Insyde Software is leading worldwide provider of UEFI firmware systems management (BMC firmware) solutions. The most widely used UEFI BIOS in production.

This article explain how to create a booteable USB stick to flash an EFI flasheable file under DOS enviroment. Is my EFI InsydeH2O? The easiest way to figure that is looking on the 'BIOS POST Screen' for this image: Step 0 - Preparing the work enviroment • You must create a folder on your desktop to use it as workspace.

So everyday I can watch(actually download) a lot of videos and music from youtube. You already know I download everything in SUPERFAST 2.5G net speed(class 10 EDGE):) preloaded themes r OK. What i use is online youtube converter. Camera is also OK.

I will use one named 'Toolbox'. • Your current Windows user account must have administrator rights. • You must have the Windows based executable file that contains the EFI flasheable file. If you don't have one, enter to page and get one for your computer. I will use one named 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE.EXE'. • Step 0 done. Step 1 - Preparing working tools • Download and install.

• Download 'HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool'. Save this file inside 'Toolbox' folder. • Download 'DOS Files'. Save this file inside 'Toolbox' folder. • Download 'Flash It Tool'. Save this file inside 'Toolbox' folder. • Extract files downloaded in 2, 3 and 4.

A folder will be created for each extracted ZIP file. • Step 1 done. Step 2 - Creating a booteable USB stick • Connect your USB stick. Make a backup of it contents if necessary. • Open 'HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool' folder and execute 'HPUSBFW.EXE' with administrator rights. • Follow these easy steps as shown below: • Search and select 'DOS Files' folder: • Click on 'Accept' button and then click on 'Start' button to initiate the process. • A warning window appears.

Click on 'Yes' button and wait until the entire process is completed. • Click on 'Accept' button to close the summary window and then click on 'Close' button to close the application. • Step 2 done. Step 3 - Copying the flashing tool • Open 'Flash It Tool' folder. • Select all files and copy them to the root directory of your USB stick. • Step 3 done. Step 4 - Extracting the Windows based EFI update package • Copy 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE.EXE' file to your 'Toolbox' folder.

• Secondary click (left click) on 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE.EXE'. • Select '7-Zip', then select 'Extract to 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE '. • A new folder named 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE' will be created with files inside. • Open 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE' folder and open 'platform.ini' file. It's important to keep this file open.

• Step 4 done. Step 5 - Finding the flasheable EFI file • In 'platform.ini' file, search for the section called '[FDFile]'. • Look for the 'FileName' attribute. This attribute sets the flasheable EFI file name. • Look inside your 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE' folder for that file, and rename it to 'FLASHME.ROM'. • Copy 'FLASHME.ROM' file to the root directory of your USB stick.

• Step 5 done. Step 6 - Setting the computer platform • Look inside your USB stick and open the 'IDS.id' file with a plain text editor (notepad is enough). • In 'platform.ini' file, search for the section called '[Platform_Check]'.

• Copy each 'PlatformName' attribute (only if it have a non-empty value) to 'IDS.id' file. • Saves changes to IDS.id file. • Step 6 done. Step 7 - Finishing • Close all files and folders opened. • Remove securely your USB stick. • Step 7 done.

I'm wondering if I can apply this method even if my computer does not boot and I can't see any BIOS, the only thing I can see is a BLACK SCREEN on which NOTHING HAPPENS, and if the battery is plugged, everytime I plug the charger in and out, there is a SHORT BEEP SOUND. I tried to update the BIOS with a wrong file (I guess). Now the computer is stuck at a BLACK SCREEN, I can't see any movement, any cursor, I mean anything! THere is just a power light, it stays still, too. I can't get the USB work, please help!
