newbie: About update bios on IS7
update from bios id 10 to 17 (latest)
The manual says I must use this syntax for updateing bios: awdflash se6_sw.bin /cc /cd /cp /py /sn /cks /r_ But the IS7G_17.TXT (readme file embedded with the bios update file) file says: Run "runme.bat" ************************************************** ******** listings below show contains in runme.bat and abitfae.bat RUNME.BAT: @echo off cls ECHO !-------------------------------------------------! ECHO ! ! ECHO !Please DO NOT run this batch file under Windows! ! ECHO ! ! ECHO !-------------------------------------------------! pause call abitfae.bat is7g_17.bin ABITFAE.BAT @ECHO OFF cls ECHO Please make sure of the following: ECHO 1) You have made a CLEAN boot from your floopy disk, ECHO i.e. NO autoexec.bat and config.sys files are loaded. ECHO 2) The BIOS file you are trying to upgrade is correct ECHO for your board, otherwise you will get the unknown failure. IF "%1"=="" GOTO Error_3 ECHO !----------------------------------------------! ECHO ! ! ECHO !Be sure the current PC system is pure without ! ECHO !any resident progarm. ! ECHO ! ! ECHO !----------------------------------------------! pause cls IF NOT EXIST AWDFLASH.EXE GOTO Error_1 IF NOT EXIST %1 GOTO Error_2 ECHO !----------------------------------------------! ECHO ! ! ECHO ! !Be sure you are ready to update the BIOS! ! ECHO ! ! ECHO !----------------------------------------------! pause AWDFLASH.EXE %1 /py /sn /cd /cp /cc goto End :Error_1 ECHO No AWDFLASH.EXE!!! or you may have not execute the .EXE file to be a ..BIN file yet. ECHO Flash Failure !!! goto End :Error_2 ECHO No %1 file or you may have not execute the .EXE file to be a .BIN file yet. ECHO !!! Flash Failure !!! goto End :Error_3 ECHO Command error: No parameters goto End :End Is it safe to just use the runme.bat or is it best to do what the manaul says? One other thing IS7G_17.TXT also says that after updateing bios I have to pull off the power cord and then clear the CMOS data via jumper before restarting system why should I do that??? I will do update from plain dos |

I recommend downloading the DRDOS boot disk from http://www.bootdisk.com/
It guarantees pure DOS, no memory managers or complications that can screw up the flash. Just put the flasher, .bat and .bin on the same floppy and type RUNME at the prompt. You should follow the directions to clear the CMOS, unplugging and switching the jumper for a full minute. That will take all settings back to defaults, so you should make a note of any settings you've changed so you can recreate them. Some people skip this step and get away with it, but others have reported that occasionally some options disappear or don't function properly. On the first boot, go immediately into the bios and go through all your settings to put them where you want them. If you're unsure about anything (the manual leaves a lot to be desired,) visit the bios guide at www.rojakpot.com for explanations and tuning tips.
