| To
recover an Award bios you will need to create
a floppy disk with a working bios file in .BIN
format, an Award flash utility and an AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. Award bios will not automatically restore
the bios information to the system block, for
this reason you will need to add the commands
necessary to flash the bios in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. The system will run the AUTOEXEC.BAT file,
which will in turn flash the bios. Here are
the steps you need to take: 1)
Create a bootable floppy disk.
2) Copy the bios file and flash utility to
the diskette.
3) Create a text file with any standard text
editor and add the following lines
@ECHO OFF
FLASH763 BIOSFILE.BIN /py
In
the above example I am assuming that you are
using the FLASH763.EXE flash utility. You
will need to replace the FLASH763 with the
name of whatever flash utility you are using
and replace the BIOSFILE.BIN with the name
of the bios file you are using. You will also
need to change the '/py' to whatever command
is for your flash utility to automatically
program the bios without user intervention.
If
you do not know the command to automatically
flash your bios, type the name of the flash
utility with a space and then /? to display
the utility's help screen. The help screen
should specify the command switch to automatically
flash your bios. If you are using the FLASH763.EXE
utility then the switch to automatically flash
your bios is '/py'.
After
you've created the disk, put it in the floppy
drive and reboot your system. |
