actually the main problem is that i could not properly write the bios on the eeprom chip because its a propriety bios. this is when i tried to view the bios file with award bios viewer softwares and it failed. uniflash also can't write it correctly. what should i do?

since i could not view it with standard award bios viewer, this means that it's a specialized bios file right?
