When booting, enter The BIOS and select the UEFI shell as a boot device. From there, you can flash the M1015. Ogi

I found a utility for dos, but now I got this errot Failed to initialize PAL Any clue what that means ?? //Peter That sounds similar to flashing a M1015 on an incompatible MB. Yup, However it's simple enough to get around. That portion of the flashing procedure should be done in a UEFI shell.
