How create mini dos diskette? Only copy kernel.sys and command com to diskette? Do bootblock have audio signals? I used Award Tool 1.18 to add HP-MPC Slic 2.1 to Gigabyte P35-DS3R (mb is rev 2.0) bios F13 using SSV3 Method. Flash was successful with Q-flash but after restart I got black screen a two silent beep. Are this beep are connected with boot block ?
1 Long Beep, 2 Short Beeps One long beep followed by two short beeps indicates that there has been some kind of error with the video card.
I was unable to do boot block from floppy I try floppy with 1.miniDOS+awdflash+bios+Autoexec =nothing 2. bios+Autoexec+FLASHSPI.EXE =nothing Floppy's diode have yellow colour But Computer start with pressing any key on keyboard and start dvd rom It is possible that bootblock working from dvd/cd instead of floppy ? Do I need burn on dvd bios+Autoexec+FLASHSPI.EXE or bios+Autoexec+FLASHSPI.EXE+miniDOS or .miniDOS+awdflash+bios+Autoexec ? Any advice or experience with gigabyte motherboard? What about Xpress recovery and Xpress Bios Rescue?

MSI KT4 Ultra. AMI BIOS Successfuly unbricked after playing with SSV1 MOD (SSV1 mod = BRICK, SSV2 (with SLP for WinXP) Works OK on this motherboard. 1. Updated bios with original lates bios first - boot block programinig as default in amiflash - on. 2. Tried to flash modified bios with SSV1 MOD (experimentaly). I DISABLED boot block programing - so it stayed intact Flashed, verified - all OK. Restarted - Black screen. 3. Put: AMIBOOT.ROM on floppy. Restart - NEEDED to press HOME + CTRL to start reading from floppy. HOWEVER! - floppy check for files and starts "spinning" disc constantly but NOTHING else happens... WTF? Repated a few times - no change. Then I put file once again on floppy BUT it's name is: amiboot.rom !NOT! AMIBOOT.ROM And boot block locate it successfuly after first try. SO if your floppy spins but it looks like it can't find/read file - CHANGE name to small letters! Use (for example) Total Commander - SHIFT+F6 is for changing names.
I have ASUS P5Q DELUXE. Its BIOS is 2,097,152 (2MB) Bytes long. How can I recover my BIOS on this board?
Hej Sorry, but my english isn't very well. Hope you understand what I mean. Please learn from my failure. I flashed my phoenix bios with a modified bios and my system chrashed. My laptop was totally dead - black screen and nothing happend. I tried the pen drive recovery, but couldn't start wincris. Instead I tried crisdisk with my usb pen. But of course it didn't work. I gav it a last try with the pen drive recovery..copied all files from the pen drive recovery to the usb pen plus my bios.wph. Changed the compability of wincris to win xp and unbelievebly wincris startet. Followed the instructions, unplugged the pen and replugged it. Continued and pressed start. It couldn't find the files, I pressed ok and the window closed. The next step was to copy these files from my original bios to my usb pen: - minidos.sys - bios.wph - plash16 USB pen plugged to the laptop, pressed win+b, plugged on adapter and started pc. The first about 10 seconds nothing happend beside the usb pen lightend. Suddenly I hear a lot of beep noises and the light on the usb pen stops working. The beep noises continues for about 3-5 minutes and suddently the last long noise and my pc shuts down and restarts. Everything works fine - to be shure I flashed the original bios with iso cd and my laptop works like before. Hopefully there is someone, who can use my experiance. I indeed needed these information to be sure that I was doing the things right.
I am in the same situation, what model was your PC mine is a dell vostro 1400 and I can´t get this method to work. What type of flash drive you use? Please help....
What's wrong and what did you do? My laptop is an FSC Amilo xi3650. Do you have the pen drive recovery?
I was trying to flash a modified bios, during flashing the screen went black for over 2 /3 minutes, I thought it had powered down. I pressed the power button and interrupted the flashing. This has corrupted my bios. If I turn on my PC now, the lights come on and after a second it all goes off again. I can't get the bios to reflash any one???
I don't have anything, I read I could create a recover disk from the dells firmware update file. I can extract the HDR or the ROM file. But I can't get any further than this. I can't get the laptop to read from the usb flash stick. Am i following the correct precedure for modern dell laptops? I read somewhere you might have to put the firmware image file at the root of the HDD. Any ideas? Can you help? I know that phoenix do make the DELL bios.
I contacted someone at dell via email, (in the development team) they informed me that they are unaware of this procedure which is probably why it does not work. He says that when they get a bad flash on the boards they send it to their board team and they then reflash the bios via external hardware (possibly JTAG but I have inferred this) I am awaiting another email hopefully I will be able to get correspondence with some one on the "board team" I will try to find out what the programming pins are and how the bios can be restored. Dan I really think this PHOENIX bios recovery is not for DELL iv tried every combination i´ve only read that this has worked on dell mini 9 and 10 (where the combo is fn + B for mini 9 and fn + END on mini 10)
Hey guys, i bricked my Thinkpad SL500 ... When booting, Screen remains black, but CDs in the tray and fans are spinning (seems like a successful POST - no beeps!). I tried to recover the bios with the methods in Post #1 (USB pen + USB floppy drive) - but the floppy isn't accessed even once! I tried various USB ports and various Key combinations - doesn't help. I even emulated a boot floppy on a cdrw (because the drive seems to get accessed when booting) - nothing. Is there anything I can do?
