Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

USB HDD: IN BIOS

Hi AJAY, in modern BIOS (UEFI) it is normal to have USB devices listed, such as USB HDD without drive being plugged in.

In older Legacy BIOS, a drive would have to be plugged in for it to be listed in BIOS, but not no londer . . .

 

Dell bios update locked up.

OK, still no luck, lets try to flash your BIOS from a USB flash Drive - you will need to work on another PC for about 15 minutes to create the USB flash drive

1. Click HERE to download the latest BIOS Update for your System - Make a note of the exact name of the file for later

2. Create a bootable DOS USB Flash Drive

• Click HERE to download RUFUS
• Install RUFUS and start the application

• Connect your USB drive to the computer and select it in the Device box
• Ensure the “Create a bootable disk using” checkbox is enabled and ensure FreeDOS is selected. (Rufus includes FreeDOS, so you won’t have to download anything else.)
• Click the Start button. This will erase the contents of your USB drive!
• When the bootable Flash Drive is created, copy the BIOS Update File onto the Flash Drive

3. Flash Your BIOS

• Insert the USB Flash drive into your Dell
• Start your system and press F12 when the Dell Splash logo appears to display the One Time Boot Menu
• Using arrow keys, select USB Storage Device and press Return
• The system will boot to a Diag C:\> prompt
• Run the BIOS Update by typing the full filename e.g. O9010A12.exe and hit Return
• The BIOS Update Utility will load, follow the instructions on screen to flash your BIOS

Hopefully, after all that your system will boot up . . .
