Recovering BIOS
The CrashFree BIOS 2 auto recovery tool allows you to restore BIOS from a floppy
disk that contains the BIOS file, in case the current BIOS on the motherboard fails or
gets corrupted.
To recover the BIOS, proceed as follows:
1. Prepare a floppy disk that contains the motherboard BIOS (P4C800EI.ROM).
See “Updating BIOS” on page 12.
2. Boot the system.
3. When a corrupted BIOS is detected, the following message displays:
4. Insert a floppy disk that contains the original, or the latest, BIOS file for this
motherboard (P4C800EI.ROM). The BIOS update process continues when the
P4C800EI.ROM file is found.
Caution
Do not shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS!
Doing so may cause system boot failure!
5. When the BIOS update process is complete, reboot the system.
