Hotflashing ASUS AWARD bios in a non-asus AMI environment??
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2002 5:07 am
the title says it all
i have a good asus motherboard with a dead asus AWARD bios chip , and a working non-asus AMI motherboard/chip... i don't really know how to hotflash it, funny thing with asus...
once i boot up with the standard AMI chip here, i pull it out, still good... once i put in the AWARD chip in, the computer freezes.
someone please help
(getting a ISA vid card and ISA FDD controller tomorrow - hopefully - if not, then this weekend)
edit: ok, i didn't read it well... i can't HOTFLASH it, but i can still flash it in this board right?
oh yeah, my asus motherboard doesn't have any ISA slots
but this one that im on ( gigabyte ) has 2
and which flashing utility should i use?
