Often users ask questions that are related to the standard I / O system. There are several reasons why the BIOS is swapped. This allows you to use newer versions, fix bugs. To reinstall this system, you need to do several sequential operations.
Necessary
Personal computer, new BIOS version
Instructions
Step 1
New BIOS versions can also be downloaded from the Internet. In order to rearrange the BIOS, you must have a special program and a file with the BIOS. Boot your computer without drivers. To do this, press "F8" and select "Safe Mode Command Prompt only". Run the BIOS flashing program. If you are asked whether to keep the current version, answer yes. Specify the path to the new BIOS folder. Press the Enter button. When running "awd flash xxx.bin", the reinstallation will not take long. Restart your computer. In the BIOS, go to the "Setup" item and set all the necessary settings. Hard drives are not formatted after reinstallation.
Step 2
Make yourself a Floppy drive if you don't have one. Find the new version of the "AwardFlash" software on the Internet. You will need software with which you will reinstall or update the BIOS. Write to the "AwardFlash" floppy disk, as well as the BIOS files downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer's website for future reinstallation / updating. Write down their names on a piece of paper so as not to forget when you work in DOS.
Step 3
Make sure the floppy disk is still in the floppy drive, then restart the computer, but boot from the floppy disk. "AwardFlash" is launched. In it, enter the path to the file for reinstalling the BIOS. Press Enter. Wait for the BIOS to update. Do not leave your computer a single step. Have complete control over the installation process, but do not interfere with the main process. Do not try to change your mind and restart your computer during reinstallation, otherwise your motherboard will simply break. Once the program finishes reinstalling the BIOS, the computer will restart. At this very moment, remove the floppy from the Floppy.
