Recovering The Bios With Crashfree Bios 2 - Asus Terminator 2 Barebone System T2-R User Manual

5.1.5 Recovering the BIOS with CrashFree BIOS 2

The CrashFree BIOS 2 auto recovery tool allows you to restore BIOS from
the motherboard support CD, or from a floppy disk that contains the BIOS
file, if the current BIOS on the motherboard fails or gets corrupted.
• Prepare the support CD that came with the motherboard or a floppy
disk that contains the motherboard BIOS (P4R8T.ROM) before
proceeding with the BIOS update process.
• If you have saved a copy of the original motherboard BIOS to a
bootable floppy disk, you can also use this disk to restore the BIOS.
See section "5.1.1 Creating a bootable floppy disk."
To recover the BIOS from a floppy disk:
1. Boot the system.
2. When a corrupted BIOS is detected, the following message appears.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for floppy...
3. Insert a floppy disk that contains the original, or the latest, BIOS file
for this motherboard (P4R8T.ROM). If the BIOS file that you
downloaded from the ASUS website has a different filename (e.g.
P4R8T11.ROM), rename it to P4R8T.ROM. The BIOS update
process continues when the P4R8T.ROM is found.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for floppy...
Floppy found!
Reading file "p4r8t.rom". Completed.
Start flashing...
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS!
Doing so can cause system boot failure!
4. When the BIOS update process is complete, reboot the system.
