Need Bios Update

motte1376 — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 21:24:19 GMT

I am trying to find the bios for a netserver lx pro. I need version 1.00.06 to run my navigator cd. I am having a heck of a time finding it. Can anyone help?

Does it have to be that exact version or can it be newer?

A 1.00.11 can be found at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=15424&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=50440&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=54
but maybe you've seen that.

What version of navigator do you have? I could see if I have any older ones with that version.

Hm, I have the G.01.55, but it looks like it has the 1.00.11CPOL BIOS version for the LX Pro

great! That should work if i flash the bios with 1.00.11 and use the newer version of cd navigator. I have the newer version of bios on floppy already. I appreciate the help you have been giving me. Im a novice at this as if you cant tell...LOL Thanks

So you've got that version of the Navigator CD? BTW, if you got to ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/servers/software, you can find the (presumably) latest software files for the LX Pro...the files would have an lx prefix, something like lxdrvdos.exe, or lxecu.exe, etc.

No, I have version G.00.50 of the CD navigator. Do you have a newer version? The software site does not. I have tried to look for it. Again thank you for your assistance

I do have the G.01.55 Navigator CD. I've made a copy that does boot, so in theory I could send one to you for the price of mailing, or I could try making an ISO and put it somewhere for you to download.

That would be great! I would be more than happy to send you a money order for the shipping costs. You can send me an email for your details. My information is in my profile. Thank you in advance. You have been a great help.

Let me try uploading a zipped ISO image first, if that's okay. You can contact me for the location and other details at breley(at)hotmail.com. If this works you could save yourself shipping costs.

OK, it is uploaded. Either email me (above) or send me your email address (didn't see it in your profile) and I'll indicated where you can download the ISO file from. Note you'll need something like Nero or Roxio to extract it and burn the CD.
