Hi, i've got a Pakard Bell IMEDIA MC 1804 and am just about to update my BIOS
for the first time, i'm just wondering if i have to install the previous
versions of the updates or just the latest one.

Your question has nothing to do with Windows. Try
a hardware newsgroup.

You can flash the latest binary to your bios chip. Make sure your system
box is connected to a ups during the upload.
If you're updating your bios to solve a specific problem, fine !
If not, you're an idiot !

This is not an XP OS issue. Ask Packard Bell tech support or in a hardware
forum.

hi,well it depends on whether it's a phoenix or a different one. If it's a
different one then yu definitely want the latest one and the other latest
one too. But pheonix is different.

You are 100% correct Richard. Never touch the bios unless there is something
wrong.

Just the latest one.

Why do you think you need to upgrade your BIOS?

Certainly don't do it just because it's X years old and there are upgrades
available. Although a BIOS upgrade normally goes well, it is not without
danger. If something goes wrong while the upgrade is an progress (for
example, a lapse in power) you can be left with no BIOS at all, and an
unbootable computer.

Do a BIOS upgrade if you need to--because you are having a problem that the
new version is known to fix--not just because one is available.

Run across some bios updates where allows some other part of the bios setup,
not available previously. But, not provided in that info about it was that
some other part of the bios setup was no longer available.
