Hi Ken,

You have a startup floppy disk with awdflash.exe and the
new BIOS file you have named 1011.bin?

You start your system with that floppy in the drive, and
type "awdflash"? Then you enter "A:\1011.bin"?

You have nothing good to save so you enter No to the
save question.

And now you get the error msg "Source File Not Found!"?


no...no..no.. ;-)

okay, maybe my first discription was not complete...there is no

boot..first
thing i see is:

AWARD BootBlock BIOS V1.0
Copyright blabla...

BIOS ROM checksum error

Detecting floppy drive A media ...
INSERT SYSTEM DISk AND PRESS ENTER

on this disk is the latest awdflash.exe and the 1011.bin. i insert it and
press enter. The next is the following line:



What is this:?
Automatic load AWDFLASH.EXE

Are you saying that you see "Automatic load AWDFLASH.EXE"
displayed on your screen?

after loading, the cursor is at the bottom left and in the AWDFLASh Window
at the bottom line you can read "Source File Not Found"

i get no chance, to type in any filename, can leave this screen only with
reset. strg, alt + del wouldn't work.

This sounds like you somehow have a floppy startup disk
that has an autoexec.bat with a line like:
"awdflash A:\XXXXX.XXX /x/x/x"

Where the file named is not your 1011.bin or is not exactly
entered right.

What is on that floppy? And if it has an autoexec.bat, what's
in it?

Luck;
Ken
