i have a soyo board that when i boot says " bios rom checksum error" is there a way to reflash the bios without sending the chip back to the manufacture? i have award bios... and what is an autoexcut.bat file and how do i find it or make one? thanks for the help...

 
Somtimes that error message just means that the bios has been reset. Sometimes when youg et that hitting F1 and setting the values lets you boot. If that doesn't work, I've heard of being able to just have a flashed bios chip sent to you.
If you can't boot from a floppy, I don't see how you could flash that chip.
Also, autoexec.bat is an old dos environmental variable file which is basically not used anymore. You don't need it for anything if you're running windows XP.
 
i cant get to windows..when i boot system i get bios check sum error....i can boot from a floppy...i have tried to reflash the bois but it keeps telling me "unknown flash type". i can boot a floppy but bios will not open or go to hd...
 
Try hitting the insert key a few times, when booting up similar to the del key trying to get into the bios.

This is supose to reset the bios to defaults. Donno if it will work but it is worth a shot I think. GL!!
