Warranty

What do you need:

To flash your BIOS you'll need

1)a xxxxx.bin file that is a file image of the new BIOS

2)AWDFLASH.EXE a utility that can write the data-file into the BIOS chip.

The procedure:

Create a new, clean DOS (6 or higher) bootable floppy with "format a: /s".

Copy flash utility and the BIOS image file to this disk.

Turn your computer off. Insert the floppy you just created and boot the computer. As it boots up, hit the [DEL] key to enter the CMOS setup. Go to "LOAD SETUP (or BIOS) DEFAULTS," and then save and exit the setup program. Continue to boot with the floppy disk.

Type "AWDFLASH" to execute the flash utility. When prompted, enter the name of the new BIOS image and begin the flash procedure. Note: If you reboot now, you may not be able to boot again.

After the flash utility is complete, reboot the system.
