flash gigabyte bios
Hi!
I have a gigabyte GA-7ZX Aafter downloading the new bios file from giga-byte.com i copyed the files to a floppy and rebooted. The boot sequence stoped at the floppy but only asked me to "remove all disks" and "press any key". I tryed runing the autoexec.bat file inside windows (XP Home) and i got to the flash program and it gave me the following error messages in order 1)chipset not supported press any key 2) the flash part is not supported press any key 3)make sure the flash is not portected press any key then it entered the program even after checking the BIOS and making sure the flash protection was off I sill get the same results. reading the websites PDF files Can someone please help? |

That is the standard way of doing it, unless your board has a *bug-free* flash routine built into the bios which for some odd reason you simply MUST use. Do not run autoexec from within windows, bios flashing with dos flasher should only be done in pure dos. 1)chipset not supported press any key 2) the flash part is not supported press any key 3)make sure the flash is not portected press any key then it entered the program Try again with bootable floppy, in DOS, and if it doesn't work giving the unsupported or unknown flash message then copy a bunch of different versions of the flasher to the floppy, reboot to the floppy and try each in turn. |

Also, if you do not have a DOS boot disk you might get one at bootdisk.com. |

BIOS flashing should really be performed by people who know what they're doing. Even with Gigabyte's dual BIOS arrangement (used on some of their boards), there's still the potential to muck things up. Paul |
