Thanks for helping to clear that up, Dale. A lot of websites tell people to
back-up their old BIOS before flashing, but don't bother mentioning that
it's done via the flash utility. People go nuts trying to figure out which
file to back-up, then quit in despair and give the job to a repair shop
instead.

Subject: Re: [SURVPC] Award BIOS settings
I am looking at the tech manual for a Biostar 8443UUD motherboard I
recently acquired and there is a screen shot of the flash utility
(Flash Memory Writer v5.0 by Award Software) and there is a prompt on
the screen, "Do You Want To Save Bios (Y/N) ?" so I assume it always
presents you with this option. My BIOS on this particular board is a
regular EPROM, so I will not be flashing it. The board came with a
device drivers disk with various drivers for the PCI Bus IDE
controller as well as the flash utility. Unfortunately I don't have
the disk.
