Need BIOS for E-4600 Desktop
I am trying to find a BIOS update (or if none, the original version) to
reflash a corrupted system. The Gateway Web site does not list this model. (Oddly it jumps right over it.) I found an Intel download for the D850GB motherboard but it won't work. If anyone knows where I might find it, I'd appreciate a link. Performance 1400 Gateway E-4600 4000725 Board: Intel Corporation D850GB AAA49507-903 Serial Number: IMGB12518437 (per utility readout) Serial Numer on case: 0024568585 CURRENT BIOS: Intel Corp. GB85010A.15A.0028.P09.0103091412 03/09/2001 |

If the motherboard BIOS is truly hosed and the system won't even display anything on its screen, then the BIOS needs to be flashed in "BIOS recovery mode". Most Intel-designed motherboards have a BIOS recovery jumper. IIRC, the D850GB as made for Gateway differs from the generic version only in the BIOS flashed onto it... Ben Myers |

I have since found it at Gateway and was able to reflash. (The problem was a peculiar malfunctioning of LBA addressing.) |
