Appendix A BIOS Flashing User Instructions

When your motherboard needs to be upgraded with new features or to fix some

compatibility problems of the BIOS, you will need to use this BIOS flash utility. This utility

is provided by Award Software, and it’s easy to flash by yourself. But you have to read all

the information within this section before flashing.

Before you can flash the BIOS you need to first go into the

pure DOS environment

rebooting your system and going directly into DOS. Basically, there are two ways to flash

your BIOS. One is to directly type the full line commands that are described in this section.

The utility will then flash your BIOS. When you finish the flash operation, you will see the

screen as in Figure A-2

Note A-1

The other method is to just type

awdflash

(under Award flash BIOS utility directory) then

press enter, the Flash Memory Writer V7.05 screen will show up, please refer to Figure A-

Note A-1

. You need to type “NEWBIOS” (the file name or you can use another name if you

choose) into the “File Name to Program”, then press enter. When you finish the flash

operation, you will see the screen as in Figure A-2.
