Note: This is only supported on systems when booted in 'Legacy mode'. In UEFI mode you will need to use a different method.
Removing Ubuntu and Installing Windows 10 on Dell Inspiron 15 3551. While the installation is going on it is good togo to Dell support and download the bios updates and all the Windows 10 drivers that are available to install once the initial installation is completed. The drivers you will want are. This is a Windows Boot CD / USB Method, More than often Dell will release bios updates that only run on a Windows based machine, this detailed tutorial covers how to update Dell motherboard bios. Updating your BIOS on a Dell Vostro, from Ubuntu Linux Gepubliceerd door Bart op 26 oktober 2008 Our laptop is making very annoying beeping noises (seem to be coming from the harddisk), and I thought updating the BIOS might fix it.
Installation the AUR package. Usage To use the biosdisk utility to create a BIOS flash image, first download the latest raw BIOS image for your system from your manufacturer's website. Make sure however, that you always get the BIOS executable and NOT the Windows executable. You then have one of two options: create a ISO or install the image for your bootloader. • The mkimage action will create a ISO image on the user's hard drive. Usage is the following: # biosdisk mkimage [-o option] [-i destination] /path/to/.exe • The install action will create the biosdisk image, copy the image file to /boot, and then update the bootloader with an entry for the image. Then all the user has to do is boot the system and select the image to flash the BIOS; this will load the biosdisk image directly from the hard drive and flash the BIOS.
# biosdisk install [-o option] [--name=] /path/to/.exe Flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It is designed to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware/optionROM images on mainboards, network/graphics/storage controller cards, and various programmer devices.

Warning: If you have a laptop/notebook/netbook, please do NOT try flashrom because interactions with the EC on these machines might crash your machine during flashing. Flashrom tries to detect if a machine is a laptop, but not all laptops follow the standard, so this is not 100% reliable. Installation the or AUR package. Usage Find out if your motherboard and chipset (internal) is supported by flashrom at this website.
You can also find out if your hardware is supported by issuing the following command # flashrom --programmer internal The above command will tell you your motherboard and chipset. You can then find out if yours is supported by issuing this command: # flashrom --programmer internal -L| grep CHIPNAMEfrompreviouscommand On modern mainboards you probably get more than one rom chip listed. You have to select the chipname you get from the upper command. Then you use the -c option to select which rom is affected by the command # flashrom --programmer internal -c 'CHIPNAME' -r backup_CHIPNAME.bin Write and verify the new BIOS image (proprietary or Coreboot) on the ROM chip: # flashrom --programmer internal internal -c 'CHIPNAME' -w newbios.bin If you want to flash other flash chips on your mainboard, you will find all options with # flashrom. Note: With Linux kernel versions greater than 4.4, CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM a new kernel security measure can make flashrom stop working, in that case you can try adding iomem=relaxed to your kernel parameters.. FreeDOS a free DOS-compatible operating system, is up to the challenge, no need for proprietary DOS versions. So, all you need is a bootable floppy disk image with FreeDOS kernel on it.
Unetbootin By far the easiest way to make a bootable FreeDOS USB Stick is using AUR. You should format a pendrive with FAT16 and flag it as 'boot' (you may do this through a GUI with or ). Then, after mounting the flash drive, select under distribution FreeDOS and your mounted stick.
