The Award flash utility cannot be completed under the Windows environment. It must be done in
a pure DOS environment.

You should check which BIOS file is to be used with your motherboard, don' flash with the
wrong BIOS file. Otherwise, it may cause system malfunctions.
•
Please do not use the Award flash memory writer version earlier than Version 7.52C to flash the
BIOS. Otherwise, it may cause flash fail or un-anticipated problems.
• During the updating, the progress will be measured by white blocks. The last four blue blocks of
the flash update process represent the "BIOS boot block". The BIOS boot block is used to prevent
the BIOS from becoming corrupt during programming. It should not be programmed every time.
If this "BIOS boot block" remains intact when the BIOS becomes corrupt during programming,
then you can boot from a bootable floppy next time you boot your computer. This allows you to
flash your BIOS again without the need for technical support from the dealer.
