I flashed mine with all my programs running, and the machine continued, and 
continues to work to this day.

Hi Ibrahim,

I agree, but I wouldn't advise having your screen reader loaded when
flashing the BIOS.  Or have you done it successfully?

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve.

If your using a bios update through dos as some bios updates are still done 
that way, I agree that sighted assistance is desirable in case something 
should go wrong.  However, the majority of new laptops and desktop computers

and variants there of use windows-based bios flashing utilities.  The NC10 
is a good example of this.

All the best, Ibrahim
