1. install XP 32bit, since it's the only OS supported at their site

2. check your GPU - there are separate BIOS downloads for ATI X300 Graphic Card, ATI X600, ATI X700 and Intel Graphic Card

3. download the BIOS for your GPU

4. forget about the whole thing, so you don't come back tomorrow asking how to fix your laptop to work again

 

The available versions are 3A45 for ATI graphics and 3A43 for Intel.

Why do you want to update it anyways?

to be honest i only need update the standard BIOS and not the graphic card

There are different versions of standard BIOS that depend on graphic card.
