Salve, vi assicuro che ho letto le guide e non solo quelle di hw, ma ancora non m sento sicuro delle procedure.
Intanto vi spiego il problema. Il pc di un mio amico ogni volta che si avvia gli dice "bios is not installed" e sebbene ciò mi lasci perplesso, questo non gli ha dato evidenti problemi fino a ieri, quando ha deciso di formattare ed installare xp pro con sp1 e 2.
L'installazione non procede, si pianta dopo aver formattato. Se invece decide di non mettere i sp1 e 2 riesce a installare, ma all'avvio il pc risulta decisamente lento e pieno di problemi.
Ha deciso di incaricarmi dell'aggiornamento del bios, la sua mobo è una MSI 875p neo fis2r MS6758 di cui ho già trovato il nuovo bios, ma non mi sento sicuro...
All'interno dello zip c'è una spiegazione, ma ci sono 3 diverse procedure e non so quale seguire. Ecco le 2 a cui penso di dovermi riferire:
Award BIOS Flash Procedure
(Special Thanks to Forum Moderator Bas for his valuable contribution)
1. Check your BIOS for BIOS FLASH DISABLED and ENABLE it, some boards have this function.
For Example:
K7N420 Pro (MS-6373) – BIOS setup/Integrated Peripherals/BIOS Protect/Disabled
2. Know Your model number
a. Open your case and look for the MS-XXXX number on the motherboard between the PCI slots, also check the version number that is written there as well. (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number)
b. Boot up your system & take a look at the top left screen during POST, you should see something like “W6373MS v2.1 122101” This means the board is MS-6373 with BIOS version 2.1
Hint: Many systems are clearing this message very fast, the bios version is then unreadable, you can either press “PAUSE” or disable the “Quick Boot” in the BIOS setup.
3. Download the BIOS that matches your motherboard AND version number (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number). BIOS can be found according to the CPU type of your board like if your CPU is Intel P4 478 type then look here
http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/socket_478.php
if you cannot find the BIOS that matches your board, try here http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/more.php
4. Extract the BIOS-archive that you have downloaded by double clicking to c:\test
5. Boot your system from a Win98 or WinME boot-floppy.
How to make boot floppy in case your don’t have it ready:
For Win9X, You can type [C:\ format a:/s] from the DOS prompt.
For WinMe, You can make a boot floppy from control panel--> add/remove program-->make boot floppy. Remove autoexec.bat & config.sys file if there's any.
For Win2000, there's no way to make boot floppy, so you have to either use Win9X or WinME boot floppy.
For WinXP, you can make a DOS boot disk. Go to Your Computer, right click drive A:, select Format, select copy system files.
7. When you get the A:\ prompt, type the following sequence:
C: <enter>
cd\test <enter>
C:\test> awdfl783m BIOS file
(to save or not to save old BIOS is the user’s decision)
8. Reboot your system when prompted
P.S. If your system doesn't boot after you flashed, please refer to the BIOS recovery method as described http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/note.htm

Scusate il post spropositato, ma visto che devo provare su un pc che non è mio vorrei essere sicuro di non danneggiarlo.
Grazie
