Preparing the BIOS Update Diskette
Before using the BIOS update diskette, you must make the diskette BIOS flash ready.
Refer to the
readme.txt
file on the diskette before using the diskette.
Follow these instructions to prepare the BIOS Update Diskette.
1.
Scan your hard drive for any computer viruses.
2.
Unlock the write protect notch on the diskette, if necessary.
3.
Insert the diskette into the diskette drive.
4.
Type
a:\install
(where a: is the diskette drive) at the DOS prompt and follow the
on-screen instructions.
Install.bat copies the DOS system files from your hard drive onto the BIOS Update
Diskette to make it BIOS flash ready.
The system prompts you when the process is complete.
5.
Scan the BIOS Update Diskette for computer viruses.
The diskette is ready for use.
Performing the BIOS Update
Make the following preparations before performing the BIOS update. Before you
begin, be sure to:
Connect the computer to AC power and power off the computer.
Configure Boot Devices in the BIOS Setup for booting from a floppy diskette (see
“Boot Menu” earlier in this chapter).
Remove any bootable CDs from the VersaBay IV drive.
Write down what you’ve done to customize your BIOS settings.
Once you have prepared the system for a BIOS update, perform the following steps:
1.
Insert the BIOS Update diskette into the diskette drive.
2.
Power on the computer with the diskette in the diskette drive. The computer boots
and automatically loads the utility. Read the message that displays and follow the
instructions.
3.
Press
Enter
to continue.
The utility checks the currently installed BIOS version and the diskette’s BIOS
version. The Main menu appears.
