Error Message:
When you type in the whole file name, e.g. A52AW10.BIN and
confirm that you want to program the BIOS. The utility will then 'Blank',
'Erase', and then 'Program' the flash memory on the mainboard with the
new BIOS file. So you better choose "yes" to save the original system
BIOS to a floppy diskette before you program the new BIOS. This
leaves you with a backup of your original BIOS in case you need to re-
install it. This option is highly recommended. If you can not sucessfully
program the BIOS file for whatever reason, re-install you original BIOS
from the backup file.
Warning: If you do not successfully install a complete BIOS file
in the flash memory on the Mainboard, your system may not be able to
boot. If this happens, it will require service by your system vendor.
Follow the requirements and instruction in this section precisely to aviod
inconvienience.
