Re: awdbedit fails

Nono, that's not what I meant.

You can edit the setup menu from the BIOS itself, eg to uncover hidden bios options. If I change ANYTHING in those options, they get discarded as soon as I select another option, regardless of what I try to save those changes.

BigHDD Patcher

Hi. Thanks to information given to me by Jan Hill, and some boredom, I wrote a patcher that patches the AWARD BIOS 32GB bug, meaning after running the patcher, it will not hang anymore after the memory test. I'd love if some people could test it. When I have gained some more knowledge about the 64GB...

Re: IWill P55XU BIOS Update

I think you want to replace the cmos battery if the flash action is a bit flakey
It's good, I measured 2.98V on it :)

And, well, the board is fully functional in either case, so i wouldn't have binned it.

Thanks!

Re: IWill P55XU BIOS Update

Thank you :) When I get home later today I will immediatly try it out.

In correlation with the other thread, if my 40GB HDD still doesn't get recognized, then I'd like to ask for this bios to get patched ;)

Cheers!

AWD64GB

Heya! I'm looking for this tool that lets you patch AWD BIOSes with 64GB bug. Rainbow software doesn't have this tool (I tried the archived versions of the website too!) even though it seems that rainbow created it. EDIT: Oh sorry. I thought it was a publically released program. Any other way to mod...

Boot Block won't recognize Floppy drive

A rather hilarious error of AWDFLASH made the checksum go wrong and my beloved aBit IS7-E is stuck on BIOS ROM Checksum error. But it says Drive A error. I'm stumped here. I connected two different floppy drives and used a gajillion different cables -- nothing. I can't get the thing to recognize my ...

QDI BrillianX B1S Fullscreen Logo

Hello. Said mainboard has a fullscreen logo I'd like to change. The internal filename is QDI2.BMP, although I can't get any image viewer/editor nor tools like EPACoder to recognize its format. My guess is that it's a RAW, headerless BMP. Download the file here (right-click, save as): http://oerg866....
