BIOS Flash???? Jumper?????

[maddoggmotorsports]

i recently reformatted and have no sound - i downloaded the drivers,a WinImage Self Extractor file - i have no experience with these - i made a floppy disk like it said and the readme says;

This BIOS flash is only to be used with Micron P/N MBD001136-xx.

Special Note: Before flashing the BIOS, a jumper for JP3 on the
motherboard should be on pins 2-3. If the jumper is on pins 1-2,
move to pins 2-3.

Boot the system to a DOS prompt and ensure there are no memory managers or
TSR's loading by using the newly created bootable BIOS flash disk.

my question is this, is this easy to do, and if so, how ?

thanks

As long as your power stays on the whole time, a BIOS flash is pretty straight forward. Yours might be a little more complicated b/c of that jumper thing, but not too bad. Steps to follow:

1. create bootable floppy-the disk from winimage should be bootable. To find out: shut down, put floppy in drive, turn on power. If the system boots to a DOS prompt, you're good to go.
2. shutdown
3. move jumper-never heard of a board requiring this before, but the jumper should have JP3 silk-screened onto the MB near it. just make sure its on the right pins
4. put in floppy. If the floppy wasn't bootable, hold down f8 during startup and choose "command prompt only" (win 9x)
5. start computer.
6. change to A: (just type "A:&quot
7. run the flash program
