Ok I'm at the stage where AwardBios Flash program is asking for "File name to Program" I input av8x4m14.awd into the box and it give this response (It is a wrong source File! Mabey System was not new AWARD BIOS version. Please to comfirm input correct file, or update ROM BIOS first). In the instructions on Asus's website they are showing a .bin file for this.... All i have is a .awd file... Any clues or input
Just to be on the safe side... The file I have is (av8x4m14.awd not av8x4m14.bin) if i use the file I have in AWDFLASH.exe it gives the previous error stated. If I use the file I have in Aflash.exe or even ezflash it does the update, but in the end... There is no slic table reported by rw-everything... I hope I am making myself clear Again thanks for trying to help out with this problem.
I've check asus website to your mobo and has latest bios A7V8X Beta BIOS 1015.003 in beta maybe it will work. or you may ask 911medic for this to do manual modding.
Well 1st and foremost I'd like to say thank you for your time and effort... I PM'ed 911medic earlier concerning this and hopefully he can find the time to investigate my problem. I think that the confusion arose because there were 2 separate programs with very similar names ie. awdflash.exe (I believe for newer motherboards) and aflash.exe (I believe for older -including mine- motherboards). Both of these programs are used for asus award bios updating... But like I said I'm very greatfull for your time and effort.
Ok, Ok, Ok, You are officially the SH&TE... The Slic table is there and I will be testing it with the OS tommorrow. It's getting late and I have to take my boy to a B-Day Party in the morning. By the way I noticed that you just don't help people with trivial bios problems, but with life threatening problems as well... KUDOS To 911Medic Again, thankyou to ALL that were willing to help... I'll let you know how it goes tommorrow
Very good..Thanks for the feedback. And of course the kind words..don't hear "thank you" that often in my line of work.... I am sure if the IDs match, then the OS will activate. Any chance of an upload of RWeveything or the slicdump??? FYI: The ASUS_FLASH string is present in the bios and should be good for XP as well.
