BIOS update for DELL GX270 Windows server 2003

Hi,

As the DELL GX270 is desktop model. When checked on the dell web site, under operating systems list Windows 2003 is not listed.

Hence request you to get in touch with the Dell Support to cross verify whether the Windows 2003 is recommended on the DELL GX270 or not.

Hope this helps,
Shree

Shreedhar,

Recommended OS or not, it doesn't matter - BIOS is NOT an OS specific thing.

when I run it from windows, it give message, you must be logged in as administrator to run it (where i'm already logging in as administrator). the BIOS file is a .exe file... i have the ultimate boot CD utilities tools, which one is the option to use to boot to DOS? what is the recommended way to create bootable CD from a .exe file?

You can't make a bootable CD using just an .exe file.  I am not familiar with UBCD, but you need to have a bootable DOS floppy or CD with the BIOS .exe loaded on it.

After downloading the file, did you right-click, Properties, and Unblock at the bottom of the General tab?

Did you try right-clicking the .exe, Run as..., and uncheck "run in restricted mode" or right-clicking, Properties, Compatability, and check the "allow non-administrators"?

Actually, I just tried on Server 2003 and got the same thing and was unable to make it run trying the things I suggested.  It WILL however run in XP (mine failed obviously because it is not running on a GX270).  Booting to a DOS disk is probably your only option.  If you have a spare drive, you could also install XP on it for the update ... or even booting to an XP live CD may work.
