When I use awdflash to write memory when it finish it becomes an error that says that the destination patch isn't found

Sounds like a bad flashprog or filename was typed wrong .
Use Uniflash for flashing !
-> Biosfile is compressed in ZIP-format - you have to decompress it first !

So does this mean you have now sucessfully flashed using UniFlash and are now able to correctly detect your hard drive?
