Important: BEFORE you start, make a note of any special settings you have in your BIOS, especially your harddisk info.
-format floppy with system files FORMAT A:/S (DONT copy autoexec.bat & config.sys)
-get AFLASH.EXE from award/phoenix or download it from the BIOS-website
-copy aflash.exe and bios-file (unzip it first if it came that way) onto the floppy
(write down the exact name of the bios-update file)
-set your BIOS to start from floppy (AFLASH only works in DOS-mode, not in Windows
================================== and not from a DOS-prompt in Windows)
-boot from that floppy, you'll be seeing the A:> prompt
-type AFLASH and press <Enter>
-at the main menu, type 1 to save current BIOS and press <Enter>
type the path\filename e.g. A:\org-bios.awd and press <Enter>
-at the main menu, type 2 and press <Enter>
The Update BIOS Including Boot Block and ESCD screen appears.
Type the path\filename of your new BIOS e.g. A:\XXX-XX.XXX and press <Enter>
-when prompted to confirm the BIOS update, press Y to start the update.
When the programming is finished, Flashed Successfully will be displayed.
-follow the onscreen instructions to continue.
-remove the floppy, reboot and go back into BIOS
-load the "Setup defaults" in your (new)BIOS and reboot
If your PC starts alright (hopefully with your new HD recognized), go back in your BIOS
and apply your special settings and set Boot-sequence back to CD-HD-Floppy or whetever it was
