IV. BIOS SOFTWARE

Support Software

PFLASH.EXE - This is the Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by

uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM chip on the mother-

board. To determine the BIOS version, check the last four numbers of the code

displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger num-

bers represent a newer BIOS file. This file works in DOS or Windows mode.

NOTE: The following screen contents in this user's manual are provided as ex-

IMPORTANT! If “unknown” is displayed after Flash Type -- , the memory

chip is either not programmable or is not supported with the PnP BIOS and there-

fore cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

Main Menu

1. Save Current BIOS To File

This option allows you to save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS in case you

need to reinstall it. It is recommended that you save PFLASH and the BIOS file to a

bootable floppy diskette.

2. Update BIOS Main Block From File

This option updates the BIOS from a file on the disk. The file can be either a new

file or a backup file created by the “Save Current BIOS To File” option. If the boot

block in the file is different from the current boot block, this option will not update

the main block. Instead, it will display the following messages.
