Good Afternoon to you all and thank you for accepting me into your fantastic forum!
I appologise if this question has already been asked.
I have a Lenovo T61, which i am looking to update the HDD to a SSD. I have 4 gb installed and am running BIOS 2.5.18.
I tried to install the 'Middleton's BIOS' but unless im missing something after performing the update using the 'Winuptp.exe' as Admin and allowing it to go through the flash and re-booting the splash screen still shows the BIOS as 2.5.18?
I'm using Win 7 32bit
Any advice i would greatfully appreciate

Re: Lenovo T61 BIOS
Try using the ISO and boot to CD to flash the Middleton BIOS. I don't recall ever trying to flash it from Windows; it's always worked from the bootable CD though (assuming you have a working battery).
