Sorry, were you only looking to remove the logo?

It just occurred to me. Were you only looking to remove the logo and not put another in its place? You know in the cmos you can turn off the boot logo if you just don't want to see it. The setting is called something like; "silent boot enable" or "boot logo". If you turn the boot logo off you will j...

don't put the intel bios on there if you can avoid it...

I would definately stick with the Gateway bios on your system. Once you put the Intel on you may not be able to go back. There is a way to change the boot screen if you want. The Intel Integrator Toolkit I believe will let you do this. (do a google search for the name to find it). You must have the ...

solved bios id problem but didn't help!

Well after several tries at changing the bios id, I finally got it right. (not sure what I was doing wrong before).

Re: what file contains the bios image?

Hey DMB. The bios image always ends with *.BIO In the dos version I believe it is AG0816P.BIO and in the windows GUI version it is something like; BiosUpdate.BIO.. I have tried changing what I thought was the bios id string using a hex editor but it does not work. Aparently the area that is really u...

I'm in the same boat as dmb

Gateway swears up and down that the AG91510J bios is the correct bios for their intel d915G series boards but what they don't understand is that since this is an intel board the bios files are in the intel express bio update format. You can not use just any utility with these files. You have to use ...
