Dell 1535 Bios Drivers  

Sam K ,You can't just load the .exe file on to the Cd you have to extract the rom file from the executable ,use something like isobuster or magiciso

Format a usb pendrive to make it bootable

1. Copy the file 1535_A06.EXE to a bootable usb pendrive
2. Boot from the usb pendrive to the DOS prompt.
3. Run the file by typing Y:\1535_A06.EXE (where y is the drive letter where the executable is located).

Ah I didn't know that. I have MagicISO but I can't find the option to extract the rom file from the executable. I googled around after I read your post and I also saw that some people mentioned extracting a .wph file from the .exe bios file as well. So after I put the rom (or wph) file on the boot cd, do I simply execute it from command line?

Yes , But I personnally would go the usb pendrive route, extracting a bios file by a third party software then burning it to a cd may cause problems and could end up with a dead laptop :)

OK I'm in the process of taking your advice. First I tried making a bootable usb following the instructions on the following link but the bootable usb that gets created immediately starts the Windows 7 install process because it has you copy the entire Windows 7 dvd to the usb drive.

How To make Bootable USB

Now I'm trying these instructions.

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all your help.

good luck Sam
