Example 4 will NOT write the BIOS and only read it and save it into the file SAVEBIOS. You can then try writing back that same BIOS as a test to see if everything is working. I believe if you run the program without any options, it might interactively walk you through saving the current BIOS, then …

You have a few options to prepare for the worst: - Is the BIOS chip socketed? - If it is, do you have other boards, that don't work, with the same chip? There is a process called hotflashing: You boot the machine with a working BIOS. Then, while it's running, rip out the chip, put in another, and …

Well, as soon as I ran the Award BIOS Flashing program, I got a error message saying Fail Due to EMM386 or QEMM (I did this while using a 2.5GB HardDrive with DOS 6.22 installed on it currently using HIMEM Memory (No EMM386 loaded) What should I do this time?

I cannot recall the version of flasher i needed. I believe it is Award Bios and therefore needs the Award Flasher but which version? Asus's website is no help. Look at the flash rom chip and compare to here. I seem to remember that when I flashed mine it was one of the 5.x versions that did the …

Two more things you could try: - A 3rd party BIOS from this link (scroll to the TX97 entry to download it), adds support for hard drives up to 128gb and AMD K6-2+/III+ CPUs. Read the PATCH.TXT file for more details: http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm - Add a PCI hard drive …

It is a Seagate drive. Can't you use something like SeaTools to limit the drive? Or at least check if it gets detected as a 32GB one on another PC? I tried to run SeaTools from the Ultimate Boot CD (Right after deleting the partiton) but I was taken to the C:/ Prompt instead and when I typed in the …

To use 30GB+ drive on those motherboards you'll need to jumper it to work on 32GB only. Back up everything on it first, remove all partitions, set the jumper and fdisk/format it to your liking. There's something like this on the drive's label: http://www.techpavan.com/wp-content/uploads/jumper- …

I have this 40GB Seagate harddrive that works amazingly on a IBM 300GL machine but I want to put it into a Custom Built 1997/1998 Pentium 200MMX PC and unfortinally, the BIOS on the Pentium200MMX machine (ASUS TX97) wont detect the hard drive. The 300GL doesn't even have advanced hard drive config …

OK, so I swapped my hard drive for the original 2.5GB one and installed MS-DOS 6.22 and apparently Rayman actually works underthere (Only thing that was kinda different was that I had a S3 Trio64V2 installed) I'm gonna test again with the original ATI Mach64 card to see if its just the video card or …
