Updating the BIOS with the Intel ® Express BIOS Update Utility With the Intel Express BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS while in the † Windows environment. The BIOS file is included in an automated update utility which combines the functionality of the Intel Flash Memory Update utility and the ease-of use of Windows-based installation wizards.
New BIOS files • BIOS recovery files • Intel Flash Memory Update utility You can obtain the BIOS update file through your computer supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web site: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ ✏ NOTE Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS update.
Example: sys a: To create a bootable diskette using a non-DOS system: 1. Obtain the BIOS update file through your computer supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web site: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ 2. Copy the BIOS update file to a temporary directory on your hard disk.
Follow the instructions provided with your CD writer to copy the extracted files from the hard disk to the CD while creating a bootable CD. 9. The CD or diskette now holds the new BIOS files, the Intel Flash Update Utility, and the recovery files.
Updating the BIOS Recovering the BIOS It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update, however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an update fails. The following procedure uses recovery mode for the Setup program. See page 48 for more information on Setup modes.
