Aggiornare BIOS QDI Advance 9

[Ximios]

Ciao, vorrei aggiornare il bios della sk madre su cui è installato windows XP.
Vi scrivo la guida ma alcuni passaggi non mi sono chiari:

Advance 9 BIOS V1.9SLC release note.

This disk contains three files:A9_V19.bin,README.TXT,AWDFLASH.EXE

1.The checksum of BIOS File: A9_V19.bin is 9F13(Hex) ;

2. How to use AWDFLASH.EXE utility:
This is a flash memory write/read utility.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The AWDFLASH utility could not correctly run in windows (virtual 8086)
MS-DOS mode. It must be proceeded with the following steps:
1.Create a bootable system floppy diskette by typing "FORMAT A:/S"
from the dos prompt under DOS6.XX or WINDOWS9X environment.
2.Boot system with diskette.
3.Then run the AWDFLASH utility.

Usage: AWDFLASH [FileName1] [FileName2] [/<sw>[/<sw>...]]
FileName1 : New BIOS Name For Flash Programming
FileName2 : BIOS File For Backing-up the Original BIOS

F: Use Flash Routines in Original BIOS For Flash Programming
LD: Destroy CMOS Checksum And No System Halt For First Reboot
After Programming

Example: AWDFLASH 2a59i000.bin /py/sn/cd/cp


Warning:
Avoid power-off incidently in upgrading procedure, or system would fail
to reboot!

Non so come far partire windows xp da dos e dove devo mettere il file AWDFLASH.EXE per eseguirlo..su un floppy forse?!?

Vi chiedo un aiuto..
grazie a tutti!

si..allora inserisci un floppy nel lettore, lo formatti dicendo crea disco di avvio ms-dos poi copi l'exe-in questo caso awdflash.exe- e i file di aggiornamento del bios, riavvii e fai partire il boot dal floppy, poi digiti AWDFLASH.EXE e successivamente dai il percorso del file di aggiornamento

Devi aggiornare il BIOS per qualche motivo particolare o solo perchè ti va di farlo?

appunto...

..è pericoloso?!?! Ho visto che la scheda madre non vede le dimm superiori a 128mb per banco in più non vede gli hard disk da 80gb!

Abbastanza ...
Basta un difetto di comunicazione, il floppy che non va benissimo, uno sbalzo di corrente (quando si fanno queste operazioni si deve stare assolutamente sotto ad un UPS) e metti KO la scheda madre.

Ciao,
anch'io ho una vecchio PC con advance 9 e ho rimediato un PIII a 1400Mhz, solo che per montarlo sulla scheda dovrei aggiornare il BIOS. (da quanto ho capito dai vari forum).
Non vedendo più il sito della QDI non so da dove scarivcarlo.
Ti vorrei chiedere se ne hai in giro ancora una copia.
