Hi, guys!
I have a Gateway 2000 Socket 8 motherboard with the VS440FX chipset, its current BIOS signature being 1.00.04.CS1T. I am looking to update it to the latest available BIOS version from Intel's website (1.00.18.CS1) in order to be able to use large HDDs and the PII OD CPU. Unfortunately, the updater fails, refusing to initiate the erase process.
I have read online that OEM VS440FX motherboards can be updated with the Intel BIOS after some tweaking. Has anyone performed this operation successfully? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
