6. Select 1. Save Current BIOS to File from the Main menu and press
<Enter>. The Save Current BIOS To File screen appears.
7. Type a filename and the path, for example, A:\XXX-XX.XXX, then
press <Enter>.
5. In DOS mode, type A:\AFLASH <Enter> to run AFLASH.
IMPORTANT! If the word “unknown” appears after Flash Memory:, the
memory chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI
BIOS and therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer
utility.
4. Reboot the computer from the floppy disk.
NOTE! AFLASH works only in DOS mode. It does not function in the
DOS prompt within Windows, and does not function with certain memory
drivers that may be loaded when you boot from the hard drive. It is
recommended that you reboot using a floppy disk. Use only a DOS 6.2,
WIN95 / WIN98 boot disk.
NOTE! BIOS setup must specify “Floppy” as the first item in the boot
sequence.
1. Type FORMAT A:/S at the DOS prompt to create a bootable system disk.
DO NOT copy AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to the disk.
2. Insert Support CD.
3. Type COPY D:\Software\AFLASH\AFLASH.EXE A:\ (assuming D is your
CD-ROM drive) to copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created.
