Known Issues and Limitations

If you have a hard drive password set and exit BIOS setup using “Discard Changes” the system may not recognize the drive. A restart or power cycle will resolve the issue.

 

When running WinPhlash on Vista, WinPhlash may appear unresponsive. WinPhlash will continue to run and complete the flash operation. Please do not attempt to exit or cancel the application. Allow ample time for WinPhlash to complete the BIOS update and shutdown your tablet.
