However, I am sure that there is someone here that has already done this. I could easily write a DOS app that would find the DSDT and dump it to a file, place it on a FreeDOS formatted thumb drive (image) and ask this user to go that route. However, the disadvantage in this case is that the user doesn't have either platform installed. Intel currently has freely available utilities for both Windows and *nix platforms that will extract the DSDT tables. Come to find out, this user does not have any OS currently installed on that laptop so all bootups must be from a USB thumb drive. I asked if they would dump the DSDT table(s) for me and send them my way. It made it to the point where I parse the ACPI/AML data and froze. A fellow coder grabbed my bootable image, wrote it to a USB thumb drive, and booted it on a laptop.
