BE SURE you're not running on the battery during the BIOS Update Process
=======================================================

Download the BIOS zip file from Acer Website

To create a FreeDOS usb stick bootable I installed UNetbootin (Available in Ubuntu Synaptic). It will install in Application/System Tool

Insert your USb Stick

Start UNetBootin

Distribution: Select FreeDOS Version: 1.0

At the bottom of the screen , select your USB Drive

Click OK

FreeDos will be downloaded and copied on the USB stick...

When it finish, do not reboot...

Extract the BIOS ZIP file at the root of your USB Drive

Now you can retart your netbook to boot on the USB stick

at the A:\ prompt you will need to change for the C: drive to find the BIOS files

Launch the batch files...

Hope it's help!
