I have a dvd +rw combo and I need to update my BIOS for my thinkpad for that I need to burn an ISO file from the original zip file (7lujxxuc.iso orgional bios file in zip format with ISO extension). For ex I got a 7lujxxuc.iso zipped file from the LENOVO website. I have downloaded it and now I need to create an iso bootable CD. I do not know how to do that, can anyone please help me. I am really worried about it because its a BIOS flash and if anything goes wrong I need to throw my laptop. SO my question is how do we create a bootable iso file with the existing (7lujxxuc.iso)zip file, should I first unzip it and then create an iso image and then burn the iso image and make it bootable or just select the original iso file and use the create iso file option on the cd and then boot through it. I do not understand how to do it and the lenovo instructions to flash the bios is very vague and they are not responding if I post it in their forums. Given below are the instructions given by them and I do not get a clue out of it,
Make sure you have a ThinkPad system with a CD-RW, CD-RW/DVD combo, or DVD multidrive installed and a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Start Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and logon with administrative privileges.
Download the ISO file.
For Windows XP, 2000, click Start, then click Run...
Specify the path where you downloaded the file, then click OK. RecordNow! or the default recording software will open.
Example: C:\temp\7lujxxuc.iso
Follow the instructions on the screen.
I do not have a RECORD NOW software and when i did the last step I am not getting any instructions like how to do it. What I did is first I have downloaded the file to my hard disk and then extracted it with a rar file and I got a bunch of files and I am not able to proceed how to make a iso bootable file with those files.
My question is can I just choose the write image file to disc option from imgburn and point out the 7lujxxuc.iso to my cd drive ,and boot through the cd or should I first extract all the files and then choose create image file from the files option after pointing out to the extracted files from the 7lujxxuc.iso(bios file). And if at all I choose Write image file to disc will that be bootable. Please help me, I really appreciate your reply. Please provide the detailed steps like how to do it.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks a lot in advance,
