A.3 PHLASH16.EXE and memory managers

Phlash16 may fail if your system is using memory managers, in which case the

utility will display the following message:

Memory manager error message

If you see this message after you execute Phlash16, you must disable the

memory manager on your system. Follow the instructions in the Disabling memory

managers section in this chapter.

Because Phlash16.EXE may require the use of extended memory, it will not run

if it detects the presence of an extended-memory manager such as HIMEM.SYS,

EMM386, or QEMM. To avoid conict with disk caching programs, the program

checks for VCPI, DPMI and XMS.

The program does not check for VDISK because MS-DOS 5 and later versions

do not support that server.

If the program detects any of these utilities, the program reports a failure and

terminates.

Disabling memory managers

To avoid failure when ashing, you must disable the memory managers that load

from CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.

To disable the memory managers:

1. Boot from a bootable oppy disk created from MS-DOS 6.22.

2. During the boot process, when the message "Press any key to continue" is

displayed, press <F5>.

3. The message "MS-DOS is bypassing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT

le" appears. The memory managers will then be disabled. Do not interrupt

the process.

4. When done, ash the BIOS according to instructions in section "4.1.2

Updating the Phoenix Phlash16 Utility.

Phoenix Phlash16 Error

Cannot ash if Memory Managers (e.g. EMM386) present

PRESS ANY KEY TO EXIT
