IMPORTANT: Flash Type may also be "INTEL 28F001BXT." If "un-
known" is after "Flash type --," then this ROM chip is not program-
mable or not supported with the PnP BIOS and therefore cannot use
the Flash Memory Writer.
This screen provides three command options, which you can invoke by typ-
ing the corresponding number of the command and pressing <Enter> key.
The following describes each command:
1. Save Current BIOS to File
This option allows you to copy the contents of the Flash memory chip into
a file in the \FLASH directory. This gives you a backup copy of the original
system BIOS in case you need to re-install it. In such cases where the data
on the chip get lost or corrupted, you can reprogram the chip using this
backup copy. We strongly recommend that you perform this procedure.
2. Update BIOS Main Block from File
This option updates the BIOS from a file on the disk. This can either be a
new file or a backup file created by the "Save Current BIOS to File" option.
This will not update the Boot Block if the Boot Block is different. You will
be prompted with the following if advanced features if necessary.
Boot Block of New BIOS is different from old one !!!
Please Use 'Advanced Feature' to flash whole bios !!!
