OK...lets get this straight...to flash the BIOS, you go to your motherboards home page...look up the exact MODEL # you have, with the SAME BIOS mfg. ( in some years due to supply problems, different BIOS mfg's were put on the same model of mobo ) then get your BIOS from them...as far as I know alot of the older BIOS' were _NOT_ flashable. Flashable BIOS has only been in the last 4 - 7 years as a standard. But most/all of them in the last few years have been upgradable. Most of the BIOS' for different mfg's of mobo's are specific to thier chipsets, eg: ABIT PX5 with AWARD BIOS, has a different chipset/buses/etc than an ASUS P5A with an AWARD BIOS So my advice is to get MAKE/MODEL/BIOS MFG. of _YOUR_ mobo, and go get the correct flash file. Also read the directions and understand them.:) HTH Jaguar Rial Juan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Uhh, dude...
