I have an ASUS P4SD-LA motherboard. I was previously able to change the bios to an ASUS P4G800-V bios using Afudos. I am trying to flash the bios with an Award bios image from an Aopen motherboard that has the same chipset and super i/o. Uniflash won't unlock the bios so that I can write to it. I get error messages, but the computer reboots with the same bios that it had before.
