Hello. I have a notebook AST Ascentia P Series. I have new bios data, but i cant burn them, because i dont have a diskette drive for the notebook. How can i burn the bios from the Win98?

That DOESNT answer the question. I have a SOLTEK 85DRV and when i boot into dos all the letters are gibberishand nothing can be read. The drive letter for example is @\ and when i push the I button i get an H but if i push it again i get an I. If i hold H for example i get a sequence, that the system repeats . like this: HIHHIIHIIIHIHI.
Its saying the words itst supposed to, but in all different letters.

I'm sorry but... this has got to be the most useless piece of information i have ever stumbled across.
You have the exact question I would like answering but you simply expand on the question without providing an answer!!

damn, i can fix all your computers, but its easier to fix them than to tell someone how to fix them. too bad AST is dead. i have an Ascentia P series too, and it is a damn fine laptop for its day & age. i lost the cd rom drive somewhere in the last 10 years so i have to use an adapter and put the hard drive in my computer if i want to switch operating systems. i can't figure out what kind of RAM it uses, so i am stuck with 32mb, but at least im not stuck with 16mb and a 133mhz cpu. i can run windows 98 it is just kinda sluggish. i can't find the bios updates though because support for AST has vanished

As always, I find your responses solid common sense (or it seems so when you explain your answers) I note the FAQ's coming up, and the same SENSIBLE, answers being given. Yes, your advice to leave the bios alone except in dire necessity is a sound and complete answer. Out of the ranks of the highly technical experts it is refreshing to find one who is AGAINST unnecessary 'fiddling'!

Leo, just a little correction on mystyping:
in the section "You may also be interested in: ..." right after the article, it says "Win's Bios" instead of "Wim's Bios".
Regards and thank you for the article and the link!
{typo fixed, thanks!}
