I want to extract the old logo from the older bios and then put it in the latest bios.

However, after the flash is done and reboot, the award BIOS boot block keep saying the check sum error and it asks me for original file. Fortunately i have the file, so i am able to recover it.

Here is the comand i use to extract and add the logo

1)Extract old logo from old.bin and name it as "abc.bmp"
cbrom old.bin /logo extract

2)Delete the unwanted logo from latest.bin
CBROM latest.BIN /logo Release

3)CBROM latest.BIN /LOGO abc.bmp

I tried both CBROM V1.4 and 2.15 and stil does not work. It keeps say checkum error after reboot(flash the BIOS using uniflash).
If i use award flash, then the flasher said check sum error also and refuese to flash.

I can view the output abc.bmp and it is 640 x 480.

Any suggestion?

Once you cbrom a file and perform any modifications, it's usually wise to open the resulting BIOS file with Modbin, and then exit. It usually corrects checksum issues. Try that.
