Help need to unprotect my bios
Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2004 6:09 am
I have a BCM/GVC FR510 (PB 930/950) motherboard with Award 4.51pg bios. The bios ID string is 09/03/1998-Aladdin5-2A5KKG5DC-00.
I am attempting to update the bios so it will see an 80gig hard drive. I have downloaded the only bios that I can find from http://www.scc.nm.ru/b_files.htm
I am using Uniflash v1.33. I backed up the old bios and attempted to update the bios with the new bin, however, at verification everything was fine except the last two blocks which had
an x on them and I recieved a verification error. I tried two more times and got the same verification error. I flashed the backup bios to restore it to the way it was, rebooted and it worked fine.
I then attempted to Flash the bios without the bootblock and received a bootblock mismatch error so I cancelled and did not proceed.
The motherboards specs are here http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/930.htm
I have checked the bios to see if I could turn off bios protection and there is nothing.
I cannot seem to find any jumpers to unprotect the bios. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
