Source File Not Found Whew! Silly me, I think I made a mistake right there. I renamed the bios image file to EMX690V2.BIN (removed the zero, which is the 9th character) thinking that this will fix the error "Source file not found" because the original file name was EMX690V20.BIN, which appears in DOS like EMX690~1.BIN. Ok, so I think I fixed the error "Source file not found", but then I received the error "The program file's number doesn't match with your system", so I renamed it back to its original file name "EMX690V20.BIN" and as expected the "Source file not found" came out again. I think Award utility does not read the full file name because it's in DOS mode. What should I do?
Rename the original(unmodded) bios file to "a.bin" and flash it from DOS like this: awdflash a.bin /py /sn /cc /cp /cd /LD /R If flashing is succesfull, do the same with the mod. This is an ISA mod, which never coused a bricked board or any other problems. If you cant flash the original(unmodded) bios, then please check to see if you've got the right bios for your board.
Emaxx EMXAMD690HD BIOS Update Failed Ok, that didn't work either. The error says the program file's part number does not match with the system. It's really odd because I am pretty sure that is the right model and manufacturer for my motherboard. What if we just mod the existing BIOS in my system? Will that work? Question is, how do I extract the image file from a BIOS for modification?
To save your curent bios create bootable Floppy or USB Stick, boot to DOS and type: awdflash x:\bios.bin /pn /sy "x" stands for the drive letter where you want to save your bios, in your case the USB Stick.
Award BIOS Extraction Mr @petar Sir, Thank you for being patient. I'll do that... I'll give you feedback later this night (it's 10am here now) at 11pm our time (that's 13 hours from now). I will upload the BIOS and hoping for your time to mod it again.
Award BIOS Extraction Ok, question... Do I need to disable BIOS write protection before running this command? I am asking this because since extraction is a read-only procedure, or is it? How long will it take to extract a BIOS image file?
