Part 2 - BIOS Reprogramming (Re-Flashing)
After completing the Boot Sector Recovery Process, you will need to reprogram
(“re-flash”) the proper BIOS binary file again into the BIOS ROM in order to have
the correct BIOS file loaded by the system. For details on how to flash/re-flash a
BIOS, please check our website for “Update your BIOS”, or see the section 3-3
(FAQ) of this manual. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS!
When completed, the system will reboot automatically, and you will see a checksum
error again.
Press “F1” to go to setup. Press “F9” to load the defaults and then press “F10” to
save and exit.
D-2 Recovery Process from an IDE/SATA ATAPI Disc
Drive
This process is identical to the Boot Sector Recovery Process from a USB Device/
Drive (as above), except that the BIOS image file (“super.rom”) is loaded from an
IDE/ATAPI CD/DVD/ROM/RW disc drive that is attached to the system. Note that
loading from an IDE/SATA hard disk drive is NOT supported.
1.
Using a different system, download and copy the correct BIOS binary image
into a writable CD/DVD disc's Root "\" Directory. Rename the downloaded file to
"super.rom", so the recovery process can recognize and read the BIOS binary
file.
Note: Record/Burn the CD/DVD-R/RW disc using the ISO 9600 standard format.
Refer to your CD/DVD mastering application documentation for instructions on
how to do this.
2.
Insert the newly-created disc into the IDE/SATA ATAPI CD/DVD ROM/RW
drive of the system that has the corrupted BIOS and power the system down.
3.
Follow the step-by-step instructions under Part 1 - Recovery Process from a
USB Device/Drive (above) starting from Step 3 and continue on to Part 2 - BIOS
Reprogramming (Re-Flashing).
If your system still does not boot up after performing the above procedure, then
there may be other issues with your motherboard. Please contact your customer
service representative.
