Hey guy I need some opinions on my hotflash bios...
story is I have an abit ax78 am2+ mobo and a while back windows screwed up a flash...so I order another from abit and all is good ,so today i try and do a hot flash with the old bios chip using the new beta bios 14 and i do it through dos using a floppy.
I boot with the good chip and when in dos i remove the good chip and install the crashed chip...awdflash comes up and tells me to input the file and i type the correct...then it goes to flash and says disk not ready..Im assuming disk is the chip so does this mean the bios chip is history? Ive tryed it like 3 times and all came up the same...
just wondering if anyone else had this happen?
Its a royal pain booting with one chip and removing it, installing the other chip trying to flash and then have to start all over..the chip is a pain to get to with the video card in..I need input before i go through this again......thanks guys ....

"Disk not ready" sounds like a problem with your floppy drive/disk, not the flash BIOS chip.
