Backup BIOS file bad

[Ron]

Upgraded my BIOS - no problem.
Backed up current BIOS - appeared to be ok.

When I tried to reload old bios, got a message
"BIOS image file checksum error". File is unusable.

It's an Award BIOS and I used the most current edition of Awdflash.

Anyone know what happened?

Thanks
Ron

It seems as though the Award Flash Program is flakey. Hum.

I ran Uniflash to backup the BIOS and all was ok.

Next time I'll get a MB with an AMI BIOS.

Out of curiousity, why did you want to revert back to the backed up BIOS?

[Ron]

Because I'm nuts.

Just wanted to see if I could go from old to new,
then back again.
