I’ve been updating the BIOS on my MSI Wind U123 religiously since I got it, hoping each time that the latest update will finally allow me to boot, well, anything other than DOS from my class 6 SDHC card (so far, no dice). Went I went to apply the latest update, though, I was greeted with a slightly different message than normal:

ERROR: BIOS has no flash information available

As it turns out, this message doesn’t actually state than the end of the world is near, or that you’ll never be able to update your BIOS. In fact, all it means is that the laptop isn’t connected to AC power and is running off the battery. Simply plug in your laptop and the update will run without issue.

Now why couldn’t they have just said that in the first place?
