How do I update (flash) the BIOS (Reprogram the EEPROM)? |
|
Shuttle has released a self-executing auto BIOS flash file (for Award BIOS model only), which can be directly downloaded to a bootable floppy without decompressing from the original ZIP file first.
- If the BIOS file has the .EXE file extension, you can save it directly to a bootable floppy (without further extraction), restart, boot from Drive A: and at DOS prompt type in the BIOS name to initiate the auto BIOS flash procedure.
- If the BIOS file has the .zip extension and the content contains .ROM file and AMI flash utility (amiflash.exe; MV42 and MV43 use AMI Bios) then you need to extract to the entire content to a bootable floppy and type in amiflash (bios name).rom /a manually to flash BIOS. For example: amiflash mv43s005.rom /a
- For phased out Mainboards, please extract the .bin BIOS file and Award flash utility to a bootable floppy disk, restart, boot from Drive A: and at DOS prompt type Awdflash (bios name).bin to flash BIOS. For advanced users whom wish to clear previous BIOS settings followed by restart type Awdflash (bios name).bin /cc/cd/cp/py/sn/r. After restart, press the DEL key, and then load "Optimized Defaults" in CMOS Setup Utility.
- If you would like to create a bootable CD to update/flash BIOS, please follow the steps in the following.
- Create a bootable CD.
- Copy all necessary files, such as flash utility and BIOS onto your HDD.
- Finally, start up your system using a bootable CD and flash bios from HDD.
To reprogram the EEPROM, please have BIOS file in .bin format ready on a floppy disk and your Mainboard. Then take these to a PC hardware retailer who has an EEPROM machine and can program it for you. It's faster and cheaper to buy a new EEPROM. |
