Award 4.51PG AWARD MODULAR Driver Reviews

1PG Drivers posted in DriverGuide all failed to flash BIOS. A let down and a waste of time. Go direct to your mboard manufacturer site if possible. Flashing bios is simple. You need to have a system formated floppy. (Please note, Driverguide remove all colon and http typed here thus unable to show the exact command eg format A drive or the full URL path) To create a bootable floppy. you can do a command in Win98 Dos Prompt, format A /s or you can issue a sys a if the floppy is already formatted. Copy your downloaded bios files to your bootable floppy. Insert floppy and reboot your PC. Make sure your BIOS is set to boot off 1st from Floppy. Once booted up from floppy it will run an autoexec.bat which will execute the Awdflash bios process automatically for you. You only have to answer yes or no, and that it. Hope this help. WHAT IS IN THE DOWNLOADED ZIPPED EXE FILE There are 3 files once you installed into a temp folder. AWDFLASH.EXE, autoexec.bat and 5AX.F4 Copy these 3 files into a dos formatted floppy. Make sure it is bootable. See above for instruction. The autoexec batch shown below. awdflash 5AX.F4 upon bootup from your bootable floppy, autoexec will run awdflash automatically and will prompt you everything after that. When prompted to save your original bios just key in a name eg Origbios.bin. When prompted you whether to program your bios. click Yes and once programmed successfully. You can Press F1 to reset or F10 to exist. Remove your floppy. F1 to RESET your pc. Upon bootup your bios shows F4 instead which initially it was 1.4. Press Del to check your Bios configuration, do not reset to default. The new F4 bios for 4.51PG will be able to detect your higher capacity harddisk and auto config it.
