Hi rajib_raju.
Beside Uniflash and some other guys I am responsible for BIOS-modification-questions/problems.
Is this your mainboard?

Well, there is not really much free space.
Just 1447 Bytes.
Now, there are following possible solutions:
1.)
We remove a/both PCI AddOn ROM-module/s, if you do not need them.
In this case the first module is the
2975Intel(r)845G/845GL/845GE/845GV PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS
(BIOS for the OnBoard graphics card)
and the second module is the
PXE/Boot ROM for the Onboard Realtek RTL8139(X)/8130/810X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller
If you do not need "boot-via-LAN-feature" then we/I can remove this module to get more space for a Logo.
->The network card(Fast Ethernet Controller) itself still should work.

Hello Brog,
Yes you're right .that is my motherboard > http://www.asrock.com/support/download/ ... 5.htm#bios
But the screenshot you show me there I can see you select the latest bios file P4i45GV R5.0 V 3.1 but I want to do it on previous bios version which is P4i45GV R5.0 V 3.0. Now my question is can I do same steps with P4i45GV R5.0 V 3.0 as you describe me for other latest bios file P4i45GV R5.0 V 3.1?
One more question I have....what program will be best to mod the bios module for this program? BCP760.EXE or anything else which is much better?
If remove PCI Add-On ROM- Module for BIOS for the Onboard graphics card > 2975Intel(r)845G/845GL/845GE/845GV PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS > then is that onboard vga is going stop working or what changes will be happen ? Can you explain me little that what is features of that module? Suppose I need both of the modules in that case is there any other ways to make some space in that bios file?
I am very much thankful to you for reply me, I was feeling so dumb before without get any help and respond from anybody but now I am really very happy
I will keep in touch with this website forum always. I like you and your friends for sharing knowledge and help. Thanks a lot to all of you.

Hi.
If you have an external/further PCI/AGP-graphics card then we can remove the VGA-BIOS for the onboard graphic card.
There is a question:
After Flashing the modified BIOS how to select the external PCI/AGP graphics card, if this does not happen automatically?
If you do not need the "BOOT from LAN"-feature then we can remove the BOOT-ROM.
->The network card still should work.

rajib_raju, please be carefull when updating your BIOS!
Beware of the ASRock BIOS structure.
Do only flash if you're 100% sure the modified BIOS will work.
No testing, trying, or doubts, it'll kill your board.
Since ASRock cutted out the recovery routine of the Boot Block there's no way to recovery from a bad flash!
Furthermore they've locked some of their BIOS images with some additional internal checksums.
When you just add or replace a module with AMIBCP and save the modified ROM, AMIBCP might apply the wrong checksums and corrupt the BIOS image, allthough it seems to be 100% ok when opening it with any AMIBCP or MMTool utility.
I experienced a lot of trouble myself with the ASRock K7S8X, K7S8XE and K7VT2 board! It was always dead after I flashed a modified BIOS ...

"Good morning" Amiboot.
We already know it.
Furthermore the modification was already done by me month ago.
