inadequate firmware code
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 3:19 pm
Right before Windows 98 startups on my thinkpad 600. I get a message Inadequate firmware code. Anyone know what that means?
Sounds like you need a bios update from the Ibm - Lenovo site. There are several updates available depending on your model No, (e.g. 2645-8AU)
Current bios Versions are :
IBET37WW is for an Ibm 600
INET36WW is for an Ibm 600E
ITET55WW is for an Ibm 600X
If you go here : http://www.ibm.com/uk/ and type in your model No, a list should come up. Choose the first link and follow instructions for downloading the bios .exe file of your choice which you can then create a bios floppy from.
I have read somewhere in this forum that a bios update on Cd can be created using Nero etc. bit I haven't tried that option myself yet.
Please let me know how you get on & if I can help you at all, I will.
