I have been going out of my mind trying to track down a BIOS upgrade for my Acer Aspire 7100 w/ V66M motherboard so that I can install Windows 2000. Acer no longer supports the Aspire series and offers no futher info. I have been all over the net and have come up empty except for several .bin files found at :
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/desktop/mainboard/V66M/
There are no instructions posted there and I'm not sure which file to use or how to use it. I know I need to use a boot diskette and some version of the Aflash utility but am not sure what version or what the correct syntax and procedure should be.
Given the fact that a bad flash will turn the thing into junk I'm being extra careful.
Any help appreciated.
