I have a couple of covers from my other PC but am not keen on filing them down to fit in case I need those some day. Oh, and if you have an old dead mobo that you no longer want I could be interested in that as well. And old dead sticks of ram. :p :D My email is in my profile if you want to drop me a line. :-) |

| 185052 | 2003-10-24 23:26:00 | Umm. Can someone tell me how to flash the bios? I tried downloading the exe file, and I stuck it on a floppy, and tried to boot from it, but it said it was an unbootable disk or something So, if that is not how you do it, than how do you flash your bios? |

| 185054 | 2003-10-25 07:38:00 | Ok, I had a shot a the bios myself. I have hit a problem though. I got Version 2.1 (Award) from www.msi.com.tw When I run it, for the file name to program, I put W617MS21.BIN because it is either that, or a txt file. I did the save, and called it ONBIOS. Because I didnt know if it was the Old or New bios I was saving. So the it says, The program file's part number does not match with your system! Do I keep going or not? Here is some other garbage it says on that Flash thing: For i440LX-W977-2A69JM49C Date: 11/19/97 Flash Type - WINBONF 29EE011 /5V or maybe U Helpful maybe? |

| 185055 | 2003-10-25 07:40:00 | If you double click w6117v25.exe It will extract some files. MS-6117 W617MS25 BIOS Release ----------------------------- 1. This is the Award(r) BIOS ver 2.5 release. 2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version: - Support Celeron(R) 433Mhz CPU. Note: This is only for 1MB bios. ** Please refer to FLASH.DOC for programming notes. When i did my bios I put AWDFL535.EXE & W617MS25.BIN files onto a floppy disc, I booted my pc off a win98 Boot disc & when I got the A:\ prompt I changed discs & typed AWDFL535.EXE & press enter & follow the prompts.

| 185056 | 2003-10-25 07:40:00 | Oh, and the AMI bios looks better. It says it can go up to Celeron 466Mhz. Can I use this one? I currently have the Award one. Version 1. Please help! |

| 185057 | 2003-10-25 07:42:00 | Ah well. I did it. Hope its not dead. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 185058 | 2003-10-25 07:45:00 | By memory it comes to a part that asks what file you want to use, type in W617MS25.BIN also when you install faster processor set dip switch/jumpers to 333mhz Cheers Steve |
