-24T00:21:06.509-08:00hello i'm trying to update my bios to FE. i do...hello i'm trying to update my bios to FE. i downloaded the .rar file and dropped it in Keka, but all i get are .exe files.
