Flashed a new BIOS, Floppy not booting or Working in DOS
Posted: Thu Sep 25, 2003 3:03 pm
Hi
Since I "successfully" flashed my BIOS I haven't been able to boot from a floppy or access the floppy drive in DOS. However, I can use the disk drive in Windows 95 without any problems. Is there any options in CMOS that could be changed in order to solve this. (The Boot Sequence is correct, When floppy seek is enabled a disk error appears and when its disabled it doesnt help.
Sorry but i dont have the exact details of the new BIOS at the mo but il add to this soon.
My old BIOS details were:
BIOS Type: Award
BIOS Date: 03/03/97
BIOS ID String: 03/03/97-I430VX-02071997C-00
OEM Signon: Release 03/03/1997S
Chipset: INTEL TRITON 430VX REV 2
Super I/O: UMC/ITE 8669 FOUND AT PORT 108H
I purchased (yes it sounds stupid) a update from esupport.com because it was nice and handy, and I expected some "esupport". I have posed this question to them and they deny that the upgrade could have caused any problems but have made no positive suggestions. Can anyone tell me why it works in Windows that would nearly be as good as a solution!
Il post the new BIOS information soon.
Hopefully someone can help me anything could lead me on the path to enlightenment.
Thanks in Advance
