New ASUS BIOS Format I just downloaded a BIOS update from the ASUS web site for my P9X79 motherboard. The BIOS image now ends in .CAP instead of .ROM and comes with a utility to convert the BIOS format from .ROM to .CAP. The instructions say that once the conversion is made you cannot go back. This change is supposedly made to support Windows 8. I'm not making this change until I hear from Andy, but I don't like the looks of this!!!
Hi Andy, I have a question... I've been out of the bios modding for a fair few months now so I'm what you could call rusty on the subject but I'm about to mod a HP notebook, a Presario C793vu it currently has f30 bios and Im doing the mod on f35. Should I update to f35 first then do rweverything then flash again with a modded f35 or can I just do the rweverything report on f30 for use with the f35 mod. Its an Insydeh20 bios. Thanks again..
Dear phrunt, Its always safe to flash the org bios before the modded one. You have to flash f35 first and create rweverything. Using this rweverything mod the f35 bios and flash it again (your first option). Regards Manu
Hi Good to hear from you I honestly wouldn't like to say..... there are other here who are more expert on the actual practical matters of flashing! Andy
The Phoenix v2.09 works with new BIOS .CAP? Can I follow the same old method with BIOS .CAP to make biosmod? TIA
