Can you send me a backup of your old BIOS? It's for my BIOS database.

My FTP can be a little bit slow.
More than 100,000 BIOS strings in my database just now!

Kuriaki i didnt clear the cmos.

I used the hot swap method to reprogram my bios with 6bz-a4.bin downloaded from www.honogen.com.Now my system is booting up normally but still it doesnt recogonize 40gb hard disk.

Once again i tried with the bios 6bz_a4x.bin downloaded from ur site. Again the bios check sum error appears.

If that's the case i wuldnt be able to successfully flash the chip with 6bz_a4.bin bios file and the mobo wuldnt be working.

Kuriaki bios file gives bios check sum error.

Bios patcher patched working 6bz_a4.bin doesnt boot.
