- In order to flash update the BIOS,
you will need 2 files:
1. the BIOS binary file
2. AWDFLASH.EXE utility file.
- Create a directory or folder on
you C: and name it BIOS
- Download the BIOS file you needed
(the latest revision always covers the updates
from previous revisions), i.e. BH6FU.EXE, and
download the AWDFLASH.EXE into the new BIOS directory.
- Execute the BIOS file, then it
will automatically self-decompress into a binary
file, i.e. BH6_FU.BIN. You can execute the file
by double clicking it inside Windows Explorer, or
run it under DOS.
- Take a piece of paper and write
down AWDFLASH.EXE and the name of the BIOS binary file.
- Shut down your computer properly,
then turn it off.
- Restart the computer, press DEL to
go into the BIOS, then please disable
the following:
- System BIOS Cacheable (in
Advanced Chipset Features)
- Video BIOS Shadow (in
Advanced BIOS Features)
- If you have a KT7-RAID
motherboard, make sure the "Future
ATA IDE Controller" is enabled in
integrated peripherals.
- Save it, then restart the computer
press Ctrl + F5, just before Windows starting up,
for a clean boot, you will get the message "Windows
is bypassing all your startup files" and you
end up at the DOS prompt.
- Type in "cd BIOS" to go
into your newly created directory.
- Type AWDFLASH newbios.bin /py /cc /sn /cd, where
newbios.bin is the file name for the BIOS binary
file you want your BIOS to upgrade to.
- For example, updating BH6 (bh6_fu.bin),
you would type: AWDFLASH bh6_fu.bin /py /cc /sn /cd
- Press F1 to reset, then press DEL
to go into BIOS, then please:
- Load the Setup Default
