How to save bios before flashing ??

[Draven]

I use Award Flasher v7.x - 8.x ,and when i try to save my old bios to a floppy it hangs up halfway???

So is there another way to save my old bios?? ..I don't dare go on flashing without that backup..

Depending on your board type, you may have to use older version. Or try UniFlash.

Forgott to say that when i run the flash program first i got a warning message "Bios image file checksum not zero" , could that be why it hangs upp when saving the old bios version ???

Here is my system bytheway...
Entire System
Manufacturer : Fujitsu Siemens
Model : MS-6380V3
Unique ID : 00000000-00000000-00000000-00000000

System Mainboard
Manufacturer : MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD
MP Support : 1 CPU(s)
MPS Version : 1.40
Model : MS-6380V3
BIOS ID : 07/19/2002-VT8366-8233-6A6LVM49C-00

And when i boot up it says..."Award ModularBios v6,00PG W6380F1 v3,0 071902"
So you mean it should work with the flash utility i use now..I mean my bios version is a new one ..i quess..
