I just bought a new computer because my last one got a virus and crashed. I had not downloaded any EFI updates in a long time. I had version 8.1.2 build 84 on my last computer. Which versions should I download? I have a majority of my tunes saved via email, or burnt to a disk.

Thanks
Jared

The most current versions (V7 b211, V8 b203) are where minytrker said.


What is your V2 firmware version...?

Im not sure. I cant get onto my old computer to figure that out. Is it going to be a big issue?

No, dont worry about it. Start with the V7.5 and V8 versions from the main EFILive.com downloads page as they're the latest. After you install them BOTH, plug your V2 in and open V8 Scan & Tune. Click the V2 icon in the Windows taskbar near the clock and then click F6 Firmware. This screen will tell you if you need to upgrade your firmware and/or bootblock. If you need to do the bootblock, do that first then the firmware.
