3. Restore BIOS by the Crisis Disk
Enter this function by Fn+ESC, and Power Button. To use this function, it is strongly recommended
to have the coexistence of AC and Batter powers. If this function is enabled, the system will force
the BIOS to enter a special BIOS block, called BootBlock. RD/CSD can use this special BIOS code
to recover the BIOS to a successful one if previous BIOS flashing process fails. However, before
doing this, one Crisis Disk should be prepared in WinXP. Detailed steps are as the followings,
T Prepare the Crisis Disk in WinXP (Crisis Disk will be released when BIOS V1.00 is
released)
T Insert the Crisis Disk to a USB floppy drive which is attached to the failed machine.
T On the power-off state, press Fn+ESC and press button. The system should be powered
on with Crisis Recovery process.
T BootBlock BIOS starts to restore the failed BIOS code. Short beeps should be heard
when flashing.
T If the flashing process is finished, a long beep should be heard.
T Power down the system when Step 3.5 is finished.
If the crisis recovery process is finished, the system should be powered on with a successful BIOS.
RD/CSD can then update the BIOS to a workable on by regular BIOS flashing process.
