manager software before you can run FMW. The easiest way to do
this is as follows:
1) Boot your system from a bootable floppy disk with no CONFIG.SYS
or AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and then run FMW from a backup copy of
your support disk. You can make your back-up floppy bootable when
you format it, and use one disk for both purposes.
2) If you are using MS-DOS 6.x, you can use the feature that allows
you to bypass the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. You can
access this feature by pressing <F5> while the "Starting MS-DOS..."
line is on the screen during boot-up.
If you are uncertain whether or not you have a memory manager
running, try FMW. If it works, then there is no active memory manager
on your system. If you see a warning message about the CPU mode,
follow the above directions to get around the memory manager.
Once you have your CPU in real mode, you can run FMW. You can
copy the contents of the "Flash" directory to your hard drive, or you
can run the utility from a backup of the support floppy disk. Either way,
make sure that the new BIOS file is in the same directory as the FMW
utility.
To start FMW, change to the "Flash" directory if you are not already in
it. Type "awdflash" at the DOS command line and press the <Enter>
key. The FMW utility screen will appear:
