I tried to upgrade the BIOS of an X61 but it failed for some reason, so wondered about trying to create a bootable USB stick....
After reading:-
https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_Upg ... d_X_Series
it sounds as though I can make a USB stick but need some files which don't seem to exist in the downloaded utility - 7nuj22us.exe
Any idea where to find the required IMG file?

I remember opening the ISO file with 7-zip to get the files that I need.

I finally came across an ISO. It wasn't downloadable directly from the BIOS update page.axur-delmeria wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:25 pmI remember opening the ISO file with 7-zip to get the files that I need.
It can be found here:-
