GA-8ANXP-D BIOS update question

#1 November 2nd 04, 04:45 PM

Hi ... I've tried to use QFlash to update the BIOS from F2 to F4 on this
motherboard, but when I select "Update Main BIOS from floppy" I get a
message saying the BIOS is protected.

I searched the BIOS menu pages and can't find a way to unprotect the
BIOS so it will allow an update. I left an inquiry for tech support on
their web site, but so far no response.

Any thoughts?

Go to the Advanced BIOS Features page of the system setup program and set
BIOS Flash Protection to [Auto]. You may need to press Ctrl-F1at the main
menu to see the advanced settings.
