I have a Biostar M6TBA V1.4 MOBO with Award BIOS v4.51PG
It locks with the 80GB Maxtor HD. I downloaded a patch from http://wims.rainbow-software.org which has a different date prefix. I've also DL the AWDFlash.exe and tested the utility only to make a backup of the current BIOS. What is the risk of updating with the patch? and how difficult will it be to undo if it doesn't work? I have not updated BIOS before and want to avoid any problems. Thanks for any suggestions or comments.
