Install on M1300 BIOS Compatibility Issue
I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Motion Computing M1300 tablet. I have tried installing using the original files downloaded from Digital River, the ISO created from those files, and a separate USB hard drive and get the following error-
I flashed the newest BIOS for my tablet, found on Motion Computing's website, but still get this error. I am subscribed to Phoenix BIOSAgentPlus (the company that made the BIOS) and they say that I have the newest BIOS version for this tablet, which is confirmed through their scan results here-Code:The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue. Windows cannot be installed on this computer with the current system BIOS version. Contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update, install the update, and then start Windows installation again. OEM Name: Motion Computing OEM Model: M1300 BIOS Version: Phoenix NoteBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0 BIOS Date: 20051111000000.000000+000
What the compatibility report says I need and what Phoenix says I have seem to be the same. I know that installing Windows 7 is possible on this machine, as there are several posts on the forum from those who have one. Does anyone know how to remedy this?Code:Information About Your Current BIOS BIOS Type: Phoenix NoteBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0 BIOS ID: MGM-ALL1.86C.1008.D.0511110936 BIOS Date: 20051111 BIOS Vendor: Motion Computing - M1300 BIOS Version: A08 BIOS Size: 1048576 Chipset: Intel 3580 rev 2 Manufacturer: Motion Computing Product: M1300 Base Manufacturer: Compal Computer Corporation Base Product: Compal MX01 Chassis Manufacturer: Compal Computer Corporation
