![]() ![]() I'd probably need to somehow find the dxe driver and its associated pei module though to add it to the Dell bios. The only one Dell offers is an ATI HD5470 (which I do not have) but I do have an ATI HD6770 from an HP laptop. I tried a higher end MXM card and the system rejects it (no video at all) which I'm assuming is because the single MXM driver in the BIOS is for a different model MXM card. On this system Dell has a single optional discrete graphics option (ATI card) or the on board Intel graphics. I'd also like to determine if the bios is truly switchable between EFI and Legacy modes and finally might look closer at the MXM graphics module that is loaded in the BIOS. This system came factory loaded with Win 7 Pro so the bios is currently in a legacy mode. Open a web browser and type into the web address field. Connect a device, such as a computer or tablet, to the internet through WiFi or using an Ethernet cable connected to your modem. One thing I'm going to determine ahead of time will be to try the Dell bios recovery and make sure I can recover the board if a bad bios gets flashed. You can access the Advanced Setup menu by following the steps below: 1. Still a bit confusing and getting it wrong means bricking the system. I'm assuming the same order as the entire setup module for now. I did find one section but there are too many 00 bytes both before and after that section to know where it starts until I can determine what order the bin file actually shows them in. AMIBCP shows the menus in a different order than the extracted setup_whole_ifr so its going to take some digging to determine what the order will be that I need to search for. Looking at my bios I am going to have to dig some to determine the order of things. That does enable a couple of options in the already enabled menus that were hidden though. In the screen shot below, there is a criteria range in cells B1:D2, using headings that match columns in the table below. Follow the instructions in the Advanced Filter Introduction page, to see how to set up a Criteria Range, and an Extract Range. I have AMIBCP and that can open the file just fine and I can even set everything to "user" with AMIBCP save and install the edited bios just fine but none of the hidden menus get enabled with that method. An Advanced Filter can show specific data from a list, by applying criteria. Looking at this right now on the bios for a Dell Vostro 330 AIO. No idea on Legacy although I plan to find out (mine is also in legacy mode but should be full uefi capable as well).
