Hi,
I try to mod bios F15 for GIGABYTE K8NSNXP:
http://tw2005.giga-byte.com/Motherboard ... 8NSNXP.htm
I changed some parts of this bios using cbrom but now I want to unhide some options. I'm trying to use all versions of modbin from:
http://www.biosrepair.com/bioslogo/right2.htm
but I always got message "stack overflow". Is anybody know what program can I use to open this bios to change some default options or unhide some options?

Try using a seperate windows 98 machine in dos mode for stuff like this. The DOS emulation in XP gets worse with each patch/support pack they release...

What doesn't work...the boot disk, or editing program, or your modified BIOS?

That is not true that ModBin has to be run in Win98-DOSBOX or in plain DOS.
Poeple who tell such stupid things:
"You have to run ModBin in Win98-DOSBOX or in plain DOS."
have no knowledges about the config.sys/config.nt.
Normally the DOSBOX in Win2K/XP ("command.com" / "cmd.exe") is configured badly.
So ModBin have troubles to load BIOS files and while start or after saving the modification
you will get error messages like these:
Can't open temporary file
File ORIGINAL.BIN can't open
Can't open file 2MBIOS.BIN !
...
To solve the problem:
Edit the config.nt in your
WinDirectory\System32 as follows:
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
BUFFERS=20,0
FILES=30
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBS=4,0
The important entries are FILES and BUFFERS.
FILES should have the value 30( or more).
After saving the changes you should be able to run ModBin in Windows 2K/XP/... without any problems.
